Hello friends.
Oh MY GOD.. well what a month… I don't know where to start. FINALLY got to meet the AWESOME Ms JENNY HENDERSHOTT who is just an incredible beautiful soul sista… Had lots of fun at the camp and forged new friendships as well. |
|
It was nice for my clients to actually see me workout alongside them, and I must admit that I was in AWE seeing Jenny also lifting the weights along side ME. I was at Sydney CAMP HEADQUARTERS and just wanted to thank all the campers who travelled far and wide, from TASMANIA to WESTERN AUSTRALIA and from CAIRNS to the RED CENTRE. THANKS girls for making camp so special. There WILL be a camp next year for sure. |

I've added most of the PHAT CAMPERS to this newsletter so I hope you enjoy these monthly updates… FIRST PHAT CAMP REUNION will be at the Sydney BFL support meet on JULY 17th. Have a look in the WHATS ON THIS MONTH SECTION, and feel free to bring your photos to share.
Doing lots of nice things with Make a wish this month including granting a GREAT overseas wish. It certainly puts perspective into my life when I do this type of volunteer work, and I’ve got to say that this type of work is just so incredibly rewarding and special to really see the help, hope, and happiness you provide to wish families. If you don’t already support this great organization then please do. It’s a very special thing that we do.
I plan to make some changes to this website as well. Some things I’m thinking of doing are putting a forum in place, a special Question and Answer Section, some fitness tools and calculators and a small shopping section which will not only include my training journals and tee shirts but in the future my motivational audio CD’s, Calendars, tickets to DESIRE DAY SPA VISITS and the opportunity of getting some great bargains on BRASIL fitness clothing and natural beauty and skin care products.
Stay tuned for more updates, any suggestions on how to make my website and your newsletters better just click on my address and type away. debbie@desirefitness.com.au
My little BELLA BOO is just SOOOO CUTE… getting cheeky and bigger and its just so nice to have a puppy at home. Just had to write something about her. She jumps in bed with me every morning and snuggles under the doona..

2. Add the chicken to the mixture and coat evenly.
3. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
4. Preheat the grill.
5. Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the marinade. (This protects against cross-contamination.) Sprinkle the chicken with the salt and pepper.

Well.. what an incredible few weeks its been. .I cant begin to describe what a fantastic experience its been we had girls fly in from all over Australia to attend the camps and even New Zealand. We all left having experienced first hand Jen’s incredible energy and positive nature. Jen LOVES our lovely country and has guaranteed a return next year. We had ladies from all fitness levels do this camp from 65 year old grandmothers to 15 year old teenagers. Everyone learnt something new, and it forged firm strong friendships. HOW AWESOME IS THAT !!!
Just want to say a quick HI and HOWDY to MARIAH YU who is the current EAS grand master international female champion who is also doing Jen's Jacksonville camp in the states. Have a great time and enjoy those pop squats. |

This month I am proud and honoured to feature a truly beautiful lady from AMERICA who is one of BFL’s newest champions. SHE GIVES new meaning to the word LIFE. When I read Julie’s story I don’t have time anymore with excuses as to why I can’t achieve health and fitness in my life. I hope her story inspires you to seek the reasons to start your fitness programme today. I've attached her original before photo, Sept 2003 and her latest after photo, June 2005. There's also a photo of Porter, Herself and Don Workman (from Tennessee Body-for-LIFE) at her very first EAS appearance. Julie started her 8th BFL challenge on Monday! And makes progress with each challenge. Here's her message to the people of Australia.
Hey ya'll! That's Southern talk for "Greetings Everyone!". I'm from a small-town in the Appalachian Mountains of Virginia, USA. If you've seen The Andy Griffith Show, you've experienced a taste of my life. I live one hour from the town on which "Mayberry" was based.
At age 19, I had Hodgkins Disease (lymphoma) and the treatments nearly destroyed my lungs. I developed interstitial lung disease, a permanent condition. Through the years I’ve been plagued with serious lung infections, the last one culminating in pneumonia. I was on life-support and in a coma for weeks and it took months to rehabilitate. I have 25% of the lung capacity that I need, or in other words, half of a lung! At age 36, I'm currently awaiting double-lung and heart transplant. I use the Body-for-LIFE program to stay as healthy as possible. I was named the EAS Body-for-LIFE Inspirational Champion 2004! I'm doing so well that my transplant status is on hold! As long as I can hold this degree of health, I can prolong the time between now and transplant.
When I awoke from the coma, one of the songs out at the time was Shania Twain's "Up!" The lyrics say, "Up, up, there's nowhere but up from here." I remember humming that song to myself as I learned to use my legs again. I could have never imagined how far up I would eventually climb. In fact, I'm still improving. How far can I ascend? How far up can YOU go? I want to challenge everyone in Australia to take control of your life today! Don't wait another day to create your best life! Enter the official EAS challenge and find the champion in YOU!

Why should you use Desire Fitness?
Because you need extra motivation

You want to strengthen a weak spot or rehabilitate an old sports injury

A fully equipped private studio set in Cromer on Sydney's Northern Beaches just 40 mins from CBD. Desire Studio offers a salt water pool, spa, cedar lined sauna, and outdoor shower amongst a beautiful outdoor setting.
Challenge yourself to the real outdoors with bush trekking or mountain biking. How about a beach run at Curl Curl, or a walk through Warriewood Wetlands that ends at a breathtaking waterfall. Perhaps a session inside the studio on the cross trainer or water rower is more to your liking. Whatever the goal is, DESIRE will help you to reach those goals.
Desire Fitness has a range of packages available to suit your needs from programmes to assist in energy, cellulite, fat loss and complete 3 month transformation packages that I call your BODY FOR LIFE. Training with DESIRE is absolutely an experience like no other. So why wait?. |

For your circumstances to change, you MUST make the change. Contact me now on 0411 085 669 for a FREE WORKOUT SESSION and lets see together what DESIRE can do for you | |

That's a wrap for this month. Stay tuned for my next newsletter, and remember, YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT, so eat healthy.
Yours in Health,
