A little about me

I started my fitness journey 2 years ago and it's the best thing I've ever  done. I was a stay at home mother to 3 children, and just needed an outlet, I was sick of complaining about my body and hating bits of it and wishing I was fitter. So I got stuck in and started training and running. I fell in love with every aspect of exercise, the feeling of satisfaction when you'd push yourself, the confidence you gain when you see your body changing and the health benefits too.

It was nerve wrecking to say the least. But you know what it didn't kill me, it was the start of my baby steps. SMALL PROGRESS.  The confidence started to build and I could feel myself becoming a happier person.  ...
