Just a quick note to say i hit my goal today!! However am erring on the side of caution by saying my weight is 55.5kg, it was 55 on scales, but fluctuated a bit on second weigh in...
off snorkelling now, taking my friend to see some of our beautiful reef, good news! totally sticking to plan whilst my mate is visiting... went for walk last night, did abs, weights and went for run this morning it's ALL GOOD!

Unfocused
Hey all,
Well....coming in to the FINAL week, how exciting! I am so stoked i have signed up for another program because time is really starting to lag here. Now that we've made our decision to leave I just wanna go! Alas, we can't, we still have to SAVE heaps more money before we go anywhere!
Anyhow, i figure being on another program will help the time fly by, if the passed 12 weeks have been anythig to go by.
I have started doing research in to uni's and degrees etc I am suddenly being driven towards completing a sports/health science degree majoring in nutrition, I have found a really good course at the Southern Cross uni, it'll be interesting to see where in fact we end up. However unsure i may be of that, i am totally sure that i have found my niche and now really want to go ahead and start studying, however it will still be a little while down the track.... hohum would LOVE to start next year! I have to go for mature age entry before I can do anything anyway, and the science componets of such a degree are huge. I imagine it would be a lot like high school, learning a lot of stuff you don't really need to know... a means to an end. I can't remember being very strong at science at school, im not that much of a logical thinker, however i know i am totally capable of achieving whatever i put my mind to.
The problem i am faced with, is finding somewhere we would like to live for the duration of my studies, where Dan could happily fish his days away... an area that is not too over populated... so cities are out... i've looked in to the Darwin courses however they don't really seem to meet my requirements, i'm about to start looking at the QLD uni's, at least that way i'll have a bit of an idea of where may be a nice place to end up. If anyone has any advice it would be greatly appreciated!
okies, will check in tomorrow, i hope everyone is doing well.

Frustrated
Hey,
Sigh ~ i am so frustrated. I just want to quit smoking so badly, i know it sounds like it's an easy thing to do because it's so stupid, but i try and fail and try and fail... it's really stressing me out, which is making me smoke twice as much!!
Plan of attack!
1. Give up coffee- I think the ciggies and coffee are going hand in hand, it wouldn't suprise me if most of my cravings were actually caffeine cravings and not cigarettes at all! Replace with green tea... as it is supposed to be SO AMAZING!
2. Keep reading motivational stuff
3. Get on top of cardio - i have been avoiding cardio as i've been so tired. Done it every morning this week, but haven't done anything at night! Missed this morning as i was just being plain lazy... have to be honest (did my weights though)
i'm of to read about about caffeine now... will be back in full force tomorrow.

FATIQUED!??
Hi all,
Well the end is getting VERY close.... WOW!
I feel bummed, feel tired, cranky and definately DO NOT feel like expelling any more energy!
It's the damn ciggies... going to kick them tomorrow once and for all, i have had a gut full of feeling like this! I am having WICKED sugar cravings - sucking on DD lollies like you wouldn't believe....hmmm wonder how a bar of chocolate would go down....?? terribly, it's ok, i know!
I will go for a walk tonight regardless, maybe it will make me feel better... maybe not also... maybe i will feel worse, but since i feel so awful anyway there probably isn't any worse so i may as well go eh?! :-)
My poor boss... geeze he puts up with some awful mood swings from me... poor guy...he calls me because he thinks i will cheer him up and he must get off the phone wondering why he bothered lol never mind tomorrow is a new day! Send me all your positive energy vibes!!
I worked out this morning.... but i felt tired the whole way through it, and i am feeling hungry A LOT, i finish my breakfast and i could go another bowl of oats! I might e-mail SUe for some suggestions.... if anyone can think of anything at ALL that will help i'd love to hear it!
I am so proud of you Amanda, Erica and Bella you are all doing SO well! We make a great team :-)
Query??
do you guys want to create a blog together that we can all use?? It would save us all logging on to 5 different pages?? If so, i will need everyones e-mail address....and the new blog will be added onto the main dashboard that you see every time you log in, so when you log in you could write on either blog.It could be our own little blog for the next tranformation!? What do you think?? ANyway... i will not be offended if you're not keen! It was just an idea.By the way!! Dan agreed to let me travel with DB's! Yeehaa i am so stoked! It's the highlight of my week!
Keep up the good work... can't wait to catch up

Week 11 Day 74
Starting Weight: 62.5kg
Weight today: 57kg!!!
Wow, i feel great! Feel fit light and incredibly healthy...besides the cigarettes, just can't seem to shake them . Still working on getting a grip on alcohol consumption and staying on top of food though... so one thing at a time. Surely i won't be too far off being ready!!
I got new shoes, these ones are nice and light and perfect for running YAY! Can't wait to go out and have a jog! My polar heart rate monitor is playing up so i had to send it away to get fixed! BUGGER! I love it so much! never mind, i'm sure i'll get by without it@!
Yesterday was a hard day... i tried to quit smoking... it just did my freekin head in. I started to wonder about everythig else in my life... question my decisions...wonder what i'm doing... geezus.. i don't mind making life hard for myself!
Anyway, feeling pretty good, can't wait for the end of the 12 weeks, i'm looking forward to my photo shoot SO much! I really hope i get picked for the AWF mags body blitz... i want the 12 month subscription lol
anyway.... i guess it doesn't matter if i don't... life will go on. i'll just have to try AGAIN!
take it easy

BIG BLISTER
Hi everyone,
as bboring as this may seem I tohught i might share this with you as the irony is just plain weird. I snuck out the other day and bought a new pair of running shoes ... even though i know i'm saving for a holiday and to pay for my next body blitz, but my old ones were dead so i though 'damn it i need them i'm going to buy them!" , i skipped around the house pretty quickly when i got home so dan wouldn't notice them, whilst trying to think up a logical way to explain how i'd just spent $155.00 on a new pair of shes after we'd had a huge d n m regarding our savings - i then bolted out the door.
WEEEELLL...it certainly doesn't pay not to be upfront i got a frikkin huge blister for my troubles! So, couldn't do cardio this morning or last night! I woke up deermined not to let it beat me, donned some sox, warmed up on my treadmill in my sox and dead lower body work out and abs... in my sox. So at least i feel better for doing something! I am so stoked, once upon a time i would have used having a blister as an excuse to slacken off!
ANyway, the soe store swapped them for me (bless them) i saved $15.00 on my new pair, then had to go and spend $13.00 on a blister pack so i can try and be mobile!
Moral to the story.... i'm a bloody wally...lolthe way the events unfolded cracks me up!
I hope it's better so i can go for a jog in my new shoes tomorrow!

ON FIRE!
Well, i am proud to say that i am absolutely on fire! Never felt so good in my entire life! I went out on Friday night and everyone was commenting on how good i looked and my weight loss...it sent me to the top of the world. In the past when this has happenned it has always seemed to make me slack off (u know u tell yourself you've done so well blah blah blah...) anyway this time it has just catapulted me into putting out 110% to get the best results ever. I've tweeked my diet - cut out almost all dairy (besides cottage cheese) , all bread... gone to sweet potato instead and have been eating loads more light food like tuna and fish and am totally limiting my red meat intake. I feel awesome woohoo....bring on the end! Also, whilst i'm on such a roll, will only be taking one week off after the end of body blitz and will be starting another 12 week program...I WANT NOTICABLE ABS....and goddammit i won't stop until I have them :-)
Yesterday i had a day off with Dan and he offered me a beer (i knoooooooow...but he can't help himself!!!!) so anyway, if it's to be it's up to me...i firmly said no thank you, reminded him that i only have a couple of weeks before i don my hot new bikini for my final pics and he said " You know what, I am so proud of you, you are doing so well" and you know what, that meant more to me than anything else in the whole world. Felt all warm and huggy and stuff. all tofether now "ohhhhhhhhhhh" i know too cute!
So, there it is, that's me...fighting fit, working hard and trying like hell to avoid the flu Daniel has just come down with! It just can't happen to me... not now... not when i am so close!
Looking forward to Mondays weigh in!! I think i am going to hit my goal this week...if not i'll be getting verrry close!
Take it easy

HOME
Helloooo
I pulled pin on my trip and did an impulsive flight change and came home yesterday! Supposed to come home on Sat, but it's so NICE to be back. Back in my happy 'routined' world!
Good news, i thought due to some slip ups whilst i was away i may have piled some weight on...guess what! i come home 1/2 a kilo lighter! Woohoo... i know it should have been more, but i am SO not wasting my energy beating myself up because I still almost completed my entire weeks work outs whilst away... and for that i am extremely proud of myself. It would have been so easy to use being away as an excuse to get slack. I didn't and i am stoked!
Wow...only 3 and a bit weeks to go. It has gone so quickly! My results will not be as huge as I wanted, but they're still good. Happy so far and working hard to achieve a chiseled look....don't know how i'll go but will keep working my butt off to get there!

WOE IS ME
Right....reread my post and pulled myself up. Went to bed and listened to Paul McKennas "Change your life in 7 days" CD and woke up feeling like a new person!
I realised that i cant sit around waiting for me to just feel good...I have to make it happen! "Enjoy what you have whilst working towards achieving what you want"....so i feel better. I have been picking on crap food...AND I am OVER it....i'll blame Paul McKenna for hypnotising me to think i can have whatever i want! :-) i so cant!
anyway.... images of appearing in Australin Womens Fitness dominating my head....enough to put me on track!

confused
i dont know whats wrong withme - i dont know why im not feeling upbeat cheerful and positive - i dont know why i have consistantly eatnen shit all night... i just dont know why i feel down and i dont know why ive been feeling down for a long time. Like i can feel pretty good but still have this gnawing irritated thing going on. im getting sick of myself and now is just the icing on the cake. its almost like a mild depresison but its not a new thing.... its been going on for ages that's why i initially started training... and it does help.
im trying to read positive books to make positive changes....it's just like something just will not twig in my mind....i'm going to try accupuncture and maybe a naturopath anyone got any ideas??
