Perception:

I was recently photographing Dani for her transformation challenge...I was looking at her lean, mean muscles and secretly wondering how I could not possibly be like that yet??

Seriously. I have been working out like a mad thing since last Nov. I have moved from 4kg weights to 10 and 12kg??  Anyway I got the courage up to ask Dani to snap me. I had to see for myself.

I was in my daggies. I had done bootcamp just a few hours previously. But I looked at the shot and was shocked. My muscles are HUGE. I have guns baby! ( Thanks Jac!)  I don't see that when I look in the mirror. I'm not sure what it is I see..But it certainly wasn't what you see below...


I know my body shape has altered.. But you adjust to looking at yourself as you currently are and always find the negative in whatever looks back at you? Well I do...

So from today I am going to look upon my form with new eyes..I will look for the positive changes..Knowing I can lift that 12kg plate from a squat to standing - repeatedly..Means my body must be different - better... I think we all should check out our perception of ourselves and be less critical...

And you know what?? I wasn't even really pumping it in the photo? Too shy - photographer - NOT model!!
Thanks Dani - for making me appreciate my hard work!
