Reach for your dreams

As a family we have had a few ups and downs over the past few years. Sometimes it feels like we have more downs than ups. But with the support of good people there is always light at the end of the tunnel. Thank you Charlotte xx

Over the years I have played the self guilt game. Denying myself things I want as punishment for not following through things I felt I should of achieved. A lot of these things I should have done, fit within that area of your persona that you find uncomfortable to do, through negative self imaginary. Unfortunately this is a self fulfilling prophecy, as you feel low for denying yourself something you enjoy for not following through on something you personally find difficult. It become hard to break out of the cycle.

So over the last year, with support of my family, I have changed my outlook on life. Seizing my dream and pushing hard to achieve what is important to me.

Surprisingly the upshot is those things that if I didn't do would cause me to punish myself, and deny my dreams are getting done as well. It is amazing what a positive self image can do to ones outlook and drive.

So my goal is to compete in a bodybuilding contest, I have worked hard on getting my diet right and taking my body back into some sort of shape.

But feel that I need some additional help to take my body to the next level. So I have invested in a personal trainer to help me push forward on my goal. We had our first session today and it was a great workout.

He recommended that I take some before shots and measurements, so here is a before shot of my back.
