Raechelle Chase Back On Track: Priorities & Opportunities
The last couple of weeks have been full on, though who am I kidding, it's pretty much always chaos around here! Last week we did a photo shoot for my ‘Chasing The Dream’ clothing, which I’m really happy about. Thank you to everyone who is supporting me by purchasing items from my on-line store. You check it out at http://www.raechellechase.com/shop.html
During the month of February, when you purchase a hoddie, while stocks last you will also receive a free-signed Fitness Life magazine, which features 13 pages about my diet training and heaps of other stuff as well as a RC drink bottle. And yes, we ship worldwide!
I am so excited & truly humbled to have a 10 page ‘Super Model’ feature in the current issue of Physique Magazine in Dubai. You can check it out on the following link http://www.physique-mag.com/emag/feb2012/
My children went back to school on Tuesday. All 3 attend a school that goes right from kindergarten through to year 13, so this year Annaliese is in year 9, Carlos year 2 & it would be Dior’s 1st day in year 1.
So as any parent is, I was so excited for Dior to start her first day of school on Tuesday. But on Monday night I woke up during the night feeling super sick, which quickly progressed into a full on tummy bug. I was throwing up for the rest of the night. I thought I might die! (Ok that’s a bit extreme, but I felt so awful) in the morning I was determined to do my best to take the kids to school, how could I possibly not be there to hold Dior’s hand on her 1st day of school?
I was still throwing up in the morning and though I did manage to get them dressed and do her hair there was no way I was going to be able to make it more than 10 minutes without needing the bathroom. So I missed taking her and I felt so bad that morning missing her first day. I was determined to rest and feel good enough to pick them all up and I did. The truth is, it didn’t seem to bother them half as much as it bothered me, they didn’t really mind if I was there or not. But as parents, these are moments we wish we didn’t miss.
Which brings me to my next little dilemma. I love competing; it makes me feel like I have a life outside of being a mother. At the same time I feel like I need to take some time to just enjoy my children, like being a mother helper in their classrooms and going on class trips, stuff like that. I know it doesn’t last long before your coming anywhere near their friends & classrooms is the last thing they want to happen, so I want to cherish the time now that they want me by their side.
At the same time I love competing, but it takes a lot of time physically and just as much if not more mentally to get ready for a show, so I have been feeling a little torn deciding weather or not I should compete in The Melbourne Pro. After weighing out the pro's and con's and thinking about the lack of balance that competing would naturally cause, I have decided not to compete in The Melbourne Pro this year. I am really enjoying training without the regimented diet, and being able to have a more relaxed approach to my daily routine.
There will always be competitions and I will look to competing in the states later in the year. For now in addition to everything else I have going on, I am now signed up to be a mother helper twice a week at my children’s school, hopefully I wont regret that too quickly LOL...
I am training hard and keeping my diet 80% clean as I’m still coming to the FitX in Melbourne and I will be at the show & the Expo and then I will be spending Monday doing a photo shoot with the gorgeous Erin Stern which will be a lot of fun.
Remember, It’s so important to surround yourself with positive roles models, they promote greatness in everyone they encounter.
"Those that are truly great, make you believe you too can be great"
Have an awesome week xoxo
