2007 - Pride and Accomplishment

Quick check in

It's been awhile! Have been blogging elsewhere, but will just check in quickly here - everything is still full on - more so since I've started my comp prep. Now less than 12 weeks out, so the serious stuff has begun, meaning, cardio most days, and training 5 x week. Had an awesome day today, 2 x cardio, no training, heaps of energy after a great sleep.

In IBO news, we have 5 transformation stories coming out in the September Oxygen special, all wonderful success stories with some awesome after photos. Had a great little piece in Body and Soul yesterday and business has gone crazy!! It's all good.

Training has been great, working hard in the gym. Off to the All Female Classic next week with Jodie. We've arranged some spare time to do a spot of shopping on the Thursday and Friday. Also will need to fit our training and cardio in there too. Have an IBO get together in Camberwell on the Saturday morning - all welcome!

And a final closing comment - I think it’s the best compliment when someone feels the need to try and bring you down because of your success. :) Following on from that, here's something that may be of interest...

Embrace the responsibility

It is not anyone else's job to make you happy or fulfilled. What you choose to be is what matters.

When life is not going your way, there is nothing of value to be gained by looking for someone to blame. Instead, move beyond what has already happened and get busy exploring the positive possibilities available to you.

If you experience a disappointment or even a serious setback, that is no reason to give up hope. Though life is certainly not perfect, you are completely capable of moving forward no matter what may have happened before.

Happiness will come to you when it comes from you. Success will be yours when you choose to take responsibility for making it so.

Instead of obsessing over who might have hurt you or why or how, decide to get on with life. Instead of putting your energy into resentment, put that energy into creating meaningful greatness.

Your life is yours to live. Embrace the responsibility and all that goes with it, and your days will be filled with true richness.

  • Hi Sue,

    Since you and Jodie and going to do a spot of shopping whilst in Melb, I thought I would make mention that Lorna Jane has opened a Direct Factory outlet store on Spencer street DFO. Check it out, I got crops for $30 - BARGAIN! :)
