Proud Friend...even more motivated...

Pre-Judging at Mr and Miss Fitness Competition was something else - so many beautiful bodies in one room it was difficult to contain myself at times...

Very proud to see the people I know taking part and even more proud that Megan made it into the top ten - it shows if you want something bad enough you will go for it! If you believe you will succeed!

For those that didn't make it - you were ALL winners just by being up on that stage.If you don't get up there you will get no shots at winning or getting your name out there and each show is a learning curve, the next time you just gotta come back bigger and better than the last...NEVER GIVE UP!

All in all the show was great and awesome to see the talent out there...onwards and upwards I say...

May the BEST athletes WIN tonight!!

You can be whatever you want to be...NEVER GIVE UP!

There is inside you
All of the potential
To be whatever you want to be;
All of the energy
To do whatever you want to do.
Imagine yourself as you would like to be,
Doing what you want to do,
And each day, take one step
Towards your dream.
And though at times it may seem too
difficult to continue,
Hold on to your dream.
One morning you will awake to find
That you are the person you dreamed of,
Doing what you wanted to do,
Simply because you had the courage
To believe in your potential
And to hold on to your dream.
~Donna Levine

Mr and Miss Fitness SA Competition

Trust your heart and don't be afraid to reach out to something new. Go ahead get your hopes up even if things turn out differently than you hoped/imagined. You will have tried, you will have learned, you never have to live with regrets not doing what you always wanted to.It seems to me what wears us down the most in life aren't the chances we take but the ones we don't take, the dreams we put aside, the adventure we push away. So what ever you want in life go for it!

Today I am a very proud friend - over the past 9 months I have watched my friends transform their bodies and it has been amazing to watch. I wish each and every athlete competing in today's Mr and Miss Fitness Competition the best of luck - remember you are ALL winners just by making it to this day!

Thursday 02 December 2010...that is the date my journey started...someone who believed I had what it takes to be something great is the exact reason I am on this journey to better my life...mind and body every damn day!



Koh Lanta Thailand October 2010

Looking back at the shape I was in on holiday in Thailand, one would wonder why on earth I ever wore a bikini or how I managed to let myself get to that but one never realises until you actually take that step and get weighed, measured and get told you have a body fat % of 39% which is that of an obese person. I was in shock and a bag of emotions at the time but right there and then there were no more excuses and no more "Yes I will start tomorrow".Being pushed to go and see my nutritionist was definitely the best thing that ever happened to me.

It has been a rough few months and I have had my ups and downs adjusting my life to this new lifestyle I now live but I think I have finally gotten the hang of it and I am on the correct path - the path to bigger and better things!

Life isnt about finding yourself - life is about creating yourself! I have been told that hard work never killed anyone and so far I'm still standing - so here's to the next few months and the rest of my life dedicated to HARD WORK!
