About Me

Melbourne, Victoria, Australia
Many little girls dream of becoming a dancer when young. I was one of them and did, as well as teaching in many areas of this art form. However I made the change to becoming a gym trainer and eventually a competitor in Figure. After being diagnosed with two interlinked "conditions" I pushed on to continue competing as sportsmodel, however wish to return to compete in figure. This blog is to show those who feel certain conditions in any area of their lives can be overcome to still reach their full potential and dreams.This blog is my journey to overcome obstacles and inspire others to do the same.

Seasons greetings


Greetings
just a quick update
i am going into hospital to have a deviated septum corrected. This will put me officially out of action at the gym for at least 2 weeks, then 4 more to get back to where I am now. I will be focussing on staying upright thru exercises during this time-so that my face dosnt get flushed with blood and hence make my nose swell.
I will also stay off the creatine during this time-apart from the above reason-I wont be mainting the heavy lifting I do during the recovery period-think rhinoplasty and thats what it will be like.
I may also get my nose shape tweaked thru this time but mainly its due to correcting the d.s. I will not be at work for three weeks, and will lay low during the christmas period. Its a good time for me to sit back and reflect while others are doing the holiday thing. I have not told my peers, and this will lessen the pressure I would feel otherwise.
I will also be able to return to training during the day when the regulars are not there(that come at same time I do to the gym) as I wouldnt want them being too concerned with any swelling that may remain in the third-6th week recovery period.
I am very nervous and know ill miss my pole dancing and gym, but I need to think long term...this is what I have wanted for a long time and as I already have been thru a similar experience at age 16, nothing will come as a shock!
Then Ill be decising if I go to Sydney to the fitrose camp, its 400d but thats not inc the 500d id have to spend on accomodation and about 200 for flights(at least). It could be a very expensive journey...and I will have spent over 15k for this operation-yes 15000d.
Anyway I was told that I looked like I should compete this am at the gym and it really made my day to be able to have some notice the effort and results that come from hardcore focus eating and training...
I am unsure how ill go about my food plans especially as i have just started to fill out after comp again...but ill get there
must go now
love to you all thru this xmas period
see you in the new year
