On The Move

2007-12-31T18:25:00.000+11:00

This will be not only my last post for 2007 but my last post for Operation Roxy. I will return no doubt but it is time for a fresh start. I cannot ride on the successes of my past because they are well behind me.

I can't continue with Operation Roxy when I can't get my beloved jeans past my knees now.

Unfortunately I don't know how to wrap things up here. 2007 bought me happiness and heartache.

I started working at Fitness First in March and took the step from Membership Consultant to Senior Membership consultant quickly. I was hoping I would have been an Assistant Manager and Club Manager by now but nope that's where things have stalled. I'm sure it's not too far off. I enjoy my time there and I must say even though I am working some stupidly long hours, the staff there are a tight knit bunch (those that survive anyway) and I have never associated or become such good friends with people I have worked with before as I have there.

Not long after I started at Fitness First I found my ankles which had been giving me trouble for years on and off really started kicking up a stink. I tried a podiatrist, and physio for about 6 months before seeing a sports physician as there was no improvement. An MRI discovered that I had "disintegrated" the tendons and ligaments in my left ankle and the surgeon said it was like a tent with no guideropes. I'm now trying to get on a waiting list for surgery but the public system is disgusting. I haven't even seen outpatients yet and they have had a referral for months. I fear a 2 year wait.

This has played havoc with my emotions (everydy life being difficult to extremely difficult at times) and ongoing from that my weight has skyrocketed and I am HUGE which leads to depression which leads to further weight gain. Arghh bad cycle.

I'm fairly determined to fix it though. I have been doing alot of preparation in the last week or two to help me get back into it like I used to be in January. I turned 27 this past weekend and I had a bit of a breakdown yesterday which was probably mostly hormonal but also had a lot to do with weight issues, and where I am in life in comparison to where I think I should be by now.

Good luck to everyone in 2008! I pray 2007 treated you well and 2008 is truly magical.

I haven't yet decided whether my new blog will be password protected or invite only or totally open so leave me your email if you wish to keep reading just in case.

NEW YEARS EVE

2007-12-26T14:13:00.001+11:00

Are there any bloggy plans for New Years? I was seriously hoping there'd be a repeat of last year with the Bendigo girls cause it looked like the perfect NYE and I missed it!

I have a rare day off NY day so I'm pretty keen for a get together.

2007-12-25T19:30:00.000+11:00

MERRY CHRISTMAS

I know I've been extremely quiet lately and I really and truly

apologise. I miss you all so much.

Stay tuned I will return in the New Year

when Christmas Cheer and Birthday Celebrations have passed.

Fitness Expo

2007-11-09T22:42:00.000+11:00

I had a day off today (one of those rare things for me) so I packed it FULL to the brim of things that were just begging to be done.

First off my hair that was in BAD need of some loving. I had roots poking through my pinkish (faded Red) hair that were about 1 Inch long! OMG some TLC from my dear friend Kylie and 5 or so hours later a gorgeous Blonde has emerged! Thank God we started early! It's no where near done yet. Probably go at it again in 3 weeks then again 3 weeks after that.

Then it was off to Fitness Expo. This was my first Melbourne expo and I have to tell you it's less than a quarter of the size of the Sydney expo and it's got NOTHING on a motivational or discount level like the Sydney one does. However it is still motivating to have something like this to attend.

I was so happy to see Tim from EAS. He has and always will be a great influence in my life. He runs Body-for-Life Australia and is a big hand with all the questions I have had. It's been such a long time since we have caught up.

I also bought a couple of things. Wraps for boxing with Sanjay and an Ultrafit subscription. (Only Ultrafit and Runners Mag were there :-( In Sydney you could go to any of probably 10 magazines for subscriptions! ) Now I need someone to teach me how to wrap my wrists so I can punch harder. I was going to buy some pink Boxing Gloves but they only had 14oz and I wanted 10oz gloves. I wasn't going to take home 14oz gloves (they felt too big) and I wasn't going to settle on black or red when I really want pink so they stayed there.

Then it was off very quickly to pick up the car before the repairer closed and we finally got back home around 8:30pm. It's been all go since 8am so a big day all in all. But I have chosen my foods well. Drank my water and had my supplements. I am calling using crutches around fitness expo a workout though thats for sure. My hands are killing me! I think I should use my weight gloves on the bigger outings with crutches.

I can't believe how well I have been doing in the last couple of days! It's like something in my life has done a u-turn and now I have found the right road and it's all downhill right now. Easy (did I just say that?)

I'm training with Sanjay everyday next week until I drive to Sydney on Friday to see the boy :p I need to go shopping for something to wear between now and then.

Lets keep fingers crossed for a continuation of this trend.
