This month’s Oxygen Magazine Page 21 has a photo and essay that I sent in on my training partner Tim Martin!! Check it out for yourselves ladies. *aheem*

That’s right……….the weekend just gone was my six months out mark. I don’t know why exactly but a switch in my mind just turned on and I’m now in full swing for competing this year. Nutrition challenges are a thing of the past! *yipee*

For the first time in a long time I don’t want to eat anything off-plan purely due to the fact that I can or it’s the weekend. Instead I’m going to continue eating clean until either I desire something or an occasion arises where I’d like to participate. Either way I’m fine with it, that’s the best part of this. I’m just so on top of things at the moment and it’s a truly great place to be in life. It doesn’t get much better then this people. )

Everybody has the same 24hrs in their day, with the right attitude and the right tools there’s simply no reason why things can not be achieved. And this is what I’ve done, I sat down at my desk and worked out what I needed to be done and what I wanted to be done on a daily basis. Then I broke my day down into blocks of time and scheduled everything according to priority.

There’s a lot to be said for these two words. This week I’ve implemented my new time management weekly roster at home to see if what has been put down on paper actually works in theory. So far so good……….the last three days have been a success. I couldn’t be happier with myself. *grinning like cheshire cat* At the end of my day I sit down at my desk and go over the daily roster to ensure that it all works, if it does then all well and good but if it doesn’t then I simply make the adjustments. By the end of this week I’ll have it all sorted out and up and running. Then I’ll print of a colour hard copy, laminate it and put it on my fridge door.

Life is so much better when it’s organised! I love it when a plan comes together. )

Thalgo Skin Care . . . . where would I be without it! You know when you’re asked in a questionnaire what would you take with you to a dessert island, well this is it for me. I couldn’t live without my skin care. It’s “food for my face”. I’ve been using these products for a number of years now and simply can’t say enough good things about them.
