    Send a Message to the Big Lad!

    Chade gives us 3 live diary entries in the build up to his son being born!! There's pacing, jitters, and an informative update of where the mind might go in times of pressure with regards to ones over all life goals. A fascinating slice of life (and a glimpse at the anticipation and excitement that takes place before an actual one begins...)

    Another reminder we are in no way affiliated with or sponsored by McDonalds...but I do fancy one of those Philly Cheese Stacks I must say...

    Sep 9 2024

    Send a Message to the Big Lad!

    The 8th Progress Ep! Chade looks back at the last 10 weeks and ponders the many ups and down of holidays, injuries, bouncing back, getting injured again, then attempting to bounce back. Chade also gives us a sneak peak at what's coming up and seems to have a new obsession with the numbers seven, eight and nine.

  • Diary Entry - A Whole Lotta Goal
    Sep 2 2024

    Send a Message to the Big Lad!

    In this Diary Entry, after another little speed bump (following last weeks upbeat episode), Chaders discusses how it's perhaps a byproduct of feeling over confident.

    Among the many things discussed, Chade delves into how he wants to get to the gym but there's something missing, something stopping his usual enthusiasm that he can't quite put his finger on. Life events, good and bad, occasionally are throwing him off. There's also a bit of analysis of his own behaviour regarding his history of not only eating too much, but also burning it off too quickly and therefore, finding it harder to maintain!!

    Chade caps off the entry with most importantly, what he's going to do about all of the above!

    If you can relate to any of the topics discussed in this episode, we'd absolutely love to hear from you!

  • A Guide To Returning to Positivity - The Eye Of The Big Lad (careful...)
    Aug 26 2024

    Send a Message to the Big Lad!

    This week, after last weeks more sombre tone, Chade talks about reassessing his daily routine while being in a more positive space (and making it all the better for it).

    Chade also talks about the wonders of his Dad’s magic cream (steady) and how it’s helped him (literally) get back on his feet. What is it? (Cream) Where does it come from? (Ireland) It's all discussed here!

    Also, taking a step back and reassessing goals are discussed, and how making a few slight changes has helped Chade out of his rut. For more information on setting goals (and advise from a professional,) check out the pervious episodes below where we set some goals in real time and interview the great Annie Page.

    Send a Message to the Big Lad!

    In this short entry, Chade talks about reaching a low point in his quest, and ponders what went wrong.

    We try to keep things as upbeat as possible at 'Diary Of A Big Lad', but authenticity has always been one of the most important things we wanted to give to our audiences when we set out making the pod, so we hope you appreciate this nugget of honesty.

    The story continues from last week as Chade, dealing with the unexpected twist of a sore wrist (because of exercise, get your mind out of the gutter!), takes us through how he's dealing with the inevitable change in the routine and whether or not it'll set him back, or just down a slightly different path...

    Jul 29 2024

    Send a Message to the Big Lad!

    Chade rocks another solo ep where he talks about getting a handle on his routines and workout after having the boat rocked a little on holiday (not literally he went by plane). Taking a look at his habits and his handling of them, he dishes out what's worked for him and hopefully, how it can work for you too!
