Hi everyone, so how is your week so far?

Well I’m busy as usual but excited to say that I launched our new website whoop whoop – I’m getting into this, time to design our next site…

This is a screen shot check it out and let me know what you think? You can click on the image to be directed to the site.

This is what I do for a living for those who wondered: I’m a Brand & Marketing Manager for a group of 3 Companies. I’m passionate about my work and love every minute spend at work. Being in the hospitality industry requires time / dedication and this forms a part of your lifestyle.

I studied BA Graphic Design & Multimedia so the design work is currently an added bonus 😉

What do you do for a living? Is it what you want to do? Are you passionate about your job?

Update on training & Diet:

So who attended the Arnold Classic Sports Festival this weekend? If you did share on the Facebook page: Body and Lifestyle Challenges Claudine Kidson | I wish there was an event like this in South Africa, must have been awesome to meet Jamie Eason or just to be encouraged by others in the fitness industry?

Then I started my second round with Phase 3 of the LiveFit program yesterday and did legs…Oh goodness I’m sore today but love the feeling.

Diet wise I’m keeping it clean! No more M&M’s and time to limit the Sushi to a cheat meal once a week like it use to be! For some reason I craved Sushi that I reached a point having Sushi 4 times a week…Oooooops I know!!!

Once you give in to snacking / sweets it can easily form part of a habit or become a routine. Don’t fall into that trap. Stay focused and don’t give in to temptation. Option out for a healthy alternative!

Well enough for now have a super day everyone.
