WOW, what can I say about today except for WOW. I went to bed last night with the intention of getting up at 5.30am to get some extra exercise in today. Well, as I half expected, the warmth of my bed kept me there, tucked in nice and tight and I didn’t get up until…
12WBT
Distorted visions of myself
Well pre-season task #8 is done and dusted. I have weighed myself, measured myself and taken the dreaded photos of myself in my underwear. The two things I found the hardest out of all that was to actually ask my partner to take the photos of me, which I had to ask I just couldn’t…
So a new week is about to begin
Oh the excitement I am feeling right now is quite indescribable. I got my nutrition and workout plans for the official kick-off of the 12 Week Body Transformation program this afternoon. Lots of exciting meals, that have been all worked out for me, all I have to do is cook them. Again, can I say…
