led a pretty sedimentary lifestyle, not into sport at all. Worked away from home for 2 and a half years and lived in hotels, ate in the venue dining rooms and ate in the hotel restauarnts at night and soon piled on the pounds.And started to feel bad about myself. I needed something I could focus on, something I could do for myself, I felt I had lost control of what was going on around me. I needed to focus a a goal, and make me feel better about myself, and regain confidence and a better perception of myself. I then had an accdent at work, and was laid up for 6 months in total, My pyhsio said I needed to work on my core strength. so hit the weights more seriously.
Its something I do for me. I feel that all my life I have done things for others, I felt insignificant. Now I have a presence, confidence. I love the feeling of control, confidence and looking good, my kids love the way I look, and I now have the strengh and energy to enjoy life with them.
