August News

What a month!! I’m busy writing August news laying around the pool at my hotel in Bali. As most of you are aware I had a pretty bad accident whilst over here and I am bound to crutches and rest. First time in my life I have had to use crutches and whoa they take a lot of strength to use. A novelty for the first two days but now day 7 in, I have well and truly had enough. I have to continually remind myself to wriggle my toes to stop them from swelling up in the bandage and to stop them from going numb. Accidents are sent to test us throughout our life and all we can do is grin and bear the pain and inconvenience. As I was in excruciating pain whilst being transported to the hospital in the back of a taxi all I could think of was all of the poor Bali bombing victims what they must have endured. Here I was screaming for the pain from my foot and most of them had awful burns to their bodies…….harden up Nic!! Having a disability really makes you appreciate the healthy times in your life and how much we take for granted. Now that leads me to exercise.

Exercise!! I constantly hear the lamest excuses to not exercise. This challenge has proven to me the dropout rate of people who just are not willing to take the extra step to improve their lives. Excuses, excuses…...you know what…… lose the excuse. As a trainer I know it’s hard some days to get out of bed, I know there is days that your body is screaming for more sleep, I know there is days that you feel lazy but if you really want to change the way you look and most importantly feel…….just do it! If you have an injury rest but when you can resume exercise and let your trainer know so we can give you easier options. We all love the complements you receive when you are looking good and man how that totally changes your mantra!

I’m back in Australia and continuing on. Off the crutches but on with the moon boot. Quite a fashion assessory!! Wounds are healing well and will be back today with lots of energy to burn. Watch out!!!

Having nearly 6 weeks off exercise I can see clearly how people fall into the trap of not exercising. I have realised the importance of getting up early and exercising first thing as obstacles always seem to pop up in your day. Kids, Work, Dinner, Housework, Husbands etc. ahhhhhh
