I am a personal trainer and twice now have completed a challenge and bodybuilding competition. Twice now I have not been able to maintain healthy eating habits and training and have 'blown out'.
This is something that I see so often and have always promised it will not be me!!! But it is more than just the unhealthy/ overeating, it is the debilitating battle with the mind on so many levels.
There are a million and one body transformation challenges today and if you look hard enough there is probably a new one starting each day of the year, but where is the support post challenge and post comp?
I was lucky enough to have an amazing coach who supported me through one of these journeys, my most recent being the bodybuilding comp., but it was most certainly not his lack of support that let me down this time. Nothing could be further from the truth actually, it was my mind.
This project is about 2 women the personal trainer and the client. My client has had a similar experience and this will be the beginning of turning it all around. We will be making healthy a habit and finding balance along the way to maintain it for life.
The very raw, the very personal story about body image, balancing life, work, motherhood, training and becoming happy with the reflection of those gym mirrors we are surrounded by daily.
