Hey Peep's!!
It has been such a long time since my last blog and so much has been happening. It has been a crazy fun time.
Of course since my comp, I have been living it up, and having some fun with my gorgeous friends and my amazing partner. Life has become like an exciting roller coaster, I wake up each day and have NO idea what opportunities or exciting adventures are going to occur!
First up on my exciting news, I have been asked my Max's protein to be an endorsed athlete for their female range of supplements called " Maxine's", due out this spring. I have been to meet with the Max's team, and it is all looking very promising. This will give me loads of opportunity to get more exposure and get my name out there. I am very honoured and will be very proud to endorse this awesome range of supplements. This has been a dream of mine since I started on my journey, so as you can imagine, I am stoked and cant wait to get started!
Secondly my spray tanner and beauty specialist, Amanda, has offered her services as well.. We are going to help each other, I am like a walking advertisement for her anyway. She really does do the BEST spray tans.. make sure you check out her website www.queenofsassy.com.au
And....The absolute pinnacle of my career to date is making the front cover of Oxygen magazine! I am on ther cover of the August issue! It really is the most amazing feeling to see your name and face on the front of a women's health magazine. I still have to pinch myself when I see it. It just goes to show that when you want something bad enough, it happens. I am in complete flow at the moment. I feel as though I am floating on a cloud and living the dream! I love that I can get my story out to the whole of Australia and New Zealand. The fact that other women can read what I say and use it to motivate and inspire them, is a feeling I cant explain. The exciting thing is this is only the start.!!
One HUGE thing that has made this past month an even more life changing time, is the love and support I have received from my partner Sterling! He has been there beside me 100% of the way. I am so in love and happier than I have ever been. We are both very excited for the adventure that we are about to embark on together. It is like everything has just clicked into place. I tell ya though, it was a bumpy road. The course of true love never runs easy. But I am a firm believer that if you make it through the tough times, you grow as not only individuals, but as a couple. From there you flourish and the love can only get stronger.
So where to now.. Well I am on the countdown til I hit NZ. I am 8 weeks out til the NZ nationals, and 9 weeks out til the Australian titles. So this week, I am back into it. It has been pretty hard to get my head back into it to be honest.. It always is, but once you get the ball rolling, it is all systems go. I have been back in the gym this week, training heavy with Sterling, he is a Trainer as well, so it has been so cool for us to be able to train together, and share the experience! It really helps when your partner has the same mindset as you.
The next 8 weeks are going to be full on.. I know there will be times when I feel its too much and I want to stop, but I will know I will push through, not only cos I love it, but because I have a job to do. I promised myself that this was going to be the year to smash out these comps and really get a name for myself. This is my last chance at building what I have worked so hard for and going out on TOP!!
I am in the process of designing my own website and getting my logo and new business cards done up..Very excited :) So watch this space, there is so much more to come..
I hope that through my words, you can find a part in yourself that wants to go out there and achieve something you never thought possible. The key is to believe in yourself first and foremost. Self belief is HUGE!!
Please feel free to email me, or facebook me if you need an extra push or some motivational words.
I am here for you!!!
Train hard, keep the motivation alive. And most importantly SMILE and enjoy the journey!!

When you believe in yourself, it sucks when others aren't supportive of you. It really starts weighing you down. I'm working hard so I can compete in my first figure competition, and there are people who don't understand what I'm doing or why. You obviously have the strength to achieve so much and get you to where you are today, and to me that is inspirational. Have you ever had people who try to discourage you early on? How did you handle it? If you want you can check my blog out @ http://www.fitnessanxiety.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteThere are always going to be people out there who try and discourage you! You need to stand strong and know that they are only acting that way because of their insecurities. You have to love yourself 1st, 2nd and 3rd. Know that what your are doing is for you, and only you!! Surround yourself with people who support you and who believe in you! Stand above those people who choose to sit back and criticize. Leave them behind :)
