And so it begins.....

Welcome guys.

On the eve of my first weigh in and pictures I decided to start this blog. Bringing sexy back is my tongue and cheek way of summing up my goal, like many, this new year - to get back into shape and feel sparky both on the inside and out!

For those who don't know me too well - in the last 8 months, my overall health and well being, both physically and mental, has taken a battering. I accepted a new role in April which has left me living out of a suitcase, drinking far too many glasses of wine and enjoying room service without so much as a sniff of a gym! This has opened so many doors in my professional life and my career has some what exploded, but the change in lifestyle and stress which accompanies this has taken its toll. The devastating loss of my papa and battling through that cloud of grief every day, along with not taking care of myself has left me feeling exhausted as 2010 came to a close.

Time off over Christmas gave me the head space and energy to re evaluate my direction of travel and the motivation to make necessary changes. This however isn't all about weight loss or the cover model picture perfect body. My aim is to feel strong, healthy and balanced - both on the inside and out. I without doubt tackle the demands of my professional life with more drive and energy when my physical self is taken care of and I'm feeling happy.

With a propensity to over train and not eat well (I'm an obese girl trying to get out) this blog is my way of not only making myself accountable but also putting into practice what I know to be right. I am lucky enough that many of my friends are fitness professionals and have learned so much from them over the years as well as putting in my own hours of research and practice. Good nutrition, good workouts and most importantly for me REST to re energise and repair.

So on that note, off to bed for me for some much needed sleep x
