Following your own path….
I have never trained this hard physically in my life and followed such a prescriptive diet. I have so much respect for bodybuilders and those who compete in the figure and fitness categories. It’s been 7 weeks now…but it hardly seems like a drop in the ocean compared to so many on this website. I have spent a lot of time looking at training programs, photos, reading articles but in the end I realise, I have to follow my own path. I guess this means, not trying to be someone else, copy another physique, but just explore my own and be the best I can be. Also, I discovered I need to reduce get going with my reps to get that final definition. I am worried about looking to muscley or skinny. But in front of the camera I know that all changes. Who knows what the end result will be, but I have learnt some really valuable lessons about myself already. Off to train legs today…..oh yeah, I have kept up my 400 crunches 6 days a week…and I have some abs! Belinda

Hi Belinda, I love your attitude. You are right. What I love about this journey is the self discovery that comes along with it. It is most definitely mind, body, spirit. Thanks for sharing your path with us.

I’m jealous! 400 crunches? Very impressive. I have been dealing with the same problem as you for some time. I’ve tried to walk everyone’s path, but my own. This lead to failure after failure and I couldn’t figure out why. Now I’ve got it dialed in. It’s my life and I need to travel my own path. Good luck with your success.

Wow, Iit’s obvious 400 crunches means some heavy-duty ab work and an amazing body for you. (My version was more like eating 400 Nestle’s Crunch bars. But I’m slowing changing for the better, I think.) You should definitely be happy being you. Beautiful and functional. You are the Surf Bella! Living the dream. Because you earn it every day. I am in awe.
