Here She Is!

I'm going to be a mother
It's Miss Isabella's Christening and my sister asked me, quite casually, if I'd like to be godmother. My response was "well I'd be offended if I wasn't!" hee heeMy brother came in with "I thought godmother's were supposed to be positive role models..."
No comment.
***************
Other stuff - struggling on all fronts to get my head in the game, and I don't like it. I've never been so unmotivated and uninspired in my whole entire life. I always train, it's like cleaning my teeth... I need to get my sh!t sorted - if anyone has some not-required mojo, please telepathically transfer it my way.
Struggling at work as well, usually beginning of the year I'm on fire. I do have some different stuff happening though - Monday is the start of a Community Health Challenge that I'm the trainer for - a group of high profile locals, including the mayor and the deputy-mayor are starting a six week challenge. Radio & newspaper are covering it, so fingers crossed I can help them get great results.
I had a new client today who has Spina Bifida. He's an elite athlete - plays wheelchair basketball for Australia in Juniors, such an inspiring kid.
Makes me realise I have nothing to complain about. His attitude is just amazing. I was really drawn to him.
**********
My bestie from the GC was here last weekend. Maybe that's why I'm feeling like poo this week, whenever she leaves me I feel so down.
I picked up my new beast too!! Must get some pics this weekend. Max is his name and he's HOT! I sadly have to part with my loyal, other best friend of 10 years - my lil red car. I feel like such a traitor - it's never done any wrong by me :( I hope the person who's bought it loves it aand looks after it as much as me :)
Is it sad to be so attached to a car???

I'll Struggle to Get To Seven!
1. I've worn coke-bottle glasses since I was 10, I got contacts at 15 and have worn them ever since. My sight is so poor, I've been told laser surgery may not help. Unfortunately those evil green eyes everyone comments on, are fake. My eyes are a grey/blue.
2. I wrote my first car off a year after buying it. Not cool as my lil bro was in the car with me. I bought a brand newie which I've had until now but - as I just 'remembered' as below - I bought a new car last week!
3. I told everyone I would be a nun when I grew up!! WTF????
4. I've only had 2 serious boyfriends - both were a long-term WASTE! Both ended with them cheating on me. Maybe fact 3 was a better option... :P
5. I used to work in legal accounting before becoming a PT.
6. Although some people think I'm confident and outgoing, deep-down I'm petrified of not fitting in and that people won't like me. Wish I was one of those people that didn't give a damn what others think! (ain't that one a bit deep :P )
7. I'm about to turn the big 3-0 and I still don't know what I really want from my life!!!!!!!!
And that's all I've got. Aren't I boring! :) If there's anyone left who hasn't done it and wants to - I tag YOU!
Oh and How Could I Forget??
Ok that looks like a broom, I mean a car... although many would disagree, a broom is not my preferred method of transport!
What a way to end an insane year!!
Will post pics as soon as the beast is in my hot little hands :)

Continued..... ;)
Went through major crap at work - ready to sell up. A trainer who had me in tears, a lot, quit the day I flew to Melbourne for the All Females... just what I needed.
11th July - All Females in Melbourne!! Was well looked after by Kerryn - can never thank her enough for her hospitality, and hot water bottles (hey, I was FREEZING!!). Met for the first time Katie, Rae, Jeh, Jadey, Linda, Kate and hope I didn't forget anyone.... Had a ball on stage with Shannon and was very fortunate to come home with 3rd place in Intermediate. One of the few bloggity blogs on it is here.
22nd July - flew to Brisvegas for surgery. Kept this one a big (pun intended) secret!
Couldn't work as a PT anymore - 'retired' from my position.
August
Couldn't work, couldn't train, only thing I could do was eat. 5 kgs in 3 weeks ain't too bad hey? Although I knew 50-51kgs ain't FAT, try telling my image in the mirror that at the time.
Struggled with not working and no longer having set hours.
Got extremely lonely living by myself and with my mental state at the time went on a downward spiral of depression..........
Started partying heaps. Coz alcohol solves all your worries of course....
Bestie from GC came and visited for my 'house-warming' party!
September
Went on an overnighter with my mummy again to Brisvegas. :)
Finally clawed myself out of my crappiness. I met someone very very special who doesn't know but got me back on track. My bestie from here, just last week said her and my other friend were really worried... they felt like they didn't know me anymore; who was this new person. She said once I met him I was ME again. Wowsers. I didn't realise they thought/saw those things...
After recovery from surgery, got back into training and was ME again in that regard too!!
Some of my pics from my photo shoot with Dallas Olsen were used in Ultra Fit mag!
October
Hosted the most fun party for my clients at a swish bar/restaurant. Over 100 came through! WOOP! Was soooo much fun :)
Got my wisdom teeth taken out. Another few days off work. What a sucky operation... considering I'd never been under until this year, I'm an old hand now. :P
Went off to Melbourne for five nights. Had the best.time.ever. EVER!!!!!!! EVER!!!!!
Thought I better do about a week of work before taking off again... to Brisvegas to do din-dins and drinkies with Lyndsay, Shannon, Shelley, Jadey, Fern and Jeh. Then I went up to Noosa for 2 days before back to Brisbane and flying home.
BIG EXPENSIVE MONTH!! Surgery hits the pocket hard :P
November
Just as I was flying home from Brisbane, my bro-in-law called to say my sis was in early labour. Our little princess finally joined us on the 5th November!!

Got back into hardcore, make-me-spew run training. LOVE IT!!!
Bit more personal and work crap made me go MIA for a bit. Love my friends.xx
Went to Brisbane and GC for a night each for a friend's wedding!
December
Having missed training clients, went hardcore at work with new ideas. Oops... got a bit too excited...
Lots of Christmas catch-ups - I LOVE IT!!!
Fell more and more in love with my little girl :)
Got back in my good, happy, place!!!!!! Again. Can't keep me down :P
Had the bestest Christmas and New Year ever!!!!!!!!!!!!
(Acutally didn't fly anywhere in December. Wow).
So that's my big 2009 in a nutshell. Holy crap. It was huge. Well... I always stick to what I say I'll do, and that was to live life to the fullest.
Amount of money saved in 2009 - ZERO!
Memories and experiences from 2009 - PRICELESS!!!!!!!!!!!
I do not regret ONE thing!
Here's to 2010, I won't say bigger and better coz crap, I can't afford myself anymore!!!
:)))))

2009 - The HUGEST Year Of My LIFE!
My goal for 2009 (as I just saw I blogged in December 2008) was to simply live each day like it's your last. This came after my friend Laura was killed in training ride one Saturday morning - you just never know when your last run/ride/drive could be your last.
I think I did that in 2009!
January
5th January I went back to work like any other day. Until I got a phone call. Rushed home to my bf of the time's house... only to walk out single. THE break-up - anyone who followed me back then knows alllll about it - every single detail was blogged, this was my diary. My boyf of 4 years had been doing the dirty on me for almost a year and I had no idea. Men can be damn good liars. It was the end of my life as I knew it...
Took off to my bestie on the Gold Coast for 10 days.
Back to work for a week.
Back to the GC for four days over the Australia Day weekend. (I'm very lucky my business doesn't need me to be there to function!)

February
Sick of moping, I MADE myself snap out of it - I lost so much weight. I had to set some goals - some HUGE goals. Contacted Liz who was coaching me already and asked she if she thought I could still step on stage (she planted the seed the year before and I said a big fat NO). Plan set in place.
Went to Bali for 11 nights with three awesome gals. Created new happy memories with special people - felt mentally fine about THE break-up, all of 6 weeks later :)


March
Threw myself into training and everything revolved around comp in May.
Had my 20th birthday - 2 of the gals I went to Bali with flew up and partied with me. (Ok, maybe I mean my 29th birthday) Cyclone came, so most people desserted my party, lost power at the place we were at, but had an awesome night all the same!
Got my 8th piercing - on the last day of being 28, which was 8 weeks after THE break-up.
Had an quick two nighter trip to Brisvegas to visit specialists.
Got a recurring kidney infection - NOT from drinking! LOL! (well I don't think anyway ;) ) Two rounds of anti-biotics and I was normal again.
Became reacquainted with a Primary School friend after years of lost contact. Spent a lot of time together last year :)
April
Totally busy with all things comp and work. Lost a staff-member, gained another.
Filex in Sydney - met Shannon, Casey, Fern and Vicki :) Caught up with Liz again and my-partner-in-wagging-crime - Kerryn.
The week after flew to Brisvegas with my mummy for some time with Jo Rogers. Bless her!
May
Long weekend - went on a road-trip to Townsville for a music festival. My 2 friends from the GC flew up to me here then we drove. So much fun going away 2 weeks out from comp. I didn't eat one thing I shouldn't have - cold chook and beans (limited facilities) was delicious as I watched them eat their nachos at a mexican restuarant.
My sister and bro-in-law announced their FINALLY pregnant! After 3 years of trying and fertility drugs, it happened!
17th May - INBA Brisbane Natural Physique Titles - 4th place novice division. I blogged about it here and here any many more times after... ;)
Photo shoot with Dallas Olsen the day after. I'm sure you've all seen enough of those pics!! ;)
Decided against competing at the ANB comp two weeks later, instead deciding to go to Melbourne in July for the All Females.
MOVED INTO MY UNIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
June
Went to Brisbane for a weekend to see PINK!
Pushed on with comp prep for July....
And I'm over blogging my year for now. That's the first six months, I'll be back, with the following six months - it only got bigger! ;)

What's Doing?

Friday the 13th!!!!!!!!!!!
So excited - I'm going to a Christmas Party (yes already!) tonight. A business I do Corporate Training for has invited us - I sooooo can't wait!! (has nothing to do with all the alcohol and food they're putting on. Hey, I'm not in uniform tonight!).
Theme is - Friday 13th. Duh! The staff will all be doing (made to do may I add)Michael Jackson's "Thriller" dance - I sooo can't wait to see it!
My two staff and I are dressing nice and easy as devils. More halloween than Friday 13th, but... meh. I've done the devil dress-up many times! Shall I be a naughty or nice-ish one?
Leather pants, here I come! *evil giggle*

The Runner in me is BAAACK!!
I've gotten back into it the last few months, slowly. No plan, just took myself for a run. I've done two un-planned and winged-at-the-time speed sessions, but nothing to rave about. It's so disheartening being SO unfit (having so much time off with 2x surgeries); when a simple 5km hurts. But, gotta start somewhere again!
Been loving it the last few weeks, feeling the improvements and loving running in Brisbane and Noosa - I need the variety to keep chugging along.
Yesterday I braved it and did a speed session with some of the road runners. Was good to catch up - they were very intrigued as to what 'body-building' I did. Four were really fast boys, and 2 around my pace or slower. From having done hardly nothing to attempting this was silly really. BUT - sucker for punishment I am.
We did 4 x 500m efforts with a jog back to the start as recovery.
I recorded:
1:51
2:03 (yeees, second one shows I took off a little tooo excited for the first one!)
2:06
1:57.
I was chuffed (and stuffed) with those times - how exciting! :)))
Finished off with a 1km smash and I somehow managed to pull out of nowhere a:
4:16.
Oh.My.God. My fastest ever 1km was 4:13, which was within a 3km time trial 18months ago and after months of sprint training.
Where on earth did I pull that from. Maybe being a sloth for so long is a good thing?!
Loved the feeling of the burning in the gutz (will I see that banana again?), loved the feeling of the deadness in the legs like wearing concrete boots, loved the pain. LOVED IT! And don't my legs feel it today.
Pain oh how I have missed you! I'M BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My Little Girl...

DOWN, DOWN and HOME.
Spent Saturday afternoon with Lyndsay and her kiddies after I flew in, before we got ready for din-dins. My friend from home (my new bestest friend whom I did everything with) came out with us - she's deserted me and left me alone here to live in Brisbane about a month ago :( BUT it was great to see her and for her to meet....................
Jehanne
Jadey
Ferny
Shelley
Shannon &
Lyndsay!!!
These girls alll look SOOO good, healthy and happy - made me realise how hard we are all on ourselves; I've found my happy place, I hope everyone else struggling does too. It's so much better to be at peace with yourself than continually fighting. xx
Had a great meal and ever better vinos at Meccah Bah before continuing on to other nice lil places. Was home by 1pm-ish, so behaved myself ;)
MovieWorld was canned on Sunday due to the weather, but I took the trip down to the GC anyway to spend a few hours with my bestest friend down there. It was sooooo good - we had SO much to catch up on ;) Finished the day with a walk/run with my cousin thru Brisvegas - noice!
Monday - up early for a run, then I took the Shuttle up to Noosa to spend time with someone very special :))) I LOVE NOOSA!! I'm soooo moving to the Sunny Coast! We got up on Tuesday morning for a glorious run through the National Park - I loved it soooo much! Then jumped in the ocean for a swim - my new girls had their first ever day out in bikinis!!!!!!!!! YAY!! Was awesome! Mark my words - I made a pact on the beach this day that I would do the Noosa Tri next year........................ let's see how that one goes!!!!!!!!
We made our way back to Brisvegas over a few hours, checking out the coast, stopping at Mooloolaba for a looksy. Just LOVED the coast. I think I've found my new home. We were party poopers and missed some big horse race, as we were driving ;)
Got to Brisbane and went for a walkie, din-dins and early night as someone (not me) had to get up at 4.30am Wednesday to run up Mt Cootha! We parted ways a few hours later and I hooked up with Miss Jeh, Lyndsday and Shannon for lunch/coffee - was great to see them again :)
Not long after Jeh left us, I had a call from my bro-in-law - my sis was in early labour!!!!! I told her to wait till I was home - I was flying home that night. ;)
5.58am on Thursday morning my little niece - Isabella Chloe was born! I'm in love with her!!
There has been just soooo much excitement this week. I'm all over the place. Highs and lows (a good friend had bad news), stresses and excitements!
BUT...............
LIFE IS GOOOOOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)))))))))))))))))

UP, UP AND AWAAAAY!!
Cannot WAIT!!!!!!!!!!! I'm flying off tomorrow and Miss Lyndsay will be picking me up and we'll have a huge catch-up before getting ready for dinner and drinkies with the girls! Can't wait to have a proper chat to everyone, not backstage at a comp! I will behave (to the best of my ability) as we're hitting Movie World on Sunday, I'd rather not be seedy for that! ;)
On Monday I'm heading up to Noosa to spend Monday and Tuesday with a friend - so cannot wait for that as I've never been to the Sunny Coast! Bit slack for a QLD'er - it's closer than the Goldie, but I'm always down there!
Wednesday I have a full day in Brisbane before I take the last flight home. I have no plans so far, so I'm happy to wing it, or catch up with anyone if you're free!! Apart from a shopping list with 2 items, my credit card must stay away from the shops!! Did way to much of that in Melbourne.
I'm SO SO SO SO excited about this trip - I seriously LOVE MY LIFE right now! I haven't been doing a lot of blogging or inter-netting, because, finally, I'm LIVING again! I used to sit at home and just waste time on the puter - we all know how much time flies doing that - now I'm having so.much.fun!! I'm never home. :)))
Take me back a year and I thought I was happy - HELL NO! Unfortunately I was happy to settle with where I was... thinking that was the best I could have. NEVER EVER EVER settle!! Ok, and so as to not get preachy, I might sign off now. :P
See some of you tomorrow night!!!!!!!!!!!!! With your party shoes on!
WOOOOP!

BOO again!
I just got home on Monday from a whirly-wind 5 days in Melbourne - total last minute trip planned quite quickly - flew out last Wednesday lunch and had the most fun, crazy, insane time! Oh how I love life!
Lots of food, lots of drink, lots of shopping and lots of laughs. Couldn't have had a better trip!
How effing cold was it though?!?! Jumped on the plane from 30degrees to having to go straight out and buy boots (strappys won't do it in that weather), two jackets (which I wore BOTH of, every day), and an extra pair of jeans. I was wearing five layers each day, along with my scarf. I'm such a cold-frog, but it's OCTOBER Melbourne.... catch up huh! ;) Looked a great sight flying back home to 30degrees wearing all of the above.............
My suitcase was lucky to only come home 2kgs heavier - I did SO much shopping. If I ever complain again of having nothing to wear, I'm allowed to be smacked. Damn shame there's not alot of a life here for me to dress up for.................
(So next Saturday I'm off to Brisbane for 5 days, but that's another blog. I'm SO naughty!)
Unfortunately I also came home 2kgs heavier... yup! That's just how much fun I had!!
So not alot of work (or training) has been happening in my world - between having my teeth stolen then jetsetting off, I'm living the life baby.
Now I just need to earn some dosh to keep up with my extravagant lifestlye.......... I can't afford myself! :P LoL.
Friday, October 09, 2009
Yup, It's ME!
Hey Selina- is that your pic in the latest Ultra magazine?? I've checked out your earlier pics and it does look like you!
So I'm not the quickest at responding, but yes, it is me! A few shots from the photoshoot I did with Dallas Olsen in May are used for an article on pages 62 and 64.

My mum and sister were so excited and told EVERYONE - they are so cute :) And to think it's not even an article on me, it's just my pics to supplement an article!!!
********
And a huge congratulations and well done to the gorgeous Miss Jadey for your starring role in the latest Oxygen mag! You look HOT HOT HOT- and well deserved girl!
And also to the other hot chickies who're inside, how cool is it hey!!! I'll be demanding some autographs when I see you all next!! ;)
