jaime hughes

Over the past 12 months I have been incredibly fortunate to have witnessed many exciting transformations. SO many people have achieved positive health goals and the journey of Jaime, below, is no exception. Delighted with the way her story has unfolded - here, is Jaime.

Jaime Hughes 94cm gone, 15kg lighter and fitter than ever!
After seeing photos of myself from a night out with friends I realised I had really let myself go and needed to do something about it.
Being very active at school playing in football comps to years of a mining lifestyle and using the excuse “I work to many hours a day to come home and exercise” the weight slowly started piling on.

a dirty weekend

Interested in a different challenge and a road trip? - 5km run/walk/crawl with lots of muddy obstacles
If you would like to join us on the road to Emerald for a dirty weekend adventure then now's the time to put your hand up! Will place you in a team of similar fitness early in the new year once we have numbers for those who are after a 'team' but you can also create your own team or - enter individually if you want a challenge of your own!
We will organise a bus if there is enough interested parties that don't wish to drive - leaving late Saturday morning, camping overnight and returning Sunday afternoon after everyone has completed the event!
Pop your name down here to join in and receive updates, or email me at ann.parrott@optusnet.com.au
Let's get training! What a great new year goal to work towards for the early year :)

did you reach your goals?

How quickly the year has flown. Santa is ho ho ho’ing wherever we go and everyone is frantically shopping as Christmas and the New Year are upon us.
It’s already that time where we theoretically start setting a few fitness or health goals for 2013. But how did you do throughout 2012? Did you achieve what you set out to do at the years beginning? Are you smarter, fitter, healthier, stronger? Yes - then congratulations! If not, what stopped you? Fear? Laziness? Lack of motivation and determination?
Health and fitness are tomorrow problems - people notoriously put them off unless sickness knocks directly on their door with a wake up and they have to face consequences of unhealthy choices.
When it comes to exercise or eating healthily I hear endless excuses why someone can’t, that seem logical to that person as they explain. “Don’t have time, too busy.” Fear of something new. “I can’t do it.” Their reality is, being healthy just isn’t a top priority to them. But what could be more of more important than your health?

Absolutely sensational  session - huge thanks to Wendy for helping with the food and setup yesterday afternoon, to Jaime - our resident grinch, who smiled, a LOT! - for the pumpkin muffins (YUM!), to kerrin making us a delicious fruit platter, Nicola the champers - cheers, and EVERYONE for dressing the part and bringing such an energy and sense of fun that it created another great memorable session to our 2012 training!

the festive season

Christmas is just around the corner and we all now find ahead of us a party or three to attend! Life is scattered with plenty of opportunity to overeat - be merry, add in alcohol - and boom, you have over indulged, feel physically ill and mentally drained.

Over the festive season we have brunches, long lunches, late night binges and weekend parties, all fostering refined rubbish and alcohol. And, we feel we have a reason to justify indulging.

All this stuff plays havoc with your metabolism, not to mention your waist and butt! There goes all the hard work you have put in throughout the year to get yourself looking and feeling sensational!
