I got sick of my kids saying that I was bony. They often told me that when they cuddled me, it felt like they were hugging an emaciated skeleton, well, something like that anyway. Other people commented once to many times that the meat that was on my bones was only there because I needed something so that people would not mistake me for the grim reaper.So I decided that enough was enough. I had two options, either continue the way of the bony warrior or get some muscle on the framework. I'm a hard gainer so it takes a while to meat up. My ultimate goal is to throw a camera in my face and through the random act of collective camera exposure, to do some photo-shoots for magazines. (something like the 'try-hard quarterly' will do).
for a long time I was thinking that it was too late in life to start because I was too old. It wasn't until I looked at some profiles of over 40s that I realised that I could still have a shot at this, so my paradigm shifted and I joined the local gym.
Here starts the journey!!

I live with Depression and have done all my life. My journey is made up of many successes contributing to where my life is now. I do this for a job. Supporting many others with Mental Health issues to gain employment. I speak to orgs, businesses and companys about the importance of mental wellbeing and the dangers of discrimination. I'm a catoonist and love performing 'live' cartoons in my seminars. My Fav saying ' You are not the total sum of depression'.
My goal: to get people to know the difference between black dog and themselves and then to get aggresive with fighting it.
I work out because I really feel and love the chemical rush this brings. I feel good. Still a long way to go to get the body I want but I love the journey and the challenge.
lets do this together....!!!!!
