Start of Week 2 – 8th June, 2026

We kicked off Week 2 on the King’s Birthday public holiday, with Luke and I (Tom) needing to knock out 140 push-ups between us for the day. No doubt young Connor will smash out all 140 on his own—what it would be like to be 21 again!

It was great to have a rest day yesterday, and I treated myself to a massage to get ready for another big week ahead. I’m starting to notice that each day is getting a little easier. With consistency and persistence, it doesn’t feel like as much of a struggle to get through the push-ups.

I guess that’s a bit like life. The hurdles we face each day can feel huge at the time, but when you break them down into manageable pieces, you eventually look back and think, “Shit, I actually did it.”

Whatever you’re facing, whatever challenges come your way—take it step by step. And remember, you’re never alone.

“Look after yourself, look after your loved ones, stay true, Much love guys!” – Tom
