Two years ago I didn't expect this.
Twelve months ago I didn't expect this.
But today I did a thing... I started for Tone It Up - FULL TIME!!! ... well officially 1st March
If you didn't know I was also working a part time job in administration 3 days a week whilst building TIU and it was slowly wearing me out. I'd get to the end of the week and just be exhausted... I also was running out of time to do things in a week, probably why I stopped training myself as it just wasn't my priority.
I came home on Wednesday after being in the office and said to Matt "I am going to resign" and he said "ok.." - bloody hell that was easy! So I did. I promote filling your own cup before others and doing things you love, so I decided to take my own advice.
So the good news for everyone is that I now have more time to train you!
I will be opening up my day on a Tuesday and Wednesday from 1st March for PT & Small Group Training as well as a Bootcamp session on a Tuesday morning. I am also looking to add an additional location for Bootcamps so stay tuned!
CLASS UPDATES
I have decided to remove the the Friday 9.30am class as it hasn't proved to be successful post lockdown & open that space for PT.
Adding in Bootcamp Tuesday 9.30am as of 1st March.
If you would like to book in PT then head over to Powerdiary to book as of Tuesday 1st March. PT can be 1:1, 2:1 or 3:1.
JUNIOR BOOTCAMP
Tuesday is a winner and welcome to all the new kids and their parents!
A reminder you have a FREE BOOTCAMP with me too!
Important Note for Wednesday TERM 2. I have made the decision to change the Wednesday 12-16 group to a combined session on Tuesday. With Tuesday being two sessions one at 4pm - 4.45pm and the second session 5pm - 5.45pm.
A reminder will be send closer to the dates.
BUILDING OF HQ UPDATE
The new HQ is coming along nicely with the plumbing and electrical work started and the internal walls to go up in the next week... so I am hoping March is our planned opening! It's looking good! I just can't wait..It's been a dream of mine for so long and a massive thanks to Matt for all his hardwork!
GOAL SETTING
Last week we had our annual Goal Setting session for the team and we walked away with some great goals individually.
You can set a goal, and think it's what you want but when you dig deep and find your WHY... it may change a little. It is about finding your emotional drive...
In the book The War of Art, the author Steven Pressfield writes,
"At some point, the pain of not doing it becomes greater than the pain of doing it." It is easier to take action and feel awkward in the yoga class than to keep sitting feeling bad about yourself in front of the TV.
And it is easier to feel strange while eating your homemade vegetable soap at work than to feel disappointed while stepping on your weight scale.
So, don't think "I do it tomorrow" instead think " Finish-out today and quit tomorrow"
(But of course you don't quit tomorrow, because tomorrow you will think about the same line again)....
RECIPE OF THE MONTH
Last week Junior Bootcamp had to record the amount of fruit they ate and a favourite fruit was MANGO! So here's a recipe for you to try!
Grilled Flank Steak With Mango Chimichurri
Ingredients
For the Steak: 1.5 lbs. (680g) flank steak 1⁄2 tsp. salt 1⁄2 tsp. pepper 1 onion, sliced 1 tbsp. cumin 1 tbsp. chili powder 2 limes, juiced 1 tbsp. honey 1 tbsp. red wine vinegar 2 tbsp. olive oil 2 cloves garlic, minced 4 tbsp. cilantro, chopped 1⁄2 tsp. red chili flakes For the mango chimichurri: 2 tsp. red wine vinegar 4 tbsp. olive oil 1⁄4 tsp. red chili flakes 1 clove garlic, minced 1⁄2 tsp. dried oregano 4 tbsp. cilantro chopped 1 mango, peeled, and cubed 1⁄2 tsp. salt 1⁄4 tsp. pepper
What you need to do
Season the steak with salt and pepper. Then mix all the remaining ingredients for the steak into a large bowl and stir to combine. Add the flank steak, toss until well coated, cover and place in the fridge to marinate for 3 hours or overnight.
When ready to cook, remove the steak from the fridge and set it aside for 15 minutes to come to room temperature.
Place a skillet over a high heat, place the steak in the hot skillet and sear for 2-3 minutes until browned. Flip the steak over and cook on the second side for 2-3 minutes then remove the steak from the hot skillet and place on a board to allow the steak to rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
To make the mango chimichurri, mix the vinegar, olive oil, red chili flakes, oregano, cilantro and garlic together in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper, add the mango and stir to combine.
Slice the steak, cutting across the grain of the meat. Serve immediately with the mango chimichurri.

Although I live in Sydney, and am related to Fiona, I follow her posts and the quote of Steven Pressfield she uses in the newsletter was right on the mark for me.
I now have a little dog to take care of and when I don't walk, means he missies out also and that is not good .. 🐶
