Holiday time

i've had a really crazy week! Ive been ecstatic because i have been so dedicated to my training, diet and body but feeling a bit weird as i have turned my whole life around... which is a good thing! it's just taking a little while to get used to! I'm off for a weeks holiday now, so will check in in another week!

woohoo

Week 3 - Day 16

DAY 3 as NON SMOKER - YIPPEE

Starting Weight: 62kgs
Weight Today: 60 kgs

Things are all over the place for me at the moment. One second I feel absolutely ecstatic because I can breathe properly for the first time in weeks and exercising is much more enjoyable. An hour later i feel like shaking something violently and screaming my lungs out... after about 1 minute it's calm again....

Actually i am renowned for being a drama queen.... yes i have had some horrific sngarly moments over the passed couple of days, but really this has been by far my easiest attempt at kicking my stinking foul ex smoking habit!Today has actually been one of the hardest, but I figure, since this is a total body transformation I am working on, there's absolutely no point in transforming the outside if the inside is still going to be crusty... my poor poor lungs!

My eating habits over the passed few days have been less than desirable, hense the sudden gaining of a kilo, today i'm back on track again though, so if straying for a couple of days whilst i started my new non smoking life meant keeping my sanity - i definately think it was worth it!

Thinking Ahead




I'm half way through week 2, totally over my bad days, had a 100% day yesterday which bought me back up to speed, another 100% day today so i'm loving life!

I'm only at the beginning of my challenge but i can so clearly see the end.... where i'll have my photots done, what i need to do in preparation for the final day , i want to be a monthly winner in the Australian Womens Health and Fitness Body Blitz competition and I'm going to do everything to make it happen! There's just this drive inside me that will not be happy until i get there!

Just wish i could speed things up! :-)

How am i today?? GRUMPY!

Don't know why, but struggled to sleep last night, must be because i'm trying to kick my smoking habit! Woke up feeling less than energetic, however did my workout then went for a walk/jog, thought that it would make me feel better, however it didn't, i ate breakfast and meal 2, had a protein shake and a piece of fruit, still managed to eat a handful of chicken in a biskits (cursing myself because i knew i should have thrown them out!) last night i ate two pieces of jam toast after dinner (no wonder i couldn't sleep) then to top it all off went and stole a cigarette off dan....... AS IF THAT WAS GOING TO MAKE ME FEEL ANY BETTER! Guilt had me destroying it half way through.............why do i try so hard to make myself feel so good but give in at these niggling shit temptations.

I figure i still have the rest of today to make better, will work out again tonight, eat dinner and go to bed, because the sooner i get to bed the sooner i start a brand new fresh day!

Bring it on.

Week2 Day 8 of 12 weeks:
Starting Weight: 62 kilos
Weight Today: 59 kilos

The passed week has flown, here i am saying only 11 weeks to go,, next week there'll only be 10 weeks to go ..... time flies when you're having fun!

And what fun i've been having. The last week has been like a home coming for me. I finally feel as if i have had a moment of revelation. I haven't been drinking (apart from the 2 beers I gave into for the footy on Friday night!) and it's strange but I am really enjoing being sober! Over the passed week having a clear head has allowed me to reassess my life. Yesterday I went fishing without having ANY alcohol.... something I don't actually think I've ever done before. Because I had a clear head I learned to drive our boat and just do different stuff that i wouldn't normally do, my relationship is MUCH better for it, all in all i feel like a better person, mentally, physically and emotionally.

I'm sure it isn't just an immediate thing that has happened here, i've been heading down this road for quite some time now, i have just kept taking wrong turns a long the way.

My thought of the week " Doctors should prescribe personal trainers to obese people rather than tablets"

FOOTBALL FRIDAY

It's Friday night - the derby is on, the dockers are playing the Eagles! This evewnt is absolutely HUGE in WA.

I haven't drank all week! I am tonguing for an ICE COLD BEER!!!! I am sittinghere trying to rationalise it all with myself....do i have a couple of drinks tonight knowing full well that if i do there goes the couple of drinks i am allowed to replace a FREE meal with - hmmm decisions. Then i can't decide whether i should just totally refrain from alcohol as i KNOW i will not achieve the results i desire if i give in at social occassions. Hmmm....the plan was to have my "FREE DRINKS" tomorrow night as I have a day off workouts on SUnday... hmmm i can't work out why it bothers me so much, i haven't wanted a drink ALL week, i'm afraid if i give in tonight i might be setting myself for more bad habits............Aggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh HEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPPPPP . (slap myself and get a grip) ok, rationally i can have one or two drinks tonight bt then that's it. I think i can deal with that - just wish i could be positive! going to go look at some inspirational photos to keep me in line!

Me with the crew from Sunrise infront of the WEATHER WAGON! 

Oh my god, I am back with vengeance I actually started to cry on Day 1 with sheer relief, it was like thank god I am back here, I love this so much! Imagine me, jogging away on my treadmill have a sissy fit…thinking of it cracks me up, unbelievable that people can lOve something so much but still not continue with it….hmm now I think the sky’s the limits! New mantra: “the only six pack I’m interested in is the one on my stomache”! I tell myself that everytime I’m around drinkers, and I can honestly say I don’t find it hard (yet) to restrain myself!

I’m thinking about booking my after pics ahead – figure it will be an extra thing to keep me on track if I book my flights and photos in advance (I know not even I would just go and blow that kinda money ) .

So - is this life hard - hmmmm well, it does get a little bit trying watching Dan eat heaps of yummy food, but I am actually starting to feel the difference in me, knowing what i am doing is working is enough to steer me away from temptation. I just keep visualising myself jogging down the road with noticeable abs.... wouldn't tha tbe enough to keep you eating clean!? after all i now think of food as a way of fuelling my body... and with all the exercise i'm doing i need as much good fuel as possible.

Special note:! I have been going to bed really early and eating really cleanly and my energy levels have sky rocketed@! REST is soooo important!

Week 1, Day 2 of 12 week body blitz!

Start Weight: 62 kgs
Current Weight 62 kgs
Goal: 56 kgs
- To have noticeable abs
- TO have a bikini photo shoot at the end of my 12 week body blitz program!

Good morning!

Today I am on top of the world, I am feeling very thankful for the opportunity of having tried my first 12 week body blitz, and feeling totally excited that I am having another go at it, as I learned so much from the first one that this time round I am making everything work so much better for me. For example, I now do my abs first thing as I used to get lazy when doing abs after cardio, sometimes I would skip them due to running out of time and sometimes I wouldn’t get to complete them…..also, separating weights and cardio so I can concentrate on the weights…….yeahhhh finally feel like I have it all into perspective. Thought you might like my new mantra………
“ The only six pack I’m interested in is the one on my stomach!”
Figure if that doesn’t keep me away from booze nothing will! In saying that though, I already know alcohol will not be a problem this time round as I have proven to myself once that it can’t be done! Nothings getting in my way this time!
