Some goals I am going to achieve.

I have always struggled with my water intake, some days the only water I have is the amount I drank at a workout session. I always have good intentions of making sure I am having the correct intake but for whatever reason I don't follow through with it. However, that is going to change. Previously I would just use any bottle that is lying around the house, I have never had my own drink bottle before. So tomorrow I am going to buy myself one and I will have it with me at all times. It will be mine and noone will be allowed to even look at it. I am even going to mark on it like the one if the picture. My water intake is a major goal to achieve for me this round.

A friend posted this picture in my local CC12C group. I have joined in the fun of working on my abs. They have been negeleted for so long I know they will love this lol

I changed my mind!

A few weeks ago I said I wasn't going to join Round 2 of the 12WBT, well I ended up joining again during the week. I so need this. I need to re-focus and I need to Just FUCKING Do It! I am up to date on the pre season tasks, I have looked at my excuses, and my goals. I need to work more on the organisation but I am going to succeed. I am going to lose 10kg this round. I am going to be harder on myself and I am going to be the best version of myself. I am going to make others proud and I am definitely going to make myself proud.

                                   I am worth it!

Round 2 celebrations at the workout and finale party

So it all started on May 18th with the 12wbt mock workout for Mish to talk about the world record attempt on the Channel 10 morning show. I was there as I really wanted a chance to get up close with the woman herself as I knew that would be vitually impossible on Saturday. I am so glad I did, it was so much fun and not only did I get a photo and a signature I also got to have a little chat with Mish <3.

On Saturday I was up bright and early to pick up Lisa, Judy, Katrina and Anita so that we could head to our apartment and then off to the 'before the workout shananigans'. Melbourne really showed everyone what it can do weather wise. It rained the whole way into the city and by the time the workout started it was sunny and slighly warm!

I loved the workout, it was great to spot so many people that I have 'meet' online before and I was able to get photos with Margie and Alex from The Biggest Loser. Margie was an absolute hoot :D I thought it was great that little circuits were set up for us to move around to, I thought it was extremley well organised, I actually wish it went a little longer actually lol

It was totally awesome to be a part of the world record for so many people at one group exercise at once :) A very proud moment for Mish and her 12wbt crew and team. She totally deserves everything that comes to her.

After the workout we headed back to the apartment to have a few pre-finale drinks and we did a spot of shopping.

We then all got dressed up ready to party the night away. Everyone looked so beautiful and it was nice to see everyone in dresses/suits instead of workout gear.

The venue was spectacular and so elegant. There was a slight lack of service staff around for drinks and nibbles but overall I thoroughly enjoyed the evening. It was so much fun :) After the party we headed to the casino for a few drinks and a chat. Although we are not as young as we think as we weren't there that long. We were tired and sore and wanted our beds.

Big hugs and kisses to Jude for letting us stay in her family's apartment, it was very much appreciated xx

Photos to come :)

end of 12wbt round 1 2012

Oppsy I got slack again :/
25th April - 82.9kg  loss of 400 grams.
2nd May - 82kg loss of 900 grams.
9th May - 83kg gain of 1kg :/
So I ended round 1 2012 at 82kg, for this round I lost a measly 4.3kg

Tomorrow is WWWW and I am not sure what to expect, for once I actually haven't stood on the scales several times a day every day this last week. I have had an up and down week, with only basic exercise and some crap choices. I'd be happy with just a tiny loss this week.

In other news I WON the video blog competition on the 12wbt site. I'm now stalking the postie for my $500 worth of Natures Way products :)


So now Round 1 2012 of 12WBT has come to an end and I can say I didn't have a very good round. Actually I would go as far as saying I bombed out. I haven't checked my goals that I set but I don't think I acheived any of them.

I seem to be chasing the same 3-4kg over the last 12 weeks. My 12 weeks went like this - loss, loss, gain, loss, same, loss, same, loss, gain, gain, loss and a loss. I guess this just shows how meast up my head was this round.

However, I'm not sitting here having a pity party! It has been my own doing and I need to get myself out of it. I need to own this whole 12+ weeks and move forward if I want to be able to reach my goals.

My fitness test was completed and I have improved overall. My results for this round are-

 I know I am much fitter today than I was back in September when I started my journey. I am much more happier than ever before. I need to be accountable to me and not everyone else around me. I need to get my focus back and I need to JFDI. And I have to realise that while it is all hard work it is so very much worth it. I am worth it.

I won't be signing up to Round 2 of the 12WBT but I most certainly will be continuing my journey. I am going to be putting less pressure on myself though. Of course I do want to reach my goal weight of 65kg by September but if I don't have good weeks I am not going to punish myself.


                                                             Taken 5th May 2012- 82kg
                                                             total loss of 23.5kg.

My ultimate goal weight reward has been decided.

I am 17.9kg away from my ultimate goal of 65kg. My reward for this goal is something quite major for me. It will change me completely and make me so much more confident and happier. Obviously losing 40.5kg will do a reward in itself but I am after more than that. I'm not ready to share my reward yet, as it is quite personal but between now and September (when I plan to be at goal), I will be researching about it as much as I can. :)

What a day!

This morning I was woken by a text message from Liv (a friend from CC12C) saying 'yahoo for you'. I had no idea what she meant so she told me to check my emails and the CC12C page. After looking I found an email from Mish saying I was one of the finalists in 'making the impossible possible' video blog competition. How cool is that. I have never won one of the competitions on the 12wbt site before. And now the 12wbt members need to vote for their favourite video blog. If you want to vote for mine then you can do it here -

My next lot of news is that it is also WWWW today :) I was super nervous all last night about weighing in this morning, I didn't sleep too well because of it. My water intake wasn't as good as it could have been for the whole week, my exercise effort was only about 70% and my food was about 75% so I was expecting a small gain. Instead I was surprised with a loss of 400grams. I am taking that and running :) So I'm now 82.9kg.

News #3 is I found a dress for the 12wbt finale :) :) :) :)

I have always dreaded clothes shopping, I found it depressing and such a chore, I always just wanted to get into the shop and get out as soon as I can. I hardly ever tried anything on and 'just hoped for the best' when I got it home.

Well that has now changed. Today I had an absolute ball spending hours looking through gorgeous dresses ...and trying them all on. While some looked a bit plain or just not right, I didn't care. The fact that I actually took them off the rack from the 'normal sized' section made me feel amazing.

My choices were cut down from 6 dresses down to 2 and I still love the 'runner up' dress, however, the winning one made me feel so comfortable and on top of the world. I adore it. I might still go back for the 'runner up' just to have in my wardrobe.

Todays shopping adventure has really nudged me back into top gear to get to my goal. I can now see a clothes shopping addiction coming soon :)
