Drop Mass, Develop Lean Tissue - My Body Changes Part 3

In this moment, I set myself a goal to finish the London Triathlon in August 2006. I was wanting to complete the race in under 3 hours and I surpassed my own targets. This had been my main goal for quite some time and I had achieved it! As you can imagine, this felt great!

However I didn't have the foresight to set myself any other meaningful targets after my personal accomplishment at the London Triathlon. I actually envisioned that I would never ever be pudgy again. I thought that I had mastered weight management for good. Guess what? I was wrong!

My desire for mentoring other members to win over their health related aims slowly declined. I guess I had overlooked what it had been like to be heavier than average and sad about it and this meant that I was not able to empathise with other people. I believe that deep down I didn't want to 'abandon' my Engineering degree too. I had worked hard to achieve a good degree and my mum and dad had supported me in my choice to go to University. It was time for me to put my knowlege to proper use!

In 2009 I decided that I would be an Engineering teacher or lecturer. I started college, which gave me a better focus in my life. I still trained and consumed a healthy diet, but I was never quite as motivated as I had been before. However I was heading towards another fall! In my mind, remaining well and energised became less essential and teaching became more important. It seems strange to me now, looking back, that I didn't acknowledge that both were equally essential. It goes without mentioning that my shape began steadily rising for the second moment in time in my life. By the end of 2010 I was back to being very heavier than average and borderline obese.

Reality hit and I felt that I had to take charge again. I knew that I could make the necessary advancements because I had done it before. I had a strategy that I could copy. All I had to do was pull together how I made the change before. The secret, as I have previously told you in the foreword above, is in your perceptions and your mindset.

Believe me when I tell you that you can develop one little thing and that changes alone can cause an wealth of advancements! These types of changes are generally influenced by your global opinions. A core truth is nothing more than a truth that you hold to be true about yourself, which influences your decisions and actions.

I felt that I had to view myself as something new previously I could become something different. For me, I had now benefited by perceiving myself as a personal trainer. This time round I have chosen to view myself as an athlete! Because of this, I train harder, eat healthier and often act how I think an athlete would need to act.

I am not saying that I am a competitive athlete by any stretch of the imagination, but in my brain I aim to treat my health like the body of an athlete. I have begun competing in half marathons and triathlons again and I am back on focus. The fundamental difference is that I now make sure that I always have another race or event planned to keep my focus. I also accept the importance of looking after my health, as well as pursuing my career. They are both valuable and I can make chance for both if I prioritise properly.
