The blogging begins…

Hello all you fitness girls! Today Fitness mag issue 25 went on sale with our top 32 cover model selected entries. It’s been amazing to see the response from this year. So many ladies entered, and the condition, tone and quality of photography is so much higher than what we’ve had before. It really is amazing and inspiring to see so many entries.

I hope, like me, all our readers will find inspiration in these girls. It’s not easy balancing your life with a fitness routine. I’m going through the same thing… Even amidst all the fitness lifestyle I am surrounded with, I too get “sucked into” a fast paced lifestyle where work and life just doesn’t stop. I hardly find time for myself, let alone my training and fitness routine. I might not have kids, but I manage a business and have other people depending on me. The team works hard, and, well – Fitness Mag isn’t our only mag we publish. So, work is like “my kids”… and it takes a lot of my time. And that’s just part of the bigger picture. Girls like to be in control of everything, and I’m no exception. Home life is important, and I’m sure you all know the responsibilities that comes with ‘running a household’. The shopping… cooking… all the frilly bits that girls do. And of course… your other half. That’s an important part – while working hard at every other aspect of your life, you can never neglect your man

So – in a nutshell, I’m where some of you might be now. I have taken my eye off the prize for a moment while I attend to my life. And it’s not just about that I have fallen behind with my fitness routine, it’s about life. We give so much of ourselves selflessly, and… well, we never focus on ourselves enough.

So I am taking it back! I’m putting myself 1st and hitting the gym. I’ve formed a bad habit of extending my work hours and blaming a back injury for not getting back into my normal routine. It all started today, and for the first time I’m really excited to jump head 1st into a new make-over! Get my fitness levels back, drop those nasty few kg’s and get energised!

Check out my progress, what / how I’m training, what my nutrition comprises of and…. what happens in the day to day life of a fitness editor! More fitness – More fun!

See you soon!
