The new year gives us the chance to have a fresh start. I make new year’s resolutions every single year without fail. Starting something new is a really good way to have a fresh beginning and a new start. It feels like it’s a clean slate, and that’s a feeling worth holding on to to renew your motivation and drive.
Growing up, I was quite self-conscious. I still am now, but after a long time and many, many bumps in the road, I’ve got to a point where I don’t care what anyone else thinks.
Whether you’ve been working out for decades or have just completed your first sit-up, everyone starts somewhere.
My journey has not been the easiest, but I wouldn’t have it any other way! The challenges that have been thrown my way have made me who I am and made my determination stronger and stronger and my goals bigger and bigger.
If you follow me on Instagram, you’ll probably be aware that on Saturday, I’m going to be competing in a little event called The Arnolds. Okay, not so little – The Arnolds is the biggest multi-sport festival in the world, founded in 1999 by Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jim Lorimer. They are usually held in America, but this weekend (1st-3rd October), they are coming to the UK for the first time.
