I've never been a crazy active person. I use to go to the gym every now and then, joining in the aerobics classes, trying out the spinning classes every other day, but I've never been too fond of exercising, especially not on my own.

8 Years ago I was diagnosed with Crohn's Disease which changed my perspective on life, health & living an active & fit lifestyle. I fell very ill and the only way I could cope with the changes in my body was to change what was going on in my mind and focus on the positive. I started working out more, I joined an action netball team, tried crossfit, completed the Jamie Eason Live Fit program and even tried Kayla Itsines 12 Week Bikini body program. Through these 8 years I focused so hard on my health and fitness and was able to be in the best shape of my life.

In Feb this year reached my lowest low and had to have a piece of my colon surgically removed. It was a very dangerous and serious operation and I had a very long recovery time. Working out was out of the question for 6 months after the operation and I had to focus on eating habits and gaining weight. I completely lost my focus, habits, routine and all the progress...but for the first time in 8 years I was healthy, I could eat whatever I was in the mood for without falling ill and I could just be. I enjoyed the off time, the rest, the food. But now, it's December and I'm missing my bikini body, my confidence, my strength and focus. So starting Now, I'm refocusing, I'm cleaning up my food habits, I'm scheduling my gym times into my calendar and I'm focusing on finding the new healthy, strong and happy me. I'm finding Balance.

I love how it makes me feel, I love how it changes your body inside & out, it helps me build confidence and find inner piece. It helps me find balance in life.
