2005 has come to an end! Most people wait until now before making their new years resolutions. Why wait? You decide your own future so therefore shouldn’t have to wait for anything in life. If you want something to happen then make it happen.
Goal setting has become a crucial part of my life and without them I feel I wouldn’t be as motivated to achieve as I am now. I have daily, weekly, short term and long term goals to keep me focused, driven, motivated and inspired. I simply want to be a better me, that’s all.
Rae gave thanks in her post today and I think this is something important as we don’t travel down the road of life alone. It takes a multitude of people to get us where we are today and they shouldn’t go without being recognised and appreciated. She is an incredibly positive person with a beautiful energy and in my opinion a great ambassador to figure competing.
Katie is my new found friend of whom I’ve only recently met. Together we’re embarking on an adventure where we will help one another prepare for next seasons figure competition. Competing has never looked so exciting!
My Husband, my pillar of strength. He certainly has taken on the good times and the bad times but at the end of the day continues to love me unconditionally. He is the worlds greatest husband!
My Mum has supported me throughout my year and who I’ve inspired to improve her own physical appearance. That’s the greatest reward in itself.
My Dad made it through another year and for that I am eternally grateful. Fingers crossed that in the new year another donor kidney will become available to ensure that he lives long enough to be a grandfather.
It’s the simple things in life that matter. Learn from your mistakes for they become your lessons. May you all have a happy and safe new year!
The festive season is a bitter sweet time of year for a figure competitor. Eating food of choice, drinking alcohol, not training, sleeping in, these are simple luxuries. Even though it’s just for one week to the average person this is considered normal behaviour. But it means so much more than that to me. I know I’ve earned this break but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t come at a cost, quite the contrary actually.
My car was booked in for a routine service today, when it was inspected I was informed that three out of four tyres were unroadworthy and that at the moment there’s a police blitz on vehicles. *eeeek* I’m about to head off at the end of the week to spend xmas and new year with my family so I’m left with no other alternative than to replace them. I have low profile tyres which are far from inexpensive to say the least but luckily I salary sacrifice my vehicle otherwise I’d be out of pocket $1,000 right about now. There’s always a silver lining in every situation, at least I know I’ve done everything within my power to ensure that myself and my family will be safe whilst travelling over the busiest time of year.
