The Reason For Helping Others!

The other day I received these messages from my new friend. Her words were so kind and supportive that it made me feel like I was on the right track and could really give this PT gig a solid go! Words can not describe how great it feels to help someone set their goals and actively work towards them! 

Meal Preparation Is The Key!

Meal prep this week was so quick but so yummy! Meal preparation is the first key to successfully sticking to a meal plan and ensures you get all the nutrients and protein you need each day. 

I whipped up a quick tuna slice,  this slice took only minutes to prepare and cook but it was delicious and made enough to last me over a week! I made this up as I went but heres the recipe so give it a go! 

Ingredients:
1.5 cans of canned tuna in spring water
1 cup skim milk
1 cup spelt grain or oats
3 eggs
1 cup of sweet corn
1 cup of peas
Half of a zucchini grated
Half of a carrot grated

Method:
1. Combine all the ingredients in a bowl
2. spread evenly in a baking tray
3. Put in the oven for 20 - 30 minutes on 180 degrees Celsius

Inspiration & Support

Throughout the challenge I started my job at the gym. Gaining this position not only helped me to stay focused but also gave me the opportunity to meet some amazing and knowledgeable people who inspired me and supported me throughout the challenge.

Lauren Christie is a Personal Trainer with a passion for training, living a healthy lifestyle and inspiring others to reach their goals. Words cannot explain how much she taught me about training and eating to lose weight in a healthy way. Check out her Facebook page for just a taster of what she has to offer! 

Although this was not where I thought is be this year, I wouldn't change a thing. Not only did i come leaps and bounds within myself, I had the privilege of meeting amazing people like Lauren. This girl kept me focused, taught me what she had to offer, and inspired me to reach my goals. Not only this, she also became one of my very best friends and that's invaluable in its self. 

The Start Is Near!

Its been almost three months since the end of the last Goodlife 12 Week Challenge and the start of the second round is almost here!

The first challenge was a huge stepping stone in my life and has helped me to shape the person I am today. My journey started in March when I heard about Goodlife's 12 Week Challenge. I lacked self confidence, was insecure and didn't love myself (and if you cant love yourself then who will love you?!). At the end of the first 12 Week Challenge I had fought mental and physical barriers and came out a completely different person, on the inside and out. I came second in my gym, lost 15kg and 67.5cm's, reached my goal of umpiring again, and fit into my old clothes again.

But why stop there?

As soon as the first challenge ended I knew I would be in again! This time my goals are different but will have the same outcome. I will transform my life once again!

It is amazing how much you can learn from being in a competition like this and talking to those around you. I now work in the gym and am motivated everyday to continually challenge myself. So from this week onwards join me and ill share everything I learn along the way and show you why if you really want to, you can change your life and be truly happy.
