Member Profile

Who is Emily Mogic?

Thankyou to Em for joining us as a members benefitsbusiness. She is offering a Mothers day portrait specialfor Sil members. Details in the members benefitssection.

Hi there, You heard from my better half, Cheryl, lastmonth and how we kicked off our SIL journey over 2years ago in a bid to get off the couch for a hike in the

Peruvian Andes. Well that hike was a killer at altitudeand six months wasn’t really enough for me to undo allthe years of inactivity. I’m afraid that I required morethan one emergency donkey ride over those 5 days onthe Salkantay Trek. Keen to get off the beaten track, Ichose an ambitious challenge and I couldn’t say Ienjoyed reaching Machu Picchu, but still I got thereone way or another and it just made me determined tokeep getting better. (We did find out when we were inPeru that Salkantay translated to “Savage” mountain,so the next trek I book may be a little betterresearched!)

Now I’m writing this having just completed the 14.5kmRun for the Kids. My fitness is in a much better placewith a couple of sprint triathlons under the belt also. Ilove that Tess always keeps me going and goal setting.This year I’ve set myself the goal of running 500km. I’mon track to beat that so far with 154km. Running usedto be the thing I hated the most, but slowly I’mbeginning to enjoy my runs more and more.

Besides all that outdoor fun, a few of you would have

seen some of my photography recently. Did you knowthat the word “photography” comes from the Greekwords for “light” (phõtos) and “representation by meansof lines” or “drawing” (graphé)… so together they mean“drawing with light”. I can’t tell you how many timesI’ve annoyed Cheryl in the car when we are drivingalong and the light is so beautiful in that moment, thatwe’ve got to pull over and I’ve got to grab my camerato take a picture. (Case in point… check out thisvideo http://www.vimeo.com/34757301) It may seemstrange, but I really do see the world in a series ofpictures!

So adding to my 500km running goal for the year, I’vegot my sights set on a family effort for the NoosaOlympic distance Tri in October and having justlaunched my own photography business I’m busyputting on the last bells and whistles. Life is superhectic like everyone else these days, but exercise isnon-negotiable. It’s something we’ve just got to find thetime for. Thankfully that’s made so much easier with apartner that shares those goals and picks me up whenI’m down and a trainer that pats you on the back whenyou reach a goal and then says with a big smile“What’s next on your list Em?”

EventsWhat is happening? I’d love to join in!Coming this year...

Health & FitnessThe balancing actYou’ve toiled in corporate jobs, worked at home to keepyour family’s sanity and health in place, tended to thetoddlers and family alike. Now it’s time to shift your focus toYOU.

How many times have you stopped during the hustle andbustle of the day and thought about yourself? After all,you’re the head of the home department and you rock atyour job. But to maintain calm in a stressful lifestyle, you gotto be thinking about your fitness and as the basis to good

balance in your life.

Here are a few tips to help you stay fit and manage thebalancing act:

1. Get moving: Go out in nature and spend at least 35-40minutes a day. If you pick a time at dawn, it’s even better.Most of us have a tendency to excuse ourselves fromexercising during evenings and after work. Enjoy a walk, arun or a ride on your bicycle to boost your fitness levels.

2. Choose high intensity: Walking at a moderate speedwill not be as effective as doing so faster at a higher

intensity. When possible, pick higher intensity workouts asthey do a much better job at keeping you fit.

3. Replace negative impression about yourself withself-supporting ones: Be kind to yourself. As amother/farther, sister/brother, wife/husband and aunt/uncle,you’ve been lovingly giving away too much. On the flip side,this could lead to emotional instability with repressedfeelings of anger, self-doubt and sadness building up.Always be self-supportive and think positively about yourbody image. Don’t think “My bum is so big”. Replace it with“I did so well at the group training this morning and I amimproving each day!” Love yourself first.

4. Exercise socially: Research proves that even exercisehaters enjoy working out in a group than alone. If you finddoing it solo too boring to initiate, there are a plethora ofoptions available for you to choose from. In a group, youcan enjoy lasting friendships, the good company of upliftingpeople and training with a motivational trainer.

5. Don’t just focus your calorie-intake: Not all calories aremade equal and our bodies react differently to those high intrans-fat than those from natural foods. Look at nutrition

holistically rather than getting obsessive about your calorie-intake. Choose healthier options as an overall shift.

6. Build downtime in your schedule: Go on a date, shopwith friends or catch up with family. Don’t ignore the power ofa short break during a busy day. If you have a date with yourpartner or a night out with friends marked in your schedule,you will have something extra and positive to look forward to.

7. Consider hiring help: Take a closer look at your dailyerrands and think the list through. Do you think you’ll bebetter off hiring a kid to mow your lawn? Or get a nanny tohelp you with the toddler? Don’t be harsh on yourself by

doing everything. If you don’t like the price tag on services,why not barter them instead? Cook and prepare meals for afriend in exchange for their babysitting or negotiatehousehold chores with other members in the house.

We can sometimes get stuck with the philosophy of “givebefore take” and tend to neglect our own needs in the face ofneeds of others. Think “win-win” instead. So do not take upevery little task in the house and at work or try to become aperfectionist as this may hamper your overall well-being andhappiness.

Always remember, “Good enough is the new perfect.” –

Becky Beaupre Gillespie and remember that balance is thekey.

Give a mother/farther, sister/brother or friend a boost thismonth by bringing them with you to your next Step into Lifesession or by surprising them with a Step into Life gift card. AStep into Life gift card is a perfect idea for this Mother’s daywhich is just around the corner!





Terri’s storyStep into Life Oakleigh Victoria

It all began in July 2010. I weighed myself one day and wasdisgusted. I was 120kg. Not my heaviest mind you. A fewyears earlier I was 127kg and was even more disgusted. Idid the Tony Ferguson program lost 27kg, stopped followingthe program and put back 20kg of the 27kg lost. Hence mysecond starting weight of 120kg. So I began my own weightloss program. I took the clothes that were hanging on myexercise bike off and actually started to use the bike for whatit was meant for – exercise. I began to eat better, especiallyat work. I work at a supermarket so impulse snacking isquite easy. There’s a lot to choose from when you want aquick bite to eat.

One day in March 2011, I brought my car in for a servicenear Brandon Park shopping centre. I lived in Huntingdale atthe time. I decided to walk home. It was a 6km walk, which Iworked out later with the car. Nearly home, walking alongPrinces Hwy on the opposite side of the road to the footyoval, I noticed some people and a bunch of fit balls. So Idecided to cross the road and go check it out. I walkedaround the oval having a look at what they were doing. Itlooked like fun. I took down the number and gave it a callwhen I got home and left a message. I got a call back fromKoula and while having a chat I found out that we went to

the same high school and she knew my brother. Smallworld! We had a talk about what I’d already been doing andwhat I wanted to achieve. I decided to do a free trial sessionthe following Monday morning. That was March 28, 2011.And that’s where my Step into Life Oakleigh story begins.

My first session was “the bridge”. My muscles didn’t knowwhat hit them. But I went back for more. 3 sessions perweek. 2 cardiomax™ and 1 toneup™, which I still do today. Iwas around 106kg when I started Step into Life. Part of myexcess baggage was gone so now it was time to shed evenmore. At the start of the Biggest Loser challenge this year, Iweighed in at 91.4kg – I’m still not quite sure if the scales

were correct that day – so over 14kg lighter and the smallestI’ve been in my adult life.

My time with Step into Life has been awesome. I’ve metsome wonderful people and done some amazing things.Like just the other day, I jogged all the way around the ovalwithout stopping. First time ever. It was great, even thoughfor a moment I thought I may have needed an ambulance.But that feeling didn’t last long. I enjoy all training sessions – cardiomax™ and toneup™ and even endurit™ which I didfor the first time the other day in 36 degree heat andsurvived.

I’ve had a few minor injuries during my time. But withKoula’s help I’ve been able to work through them, recoverand continue my training. Koula knows what I can and can’t

do and when I can and can’t do them, but pushes andencourages me that bit more each session, which makesme push that bit harder.

I really enjoy hitting the training milestones. Each clubtraining club t-shirt gets smaller and smaller. My first t-shirtwas an XXL, 200 was an XL and 500 was an L. I’m nowlooking forward to achieving my 1000 club training points,along with all the sweat –rain, hail or shine. Bring on themedium t-shirt!

Recently I’ve been told by people that I’m “skin & bones”and “tiny” which I’m far from, but absolutely love the

compliments. It makes me more motivated. Step into Lifehas changed my life. I’m the fittest and healthiest I’ve beenin over 15 years and I intend to continue this lifestyle formany years to come.
