The Rotary Ramble!

A couple of weekends ago a bunch of the Goodlife team gathered in Perth city to participate in the Rotary Ramble for Telethon. It was a great way to rediscover the city I live in while burning a few calories! 

Changing my path!

If you asked me a year ago where I would be I would never have guessed that I would have made such a massive change to my lifestyle and goals. I am now in week two of my AIPT personal training course and on the way to being a qualified personal trainer. It's scary and nerve racking but it's exciting at the same time. I can't wait to be able to use my experiences and everything I have learned over the past year to help others reach their goals!

Yummy Snacks

This is a quick snack I grabbed on the run. Three bean salad from IGA deli section and a can of tuna with an apple to finish. Quick, yummy, and healthy!

Focus.

This is just one of the ways I keep myself focused. Planning out each day of the week and putting it in writing makes it a permanent goal and helps to keep me on track!

Let's Lift!

Here is a shot of me using the bench press. My strength can only get better from here on in!

The Half Way Mark!

Progress photos are the best way to see just how far you have come! This challenge has definitely taught me that the scales are just a number. The first picture is me in the first way in, week one. The middle picture is me after injury number one and at the six week weigh in. I had only lost a kilo at this point but my measurements show a lot of change. The third picture is me in week nine, 2.5 kilos difference. When your weight training it's important to realise that you will build muscle and just because the scales don't drop doesn't mean that your not making progress so stick to your photos and measurements because change is change no matter the form. 

Reward Yourself.

Sometimes it can be hard to stay focused. Don't hesitate to recognise those milestones, no matter how small. One thousand small changes will still amount to a large change in the long run. This is some of the purchases I treated myself to at the half way mark to ensure that I stay on track.
