I never believed I could build visible muscle or become leaner.
As a teen & in my early 20s, I had a slim build, but I envied people with defined legs & never felt confident about my own.
I assumed it was just how I was built. I was sporty & didnāt have a lot of body fat, so I figured that was it for me. Deep down I didnāt love it, but I accepted it.
I was very much an all or nothing person⦠but when I saw people doing extreme diets or training plans, I was put off. So I didnāt change anything.
But then I joined a bootcamp & felt fitter & stronger for the first time in my adult life. I noticed muscles Iād never felt - & the sessions were only 3x a week for 45 minutes.
I loved it.
Eventually I became a PT & started training in the gym. I saw more change, but I wasnāt lean, so I thought results like that just werenāt for me.
Then I slowly gained weight, from stress & poor habits. Iād never gained a noticeable amount of fat before, so I didnāt really notice until it crept up on me.
Cue more all or nothing, as I tried low carb thinking thatād be enough. I knew the term calorie deficit but didnāt know how to create one for myself, because I later realised Iād just replaced the carbs with more fat & protein.
Despite being a qualified PT, you donāt really get taught about nutrition & fat loss.
I felt lost. Unconfident. Miserable.
So I hired a coach.
I learned to track calories. I brought back carbs. I trained smart & hard - & finally got leaner & more defined, for the first time ever, at 26.
With that & continued learning, I realised I didnāt need to go to extremes to get results.
Later, at 32, I prepped for a photoshoot. It took 15 weeks to achieve that physique, but really, it took me 12 years.
It was the most confident Iād ever felt.
I had the definition I was always after & was fitter & stronger than ever.
Now I know what Iām capable of, even in different circumstances.
As a coach, I want to help you feel the same. To break away from the all or nothing mindset.
If youāre stuck in this way of thinking, believing you canāt change⦠you can.
You just need the right plan, & the right support.
