Hey All!
Long time no hear from me!
I am packing up and heading off to London – the time is flying! Have had all sorts of delays with the NZ embassy and my visa, but it’s all sorted now and I leave in a few weeks. Has been a mission that’s for sure, but nice having some extra time with my friends and family 🙂
6 week challenge
Was a great success! A lot of you made some great progress and either came close or reached your goals. Thanks to all those who came along to the final wrap up!
We had a great time together and I really enjoyed celebrating with everyone!
I’m sure you all inspired and motivated each other with your stories 🙂

We had a great, relaxing final weigh in with healthy snacks and drinks and a chance to kick back and reflect on how far you have all come. Keep up your fantastic efforts – you are all stars! And I’d love to continue to hear how you are all doing.
‘Strengthen your mental muscle’ seminar
We had a full house for both seminars and a great time!
Thanks to everyone who came along and for the positive feedback following.
I hope you were inspired!
No excuses cardio blast 2
Thanks and WELL DONE to everyone who turned up on a cold, rainy Saturday morning and got HOT!
YOU ALL DID FABULOUS! Was really proud of you 🙂
Well done on your pain and effort!
Special mention to Nilesh Bhuthadia who got the best distance. Congrats!
Newsy Stuff – Training –
Guess What! I forgot to let you know that I finished my 1000km’s in a year goal. Seems like only a few months ago I set that goal!
I ended up getting a bit over 1,200 kms and it didn’t feel hard at all – maybe I need a heftier goal next time! It was quite an easy goal to complete. In one year, not a week went by without a run. I mostly ran 5 days each week so I’m stoked I set that ‘big picture’ goal cos it felt great to tick it off 🙂
I’ve been LOVING winter – especially training. It’s so nice to be able to push myself that bit harder to warm up rather than be bright red and sweaty after 5 minutes! The other day I didn’t warm up much and got home from my 8km run still with freezing cold hands! But I much prefer that as it makes me run faster 🙂
Feeling pretty strong in the weights too although there’s always room for more improvement!
Achievements –
80kg squat! Woohoo!!!
Food of the moment –
Easy protein dessert treat– Egg whites and protein powder whisked together with a tsp of desiccated coconut, microwaved til it’s big and fluffy – mmm! Not to be had too often!
Also quite into Low carb protein bars at the moment from Pt Chev Low carb shop – but have to watch I only have them occasionally as they can be too more-ish.
Drink of choice –
PVL Whey Gourmet Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein shakes – only $4 (have with water) at Club Physical, Margan Ave – yum!
Latest goals to keep me motivated each week…
25km a week running plus lots of X-trainer whenever I can. Doing mainly outdoor running
Lots of crunches – just cos they burn and make me feel hardcore lol
Yoga or body balance every week – such a nice end to the day! Must do!
Thanks so much to everyone for your kind words and well wishes about setting off on my big O.E 🙂
I’m really going to miss you and Les Mills, New Lynn – my second home!
I started as a member at that gym when I was 16, so it is quite bizarre moving on after all that time! But it just feels so right, and perfect timing to be taking off on my big life adventure 🙂
I plan to return with more knowledge, skills and experience to enrich the health and fitness industry with when I get back to NZ.
I have really enjoyed getting to know you all!
I will email from overseas with a travel blog once I set one up if you’re interested in staying in touch. Would love to hear from you, so please let me know how you are going 🙂
All the best with everything!
Keep striving, keep positive and of course keep going hard!
