One of those days!

Hi All

I have had one of those days when I could have easily just eaten my way out of feeling crap!! BUT would have ended up feeling Crapper!! Do you know what I mean?

I am a pretty confident and strong person in certain areas of my life.

I am raising two children that are a true gift to me, I have the FULL help and support of my gorgeous hubby and although I feel the strain of being a Mum sometimes, the good outweighs the testing times. This is one area I feel confident and strong in, my love for my Children and Husband is unconditional and no matter what I will ALWAYS put them first.

The other area I feel confident and strong in is my choosen career. I always put myself out for others I work with, I always give 100% to each and every class I teach, I am passionate about what I do and helping people to enjoy exercise and change there exercise experience for the better.

The one area that I feel drains me more than anything and is such a waste of my time, is worrying constantly about how I feel, look and how I am perceived, not only to others but more to myself.

For those who are reading and don't know my history I have been up 100kg and down to 55kg no once but TWICE!

Here is the 100kg picture !!!
ARGHHHHHH!!

I can't believe I'm posting this!!!
This is around 5 years ago now.









With alot of hard training, eating right I managed to get down to this.........


Since this photo I have gained 9kgs!

I cannot explain how dissapointed I am in
Myself!

But the thing I am most dissapointed
about is the fact that I gained this last year
and I have spent ALL OF THIS YEAR
trying to get rid of it!!

MY GOD ! can lose 45kg but I can't get
my head right to lose 9kgs? what is that all about!?





Anyway the reason for all of my ramblings above is that fact that today I can say I am NO WAY, NEVER, EVER going to waste my time, my emotions, all of my effort on worrying about whether I can do this, whether I can lose 9kgs, whether I can feel confident in myself and how I look.

I have 'started again' too many times, I have said 'this time i'm gonna do it' too many times.

I cannot afford to waste any more time making excuses!! I have to get there and I have to enjoy life.

I am feeling very powerful and strong today which is why I have written this blog, I am truly focussed at the moment, my training is going well, I am eating clean and I feel unstoppable. I cannot honestly say that in all my other 'attempts' this year I have never felt this way.

I am going to seize this moment and continue to push on.


'A ship in the harbor is safe. But that's not what ships are built for.'

Navigating your ship

Taking the easy way out is, well, easy. Human beings naturally stick with their normal routines because they offer feelings of security. But by staying in the same routine, you miss out on new opportunities.

If you are waiting around for your goals to just fall into your lap, it could take awhile. But your goals are achievable- if you're willing to break from the norm and cast your ship down uncharted waters.

My aim, my goal, is not only to lose the 9kg that seems to be holding me back, but more importantly to be CONFIDENT and STRONG in all areas of my life, so I can raise Confident and Strong children.

Thanks for listening

Just a few words........

What we can learn from our path to the present?

Often in moments of discouragement or depression, it's easy to feel that your life is going nowhere or that change is impossible. But it's simply not true!
Take a minute to think back over your life.
Chances are, you'll see a lot of growth in all of your formative areas. From childish playing, to youthful impulsiveness and adult reasoning, life sure has taken you on a rollercoaster hasn't it? When you were young, someone probably asked you what you wanted to be when you grew up. If someone posed that same question to you now, what would you say?
Let this reflection be an indicator of your dreams

Day 2 - Done

Day 2 - Done

Still feeling strong, 'WOW 2 days' I hear you all saying, but if I could put into words how much I have been struggling lately to just 'get back to business' you would understand that it feels great to be back eating clean and focussd again! Already I have more energy, I don't have the puffy feel etc etc. . . . . .

Anyway. . . . . . . . . . .

Cardio - Bodyattack class, had loads of energy and loads of people turn up, great buzz when you have a big class.

Weights - day off as I can't be sore tomorrow as I have to teach Bodypump

Other - Bodybalance class

Food - 100% clean and all meals eaten today!


Soooooooooooooooo busy this week, we are launching the new Les Mills releases this weekend, my head knows nothing else but new choreography.

Speak soon

DAY 1 - DONE

DAY 1


All good for Day 1!!


Cardio - Taught Bodyattack this morning and then taught Bodyattack tonight!! Man it's tough to do two in a day


Weights - Shoulders and Abs


Other - Taught a Bodybalance this morning, I think i would go insane without teaching BB, it calm me and gives my body a different kind of workout.


Food - 100% clean, but missed a meal (opps)

Feeling positive and strong, but don't we always when we start something new!! Just gotta keep it rolling!!


Other news - My boy did well at school today in his sports carnival!! YAY for Bryce! He won the 200m, came 2nd in the sprint (75m) and 2nd in Long Jump, 4th in 400m.

Foxtel being installed tomorrow, obviously my hubby is more excited than I am, in fact he is the only one excited by this!

Keep watching and love to get your comments! :)
