My exercise plan

I am putting my daily exercise schedule down on paper.

Monday - Zumba 9.20am

Tuesday - Pump 9.20am and Step at 11.00am

Wednesday - Sh'Bam 11am and a walk/jog at 7.30pm with my local 12wbt girls

Thursday - Body Attack 9.20am and Pump at 11.00am

Friday - Sh'Bam 9.20am.

Saturday - walk/jog at 7.30am with my local 12wbt

Sunday - Group PT session at 10am.

Now I need to fit in training for C25K and also turn my Saturday into a SSS (Super Saturday Session) ! I need to get more organised as I work until late Thursday and Friday nights and Saturday afternoons. So by Saturday morning I am struggling with energy and could easily sleep the morning away. I also want to add some swimming and RPM classes into the mix !

I am starting the C25K and I won't stop until I am done !

This time I am determined to finish the C25K (couch to 5km) program. I want to be able to run 5km without stopping. I really want to be able to do it by April 1st when the Run For The Kids Fun Run is on.  So I started day 1 today and will continue with it until I reach my goal :) 

Pre Season Task 6 - Kitchen Makeover

I am pleased to say my cupboards, fridge and freezer are looking great and I don't need to throw anything out. Yahhh me! Not one ounce of junk food has entered my house since starting Round 3 last year and I am determined to keep it that way.

A new month and a 20kg milestone !

20.3kg gone and never to be seen again !

Pre season task 4 - Gear Up

This task is mega easy this round. I have everything I need to make my journey smooth and easier.

A few of my favourite items -

• Mish's books and calender, I use them daily.
• iphone - I love the fitness apps and also my music on it, aswell as keeping up to date with my many FB groups !
• runners.
• HRM - I have a cheapie atm but I am upgrading hopefully next week when I reach my goal of 20kg lost.
• gym membership (small blue wrist band at the bottom of the pic.) I seriously love the gym :)
• In the folders are some recipes from last round.

Pre season task 3 - Take Control - Set your Goals

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

In no particular order my Round 1 2012 goals are -
-to lose at least 10kg
-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
-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.
