Task number 2 Setting my plan

Ok this one is a tad difficult cos apart from lose weight and get a bit fitter I don't have any long term goals so will have to think about this one.

I was realistic and said I want to lose at least another 2 kilos in the next month and will go about that by hitting the gym 3 days a week as well as riding my bike and most of all eating cleanly. But after this I pretty much guessed I wanted to be able to run 2km non stop by 3 months time seeing that I am not allowed to run yet and may not be able to for about another month. 6 months I said I wanted to ride my bike at least 60km non stop along paths and stuff because that is alot of fun :). But 12 months will depend on how well I go for the other goals. I will really have to sit down and think about these goals I think and maybe talk them over with the fiance' (he is my sounding board).

Hmm a toughy. Might even ask Mark my trainer to help me set some goals that I will agree that I really want to do for me not just because someone has said so (I am very stubborn like that).

I hope all you guys are having better luck at this task than me. Have a great day.

No more excuses

OK still on the no more excuses theme. I found a few more excuses I used and actually thought one was rather weird. I will share it with you.

I don't want any male attention so I will just stay fat.

OK that is my weirdest one yet but I guess it was true as my self esteem was completely depleted from ex asshole and self confidence was non-existent I found being fat was a heck of alot easier. No more plus I have a gorgeous ring on my finger to make them run a mile if I don't want that attention now. Not that it has happened just yet and maybe never will but as an 18 year old apparently I was hot.

Also this week I am doing well on the exercise front. I did zumba last night, training session this morning plus Pilates this morning. I have Pilates tomorrow and training on Friday but I am going to make a super Sunday. I am going to go to zumba at the gym then yoga straight after it oh and walking with the awesome ladies of north Brisbane for a lovely 7km as well. I may be buggered that day but hey it won't kill me.

My new motto is it won't kill me and JUST DO IT. Omg did I need that this morning but hey I went and feel better for it. My knee controls are getting better and apparently control prevents injury so I just hope I get enough control by the end of the 12wbt that I can run.

Then I am off to work for 4 evenings this week lets just hope I shake a kilo off this week :).

All in all I just want to say I am on top of the world and buggered all at the same time.

preseason Task 1

Ok task 1 NO MORE EXCUSES. I will vow that I will fit exercise into my daily routine and succeed. I need this and like others I have read the number one for me is too busy or I have to work. No more. I have been pretty good lately so hopefully I can just continue this. I have been exercising before work but have been slacking off lately. I will own up to it. Lazy me slipped out yesterday and having a cold is NO excuse. I will be riding a few kilometers today though on my new bike :).

Watching Michelle's video this morning was very inspirational and made me go Oh wow I really did do that to myself. No more I need to get fitter and healthier and most of all more POSITIVE. I find myself sometimes whinging and whining about everything. I often stop myself and say to myself there are ALOT of people worse off than you so shut it and keep going.

So all in all no more excuses and time to look at life in a positive light and taking it by the balls and actually live it. Nathan and I spoke about many active things we can do together and I can tell you now our relationship is stronger than ever. He is my rock and supports me 100%. I will succeed and be a size 10-12 by the end of the 12 week challenge.

BRING IT ON.

Day 4

Yesterday found out I have to do pilates 2-3 days a week plus the 3 days of gym a week and 4 work shifts this week man am I going to be a busy little bee. I felt overwhelmed yesterday and terrified that this is how my life will be when I am fit and healthy = hectic. I am not very good with hectic really it feels like I am being pushed to do things and one thing about me is if I am pushed I tend to dig my heels in.

Lets just hope tonight isn't hectic and completely controllable. On a side note I am completely enjoying my herbal teas and keeping up the 2 litres of water a day :). Now to keep up the intensity of exercise. Why is it I already feel like I need a holiday and we haven't even started yet lol.

I keep telling myself I can do this, I can do this. Oh and make my mum eat her own words :P

Have a nice day everyone.

Day 3

Feeling really flat today but have been doing the housework. Might pop an exercise dvd on later and smash it out about 2 hours before bed then I might sleep better.

I feel really proud of my cooking efforts last night. It was yummy and even the man liked it :). Took quite a bit of preparation though. I can see it now I will be having 1 cooking day where I cook all the meals for the week and then freeze them. Then it can be convenience for the rest of the week. Note to self buy more storage containers.

All in all a very boring day. Will add more later if something exciting happens but i doubt it. Head feels cloudy and bleh :(. But body feels pretty good apart from my lower back from yesterday but nothing too evil. Can't believe its only 4 days til preseason. BRING IT ON.

Day 2
Work last night was extremely shit. I came home through a tanty at Nathan and sat up talking with him til midnight. Poor man has to work a 12 hour day today too. He said he couldn't let me go to bed insane.

I slept well but not enough. Went to the gym this morning and smashed out 6km on the bike and a training session that is going to kill my butt muscles later.

Ok plan for today Rip some more Dvds onto our new media box and find some wedding stationary and actually order it. As some of my relatives are starting to ask are they even invited. It's 6 months away people gees give me a little time to kick Nathan's butt into gear to give me his list. Next step of today is to go grocery shopping and cook Nathan a meal out of the no more excuses cookbook (this will be fun).

Oh and chillax somewhere in that today too :).

Colin has piped down a little since yesterday so on a win with him. I'm eating clean today and plan is to also smash out another 6-10km tomorrow. That's if I can move after today's session lol.

My entries may be boring but I am putting it out there :).
