*** Finding Inspiration ***


" Celebrate every day with enthusiasm for LIFE!
Recognize each second of every day is a gift to make the world a better place!
Appreciate the time you have to share your magnificent talents with others!
Choose to make a difference! Do it every day and DO IT BIG!!!"


A little update...so this Sunday will be my 2nd cycling race (40km)!! My training has not been what I was hoping, with me been ill and the girls, caused the training to take a bit of a back seat.
At least Henk will be riding with me this time round so that should help with the motivation!!!

As far as the diet.....I've really struggled to get back on track and needless to say the colder weather is not helping!!! But I've realized that I need to loose the weight to obtain MY ultimate GOAL of being HEALTHY, HAPPY & 40.....

So after digging DEEP and some serous SOUL searching.....I'm all charged up and motivated again to take "the bull by the horns" and get this WEIGHT OFF !!!!!

So stay turned and I'll keep you in the "Know"

Less is more??? Or is less just less!!!! mmmmm

“The best results are achieved by using the right amount of effort in the right place at the right time. And this right amount is usually less than we think we need. In other words, the less unnecessary effort you put into learning, the more successful you'll be... the key to faster learning is to use appropriate effort. Greater effort can exacerbate faulty patterns of action. Doing the wrong thing with more intensity rarely improves the situation. Learning something new often requires us to unlearn something old.” Tony Buzan

Words to Live by....


The tragedy in life doesn't lie in not reaching your goal. The tragedy lies in having no goal to reach.
Benjamin May

These words are going to be my inspiration going forward......

As races are scarce and time too, my hubby and I have decided to work out a road route from home with a little of all the elements need to get a good work-out and build fitness!!

We will start with a route of about 20km and increase this monthly by 5-10km depending on my progress. Fortunately I have a hubby that is very encouraging and wants to do this with me, even though we will probably move at a snails pace versus his usual pace.

We have entered a 40km race on the 29th May, it will be our first riding together so best I get my butt in gear and build on my fitness & Speed :-)

Got to start it up again!

Having a bit of a holiday slump.  Been up in JHB. Haven’t had time to spin, or go to Yoga.  During Easter was on my parents game farm and I tried to do Yoga with my sister and brother in-law.  That was nice, but I could hardly get out of bed to go to work this morning, let alone go spinning.  J

I know it is the exercise that makes you feel good, and the lack of it is crappy!
