Warning: this is a health and fitness status :P If I were to look back at my life exactly one year ago, I would be painting a very different picture to the person I am today. Exactly one year ago today, I hopped into a car with someone who I barely knew - only through their inspirational and motivational Facebook updates - to go our very first Crossfit session with the Dr of Squatting; Richard Wong. I was in an abusive relationship, unhappy with myself, and had alienated myself from most of my friends. In the last year, that person I barely knew, Rawinia Judson) is now one of my best friends - and Ive developed a whole new me. I undertook the challenge of completing Tough Mudder New Zealand; featured in New Idea Magazine and the Good Morning Show as a testament to healthy living and overcoming obstacles, competed alongside another inspirational friend Eric Mogs Morighan in Tough Guy and Gal, lost a SHIT LOAD of body fat, developed a better understanding of nutrition and my body, gained an amazing new Functional Strength CrossFit family - who are the most supportive, crazy, hilarious and inspiring people I could have dreamed of meeting, challenged myself to do things I never thought possible - and achieved them, and best of all, I am now at a place of my life that Im actually happy with who I am, and the direction Im going. Fitness isnt just about the physical - its about the friendships you develop, the little achievements we make, and overcoming the mental obstacles that we place on ourselves. Next obstacle: Milford track in January with my CrossFit Godmother Issa Isaac, and a body building comp in March! \m/
