In 2004 after the birth of my beautiful baby Chloe I weighed 105kg due to the effects of pre-eclampsia at 34 weeks.
After her birth I'd spent 6 months in a depressive state, though managing to lose 19kg of that weight on my own and decided I wanted to get my life back.
Walking through shopping centre one day I saw a promotion for the gym & child care was available. I walked in and told the trainer "SOMEONE has SWALLOWED ME...I WANT TO GET OUT and GET HOT!!!"
It took me one year to lose that weight (46kg's), then I fell pregnant with my second gorgeous child, Max, just one month after I'd started my personal training course.
While pregnant with Max I continued to work out. I felt fit & healthy and put on 26 kg's. I was back on the leg press when he was 5 weeks old and by the time he was one I was ripped again!
I started comping & competing in half marathons in 2009.
Now my focus is on my body sculpting competitions & my personal training business. I've competed in 12 comps in the past 3 years in 2 federations (INBA & ANB), 2 of these being international. My personal goal is to compete in the USA in the next 5 years.
My philosophy:
Live life, laugh about anything & everything, Love everything you do. THis is your life, only YOU CAN CHANGE IT!!!
Keeping Fit & healthy is not a choice ...it's a necessity.
My Favourite Quote:
"When we are motivated by goals that have deep meaning, by dreams that need completion,by pure love that needs expressing, then we truly live life"
