Just having a cuddle.

My little man came home from a 3 week holiday. Guess who's happy?

[THE IMPORTANCE OF HAVING A SPOTTER] Client Darren was at the end of a pretty intense PT session. I had to weigh up spotting him or taking photos, stressing the importance of using a spotter. CATCH 22. I took the photo. You should always use someone to spot you. . Last photo shown no (long term) damage done. . I will fight this cancer. I will refuse to just sit and wonder what will happen. I have a life to live! I love my family. #fightcancer #bepositive #lovelife #IChoseToFight #ForMyTomorrows #cancer #cancersucks #fuckcancer #keto (at C Yourself FIT)

No not a halo. Just waiting for my oncology appointment sitting under a spot light. Fight cancer. I refuse to just sit and wonder what will happen. I have a life to live! #fightCancer #fighttolive #lifematters (at Western Hospital)

I am having a rest day today. Just doing some school and gym work. Started feeling a little cold around lunchtime, so I put on tracksuit. About 3 pm, was still cold, so I put my winter slippers on. Didn’t help much. Started thinking “f*cking cancer”, I never used to feel the cold like this. . Then I took the bins out. . Not cancer; but it’s cold and wet outside - just Googled the temp 12 and wet. Not sure If there is a cure for dumb-arse! ; NOTE: I had all then blinds closed today. I get up at 5 am (yes that’s normal fro me) and could be bothered opening them. . I will fight this cancer. I will refuse to just sit and wonder what will happen. I have a life to live! I love my family. #fightcancer #bepositive #lovelife#IChoseToFight #ForMyTomorrows #cancer#cancersucks #fuckcancer #keto (at Point Cook, Victoria)

When I die, I want this nominated for famous quotes: “When a single day becomes a challenge and the thought of getting through the whole week seems just too much, then make it a focus to deal only with tomorrow!” Fight cancer. I refuse to just sit and wonder what will happen. I have a life to live! #fightCancer #fighttolive #lifematters (at Point Cook, Victoria)

Sometimes clients don’t want to be showcased, i get that. But sometimes success need to be celebrated. So here is my compromise. Male client, mid 50’s. Wanted just to look and feel better.

Client Peter has bad issues. He went to see his chosen health professional. A diagnosis was made and I developed a training program. Peter’s condition is improving. . Have an injury or issue, get it checked out by a health professional. I had a bad back last year. I thought it was a slipped disk. My health professional strongly recommended I get an MRI. I did. It turned out to be cancer. . Don’t risk it. #iReShapeU #CYourselfFIT #Spotswood #Fitness #PersonalTraining #HeartHealth #FatBurn #CleanEating #WeightLoss #‎nutrition #fuckcancer (at C Yourself FIT)

Needed a smiley face today. Toilet half-flush? Yeah, why not. Good news, no more radiation for now. This means I can reduce the steroids. I've put on 20kg since Christmas and really, really need to get it off. See you later 4th double chin. Come at me "older gentleman handsome face". Great day today. Yes that's perspiration. I will fight this cancer. I will refuse to just sit and wonder what will happen. I have a life to live! I love my family. #fightcancer #bepositive #lovelife #IChoseToFight #ForMyTomorrows #cancer #cancersucks #fuckcancer #keto (at Peter Mac Sunshine Hospital)

Back at Peter Mac Sunshine. Not sure having reception know your first name is such a good thing haha. Just kidding having a great day Fight cancer. I refuse to just sit and wonder what will happen. I have a life to live! #fightCancer #fighttolive #lifematters (at Peter Mac Sunshine Hospital)

Often been called one. Now seems like getting it daily. Prick that is. Seems like they want my blood daily! Well at least I am able to give it. Fight cancer. I refuse to just sit and wonder what will happen. I have a life to live! #fightCancer #fighttolive #lifematters (at Radiology Point Cook)

[GET EXPERT ADVICE] Even if the experts aren’t. I got the all clear from my medical team a little while ago to recommence training. The secondary tumours that caused the fracture in L1 & L2 vertebrae seem to be undercontraol with the radiation and pain meds. . What really surprised me was how little these medical specialists know about corrective exercises. They had no specific recommendations on what specific exercises were OK for me to help strengthen my back. Only that I exercise. . I have completed a number of specialist training (Biomechanics and Functional to name two) and thus I have a good understanding of the exercises I need to do. I had to explain/demonstrate the workout I planned to undertake, to my oncology team. . Low row Lat pull Crunches Sled push Single arm rows, plus some others were all OK’ed for me to do. . Note: Determining the starting weight could be a little subjective. Need to lift enough to have a positive effect but low enough not to cause injury. Best to see a professional. (at C Yourself FIT)
