Goals for 2012

I am so looking forward to 2012, don't get me wrong, 2011 was a great year but I can feel it in my waters that 2012 is going to be totally amazing  :-D

I have been thinking of my goals for my Round 1 2012 of 12wbt for a week or so now and also for the rest of 2012. I am really excited to start being able to achieving them.

In no particular order my Round 1 2012 goals are -
-to lose 15kg
-to move from obese to overweight
-to fit comfortably in size 14 clothes
-to compete is a few fun runs
-continue with the 'learn to run program'.
-run 1km of the athletics track non stop.
-run 5km non stop (I have told my son I will be able to do this for the fun run 'run for the kids' in April)
-continue to not have Coca Cola and chocolate
-improve on fitness tests
-take a photo of myself each month
-Try an aqua class at the gym (this was a goal from last round and I didn't do it !)
-At the gym ride the bike for 45 minutes without stopping.
-Attend an RPM class once per month (this was a goal from last round and I only did 1 class)
- up my water intake each day. This can still be a struggle to remember, but I'm getting better.
-no longer need my ventolin inhaler (except in emergencies). I am definitely using it less.

My goals for the whole year are -
- to lose another 15kg after Round 1
-To move from overweight to healthy weight range
-to fit into size 12 clothes
-to run 10km non stop

The year that was 2011

2011 has been a great year for me, especially the 2nd half ot it. Some major highlights were -

Jeremy started highschool.

Hollie has more confidence to visit the orthodontist without complaining.

Callum's behaviour improved drastically from August.

We went on a family cruise to the South Pacific for 7 nights.
The kids had many sporting and academic achievments.
I joined 12wbt.com - BEST decision ever and the best money I have ever spent !

After the round 3 finished I have still been ging along nicely, I have had a few gains (TTOTM/xmas) but overall I am happy with myself. I am still exercising every day. I am still enjoying myself and challenging myself. I have joined an 'eight week challenge' with some like minded people. Their support and motivation has been amazing.

I was keen to finish 2011 at at 20kg loss and start pre season as close to 80kg as I could, but unfortunately that hasn't happened. I'm cool with that though. I weighed in this morning for the last time in 2011 at 88.2kg. So overall that is a loss of 17.3kg since starting my journey. So now my goal is to get as close to 85kg as I can to start off the pre season, and then be as close to 80kg as I can to start the official season. Then during Round 1 2012, I hope to lose at least 12kg.

 

woahha I can't believe the 12wbt is officially finished !

EEKKK I can't believe I am making this photo public, but I guess it makes me more accountable !

However, I'm not nearly finished, in fact I am only getting started !

I have lost 16.7kg, 40cm from all over my body.
 My fitness has improved, I can now -
run 1km in 7.52.
do 14 push ups
do a wall sit for 25 seconds.

I can now fit into size 18 clothes, almost 16.

I am continuing this new lifestyle of mine and I will be signing up to the 12wbt.com again in January. Before that kicks off on the 16th, I want to lose 8kg more. And then for the 12 weeks I am aiming for 15kgs.  woo hoo

Now I wish I wore my 'after' clothes as my 'before' clothes also !
