Run Fat B!tch Run
If you read my blog (and according to the stats, some of you do, which I have to say is very lovely to see…) you may recall that I got quite excited last Thursday because some books I had ordered had arrived. Well I didn’t get a chance to read anything on Thursday night, but Friday night after the dishes were done (well, put in the dishwasher…) I went to bed while Mick stayed up watching something on TV and started reading Run Fat B!tch Run, by Ruth Field. Oh. My. God....
Read More12WBT pre-season task #3 – Goals
Finally I have gotten around to doing my goals. I’ve been thinking of them for a few days now trying to decide if I should set myself some small goals, or go for broke and really let loose with my goals. then I thought well I’ll wait until this week’s weigh in has been done, so that I know what weight goals I’m going to aim for from here. So here we go, these are my goals for the next month, three months, six months, twelve months and beyond. My overall goal is to lose...
Read MoreBack on the 12WBT wagon
Yes!!! Yes yes yes yes. I have signed up for the 12wbt program again and I feel better for making that change and decision already. I’ve allowed myself to slip in both my good eating and my exercising and as a consequence I have gained 4kg since finishing up back in September. That’s an extra 4kg that I now have to work hard to lose again. We have a wedding that we are going to in the middle of April (Easter Saturday to be precise) and my goal is to get down to 90kg by the wedding...
Read MoreResolutions and To Do list
So today I finally sat down and wrote up my list of resolutions for this year. I had 10 resolutions and then I thought of one more, so I thought why not – it’s 2011, let’s have 11 resolutions and see if I can actually keep them up. Every year I vaguely think of things that I am resolved to do, but I never really write them down or even try to stick to them, but this year I thought why not. Then I thought of the things I would like to do – craft-wise, so I made a list of...
Read MoreMy commitment
Task 5 of the 12WBT challenge is to publicly declare our commitment to the program. To publicly declare our intention to adhere to the goals we have set. Did I mention publicly? This is a big thing for me, because I have always kept dieting and exercise pretty close to my chest, and not made a big deal about it. I think it was my safety net, because then if (no, not if – when) I failed I wouldn’t have to face the sad looks, the pitying looks, the accusing looks and words of...
Read MoreTask #3 – My Goals for the next 12 months
I’ve been a bit slack in keeping this blog updated, what with the forums, the twitter conversations and actually trying to fit exercise in around all that, I’m finding that I need an extra few hours in every single day. It’s not a good thing. Anyway, I put up my goals for the next 12 months – both for weight and fitness – and how I’m going to achieve those goals. The version I am posting here is slightly edited from the original I posted, but that is due to...
