So many good things..

Oh My..

 Today started so magically..

So recently i've been doing some soul searching..Im not losing any weight for all my half assed efforts and my mind is in chaos. Im not sure what you believe in but im a big believer in how much your mind and thoughts play on your weightloss and quality of life.. Hence why im a big believer in yoga and meditation.

I seem to go hard or not go at all.. im having trouble balancing life and losing weight.
Working, organising the household, looking after my girls, being a wife, a bestfriend, a daughter, a sister and finding time to be myself. Im constantly exhausted and have been really sabotaging my efforts. Finding it hard to focus on one thing at a time and then giving up focusing on anything.
I'm quite an open minded person and really give everything a go. Ive always had a pull towards alternative therapies and really believe in the connection between the body, mind, and spirit.





My bestfriend and my mother have been seeing therapists that do "muscle testing" or kinesiology (http://www.breakthroughtherapy.com.au/kinesiology2) and i've heard some really great things.

I know how to eat healthy i smash workouts these two things really aren't my problem! I know its all in my head and Gavin does alot of combined techniques to really get out what the underlying issues are and how to retrain your brain/thought patterns to alter the current cycle of behavior.
Yeah sounds pretty full on.. I had my first appointment today and it really blew me away! He was asking me all these questions about what i want to achieve and where i want to be and how my life is going now..and was able to pull the answers out of the way i chose my sentences.. its really hard to explain but it was quite an awakening. He made me cry which i was determined not to do! Getting under all the shit and deep into the underlying issues of my sabotaging behaviors.
He ended it by teaching me a repatterning exercise and gave me an oil blend. For the first time in years i have been able to clear my mind and not have a single thought running through my head! I felt kind of high.. off in fairy land.. and was so relaxed i wanted to sleep. Its was so refreshing.. and i seriously recommend it.. to be honest i was a bit of a sceptic and wasnt sure about my appointment but im really glad i listen to my mother and went. Im going again next week to see him as i have joined up to their new Mind & Body transformation program!


It seems everyone has jumped into the "12 week transformation" programs! After doing Michelle bridges i have seen so many pop up out of nowhere! So i was intrigued to see what they had to offer being an alternative therapy business. I went along to an information seminar about the program last night and it was really good! Im all about the mind aspect of losing weight and this program went beyond the michelle bridges "mindset" lessons.
You get:
  • an appointment with gavin like what i had today but you have to fill out pages of questions as a "warm up" so youre not spending your whole appointment with the questions. 
  • 2 sessions with their PT who specializes in strength and conditioning training hes got a full list of credentials-masters in strength and conditioning, trains junior dragons football team and heaps of really good swimmers n stuff.. He does an assessment of your current fitness level your goals and your lies/dislikes and creates a program for you.
  • You get a free week of circuit training and bootcamp sessions. Thereafter they are $12 session or 10 for $100
  • Each week you get 15 min support session with Gavin. This is to weigh and measure, consult about how your week went and any mishaps you stubled across and how to work through them to improve next week
  • You get a 20% on all the services Break Through has to offer: chinese medicine, acupuncture, Energy centered chiropractic work, remedial, aromatherapy and sports therapy massage,Reiki,  astrology, etc etc
  • Theres access to a naturopath at a reduced rate for meal plans and consultation
It says its 12 weeks but really its about moving through the stages. That may take you a year or longer/less. Its really about focusing on you individually and supporting you through every aspect of the weight loss journey. It was createded by Gavin himself who has lost 45kgs in the last year and based on what helped him through and what he needed throughout his journey.
I have been thinking of joining back up to Michelle Bridges 12wbt but cant justify spending the money for stuff i already know.. With this i can use the program i get from Chris in the gym or continue the exercise program i have been doing already.. I know what i have to eat and can get help from Nicola if i need it. Ill be seeing Gavin every week to check in and make sure everythings in order. Im really excited! Ive got all the forms and all my diaries i have to fill out and im ready to deal with the shit when it comes up because i know ill have his support every week. The atmosphere and the loving energy i get from this place is so overwhelming.
