Mission accomplished !

My journey was coming to an end after few months of preparation for Miss Galaxy Universe Fitness and Pageant Show.

A few years ago I underwent an open stomach emergency surgery due to a stomach ulcer and perforation with complications which left me with a huge scar and cut of my abdomen muscles. This has proven to be one of my biggest challenges…losing stomach fat and building strong core muscles.

Life is too short not to give it your best shot or to live in regrets. This is why I have decided to give it my best for the Galaxy Universe Competition.

The Galaxy competition has encouraged me to stay focused with my training and my healthy dieting. The competition preparation has proven to be a great goal for training towards.

I have found great support though the Galaxy Girls, spending time with like-minded girls helping each other in our own very special journeys. We encourage each other, exchange tips and get guidance from our fantastic mentors and organizers Sarah Donohue and Vikkie Krzyzanowski . It has been a delightfully fun and unique experience, I have met amazing people with whom I hope to stay in touch.

As a health and fitness coach at Aem health and fitness www.aemhealthandfitness.ning.com I have to lead by example and Galaxy Competition is a great way to spread the word on Health and Fitness!  Along my Galaxy journey I have lost considerable amount of fat and weight, shaped up for the competition feeling more energetic and more confident.

For me Galaxy is about healthy fit strong women accepting who they are, doing their best to be their best, spreading the word and sharing this with others.


I am working already on few new projects: 
Sports nutrition for sports performance for taekwondo elite fighters 
Teaching Hip Hop Dance fitness classes TYGA coming soon to London

Love Life, love to Live.

Mission Accomplished !

Miss Galaxy Universe 2012

Bikini category 

Birmingham, UK

Day after camp March 2012

Day after GG camp March 2012 London, UK

I had such a busy, exhausting, productive and overwhelming day yesterday.

I was hosting a Healthy Eating presentation at Gukwoone Mixed Martial Art Club all morning.

This in itself was amazing! great to teach children and parents about healthy eating and how NSP can help their healthy eating.

It was amazing to see the children response with such enthusiasm and curiosity.

The talk finished by chatting with some of the parents and booking them for private one on one health consultation.

After a short break I was making my way to join my fellow GG girls in the city...the quickest route on the central line, of course, was not working ...agrrrhhhh !

Arrived at the gym and it was such a buzz there !

An amazing day...finished with a cup of coffee with some of the GG Girls...

I could not sleep, and anyway our Galaxy Facebook group was too busy to allow any of the GG to sleep that evening...I can't imagine what it is going to be like on the day at TMMA Show!!!

After sleeping over it all, it gave me a fantastic perspective on where I was at and where I was going...

I am am still on my journey, meeting fantastic people on the way and learning about life...

a slow week

A slow week this week

It has been a very slow week this week...I have been sidetracked and out of focus lately ...few things on my mind other then Galaxy Girl training...

I have to put mysel back together and keep strong and steady in my progress !

I did an interview with a Sports Psychologist on this topic actually last year ...

It's ok...better now than later or never !

From personal experience and from seeing people around me, I have learnt and realised few things:

• No one else will understand yourself better
• No one else will help you better
• No one else will be happier once you reach your goals

than YOU ! yes ...I will say it again YOU!

That's right.

At Aem Health and Fitness we do not pretend doing the work for you.

We will coach you and be there to give you guidance and support in YOUR journey.

A journey to a better you, a healthier you and a happier you.

Let me introduce myself ...http://aemhealthandfitness.ning.com/video/aem-health-and-fitness-new-year-exciting-new-start

Let's continue our amazing journey !

Miss Galaxy Universe Training 2012: I was doing good until I went out last night ...o...: I was doing good until I went out last night ...oopsss ! Lol Progress is coming along nicely not as quickly as I would like it to be .......

I was doing good until I went out last night ...oopsss ! Lol

I was doing good until I went out last night ...oopsss ! Lol

Progress is coming along nicely not as quickly as I would like it to be ....but going in the right direction. Sometimes it can be disheartening as it is slow progress compared to the time left till GG competition (11 weeks)....

o I will go on that stage and I will be proud of whatever progress I have made ...after all this is what it is all about the journey...

Diet is going well so far as long as I prepare everything for the while day in advance : my various meals, vitamins and supplements

...but when I feel tired / exhausted / unwell this is when it goes out of the window ...I look for comfort in food ...instead of resting my body ...and these days, when I had a busy day I have to give my body a minimum of 1 hour if not 2 hou

r rest before feeling normal again and able to continue with my day. Comfort eating is bad habit I am learning to kick and get ride of ...

o

o I HATE my scale !!! So disheartening!! I usually go by progress pictures, clothes and measurements. I bought a more sofisticated one body fat, muscle, water etc ...it gives a muc

h accurate and better picture ! Bought mine in Argos for only GBP 39.00

o

o My face and body shape are really changing I am having a waist now starting to show and building a bit of tone in my arms ;)))

o

o I have bad days too where I go downstairs to the kitchen looking for anything "naughty" to give me comfort on these low days ...but can't find anything because we don't have anything at home thank God !!! Or it might be a disaster LOL last time ended up having Ryvita and almond butter ...not too bad for a naughty trip LOL ..

o Let's be brave ! Let's be strong ! Let's be proud of ourselves , our progress , out journey ...

o Also I am too young for over 40 year old category, but much older than the regular category they are in their twenties when I am in my late thirties ...36 …I know it might sound silly / an excuse but I think it does make a difference too ...

o My training : I train every other day as an average and sometimes twice on these days . Tuesday morning outdoors training with cardio, drills and mobility . In the evening , Thai boxing which includes a body circuit training. Wednesday zumba with Lola and a bit of upper body work in the fun . Thursday outdoors training again . Friday rest :))) Saturday Thai boxing training, Sunday rest :))).Monday cardio 45 min and full body workout .

o

o …On my way to see a friend to discuss bikinis and evening dress :))) the fun bit begins too !

o Let’s be disciplined (as my respiratology consultant keeps saying to me re. my weight !!!!) Let's be brave ! Let's be strong ! Let's be proud of ourselves , our progress , our journey ...

week review _ Friday 24th Feb

I was really pleased with myself this week !

Prepared all my meals for the week according to plan - no exceptions

Ate all my meals according to plan - no food cravings I guess the yerba mate really helps

I have been adding Solstic Slim into my 3 litre water a day

Managed to stay strong and focused and said NO to extra food !

Did ALL my training according to plan and even more !

took all my supplements according to plan and even shared some of my antioxidants shooters with some of my friends.

I did all my training according to plan and even MORE !

I must admit that after all my clients' appointments this week I was feeling absolutely exhausted...good thing today was my rest day (training) and tomorrow no early morning appointment :))

I must keep this going ...I am on the right track to success ; )))

Sarcoidosis an illness so misunderstood

Sarcoidosis an illness so misunderstood

Five years ago, I was diagnosed with a chronic autoimmune disease called Sarcoidosis which in my case has developed over time and is now affecting my normal breathing. I have good days and bad days. On the good days, I live my life to the full and on the bad days I can’t even come out of my bed having the feeling I have ran a Marathon without even haven started my day and I am not even mentioning the aching body pains and very bad chest pains and anxiety feeling of not breathing properly. This disease has made me realize how precious life if. I need to listen to my body and its signs even more than ever to avoid over exhaustion.

The problem is that most people don't know nor haven't even heard of sarcoidosis.

Some people might take sarcoidosis sufferers for lazy people or piers might not understand the change of level of activity affected by the illness.

Exhaustion is very difficult to explain or describe to people: the scientific explanation is the following

Symptoms of physical and mental exhaustion include feeling constantly tired and worn out. Feeling physically and mentally exhausted can take their toll at all levels of life. We become less adept at our jobs, our relationships suffer, and energy levels drop to all-time lows.

If ignored, exhaustion can lead to serious consequences su

ch as burnout, excessive stress, depression, as well as lowered immune system functioning. All of these make us more vulnerable to illness and infection, creating a vicious cycle.

In other words it means reaching level of tiredness where you have very little choice but to stop and rest as you are unable to function physically and mentally as normal.

It is very frustrating to live it as one feels not in control and would like to do more but can't .

It is even more frustrating when people do not understand this illness.

The best thing in these cases is to explain and remind people of this illness.

Above all is to look after oneself as no one else will do this for you.

Please feel free to get in touch in you have any questions regarding this illness or if you are suffering from sarcoidosis and would like to connect and share experiences.
