Committed to be the best I can be

It might interest everyone here to know that I do not have a perfect body.

I have scoliosis, have never been good at sport, and struggle to complete my exercise routines.

Yep, I'm just like you one way or the other. This morning I trained for 1/2 an hour. Mostly I train in the morning when I am most focussed. The other times of the day, I am too distracted. My big achievement for the day was 3 x 15 1 arm bent-over dum bell rows with a 7 kg weight !!!!

I have been struggling the last couple of weeks to reduce my body fat levels. Although my overall weight is within normal BMI, my body fat borders on obese, so I have been trying to get this down. Unfortunately, the body does funny things when you try to alter body composition. It has been sitting on 30% bodyfat for quite some time.

The truth is, we all struggle with our bodies and our weight, but that's O.K. because as long as we don't give up, we have not failed. The minute I give up, decide that training is too hard, takes too long, makes me look silly, that's when I know I am a failure. So today I choose commitment rather than failure and have committed to be the best person I can be.

Sucess is not a measure of what you have, but a measure of where you have come from.
