25.01.2022 This is it, it may not be perfect, but that is the thing....it doesn't have to be. For so long, I have wanted to share my journey with you as I can only hope that sharing the struggles in my story and the lessons I learnt will help you fast track some of your hard stuff. But, unfortunately, procrastination is my middle name and fear seems to walk beside me. [ 353 more words ] https://sassysaysofficial.wordpress.com///first-blog-post/ #sassysays

24.01.2022 I was not designed well enough to crawl through tyres, I am 6ft tall, that is a lot of body to pull through a series of tyres.

23.01.2022 The last few years, since starting the journey to losing 50kg, every year I choose a goal, something that I want to achieve that I have never done before. When I was 50kg heavier, I had always wanted to do an obstacle course, but there was no way physically that I would be have been able to achieve it. I didn't have the fitness level and I was just too heavy to move my body all around a course. Once I had lost 50kg, I ropped 2 of my brothers into completing this goal with me.... I was so scared when the day arrived, I wanted to chicken out as I was so worried about what obstacles lay ahead. I didn't know if I would be able to do it and the unknown was freaking me out. But, I had signed myself and my brothers up for it and wasn't going to back out. I DID IT!!!! It was the most exhilarating experience and so much fun. It was also super bloody tough too. I lost so much skin attacking that course, crawling through tyres, under nets in the gritty sand, climbing over nets and up walls. But I did it with the support of my brothers and achieving that goal felt brilliantly amazing, I can't even put the feeling into words! So as 2018 draws to a close, I ask you, what goal did you set this year that scares you? Did you achieve it? There is still time! We have 23 days left in the year. The feeling of accomplishement you will have with yourself for achieving your goal is well worth facing the fear of starting something that is unknown, super scary and resting of your limits. JUST DO IT! My mind is turning to next year and what I will choose to conquer! Bring on 2019, live large or not at all.

21.01.2022 Loved listening to @dr_katherine's real talk about body shame, guilt and learning about being comfortable enough with who are are to take off the many masks we wear to reveal our most authentic self. . How peaceful would it be to not have to pretend anymore and to be vulnerable enough with everyone to not hide our secrets. . It is time to demask and just be you rather than creating and presenting a persona that we think people would like.... . Dr Katherine wore the most amazing shoes ever!!! . . . #wellnessatthequay #ecoluxeevents #selflove #selfcare #wellness #investinyourself #bodylove #nourishyoursoul #sassysays #buildingafuture See more

20.01.2022 An obstacle more about balance than effort, I liked this one as it was easy to manage with long legs

20.01.2022 I discovered podcasts this morning. Not in the way that I didn't know that they existed, but by actually trying to listen to one for once. I never have in the past as I am a visual learner rather than auditory, therefore I prefer reading books as I like digesting from words on the page. With auditory, my mind wanders a lot. Anyway, I digress. I finally decided to give it a go and I loved it. Did my mind wander....yes, of course! But that is what rewind is for . It is li...ke having a conversation with a best friend where you get to learn a lot and challenge your own thoughts and beliefs but you are by yourself. The podcast I listened to was by Samantha Skeller, Founder of Hungry for Happiness and I listened to a few this morning as a walked around Lake Monger....these ones were brilliant for me as they speak to my current journey. If you are a fellow woman (or man) out there struggling with body image and food abuse issues then hop onto this website and listen to some of these podcasts for some "ah ha" moments. Enjoy, I am off to get a coffee and hit the gym #sassysays https://hungryforhappiness.com/podcasts/ #verylateadopter #hungryforhappiness #learningtolivefreely #nomoreaddiction

19.01.2022 WEEK 3 So I have stopped counting down the days....that was a drag. There were still SO many left and it feels like I have been on the challenge for years yet I am only just coming up to the halfway mark. I am just going through the motions and sticking to the plan now. I feel too scared to deviate.... The hardest thing for me is the lack of socialising. The unexpected bonus is that I have realised I am saving money. This week, pay day arrived and I was surprised to find I still had a few hundred dollars cash in the bank, that like never happens to me! Money left over AND I had brought clothes and expensive protein powder . So there is an upside to this restrictive eating.... *No food wastage *Saving money by not drinking and eating out *Starting to fit into my clothes *Feeling happier and more confident Weighin this week was a good one, I lost a whopping 2.5kg. This was great news, especially after last weeks disappointing small drop in spite of following the program strictly. I HAVE NOW REACHED THE HALFWAY MARK. I think I am going to make it....I am on track to losing the 10kg, I just need to keep it up for 3 more weeks. The hardest part is getting started, the next hardest part is sticking to it, but if you do both of these things results will show up and please you P.S. I am writing this post as I travel by train from Verona to Naples #6weekchallenge #hiit45 #hiit45training #hiit45wembley #weightloss #transformation #healthybodymovement #healthymindhealthybody #fitgirl #girlswholift #macros #wanderlust #verona #naples #europe #travelbug #trainingwhiletravelling #sassysays

19.01.2022 I never realised just how big I looked (photo on the left) until I saw the difference in photos after losing weight. . The photo on the right is me in Europe this August 2018 compared with a photo from 2015. . I have learnt to love and honour myself at my largest size of 155kg.... Now my priority is to have a healthy and fit body that I treat with respect which is a reflection of how I feel on the inside #personaltransformation #patience #perseverance #before #weightloss #selflove #befree #internallove #europe #nevergiveup #funatanysize #personalgrowth #healthymind #healthybody #plussize #nevergiveup #startupseeker #sassysays

19.01.2022 Something I haven't shared with you yet is where my story started from. These photos are not the beginning, but they will give you some perspective of where I have come from. At my biggest I think I hit around 155kg. I am not exactly sure as I became too scared to weigh myself. I just couldn't handle seeing the numbers go up any more, it was devastating and I felt so out of control. I didn't know if I would ever be able to get the weight off, I had tried and failed so many ti...mes. There was an overwhelming amount of fat to loose and I knew for sure I had messed up the skin on my body forever with stretch marks which would be guaranteed to result in loose skin if I ever did loose the weight. I really felt in a loose / loose situation. One story that my best friend @startupseeker shared with me was the story about the Chinese farmer and his bamboo seeds. (https://www.douglaskibuchi.com//chinese-farmer-in--china-t) It really hit home and I still think about it regularly (copy url above to read). Even though I was so big and overweight (more than I ever realised), transformation was happening internally and I was slowly evolving from the inside out. I spent so many years exploring who I was, learning to accept and love myself from the inside and having fun regardless of my weight and size. I knew that only once I had achieved all of that would I be able to start changing my physical body. Life is to be lived at any weight, don't hide away. On Sassysays, I will share my journey to where I am today including the ups and downs and the #lessonslearnt resulting in #personalgrowth. My journey is not finished and I invite you stay and share that with me too. #personaltransformation #patience #perseverance #before #weightloss #selflove #befree #internallove #nevergiveup #funatanysize #personalgrowth #healthymind #healthybody #plussize #nevergiveup #startupseeker #sassysays

19.01.2022 Ok so this post will win no awards for great photography, but the message is more important. Last night, a Saturday night, I took myself to the movies, sans friends, just me, myself and I. I took it for granted that everyone did that, but I realised it isn't that common.... How many of you aren't comfortable enough doing something on your own? Do you worry about what people will think seeing you at the movies by yourself? That you are a loner and don't have friends? Do all those kids opinions, taunts and expectations from high school still subconsciously wash over you? Besides being trapped and operating out of a teenaged mentality, what reason do we have to worry about what other people think? Furthermore, why do we worry about what we think other people may think of us, does it really matter? They are just silent thoughts and you will never know what they are. So really you are just judging yourself and letting those thoughts shape your behaviour and ultimately the richness of your experience of life . Last night going to see a movie was the perfect activity for a rainy winter night and I loved it. Escaping into the movie set in Greece was so uplifting and nurturing. I didn't need anyone else there to validate my existence. A big part of "coming into your own" as a woman is loving and being proud of your independence and caring less about what other people think. I still remember my first solo movie date in my early twenties, it was such a liberating experience and milestone in my personal development that I can still remembering making the decision to go and see a movie by myself as if it was yesterday, not 20 years ago. Focus on what makes you happy and forget about other people's perceptions of you and your life, you will be amazed at how liberated you will feel! Oh and I went Premium Class at Belmont Cinemas, it is only $15 for a lounge recliner seat, pure bliss!!!!

16.01.2022 No way of trying to look good while squeezing through these tyres full of gritty sand.

16.01.2022 I know I am guilty of this, are you? How many times, when a door closes (*slams*) behind you, be it a job, relationship, friend or an opportunity, that you put your focus and energy on wondering... *why was I shut out? *what did I do wrong? ... *what is wrong with me? *how can I fix this? *how can I get back in? In that moment when you are standing in front of the closed door to your past, it is easier and more comforting to go back (if you could) regardless of the pain it may have caused you. When you put all your attention on what has just happened, you fail to look forward and see the doors that have opened in front of you. The future and the unknown is scary and creates fear as we feel we have no control, but it is also fresh, different, exciting and full of opportunity! Next time you find yourself standing in front of a closed door, take a moment, turn yourself around and make a conscious effort to look forward. Get excited about the change, embrace and nurture the opportunities you can create rather than dwell on a past that you cannot change. #embracechange #lookforward #liveinthemoment #closingdoors #opportunity #thefuture #excitement #change #dontlookback #personalgrowth #noregrets #youneverknowwhatisnext #walkforward #happiness #freedom #newexperiences #healthymind #healthybody #healthybodymovement #sassysays

15.01.2022 CONSISTENCY IS KEY I am into the 4th week of the challenge now and it has been a bit tough this week. Why? Because I want to party . But on a serious note, this week I have had quite a few social events on and because of the challenge I can't eat and drink with everyone else, I have to stay disciplined and focused.... Our crew got together for a Sunday session, it was freezing cold and raining and everyone was drinking mulled wine (I can drink soda water if everyone is having a wine or beer....but when mulled is out on the table and in that wintery weather...aaaarrrrgh - who is with me?!). To be honest with you, I did end up feeling quite shitty so after a couple of hours I decided to leave and go home to ensure I remain committed to my goals. We also had a morning tea at work. I had to have an while everyone else was eating yummy stuff and to top it off Our group of girls were throwing a baby shower lunch at a middle eastern restaurant (one of my fav types of food). But on reflection, what it showed me is that we always eat for the pleasure of it and much more than we need rather than to fuel our body and this is where weight problems come in. I am the first to raise my hand and admit that I am a massive culprit of this....we live in such a social food centric culture these days. In summary, I managed to only colour outside the lines (very slightly) a few times during the week, stuck to the program and was rewarded with a weightloss of 1.5kg (7.6kg in 4 weeks so far) I am an all or nothing person and struggle to find that balance with social eating in normal life. Do you struggle with consistency? What do you do to stay focused? Do you implement an 80/20 rule? Tell me your tips I just think we need to strengthen that muscle of saying NO and not feeling like we are missing out. 2 weeks to go P.S. sorry it has been a while between posts, I was busy exploring Europe #6weekchallenge #hiit45 #hiit45training #hiit45wembley #weightloss #transformation #healthybodymovement #nevergiveup #learntosayno #stayfocused #youcandoit #healthymindhealthybody #fitgirl #girlswholift #macros #wanderlust #europe #travelbug #sassysays

15.01.2022 Exercise and Education on the way to work. My bike still has a flat tyre (until my brother or I fix it - volunteers?) and I have been choosing to walk to the station everyday rather than driving. It means I have to get up earlier but I don't actually mind as I am loving the 25 minutes I have every morning and afternoon to listen to podcasts as I walk and spend time growing me. How do you use your time to benefit you?... A few months ago I chose to actively reduce the amount of time I spent on social media as I noticed it was making me feel quite discontent. I now use that time instead to educate myself through reading, videos, podcasts etc rather than wasting time aimlessly scrolling through information that serves no purpose to my life and often leaves me feeling worse. #ichooseme #sassysays #samanthaskelly #growingme

15.01.2022 We survived, not intact, we are all missing ALOT of skin and are covered in bruises but we certainly feel like winners. If you want to set yourself a physical and mental challenge then I urge you to truly out @operationxlr8 in Baldivis. They had a professional photographer, great support crews and it was the best bonding exercise I have ever done with my brothers.... Stay tuned, our next adventure is the flying fox obstable course in Dwellingyup @treesadventure. This will be a huge mental challenge for me as I am terrified of heights

15.01.2022 JUST 1MORE SLEEP till #FREEDOM and I cannot wait to escape onto a plane into the European summer. Coble steets, foreign languages, amazing old buildings, italian espresso bars, azure beaches and ultimately escaping this world and immersing myself in another for a few weeks. Do you travel alone? I absolutely love it. My first solo adventure was a personal right of passage that I knew I needed to take when I was 32. Since then, I have made up for lost time travelling any...where and everywhere. My fortnightly budget has a significant portion that goes towards travelling for each upcoming trip. Travelling is my ultimate happy place, exploring somewhere new, landing in a foreign country or city all by myself and having to work it out gives me such a buzz. I live for the freedom, the experiences and the memories. What do you do to get to your happy place? If you have ever thought about travelling alone but something is holding you back, message me. Soon, I will share more of my travel stories and the personal growth from my first solo trip back in 2011. People that say they want to travel but go anywhere, don't, simply because it just isn't important enough. If you really want to do something you will make the time and find the money.

15.01.2022 My brother and I regularly tag team in and out of the country...as one flies in the other flies out...years ago, we were struck down by the travel bug and never got rid of it. And again, my brother flew in from site on Wednesday I fly to Europe today, so a sneaky early morning breakfast date was in order Thursday morning, to ensure it wasn't months between catchups . . .... . #highflyers #travellers #familylove #brother #sister #wanderlust #travelbug #emmosaurus #breakfast #wingingit #sassysays See more

14.01.2022 JUST DO IT Nike were onto something when they (or their brand agency) came up with that infamous tagline. I used to always have exercise on my "to do" list, a chore that had to get done, this was especially the case on the weekend. I can guarantee you, it was always the one thing I didn't get done.... Now it has become a normal part of my day and I no longer have it as a line item to tick off my list (in a future post I will share with you how I changed my mind set). On week days I fit my gym time in at lunch time. If I know I have lunch time meetings I will do a 6am class as after work I can't guarantee I will get out in time nor have the mental capacity to want to exercise and push myself (after work I just like to escape the city and retreat to peacefulness at home). On weekends if I faff around and put off going to the gym or a class first thing in the morning, there is a high chance that it won't happen as the day will get in the way and social plans will come up. This picture was taken the morning of my flight to Europe. Work was hectic, I was tired and had a lot on but I knew it would be a few days before I could get in another decent workout. So rather than just making excuses as to why I couldn't go (and there were a lot of feasible ones) I just set the alarm, got up early and I DID IT . A 6am @HIIT45 class rewarded with a yummy @ingredienttree coffee after. I felt so much better for it and made hopping on my flight that evening for my Euro adventure, that much more rewarding. Procrastinating wastes time, energy and mental capacity. If you make a commit to yourself, honour it and get the workout done. You will feel better physically from completing the workout mentally happier because of the endorphins released mentally free as you won't have to anguish over still having the get the workout done.

12.01.2022 The feeling of accomplishment can only be felt not explained

10.01.2022 STARTING THE CHALLENGE The challenge kicked off 18.06.2018. For 6 weeks, no chocolate, soy coffees, sugar and goodbye to my avocado breakfast that I have been habitually eating for about 3 years straight. I had committed to losing 10kg and I had put my money ($600) where my mouth is (literally). If I succeed, I get the money back. Incentive much! Black coffee..yuck...but that is my life for the next 6 weeks. I was dreading the changeover in food, expecting to be starving an...d to have nothing enjoyable to eat....being a real foodie...how ever will I survive? I never expected to wake up with headaches every day, my head felt cloudy and heavy, gym workouts felt so hard (like I was pulling from a different energy system) and my skin broke out. But I persevered, I drank black coffee, no soy coffees, no avo, I stuck with the foods and the portion sizes on the list and surprisingly, I was still functioning. I wasn't starving, quite the opposite actually and I was spending less time having internal arguements with myself about what I should or shouldn't eat. I had a list and there was no room for compromise. A quieter mind with less internal battles was an outcome I never expected. End of week 1 resulted in a #2.5kg weightloss. The hardest thing was in my mind set. I expected to be 10kg lighter instantaneously just from making a few right choices, bit it takes time. I had to put up with feeling big without the emotional crutch of food to compensate my lacklustre feelings. Oh well, no point dwelling on it, I still have 5 weeks to go and as I have put money on the line to do this, I have no choice but to follow through. I will just rejoice in my 2.5kg weight loss and focus on next week #45daystogo #hiit45training #6weekchallenge #weightloss #transformation #foodaddiction #foodbattles #mentalfreedom #fitbody #commit #achieve #sassysays

10.01.2022 And my other brother! The obstacle course was brutal

09.01.2022 I am on my last week of a 6 week challenge that I signed up to with my gym HIIT45 in Wembley. It is something that I have never really done before and I have certainly never followed through, but this time I have and I want to share with you a few things I have learnt along the way. This challenge has a sign up fee of $600 with the incentive that if you hit your goal by the end of the 6 weeks you get your money back.... At the time, I had just under 7 weeks till I left for Europe and 10kg that needed to go so that I could fit into my summer clothes (which I didn't at all). Due to emotional and work stress I had put on about 14kg gradually over the last 1.5 years and I was getting more and more depressed about it and putting on more weight as a consequence. So I put my money on the line and signed up to this 6 week challenge and a really strict eating plan. The goal was 10kg in 6 weeks = feeling great and $600 back in my pocket (which I need for Europe). About me: I am VERY food centric, so signing up to a plan that cuts out all chocolate, sugar my avocado breakfast and my soy long machs felt like cutting off my legs. I was fretting big time. But my decision to commit in the end was driven by: 1. I am tired of obsessing about food. 2. I needed to get weight off and fast. 3. I was more likely to commit and follow through with money on the line (I never really realised how motivated I was by money). 4. It is only 6 weeks of my life. So after mulling the risk over a soy long mach of putting up $600 that required me to commit to getting the money back. I bit the bullet, went back to the gym and signed onto the challenge a few hours later. Let me tell you, the eating plan is strict!!!!! The list of foods is small and the timings non negoatiable Protein, carbs and veggies for breakfast and lunch and protein fats and veggies for dinner, with protein options for snack only. There are only certain foods within these groups that you can eat also but it is designed to be effective ( visit @hiit45training ). So that is the background. I will share over the next few weeks what I have learnt and my progress. #sassysays #hiit45 #6weekchallenege #foodaddict #youcandoit

09.01.2022 Does anyone else write messages to themselves on their mirrors? When ever I have a goal to achieve, I will write it across my bathroom mirror as repetition is key and I consciously read it and sub conciously process my commitment every time I am in the bathroom. I wrote this one as I am nearing the end of my @HIIT45training challenge and need to ensure I stay focused, disciplined and accountable for the last 8 days (and counting down).... I loved it that while I was at work, my housemate added her own words of enouragement underneath mine #6weekchallenge #mirrorquotes #hiit45training #determined #focused #10kg #6weeks #transformation #fitbody #eurobody #youcandothis #summerbodiesmadeinwinter

08.01.2022 Why do some people achieve so much and others less? The point of difference is their MINDSET! The people who achieve their goals have self doubt but do it anyway. They believe they can achieve it and keep pushing and trying until they do, then they keep on going and aim higher and higher... Personally, I REALLY struggle with this, I constantly flit between mindsets. Some days I back myself 100% and feel no fear, only that I can achieve. Other days I am filled with fear, self doubt and a failure mindset. I am conciously trying to keep my mindset in the believe lane. I have seen that when I do really believe in myself, that I can kick massive goals. The way I have changed my health and life around is a testament to that. I know I am the only person that can stop me from achieving anything and everything that I want. How often do you dream of something that you want then shoot it down in flames before you have even started? The only person you are damaging by doing this is you! YOU are limiting YOUR life experience. Self doubt is extremely debilitating. I am not saying the answer is that it will magically go away, but you do need to learn to MANAGE it. When that moment arrives like a tid wave, see it, acknowledge it then reconfirm what you really want and take a step forward in that direction. DON'T accept it, get frozen in fear, turn and run the other way to hide. You will actively and consciously have to work through it, but you CAN do it. This pic was taken in Tasmania last year at the top of Mount Wellington. It was amazing being above the clouds! I felt so positive, alive, happy and full of hope. I spent the weekend travelling around Hobart by myself. I hired a car and drove everywhere and felt so liberated and free. Step in the direction of your dreams, you will feel happiness and excitement. #bringon2019 #bigchangesahead #believe #powerful #transformation #mindset #thinkpositive #dreambig #onpurpose #shootforthestars #youcandoit #solotraveller #wanderlust #sassysays

08.01.2022 Obstable course spam!

07.01.2022 Honour your commitment to yourself . When you set a goal, you make an agreement with yourself to implement and take the neccessary steps in order to achieve that goal. . Hitting the goal is amazing but only achievable by the ongoing minute by minute, hour by hour and day by day commitment to the process. The commitment and constant choices you make in alignment with your goal is what ensures you reach it. This is the tough part and where the mental hard work comes in, the c...onstant internal battles that you need to fight to make the right choices to ensure you hit your target. . You walk a mile by committing to and completing each step and not giving up. So don't give up on yourself, you know you can do it as you have come this far....as they say, when the going gets tough, the tough get going. . It is so important when you choose a goal that you follow through and achieve it in order to validate your self worth by proving to yourself your ability to commit and follow through. The self gratification that the accomplishment will deliver is far greater than the actual achievement of the goal and number on the scales. . I am in week 5 of my challenge and I now know what to do, I know that the process works. Now it is about honouring my commitment, being consistent and doing everything in order to ensure I achieve the goal of losing 10kgs in 6 weeks. . Do I want to give up, sure! Do I fret if I will make it, yep! Do I want to put down the reigns and socialise, absolutely! . But achieving the goal is greater than all of those things. . Sadly, at the end of week 5 I only lost 500g which is super frustrating but unfortunately has everything to do with my monthly cycle...so this means I need to lose 2kg next week to achieve my goal. . Oh well, dust off the disappointment, chin up, these things happen, but there is still time. Only 7 days left, time to be super disciplined and focussed. . #6weekchallenge #hiit45 #hiit45training #hiit45wembley #weightloss #bodytransformation #healthybodymovement #nevergiveup #learntosayno #stayfocused #youcandoit #healthymind #healthybody #fitgirl #girlswholift #macros #losingweight #commitment #consistency #sassysays #perth See more

07.01.2022 Yes we ran through ponds of water and had to keep running with water logged shoes

07.01.2022 THE 6 WEEK CHALLENGE IS OFFICIALLY OVER and these are the results! Over the next few weeks I will continue to take you through each week of the challenge....but I thought these results might peak your interest in what the @hiit45training 6 week challenge is all about! I am super stoked with the results and the fact that I fit back into all my clothes just in time for my Euro holiday ... But more than anything I am super proud that I stepped out of my comfort zone, took on and stuck to the challenge by following through on such a disciplined eating plan. **not my most glamorous photo...just smashed out a 6am hiit45 session #results #transformation #6weekchallenge #fatloss #fitbody #healthybody #fitgirl #weights #mindset #staystrong #girlswholiftweights #hiit45 #anythingispossible #committment #youcandoit#hiit45training #sassysays

06.01.2022 Everyone competing the course was so supportive of each other and we all had quite a few laughs along the way!

05.01.2022 WEEK TWO After such a great weightloss of 2.9kg in the first week, you could say I was a tad motivated to suck it up and keep going. Having survived week one with black coffee and no avocado at breakfast, week 2 was about getting organised with food prep and finding tasty meal options... Shopping was #1 priority to buy everything that was on #thelist and to #mealprep so that I could grab "legal" food and go. The one downside to the challenge was the amount of cooking and cleaning up as everything had to be made from scratch (no processed foods). Note to self find a way to streamline cooking and food prep. The workout side of life presented no challenges as I worked out anyway, so that hasn't been a big change. It was feeling easier to hit my stride at the gym this week as my body had started bouncing back after detoxing off sugar. Definitely feeling more energetic, not hungry and a bit lighter in my body. Weightloss for week 2 was only 700g. I could tell it was almost "that time of the month" and knew I was carrying fluid, so I wasn't surprised to see such a small number on the scale. Dont forget this ladies, your cycle plays a massive impact on your body, whether you are in tune with the changes or not, just know they are happening and accept that. The impact is only temporary :) . . . . #hiit45training #6weekchallenge #45daysleft #paleo #stricteating #weightloss #transformation #foodaddiction #foodbattles #mentalfreedom #fitbody #commit #results #fitgirl #transformation #fatloss #bodytransformation #sacrifices #fitbody #healthybody #weights #mindset #staystrong #girlswholiftweights #anythingispossible #committment #youcandoit #sassysays

04.01.2022 My support crew!

03.01.2022 I made it through the 6 week challenge and achieved the goal of losing 10kg! What was more amazing than achieving that result, which, don't get me wrong is amazing! I feel so much better to have lost some of those excess kilos that have been creeping on. But more than that is the feeling of accomplishment from signing up to a challenge and sticking to it till the end resulting in achieving the goal. Finishing what I start is often my weak spot as I don't always follow through... to the end. Completing the challenge and not giving up makes me feel so proud and happy and the weightloss was the icing on the cake (not that I ate a cake post challenge, or did I my secret haha). It makes you realise that if you really really want something that you can achieve it with the right mind set and determination. See more

03.01.2022 Blueberry Cheesecake This is a recipe that is in the @hiit45training 6 week challenge and I absolutely love it. I have it with my oats in the morning and it tastes so delicious.... INGREDIENTS 1.2 c fat free cottage cheese 1/2c organic blueberries 1/2 scoop vanilla protein powder Blend in a bullet blender and it will be a smooth and cream purple dream. PRODUCTS 1. Cottage cheese from @woolworths_au 2. Organic berries - I brought non organic ones and I could taste a difference (but I am fussy) 3. Vanilla protein powder. I use @Precision Nutrition as it is one of the best tasting and has high protein and very low carbs and sugar. Give the recipe a go if you need a sweet treat. Let me know if you find a way to improve it. #blueberrycheescake #highprotein #deserts #eatingclean #healthyliving #healthydeserts #cottagecheesedeserts #blueberries #precisionnutrition #hiit45wembley #fitbody #transformation #6weekchallenge #sassysays @ Perth, Western Australia

03.01.2022 How hot does my brother look

02.01.2022 Early morning boxing session kicking my trainer's arse.....he tries to avoid boxing with me at all costs but my normal partner slept in, so I gave it to him today. I was so close to not going to the class once my partner messaged to say he wasnt going to make it but then I got to train with the instructor (also my PT) and ended up having such a brilliant and super hard training session. I burnt over 500 calories, it was challenging, hurt and I felt amazing for it.... I love love love boxing and have been doing it for a long time, it is such an intense all over body workout that rips through the calories and tones everywhere. Find a form of exercise that you love doing and it will always be fun and challenging in a positive way. You body, mind and soul will thank you for it. #boxing #trainhard #getresults #personaltransformation #sassysays #fitness #calorieburn #muscletone #foreverfit #goodlife #ben #healthylife #healthybody #happymind #freesoul @ Goodlife Health Clubs Brookfield Place

02.01.2022 I just took myself to the movies, by myself (yep, I don't care) in Premier Class to watch I Feel Pretty. I knew it would be a great way to end my weekend and a great start to the new week by providing an opportunity for self reflection. The movie was absolutely brilliant and the message so important. It perfectly highlighted how our internal thoughts and beliefs of ourselves and others shapes our perception of reality and how that perception impacts on how we act and consequ...ently how we choose to experience life. This is stuff I have been working on lately and the faster we all learn this lesson the better our experience of life will be. If we all carried out life loving and trusting who we are, we would be infinitely happier, achieve more, have more fun and I bet we would have a lot more experiences that we cherish as we would not be held back by our own limiting thoughts. Everyone should watch this movie at least once! #weareonlylimitedbyourbeliefs #girltime #loveyourself #dreambig #sassysays
