Every action has a reaction.....

WARNING - this blog contains stomach churning contents!!

When I'm out for a ride on Hannah it's really obvious that everything I do creates a change.  When I push slightly on the right handlebar, I'll turn right.  If I look to the left and shift my weight I'll start to turn left.  You get the picture.

Well yesterday I made the quick dash to the supermarket on the way home to get the ingredients to make one of my cool birthday cakes for my beautiful friend Emma who I had a date on the stairs with tonight.  All good, I made the cake and it turned out really nicely - However I licked the beater & the bowl......

My detox diet is all raw and no processed food, and the sugar in the cake mix, gave me an instant headache, there's the first reaction.  But wait for it - here's the stomach churning bit - the 2nd reaction was a lovely dose of diarrhea this morning!

Now the purpose of me sharing this with you is that sometimes we ignore those signs from our body, or make excuses - "oh I've picked up a bug"  when really it's our body sending us a message, that "Hey I really don't like what your putting in here!!"

So lesson learnt - thank you to my beautiful body for that awesome reminder - message received loud and clear!


Here we are at the end of our 1 hour session on the stairs!  Thanks Em for your awesome motivation!

Time for a new journey

Soooo today I've started a new challenge - I've taken a giant leap out of my comfort zone and committed to competing in the 2013 NT All Female Classic Bodybuilding, Figure and Fitness competition on the 29th of September here in Darwin. 
Today begins an amazing 92 days of diet and exercise like I've never done before.  Just like when I'm on the bike, it's all about what I focus on - So I've started today by setting my goal for the end.

I'll be blogging about my journey along the way - so follow along and share in this adventure with me!
