With my 27th birthday coming up, I've thought long and hard about what I want for it. I will be spending it in Italy with my family, so that in itself is pretty incredible and more than I would ever dream to ask for. As I approach my late 20's, I've found that I am really starting to think carefully about what I want from my life, and I have decided that I want abs. This is a bit of a pie-in-the-sky goal, but one that I know I am capable of achieving, if I put in the effort.

With my 27th birthday coming up, I've thought long and hard about what I want for it. I will be spending it in Italy with my family, so that in itself is pretty incredible and more than I would ever dream to ask for. As I approach my late 20's, I've found that I am really starting to think carefully about what I want from my life, and I have decided that I want abs. This is a bit of a pie-in-the-sky goal, but one that I know I am capable of achieving, if I put in the effort.

Having danced since the age of 3, I was always a fit youngster, and I was tiny to boot. I was always one of the smaller girls in my class, and to be honest I quite liked being "cute". However, even as young as 11 (and still one of the smallest in my classes), I could still (proudly) make a doughnut of fat around my belly button. I really shouldn't have been so excited by that as I now have the whole entire bundt cake and it really isn't so great at all.

So, with my birthday approaching, I have decided that I am going to work towards being in the best shape of my life. I am no longer tiny, but I know that below an obscene amount of fat there is a gorgeous little pocket rocket inside. I want abs as I enter this new part of my life, as I am a bit nervous about getting older and feel that if I can do this for myself then I can do anything!

Good luck on your journey and I look forward to sharing my progress with you all xxxx
