Success Story

Hey everyone.
So my success story is in 2021 I saw a pic of myself that made me think… others who I showed thought I didn’t look that bad but this pic made me evaluate my health rather than dismiss it.
It was how I was rough I was feeling on the inside.
I realised that if I was struggling to get up stairs without being out of breath, looking for something to hold onto to get up off the floor, stuffing myself with completely the wrong food & drinking to much (not water) then I had a problem… oh & the years of battle I had with smoking🤦🏻♂️
I knew that with all the help in the world I wouldn’t change unless I wanted to change…& I did😁 so with that I quit smoking, I’m now hybrid training 5/6 times a week, I feel the healthiest & fittest I’ve ever been & in April I am running my first 50km trail run, I completed a trail marathon recently & I love life😁.
Is it easy…. Nope
Do I restrict myself from life’s fun… Nope, I just don’t let it rule me, I earn it
Am I happy…. Couldn’t be more😁
