...things just got real!!!!
All registered for my first body building show in May 2026.
Back in October 2023, despite years of experience in the fitness industry, I was lost and in the worse shape of my life, both physically and mentally. I had physical health problems including having to have tumours removed during Covid, high blood pressure and crippling levels of self loathing. Top this off with the joys of going through the menopause and you get the picture.
Raising a disabled child with complex needs, parenting my older children through University and the challenges of young adulthood, fostering, teaching and battling my own mental health issues had left me feeling completely deflated and sitting at 102kg and a UK size 22 - the biggest I've ever been.
Something snapped when I looked at this photo and I realised I needed to change. 2 years on and I'm now officially in prep to compete in the 2026 season. I am now down to a UK size 8, full of energy and feeling like I've found me again at the grand age of 48.
Excited to see what happens and where this journey takes me, with the help of my inspirational coach Claire. Thank you as always to my amazing husband for continuing to support me all the way and my brilliant children and Higgiefit community for being the best support... bring on prep over Christmas π
If you can resonate with this or need a hand to get back on track then drop me a message and let's help you to get back to being you!
