About Me
- Raechelle
- My husband and I are American-Australians and have lived in Aus for 14 years. We are both certified Personal Trainers and have enjoyed working out for a combined 50 years. I am also a figure competitor (coming out of retirement!) and have overcome an alcohol addiction. With this blog I not only share my interest in health & fitness but share my story on how I continue to over-power my alcohol addiction in the hopes of helping others who may suffer from addiction. Still continuing the journey of being as healthy as I can be and hopefully helping a few others be their healthiest too!

GOOD MORNING!! :o)
Just finished my post-training meals whilst I watched your vlog Raechelle. It's important that we listen to our bodies and not push them beyond our boundaries so your decision not to compete at the all females is probably a good one all things considered.
Enjoy your workout and have a great weekend! xxx
Thanks for the support Lia!
Have a great weekend!
Hey gorgeous girl! Lookin good, you are going to take that Townsville stage by storm!!! Sounds like you have made a very sensible decision about the All Females too. Our bodies are very clever at telling us what they need to do aren't they? (I think you once told me that!) Good to see you vlogging again too.
Have a great Sunday (without the computer) and will chat next week!
Hey Raechelle
Lookin' good girl! ;)
As Lia said, it's great you're listening to your body. You do what ever you need to do, and only you can decide on what's best. It's about reaching for your goals, but with longevity of health and happiness always in mind. :)
Hey Raechelle,
Enjoy your Vlogs... you are looking great! Good plan to not do the All Females... it is very expensive doing 3 comps in one year! It won't run away, there is always next year like you said. I'm in two minds whether to do that show also!!
Shannon :)
I love your VLogs! Looking GOOD girl! I have a plan but this last week was not good, I was probably ON plan 50%. :( Today is a new day, and the beginning of a new week! Time to rock it!
Thanks all-yes...it will be there next year; definitely not worth screwing up the bod for...I want to be lifting weights when I'm 100 like Ruth Frith! :-)
