Drop Mass, Build Lean Mass - My Physical Transformation Part 3

In this time, I set myself a target to complete the London Triathlon in August 2006. I was focused to complete the race in under three hours and I exceeded my own targets. This had been my number one goal for quite a long time and I had achieved it! As you can imagine, this felt great!

Unfortunately I didn't have the sense to set myself any other challenging goals after my personal accomplishment at the London Triathlon. I truly thought that I would never ever be hefty again. I believed that I had mastered fat management for good. Guess what? I was wrong!

My passion for coaching other individuals to accomplish their health related targets slowly faded. I guess I had forgotten what it had been like to be pudgy and unhappy about it and this meant that I was less able to empathise with others. I think that deep down I didn't want to 'disregard' my Engineering degree too. I had worked hard to get a good degree and my parents had supported me in my choice to go to University. It was time for me to put my learnings to proper use!

In 2009 I made the decision that I would be an Engineering teacher or lecturer. I started training, which gave me a better focus in my life. I still worked out and consumed a healthy diet, but I was never quite as purposeful as I had been before. However I was heading towards another fall! In my mind, being good and energetic became less valuable and teaching became more imperative. It seems strange to me now, looking back, that I didn't acknowledge that both were equally valuable. It goes without mentioning that my size began gradually rising for the second moment in my life. By the end of 2010 I was back to being very pudgy and on the border to obese.

Reality hit and I knew that I had to take charge again. I knew that I am able to make the necessary advancements because I had done it before. I had an outline that I could follow. All I had to do was put together how I made the change previously. The secret, as I have previously told you in the foreword above, is in your impression and your mind-set.

Trust me when I tell you that you can change one tiny thing and that advancements alone can cause an avalanche of improvements! These kinds of changes are often influenced by your fundamental opinions. A global truth is nothing more than a situation that you hold to be true about yourself, which influences your decisions and actions.

I felt that I had to perceive myself as something new earlier I could become something better. For me, I had already benefited by seeing myself as a personal trainer. This time around I have chosen to view myself as an athlete! Because of this, I exercise harder, eat healthier and often act how I think an athlete would need to behave.

I am not saying that I am a talented athlete by any stretch of the imagination, but in my mind I aim to treat my health like the body of an athlete. I have begun competing in half marathons and triathlons like before and I am back on focus. The key difference is that I now make certain that I always have my next race or event set up to keep my focus. I also acknowledge the importance of maintaining my health, as well as pursuing my career. They are both important and I can make opportunity for both if I prioritise properly.
