As some of you know, I have been training now for about 6 months. I eat 3 meals a day, train 6 days a week (Weights and Cross Trainer) and I cycle 6 miles most days to work and back. You would think, by now, that I was in fantastic shape and had one of them lean, mean body’s that you see on You Tube. . . . . wrong!! You see, one thing I have definitely learned over the past 6 months is that it is all down to genetics! These people that you see on TikTok or Facebook or You Tube showing off how amazing they look have all won the gene pool lottery. It doesn’t matter how much work you do, or how little you eat, you are NEVER going to look like them! I weighed myself today after a whole week of 3 sensible meals a day and plenty of exercise, and I weigh 1.2 Kilos MORE than I did last week!! However, I’m not going to beat myself up about it because, if I keep doing what I’m doing, I will eventually start to lose the weight. I know that I will never be mean and lean, my height of 5’9″ and my weight of 104kg has put a stop to that, but I will be fitter than I’ve ever been! You see, it’s not about trying to look like the latest superstar or celebrity, they are just ordinary people like you and I, it’s just that they have better jobs! You can only look like you, and if your body is not geared to look like all the celebrities do, then it won’t happen regardless of how much you starve yourself, you won’t get the result you are searching for. Just keep going and keep doing what it is that you do, and eventually, you will see small changes, just accept who you are, what shape you are and just enjoy life!!

Make YOU happy!

Love & Light
