Kick the sugar babit (part 1)

This is me, I am sugar free. I am 29 weeks pregnant and finally doing something that I have been skirting around for weeks, no, make that, months.

It’s been a busy past couple of weeks. I had FILEX, the Sydney fitness convention a couple of weekends ago - three days of back to back lectures on various aspects of the fitness industry. I did a great workshop on Pelvic Floor which I will bring you information on a little later, along with many other awesome topics. This weekend was Mothers Day: happy Mother’s Day to all the mums out there!

What about mum's life?

I sit here at 3.45pm almost 25 weeks pregnant having dropped Marley off at family day care at 8am this morning, head to the park to run my Body Beyond Baby group exercise sessions, dash to the studio to train a one on one client, then on to a café to interview a trainer to join me in my business – I just ate lunch … I know, I hear you – 3pm! Number one rule – make time for fuel!
