Last week I also recieved an inspiring vision board from one of my clients, Cathryn. She has achieved so much in her life and is now working towards a personal training career in pre/post natal health.

Crossfit workouts are being owned by me at last after a brief hiccup and lost direction. Yoga is really taking me to new places spiritually. On monday I'm going to try arial yoga - yoga suspended from the ceiling!!! Which is finally available in melbourne. Ballet is challenging and fun although I need new pointe shoes and am really stressing about buying them as they are made from leather, which is in direct contrast to my vegan lifestyle.

All in all I'm getting a little over hearing people complain about everything in thier lives although the clients I have been seeing lately are taking control, not making excuses anymore and feeling amazing for it. It can be hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel; trauma and drama happen all the time, but what you make of your life is up to you. You can complain, starve, smoke, drink, take drugs, eat bad food and sit on your arse...or you can get up and change. Pretty sure that you'll complain far less when you realise you are in control of your destiny.

Tomorrow morning's session may elicit a few whiney protests from me though!!

NOW is the time to...

Today, I am thankful. We spent the weekend down at Phillip Island with a group of friends and it was lovely. While DS is still out of sorts and I'm surviving on very little sleep, it is bareable and my dear friends made my trip away a fun adventure. I started 2012 by leaping (read:tripping over the BBQ grill) into my bestest girlfriends arms listening to Cher sing "if I could turn back time..." and sighting a few fireworks between the trees...shortly followed by bed snuggled between Riv and his daddy.
This morning after a healthful breakfast, us girlies did some yoga, we cleaned then proceeded to the beach.
Breakfast consisted of crunchola, coconut yogurt (thankyou Amy for introducing us...it's love), and fresh strawberries. For DS I baked quinoa flakes into little finger pieces (his is on the left):

Annette, owner of http://bodyblitzfitness.net/, posted a four part series on goal setting last week which I quite enjoyed completing. The first step was to write down 20 things that we had accomplished in 2011, mine included having a peaceful hypnobirth (despite ending up with an emergency c-sect), getting through 5 subjects at uni, and starting on my writting career. I'm sure that somewhere in Netts 20 achievements would be the success of her PT business (and looking mighty fly whilst working her butt off!). The second step was to name our goal for 2012 and to list the things that may stand between us and said goal...I have quite a few goals for the upcoming year but in terms of my health & fitness my main goal is to get back into size 6 jeans (comfortably!). The obstacles in my way are time, time management and breastfeeding (ok...not really the act itself but the hunger I feel after a cluster feed- Wowee!). Netts' goal is to be in her best shape yet by her birthday and I believe in her 110%. The third step is visualisation. Allocating time to visualise where/who/how we want to be and providing OURSELVES with motivation in the form of a "vision board", see mine here:

Collage is one of my favourite quiet activities! So I had fun putting this bad boy together.

Finally we need to take ACTION. Start working towards your goal NOW. Let nothing stand between you and your goals.

thanks Netty :)

So, I'd like to hear what your goals are...making yourself accountable to someone is a great place to start.

Cheers & Giggles
