Where am I now!??
So since my last reveal all article back at the end of
November
(check it out here - http://ianforanpersonaltrainerheywood.blogspot.co.uk/2012/11/never-done-this-before-but-heres-my.html)
I’ve been on a journey of finding my true self, create a new
blueprint and trying to face my demons
It’s been a tough ride!
The supportive messages I received after that blog took me
by surprise, I was expecting criticism left, right & center. I had people I’ve
not spoke to in ages inboxing me. Maybe it related to there own personal battle
in some way it defo give me a huge boost.
I’d like to think In some way I inspired some people to open up a bit more & realise it's ok not to be perfect.
I know from a fitpro point of view it’s sooo much easier for me being open and honest
with NOTHING to hide. I’m not a robot, I’m human.
I'm finding I can interact with people a lot more, I don't have to have a persona or a fake front. I can finally be myself!
So recently I’ve had a plenty of people asking how I’m doing
with my journey or where I’m at with things, so I thought I’d give you all an update…
I’ll be honest it’s been hard work, emotional eating and
addiction isn’t something that I could
over come within weeks. I still have mental
battles with myself most days - sometimes the devil wins sometimes it doesn’t but it’s all
progress. I’m more aware of it nowadays and I think that makes it easier to make the right decision.
I’ve also had like 2 takeaways this year which is a MAJOR
improvement because last years mentality was 2 a weekend!
I still go out every Thursday with the boys but I’ve swapped
my lager for gluten free strongbow and sometimes I even drink water and spice
it up with some lemon, the lads are really supportive of me and don’t give me
toooooo much shit haha. (they are lads after all)
I’ll be honest it took me a lot to start training again in
2013 but I threw myself into it this week, I know I missed 7 weeks but I’ve
started, better to start late than never at all. I'm rocking out with some weight training and man am I sore! (yeah probably payback, I know)
Here’s the one thing I’m MADE up with - is my body…no more
fat trainer for me!! I’ve worked a lot on my nutritional habits, like I said it’s been tough but this isn’t a quick fix this is long term, I’m gonna stumble but my recovery is miles better nowadays.
Here’s me now…
On the left is me in 29th November 2012,
On the
right is me on 27th Feb 2013
Recently I’ve become the ‘naked fitpro’ with the Naked truth
about weight loss
(Episode 1 here-http://youtu.be/M99xtQ6JWsU)
I basically came up with this idea to show I have nothing to
hide, this is my body, you’ll see it transform thoughout the episodes…plus I
think it’s a buzz :D
I’ll keep you updated on my progress throughout the year but
be sure to check out the naked truth each week on a Friday to see my continued transformation and learn some uber cool shiz
Thank you for your support you have all kept me going!
