Hi guys!
I’m on the plane to New York! I can’t believe we’re going to be there in a couple of hours. I’m so excited to spend quality time with my family exploring the city and you’re of course coming with me.
Speak to you in New York xxx
Today I opened up Facebook to this memory, a year ago on this day I competed in my first individual CrossFit comp at @therainhilltrials. A very nervous Maddie faced a massive challenge. It was terrifying put yourself out there in that big arena! The day exceeded all my expectations and I’m so happy I fought past the fear and the reasons I shouldn’t do it. You will always find a tonne of reasons to not do something but sometimes you just need to jump. There is much to gain from that leap of faith. I always think that I would never in my life want to look back at something and wonder what if. Therefore, if it scares you but makes you fire up at the same time, just do it. What’s the worse thing that could happen? If anything you learn from it and even that is a win. That goes for anything, not just competitions!
.
It’s also crazy to think that a year ago I struggled with a lot of the weights at the comp, for instance 20kg thrusters in one of the workouts. The other day in a workout I did four rounds of 15 thrusters at about 30kg unbroken. You don’t even realise how you are gradually getting better, it’s small incremental changes which most of the time go by unnoticed. That’s why it’s fun that we filmed the workouts I did at Rainhill and to look back on them now makes me proud of all the hard work I’ve put in since and am motivated to do more. I have been lacking in motivation recently so this did come at a good time😅

It also made me realise how much I miss my @gymg5_glasgow family and my TP in crime @fayefaye_c 💕
Synchro ab wheel roll outs😜 Trying to get as strong a core as @svikersme 😅 These are tough and make it buuuuuuurn! Fun to mix it up with different exercises to challenge the body in new ways.

Me sitting on the beach thinking about all the good food I’m going to eat in Byron Bay😝
.
Yes I’m going to Byron with my girls @mich_nich and @emlingremlin_ for a week at the end of the month and I’m so excited!
.
We want to check everything out, the Crossfit (because gym friends hehe), the sights, of course hit up the beach and the fooooood. Pretty please give us any recommendations. Byron is a place I’ve been wanting to go to for ages and it’s a little dream come true to finally go. I have a feeling this is going to be an amazing trip, life sure isn’t boring with Mich and Em around😝 But yes hit me up people in the DMs or in the comments below. Thank you 💕
