The MYSTERY woman

I love this pic! It was sent to me by a friend she was on the beach in La Jolla, California where there were several events happening at the beach that day.

One of which was a marathon spinning event. A fundraiser with stationary bikes set up on the grass, a stage and everyone was getting ready to ride for the next few hours.

A beautiful day, sunny and bright. This woman here is wearing a ZsuZsi suit, I recognized it right away,(so did my friend who snapped this shot) as I made it. My purpose for every suit I make is that it functions like a sports bra, just doesn't look like one.

What is kind of fun is that the women who have been wearing ZsuZsi suits have started to figure out that they are awesome for not only water activities, but for great fun while doing other active/athletic activities.

So this shot proves just that!

To our mystery woman, go girl go!

Julia - Triathlete

This is Julia who excels at ALL that she does.

She is an amazing triathlete, Mom of two boys and in her career she is breaking ground from the classically trained physical therapist to above & beyond traditional concepts by working with new philosophies that help pro athletes/athletes continue to excel at their elite level. She has even integrated part of those concepts into her personal training regime and I have no doubt she will be top ranked in the World this year in triathlon(she was last year as her first official year in triathlon placing at World Games in Australia).
Her training is so far beyond just repeat mileage to get to her excellence. I repeat, no other athlete I know is doing what she is doing to get there, and that is why she will continue to flourish. There is something to be said for not doing the same thing everyone else is...just because that is way everyone is doing it. I think it takes massive courage to think outside the box and extend your mind to new thinking to achieve a set goal.

In fact, if you live in Southern California and want to excel, injured or not, doesn't matter because she can move you past injury, I strongly suggest training with a new mindset on what needs to be accomplished besides just swim/bike/run for triathlon. She literally can assist you in taking you to your highest level (if that is what you are seeking athletically).
Send me an email and I will forward her info ZsuZsi@sportkini.com

This is a great shot of her in her Sportkini, running on the beach with a little stretch.

Any of the gear we women use for our athletics, CANNOT fail us, and neither can our swimsuit. PERIOD. We need our minds to be focused on our activity, not on the constant 'fret' of wondering where our suit is or is not.

WE love you Julia for living "ALL OUT", and looking fab at the same time! you go girl!!

THS IS CRAZY-AWESOME!

THIS IS CRAZY!!!!

Yes you are looking at Lizzy running --in the snow--into freezing--WATER!!
OMG! did you catch a glimpse of the SNOW COVERED MOUNTAINS of VERMONT in the background?!

This is the part I fully enjoy! Connecting with women around the planet who are living full out! (and might I say, she is wearing a SPORTKINI doing it!!)


Lizzy is from Vermont and she wrote:
I made the front page of the local paper too, will get it to you somehow. The suit is killer, I just love it. Me and my team members from the hospital I work at raised $3400 for cancer, to stay locally at our cancer center for support, teaching, caregivers etc. Total take was approximately $20,000. That's the best part. Thanks, you are a doll. Keep sewing! Lizzy

Love it!

do you have a DREAM? 2 quick thoughts for today

Today I find myself wanting to write about lots of things that I have been experiencing lately.

I broke it down to 2 simple thoughts for today.

I have written before how being an Entrepreneur is an amazing journey, you REALLY have to be committed to stick it out through all the hi high's and lo low's...it is a test of will, belief, perseverance and tenacity. The ultimate test is how to believe when maybe not all the 'signs' seem to be saying 'YES' to you.

Again, I am gonna quote another amazing speaker I heard this week (this is fun for me to pass it on!) : "You can have a list of goals that you are working on and achieving BUT do you dare to have a DREAM?" -John Leslie Brown

This little question rattled my cage! Being a self professed 'goal setter' I was challenged by this very question....do I dare to DREAM? whoah. Am I living, being, and moving toward a bigger DREAM, or just staying focused with my head down on the next goal?

I am still marinating on that one....I love it so much.

My other thought provoker of the day:
Next time you consider what you are being paid per hour, think about this concept in regards to being paid per hour:
"Your focus should be instead of getting paid by the hour....you get paid by the VALUE you bring to the hour"-John Leslie Brown

I will posting some NEW PRESS and how ZsuZsi athletes are doing next post.

How to know when it is time to move on

SOOOO you are probably wandering why I have chosen this cute photo of a glass of milk and cookies? I will tell you why.

First a glass of milk and cookies represents to me comfort food. Ahhhh....love sitting down to this little delight. (I am a fitness person with a few vices, this is one of them) but sometimes that comfort food gets in the way of my true goals and intentions of staying at a peak performance weight and keeping my body fed of high octane fuel for my engine!

For today, I decided to continue to review my notes from Les Brown's class and I found a quote: "when it is time to move on, and you don't, then life will move on you".

Seriously, isn't that true? Yup, it is.
When you are stuck, or know you are doing and or being something that doesn't resonate with your soul (like a career path you are currently in that you don't love, or continuing to try to make something work, when it just isn't...forcing it)....if you really watch what happens....LIFE will move in if you don't take the initiative to move yourself.

When LIFE moves in, then you must respond, because most of the time, if LIFE hadn't moved in, and the situation did not receive a curve ball, you would have stayed stuck....good example, getting let go of a job you just didn't like...but you did it for the money, or it used to serve you, and maybe you changed, and it just became something you loathed instead of something you loved.


When life happens, the immediate question that comes to my mind is, now what?
If you can BREATHE for a second, and start to look for the gems in the situation...
Now is an opportunity to step aside and become aware and examine what is next for you. A time to reflect on the new possibilities that are here, reach inside and find your passion, and take a new path...a fork in the road has arrived...how fun!

This means change and adventure! A lot of peeps are afraid of change...but if you have the attitude that change is good for the growth of "me"...then hipp hipp hooray!
