Blyth woman earns two UFE golds, one bronze
Blyth’s Carla Pawitch earned two
gold Ultimate Fitness Events (UFE)
medals and one bronze over the
weekend in Cobourg, but her
professional card still eludes her.
Pawitch competed in her first
event in 2017 and has been steadily
improving and adjusting her goals
accordingly ever since. Over the
weekend in Cobourg, Pawitch earn-
ed gold medals in the fitness model
and fitness categories for the 35-45
age division and a bronze medal
finish overall in the fitness model
category.
The overall bronze finish, Pawitch
said in an interview with The
Citizen, was especially rewarding,
considering she was up against
women who could be in their teens
all the way up to their 40s.
Pawitch has been working
doggedly for the past two years to
whip her body into shape for the
fitness model competitions, which
demand intense discipline.
In 2017, Pawitch said she would
typically wake up at 5 a.m. and work
out between three and four hours per
day, all while holding a full-time
job, keeping a home and raising
several children.
Because of the intense
requirements and lifestyle Pawitch
has been living for the past two
years, she said it was especially
rewarding to come back from the
competition with some medals
around her neck, especially those of
the gold variety.
While the path has never been
easy for Pawitch, she said this year’s
lead-up to the event was especially
challenging due to an illness that
landed her in and out of the hospital
for the better part of six weeks.
Because of that time away from
training, the journey was made much
more difficult and that led to a
number of very serious
conversations between Pawitch and
her coach about her hanging it up
this time around.
However, Pawitch said she was
always raised to finish whatever she
started and, while it was difficult at
times, she soldiered on and worked
towards last weekend’s event.
For Pawitch, there is very little
rest, as she’s already working
towards her next event, which is in
June at the national level, rather than
the provincial level.
Because of Pawitch’s gold medal
finishes, she earned national
competition status for the next two
years, so she looks forward to taking
a break from the UFE events and
focusing on expanding her national
profile. She expects she won’t
compete in another UFE event until
2021.
To work on her performance, she
eagerly awaits the judges’ report
from the weekend’s event. She
placed third overall in the event over
the weekend, but only the event’s top
performer earned her professional
card. Pawitch has been told,
however, that just 0.4 points
separated her in third place from the
eventual overall winner.
Pawitch anticipates that the report
will be a road map to success and
point out areas in which she could
improve for a better score.

A self-loather
(Thomas Brooks, “The Crown and Glory of Christianity,
or, HOLINESS, the Only Way to Happiness”, 1962)
“They will loathe themselves for the evil they have done and for all their
detestable practices.” Ezekiel 6:9
True repentance is a daily turning of the soul further and further from sin--and
a daily turning of the soul nearer and nearer to God and holiness.
True repentance includes...
a true sense of sin,
a deep sorrow for sin,
a hearty loathing of sin, and
a holy shame and blushing for sin.
A true repenter strives for...
a clean head, a clean heart;
a clean lip, and a clean life.
To repent is for a man to loathe himself, as well as his sin.
Is this easy for man, who is so great a self-love, and so great a self-exalter,and
so great a self-admirer--to become a self-loather? To repent is to cross sinful
self, and to walk contrary to sinful self.
True repentance lies in a daily dying unto sin, and in a daily living unto Him
who lives forever.
“Then you will remember your evil ways and wicked deeds, and you will
loathe yourselves for your sins and detestable practices.” Ezekiel 36:31
