Challenging myself

You’ll have noticed that the last week hasn’t been one to find me in a particularly chipper mood. Money is tight, work isn’t fulfilling me and I’ve also been physically run down. This weekend I’m really trying to fight off a sore throat and deal with a stomach situation which isn’t pleasant.

I’ve decided that once I get my physical wellbeing back on track then the best thing I can do is give myself more goals, and look after myself. Setting myself a goal for the exhibition has done wonders for progress there, so fingers crossed I’ll stick to the goals in other areas.

I’m setting myself what I’m calling an aussieBum challenge. I did a shoot a few years ago for aussieBum in front of the camera and didn’t train at all for it and quite frankly I was frustrated with myself and how I looked in the shots. SO, my challenge is to get myself into the shape I think I should have been in for that shoot. That is, a lot closer to looking like Toby, Andreas, Tim et al, than I do now and did then. I will never be mistaken for an aB model in the street, but surely if my physical health is at it’s peak the emotional wellbeing can’t be too far behind?

Stay tuned for the “before” photos and measurements. Then in 6 months time, we’ll see what progress I’ve made. Let’s get the second half of 2010 moving along shall we?

    Hey B-
    Good luck and remember your resolution to mine the silver lining from those clouds that are casting shadows in your life. It is natural to have peaks and valleys and recognizing the low times makes us appreciate the good all the more. Get well – once you are feeling a bit healthier, you’ll be in a better position to face those other challenges (physical and mental).
