Already
six days in, I hope over the past week you have taken a moment to reflect and
realise what was so awesome about 2012 for you. Grab hold of the big and the
small victories, give yourself a big high five for all you achieved, and get
excited about what you set to achieve in 2013. There is no value celebrating
the new year with an old mindset, all you are going to get is the same result.
So give thought to what are you going to do differently this year to become
even healthier and fitter, in body and mind - drop excuses, shatter limiting
self beliefs and know that YOU have the ability to achieve whatever you want in
life.
For
myself, the reflection of 2012, where I started, where I ended, has been an
interesting journey. The highest of highs and low lows, like most. Life, I'm
sure, is designed to keep us on our toes :) A couple of personal
achievements which I am proud of. I will continue on into 2013 with new
personal and fitness goals to achieve, just like everyone else. And work hard
towards them.
2012, from a training point of view, was a big year - a year of growth for certain.
Now
at this year’s beginning, I am but an exam away from completing level 1 of my
metabolic nutrition course. A few of you will be aware that over the past 8
weeks a couple of 'brave' clients ;) became my guinea pigs and both achieved
fantastic results. With confidence now that it can be successful, I hope to
introduce and share more of that information with everyone this year that is
interested.
And,
I am about a quarter of the way (oh it seems like I've done SO much more ;) )
now through my Diploma of Fitness, which is exciting for me as it opens
up my ability to work with the 'morbidly obese' - a training area well and
truly beyond what our PT certification teaches us and an area I hope to
specialise in down the track. Plus of course, the extended teachings of other
areas of specialisation that become of benefit for everyone. 2013 - with some
real head down bum up hard work action during my free time, will see the
completion of that.
But,
my most important reflection from the year - what gets me out of bed in the
morning? The passion to work with some truly excellent people and help them see
something unique and special within themselves that creates positive change.
All of you, that I’ve had the pleasure of working with have been nothing short
of inspiring.
To
be part of someone’s life and help them work towards their metamorphosis is an
amazing privilege and without YOU all, it would not be possible. I learn so
much through all of you, both inside and outside of training times - the grunts
and the groans, complaints and dark moments, the laughs and the smiles, the
self proud aha moments, the achievements, the I can's, the conversations we
have, the sharing of your lives, the ups and downs and rollercoaster rides that
life places upon us all. Everyday is a big adventure into the road less
travelled of life.
I’m
forever grateful for your support, encouragement, trust, belief and patience
with me this year :) A big thank you for a great year, you all rock and I
appreciate the consistency and efforts put in towards your goals - oh I so
love, the work I do. As a trainer, I’ve only just warmed up! :D
Remember,
most people want instant change, whether weight related or any other sort of
goal - but unfortunately nothing - nothing works like that. All goals take
dedication, hard work, persistence, mixed with consistency... and a lot of
fortitude too, for no matter what we are reaching toward, there will be
manyatime it 'appear's as though nothing is 'changing', but things ALWAYS are.
Everything you do, counts. During 2013 I will always give absolutely everything
I have and ride the ups and downs that journey entails with anyone that comes
to me with that strong ethic. Wishy washy never gets any of us anywhere and my
focus will go to those that are ready to embrace the hard work it takes to get
results. Remember, others may quit, but you don't.
Now
onto the year ahead.
After
a relaxing 8 days away, I trained a handful of clients last week as I was
around and working reception but this week, everything, starts back - full
steam ahead for us all! :) even with a few still away and enjoying their
holidays. Can we be a LITTLE envious of them??! ;)
Personal
training sessions,
and I have contacted most of you, are back and in full swing come Tuesday.
Please let me know if you're home from holidays and we haven't set a time yet.
Weekend
Warriors
starts this Saturday 12th January - 6am. Prossy based but there will be
at least a couple of sessions from Cannonvale to get some beach and hill
training in. We will have a focus on getting 'mud run ready' for the Emerald
race in February but the training is bootcamp - so even if you're not doing the
race please know you can still join in each week for a 'perish or persist'
training session. Hopefully, depending on what the rain does (and Melissas dam
availability) we may even do another mud session beforehand out at brandy creek
for everyone to participate in if enough are interested - cos it was SO much
fun! Everyone is welcome of course to join in this outdoor fitness session, it
is NOT just for those entered into the race. :)
Indoor
Warriors
– Small group fitness - I have had a request again for Tuesdays, so I will put
it out there and if we get enough people it will go ahead. Thursday Warriors is
a definite go'er. Both will be 12noon.
So
they both start back, Proserpine Fitness Venue - Tuesday 15th January 12
noon and Thursday 17th January 12 noon.
And
- Sunday breakfasts, will go ahead. They will be held the first Sunday of
the month - except this month which is on the second Sunday ;)
First
Sunday breakfast session for this year is next Sunday, 13th January, 7am at
Fitness Venue in Prossy.
For
each of the above, please let me know if attending and which one/s (text
or reply email if you don't get an opportunity to see me) A few already have.
Where necessary I will be in contact with further information on each of them
to those participating.
Michelle
and I will hold a couple of 'Whitsunday Fitness Escape' weekends throughout
the year - Hamilton Island being a request again so when we get together we
will talk about dates and will then share the information. The biggest request
has been to hold another 'fitness day' where we had a training session, lunch,
a key speaker, and then another training session. The last one we had was
hugely successful, those who attended would agree, so we will also discuss some
dates and hold a couple of those throughout the year also - with different
'speakers' bringing us some great information.
Cheers
to a healthy, successful year ahead. Don't just wish for a wonderful 2013 -
make it so! Train consistently, eat nutritionally, dream big, believe and KNOW,
you can be and do anything you want to.
