I am Unbreakable

I AM UNBREAKABLE

Most people dont understand, but youre ok with that.
For you, training is not a hobby or a social activity; it is a way of life.
Those around you say that you are obsessed, taking it too far and possibly insane.
They cant understand why you wont eat birthday cake, why you bring Tupperware full of chicken to a party or why you go to sleep early on a Friday to rest up for a Saturday training session.
But you dont care.Their accusatory tones, sarcastic remarks and insults are merely cotton bullets firing at a titanium wall of perseverance known as YOU.You know, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that any negativity that surrounds you is fueled purely by jealousy. Jealous that you are capable of unconditionally committing to something that most cannot stick to for more than a few weeks as part of their yearly resolution. Jealous that you gladly embrace a level of pain, discomfort and fatigue that others cringe at the idea of suffering a fraction of. Jealous that you take time to count carbs, protein, fats and calories while they count their chicken nuggets to make damn sure their 10 piece isnt a 9 piece. In short, theyre Jealous of YOU.Ironically, all the comments, nagging and questioning that is meant to break you down a little, does just the opposite. Every negative word reminds you of how special and uncommon your mechanical allegiance to training really is, in turn, pushing you harder. So bring it on! Let them call you obsessed, crazy or insane and watch you get stronger with every word.
The only one who can slow you down is yourself. As far as the rest of the world is concerned, you are both an immovable object and an unstoppable force
YOU ARE UNBREAKABLE

Plans For 2012

Hi fitness and golfing friends

So...It's almost the end of 2011, can you believe it. Time flys when you having fun hey :)

Many of you have been asking me what my plans are for 2012. Well I like to see how my life unfolds, im not really one for thinking too far into the future, instead I prefer to take each day as it comes and make short term goals that are attainable. This I have found to work for me as it makes me focus easier and allows me to take one step at a time.

I have a few ideas of what I will be getting involved in. I will most likely compete in the annual Mr and Miss Fitness SA pageant again and would like to maybe do one more show, not to sure yet, might even be a show overseas, but we will see how my body progresses as I am always striving to improve and know that I am my best before stepping out on stage. So right now I will be focusing on my weak areas and bringing those up and I may even move up from Model to Model Plus category depending on my progress.

On the golfing side of things, I will be playing in a few tournaments from around March 2012, so I will spend December and January working on my game again as I have been tremendously busy giving golf lessons. 

I also have a few other things planned which I can not reveal yet but I will in due course . I am currently in my off-season now so I am trying to grow during this phase and also give my body a bit of a break from the strenuous competition diet. I am a big believer in having a balance in life and it feels great to be human again :) Diet is pretty clean and getting in a good 4-5 sessions per week in the gym with heavy weight training and added cardio to keep my metabolism up. During the weekends i still eat pretty clean but add one or two cheat meals in to help with cravings but try not to over indulge.

I will be back on competition diet around 14 weeks before I know what show I will be doing, so for now im taking it easy and working hard on my weak areas.

Thats all for now and remember to be fit and healthy is not the easiest thing to do, its a lifestyle and once you in it then you will never get out of it. Just keep your mind on the prize and be patient. Always set yourself realistic goals and beleive in yourself.

ONLY THE STRONG SURVIVE!!!
