Counting my blessings...

It's been several weeks since I last blogged (actually 3 weeks from when I was in Melbourne for the Nationals)... Now comp season is over, it feels like I have dropped back a few gears instead of travelling at top speed... And, it's nice!!!

Don't get me wrong, I LOVE being BUSY! But I actually have some brain power back, and can be present in my daily activities rather than feeling like a space cadet jumping from task to task at a million miles an hour!

Since my last comp (last weekend) I have been asked again several times, 'When are you competing again?'. The answer is the end of NEXT YEAR... maybe... I will be continue to push myself with my training - and again work on my strength for a while, and will continue to eat very clean. I am looking forward to learning alot more about my body and want to work on getting to a point that I am as close to 'comp condition' as possible, all year round! I am SO grateful the experiences of this first year of competing, and CANNOT WAIT for many more years ahead of it!

Right now one of my biggest focus's is one of my baby's!... Nope, not my little boy. My other baby - CALMA HEALTH... And all of my amazing Calma clients!

6 years ago when I was travelling around the world, the idea of Calma (play on words - Calm + Karma) Health came into my head... And since then it had only ever been just a DREAM. It wasn't until I had had my son Harrsison, and had more time to think about and implement the idea, did I actually believe it would happen. I honestly BELIEVE everything happens for a reason. And today I am lucky enough to say Calma Health is MORE than I ever thought it would be right now!

Two images from my bedroom...
DREAM is on my wall above my bed head.
BELIEVE is at the end of my bed, below my vision board.

Fully booked with One-on-One PT & Rehab clients, several Online Australia-wide clients, our 6-Week Your Best Body Yet Challenge launching this week & an AMAZING team of comp girls all ready kicking into gear for next year! Still have to pinch myself...

LOVING my LIFE and EVERYONE in it!

Last week I was spending a quiet afternoon with my best friend (before she moved interstate :-( ) and I was telling her how much I LOVE what I do! It made me really realised, how lucky I was to be doing what I love each and everyday! Everyday for the last 3 weeks (that is no exaggeration) I have either woken up to a text message or email from a client letting me know how sore (but happy) they were from a session, how excited they are for their upcoming session, how keen they were to get started or start back up, or how thankful they were for their new program/plan...
Helping my clients achieve their GOALS, be the BEST they can be, regain their ABILITIES, reignite their LOVE for LIFE... Yeah, I am sometimes a little busy... But I am busy living a life I love, helping others do the same!

This is a photo I put up on Calma Health's FB page this morning... And it is what prompted me to reflect today and count my blessings. Something I think everyone needs to take the time to do every once in a while...

What have you done on the LOVING LIFE to-do list, today???

Time to Reflect

One of my favourite things to do is sit at an airport with a coffee and people-watch... Waiting for my flight to Melbourne for the INBA Nationals this Sunday, and I am doing just that... Be it a long black coffee, and not a Mocha... But it is SO nice to actually STOP, SIT & REFLECT on the past few months...

A whirlwind would be an understatement... After my last Fitness Comp in June, I openly blogged about not competing again until next year... Well, after a few weeks off, I was lucky enough to be approached by Federation Health/Reflex Nutrition and was offered sponsorship... Which, I guess ultimately changed my thoughts on competing again sooner! A BIG BIG thank you to Dean Jones, and the Federation Health team! Looking forward to many many more opportunities, to represent Federation Health and Reflex!

So, yes, this prep has not been as long or 'precise' as last prep, and I did enjoy an AMAZING 3 week holiday overseas right in the middle of it (which, by the way, I wouldn't have changed for the world -as I had the best time with my beautiful girlfriends!)... But looking back on the past 8 weeks and I am overall pretty happy with how things have gone.

I have been asked over the past week, "How do you feel?" "Are you ready?"...
Honestly, I have felt tired for several weeks! But I don't think that is a reflection of my prep... I seem to have a knack for taking on many tasks at one time! So, with training, prep, looking after my little baby boy, Harry, and building my other baby - Calma Health.... I can certainly say my juggling skills have improved this time around!

As for being ready?!?! Um, I think I am as ready as I will be this time! And if I am hard on myself, I can say I am not as ready as I was in May/June.... But I have learnt so so much more about myself, my body, my training, my diet, this time around and am even MORE EXCITED than ever to go into next years comp with so much more knowledge!

In the recent weeks I guided 2 amazing women to compete for the first time! It was the most fulfilling feeling seeing all the hard work and dedication of your clients/friends come together. Seeing them shine up on stage, to me, was almost more rewarding then my own progress and competition.
The fitness/Facebook/lifetime friends I have made since starting in this sport are what I value the most!

I know this will sound 'cliche' but no matter what happens on the day, I will be happy!
I am one super proud mumma, one super proud business owner/coach, and super proud competitor!

I often wonder whether to share as much as I do, so openly on Facebook and through blogging, but it keeps me going, keeps me motivated, and on the not-so-positive days - keeps me pushing through to the next day... So I just want to say THANK YOU. To whoever you are reading this, and sharing my journey with me!

So many exciting things happening in the (VERY) near future.... Stay tuned for the next chapter!
