Fitness Test Nerves

Run one km, do a wall sit, core strength test doing sit ups, push ups and a sit and reach.

Yep that's just the fitness test!! Part of the program is to do that every four weeks to track progress. Even though I know that what I get tomorrow is my starting point and I can only get better I still feel a bit like this....

 

 

I've also already sussed out the snacks for the meal plan to see if there is any chocolatie goodness allowed and I am STOKED to see that Mish has included;

•  Mini Chocolate Fudge Cakes with Low Fat Ice-Cream, and 
• Cacao Fudge Bites  

Just to name a couple :) - and no I cannot give you the recipes you will have to join yourself if you want them.

 

I am VERY impressed that I have a meal plan that I can substitute meals out of and replace with things we all eat and that my shopping lists updates based on my customisation automatically.

 

I have tried SO many diets in my time and I really feel like this is the one that is going to make the most difference and provide me with everything I need so I can succeed in these next 12 weeks but also set about creating a permanent state of change so that my children won't be a fatty like me with poor eating habits. I am blessed to have an amazingly supportive husband for this journey who is happy to change with me and put up with my mood swings while I detox off Coke and all the other evil things I eat.

 

So to all my 12wbt'ers who are about to start this journey with me CONGRATULATIONS!!!! This is our first step to a healthier, fitter and happier self. And I cannot wait for kick off on Monday!! 

 



I've signed up for the 12wbt!!!

So, as you can see from the lack of activity here since my first post at the beginning of the year I haven't done too well thus far. I did try and write another entry that was quite funny if I do say so myself that was about the battle between my stomach and my willpower but it didn't even make it past the editing stage. So why have I returned now??

I HAVE SIGNED UP FOR THE MICHELLE BRIDGES 12WBT!!! 

I have wanted to do this for a couple of years now and a little voice has told me "You'll be fine! You don't need it and you can do this yourself!" However, I am struggling. I am a fatty, I have bad habits and I need some help to make the changes I need to make so that I can be the wife/mum & person that I want to be.

To be perfectly honest I am petrified to publish this post. The reason why is because I am not only going to publish it but I am also going to the people that I know, love and respect I am doing it and send them here to read about it all. Why does this scare me?? Because it becomes real then. I know I will become accountable to the people I care about for the outcome of this daunting task of making a change. I know that they can read this and that I will have their support along the way but I also don't want to let them or myself down. If I fail, they will know. That's they scary bit. But if it's my fear of people knowing whether I fail or succeed that will help me stay focused then I am willing to put it out there and let you all know that I AM going to do this and I WANT to change. Hopefully it won't all be this emotional (yes I am sitting here crying as I write)!!

THIS IS MY HAND SHAKE - for all the 12wbters (past and present) out there you know what I mean!

The beginning

This is me blogging about the first day of my journey to a new me.

I'm blogging as a way to keep me motivated and maybe one day someone will stumble along my blog just as I did yesterday (http://sailorvee.com/about/) and start their journey. I'm saving the world from the obesity epidemic one blogger at a time.

So where am I going on my journey I hear you ask? Well I'm going to tell you even if you didn't.

Right now I weigh 90kgs and I have 25kgs to loose for me to reach my goal weight. I have NEVER been this weight at any point of my adult life so I don't know how it will feel to be a skinny person but I think I will feel like this...

And the whole world will be amazing and filled with beautiful clothes and shoes and handbags. And I will look good in pretty dresses.


And I will be happy.

SO......
