Passion is the key to success...

Well this week has seen me busy busy busy! I like being busy, it keeps me out of trouble ;)
So as most of you know, my husband and I created, own and run a Personal Training Studio in Richmond and Sth melbourne called Unique Fitness Studio. Up until now i have been Studio Manager which means i deal with the day to day 'stuff', marketing, PR, stock, some receptioning and much more behind the scenes bland jobs! Don't get me wrong, i have enjoyed this role and its created a very nice little existence for hubby and I. BUT, for some time I have felt a little lost within the business. After finishing my comp in July I had a lot of interest from clients wanting nutritional advice. So it occured to me that that is what I should be focusing on. I have my qualifications so why not utilise them fully?
This is when Unique Nutrition was born. I have spent the last week building (yes people ON MY OWN!!) my own website which will offer online nutritional support programs as well as face to face consultations. It will be particularly aimed towards women wanting to achieve weightloss goals and women with hormonal disorders such as PCOS and Endometriosis.
I designed an eating program for my girlfriend KT who suffers from endo and she has had amazing results after years of not being able to lose weight. When she saw her specialist at the ACT Endo clinic, they were amazed at her transformation and asked what she had been doing. When KT mentioned that I had built her program and was a sufferer of endo and PCOS myself, the Co-ordinator instantly wanted to speak with me. After a wonderful discussion, I will be working with ACT Health and in particular women who suffer from Endo, to help them change their eating and lifestlye habits to avoid surgery for their disorder. I am beyond excited at this prospect!
So I will be working from home and the studio, clients can see me in my home office, at the studio or just online support - up to them. Im hoping to go live with my website on Mon or tuesday.
This is a real passion of mine as i have transformed my body, and although I dont claim to have the be all and end all of nutritional knowledge ( i have a lot to learn) I do have first hand experience of how to change my body, gain more energy and overcome hormonal limitations.
Very exciting times for me, hubby and our company!
I went and saw my coaches on thursday - i have really missed them in the last couple of weeks! They are both looking great as their prepping for october comps. And then the comp feeling started again - oh boy! They think i should do the october comps and trust me when i say it is veeerrryy tempting. I had, by thursday afternoon decided to do the comp and today im swinging again. Hubby is supportive no matter what but its important i do this for myself and no one else. Over the next couple of days im chatting with an industy 'celebrity', professional and overall gorgeous person in the sports modeling world. Im hoping with her help to gain some insight and make some decisions around competing. So far her words to me have been 'You and your health are my number one priority - i couldnt give a shit about some show'! So i know that she will help me formulate some plan of attack either with competing or without... i will keep u posted on this and value anyone's input on this topic.
Alright enough already, im exhausted from this post!
Keep training hard and eating clean everyone
