Throwback 📸
I’ve been looking through the archives this week and found these gems from 5 years back!
I look back at how I perceived “fitness” and what it was to be “healthy”. But in fact all I remember from this is sacrifice.
Let me explain…
To maintain a low body fat percentage or have a six pack, we need to give up and sacrifice a lot of the things we love in life.
At the time of this shoot I’d be eating 3 chicken breasts a day, 2 tuna steaks, 2 protein shakes and a ton of veg and oats.
I’d also have given up (just to name a few) beer, wine, chocolate, sausages, bacon, burgers and even potatoes! I wouldn’t let myself slip.
Sounds miserable right?
I won’t lie… it’s not a great way to live. Constantly preparing meals so I didn’t have to eat fast food before I’d go out to meet friends, drinking vodka and fizzy water on nights out instead of enjoying the taste of beer and wine and training twice… sometimes thrice per day!!!
It was full on.
Do I look like this now?
No.
Am I just as strong, healthy and happy?
Way more so! 😁
Am I carrying a little extra chub?
Hell yeah! And I love it 😉
What I’m trying to get at here peeps, is this…
Just because you think you’ll be truly happy once you have the body fat of a greyhound… doesn’t mean you will be…
Choose your goals wisely and achieve them because they make you happy, rather than because of how they make you look.
You’re all beautiful to me 😘
