Muscles and a waist!

Having gone from weakling to an ordinary girl, I decided a few months ago that I could lose some weight. I started thinking what that might look like, to understand what my goal was.

It was then that I came across an article from Men's Fitness about this guy from the UK Glenn Parker. On the cover, was this guy that looked incredibly fit - he had the 6 pack and muscles in all the right places. Also on the cover was a little picture supposedly of the same guy. He looked like an ordinary guy with a beer belly. Apparently he went from that to cover material in 15 weeks. I could hardly believe it. I had to read the article. I wanted to know how he did it.

It was time to do something...

Like a few people I've met recently, I spent my childhood and teenage years being very inactive. I hoped never to be called to participate in any physical activity, avoided PE (physical education) classes at all costs, often very conveniently and sometimes violently ill!

What it all meant was that by the time I became an adult, there were many things I could not physically do. I was a weakling. When travelling, my luggage was limited to 19 kilos because I was unable to lift anything beyond that off the conveyor belt onto the ground.
