Read More12WBT pre-season task #6 – Kitchen makeover
So my task for pre-season task #6 – Kitchen makeover was to empty out my kitchen cupboards and the fridge of all my junk food and processed food. Food that I wouldn’t and couldn’t be eating on the 12WBT. Things like chips, chocolate biscuits, biscuits in general, juices and cordials and food that is just in general high in calories and fat and low in any real nutritional value. I have to say that this was a pretty easy task for me. I don’t really have a lot of junk food...
Read More12WBT pre-season task #5 – Say it out loud
My commitment is to lose 19.6kg over the 12WBT program and to increase my fitness, by exercising 6 days a week. I will complete the C25K program (or the Run Fat B!tch Run program – undecided which still) and to be swimming 2km in 60 minutes by the end of the 12 weeks. I am committed to do the work to get me there. I’ve gone into a lot more details about my goals on my blog http://www.currently-clueless.net/12wbt-pre-sea… and this year, this time, IS MY TIME AND I WILL DO IT!!!...
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 MoreAnother round of 12WBT
Last year I flirted with the 12WBT challenge (12 Week Body Transformation Program), joining up for Round 1. I made it through pre-season and I made it into the first week or two and then I let everything slide. I can’t really explain why I let it slide, except to say that I was in a very bad headspace for a lot of last year, with everything starting right around the time of my birthday and the official beginning of Round 1. Yes, these are excuses I know this, but I also think it’s a...
Read MoreDistorted 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 put the camera anywhere to get a full photo of myself; and secondly to actually then look at the photos once they had been taken. I swear to god, I didn’t realise that was how I looked. When I look at...
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...
Read MoreI really am my own worst enemy
So the second task that we have to do for the 12 week challenge is to sit down and really think about the excuses we make to not exercise, to not eat right. This is one of the hardest things I have ever had to do. I thought physio was hard, but this, no this was harder. I have really stuck with the exercising excuses. I am going to do my list of excuses about eating too, but I think that could be an even longer list. The thing that I have realised though is that I don’t let others...
