12wbt day sixty four – I’m still alive
Aug 24, 2010 Personal
It’s true everyone, I am still alive and I am still eating healthy (mostly). Actually that’s a bit of a lie. I’ve not had the best week. I got another dose of the flu last week, and I tried to make the right decisions food wise, but I don’t think I really did. There was yoghurt – full fat and there were Subway cookies, 2 of them and god they were good.
Then we decided to go camping over the weekend, and can I say BRING ON THE CARBS. I made damper twice and loaded it up with cheese and it was delicious. The lamb stew in the camp oven was divine, and actually very healthy loaded up as it was with vegetables. The bacon and eggs for breakfast the next day was even better 
On the exercise front, well it’s been a no show all week. Trying to get the energy just to breathe was hard enough without attempting exercise. But I went back to the gym last night and had a great workout in my BodyCombat class. No gym tonight unfortunately, but back again tomorrow night, skipping Thursday for the hairdressers, then back again on Friday night to get my personal program sorted out by a personal trainer – and I can’t wait for that
On other news, I have been busily working on a quilt for my impending niece or nephew. My little sister only has 6 weeks left before the bundle of joy arrives, so I really need to get a move on with it. I have the top of the quilt all pieced and sewn together, so now I just have to piece the back, baste it, quilt it and then bind it. So a fair bit to do still, while trying to incorporate work and the gym. I need a few extra hours (and the energy to go with them) in every day. Photos of the quilt shall follow.
Good luck with weigh day tomorrow everyone. I’m certainly not looking forward to it I know 
such a bad stuff up week, but I own it. And it was still worth it for the fantastic weekend away camping.

And so begins a new journey
May 24, 2010 Personal
I have always been overweight. Or fat. Such an ugly word that is, but yes, that is me. Fat!!!!! I have always been fat! Ever since I can remember. Im not one of these people who one day woke up from being a skinny girl to thinking Shit Ive gotten fat. Nope Ive always been a fat girl. Ive also always been a girl who avoided exercise. Yes yes I can hear you all screaming now “No wonder you’re fat”. Well yeah, okay thats a good point. It isn’t any wonder. What is a wonder to me, is that I have now joined the Michelle Bridges 12 week Body Transformation program. Oh. My. God. This means there is no excuse for me anymore. It means I will need to be completely honest with not only myself, but with all the people on the forums. It means no more sneaking in a bit of a treat here and there, no more putting off exercise for one weak excuse or another. I am going to have to be responsible. Again….. Oh. My. God.
So that is enough of an introduction for now. More to post tomorrow, with a bit of background about Tina.
