Today is the Day

Today is the day!!!

Last week I received a free 2 month membership for Fernwood fitness club. I worked out what classes I wanted to do & today I will be doing my very 1st Box fit class. Most of this morning my head has been playing the Yes/No game. I'm full of nerves & self doubt but 

I'M GOING TO DO THIS.

My biggest fear is not being able to do this or will I make a fool out of myself. I can't let my self doubt get the better of me. Thank you Kristy for sending me the pass & to Kate for thinking of this. You both are 2 amazing caring people & I am very Grateful xx

My 3 favourite runs I'm entering

These are the 3 runs that I'm most excited about doing this year. The most exciting & rewarding will be flying to the Gold Coast to run in the 10k run. #12wbt #GCM #citytobay #mdc #mishbridges #michellebridges thanks for the running program @mishbridges there are plenty more runs I will be entering but these 3 are my favourites.

My Week 4 Exercise Diary

I did a screen shot so it doesn't look real flash

Margies Bootcamp

When I first heard that there was going to be a Bootcamp run by Margie Cummins on the Saturday of the 12wbt Summer Festival, I had mixed emotions. I was excited because this lady is one of my Inspirations. Margie has been through & knows what it’s like to be overweight.  I had a lot of negative self doubt come through.

I was scared of not being able to keep up. I knew that no one from the 12wbt family would laugh at me, but in the back of my mind I was scared because it has happened to me in the past.

I did struggle with the negativity in my head. There were times when my head was telling me to 

Stop
Donna’s no good

 I’m a joke

But with all that negativity came so many new positive memories to. I was so glad I did go. The support from Margie, her friend & all of the other bootcampers got me through it. The amazing team work that was shown was amazing. Everyone cheered each other on & it was the best feeling.

I’m so glad that I didn’t let my fear & self doubt get the better of me. I know I would have kicked myself if I had of missed it. I can happily say that I gave 110% 

Gold Coast 10k Run

In the past if a running event got cancelled I wouldn't have really cared but I have found out that 2 events in April have been cancelled. So I have decided to go 1 step further & sign up for a 10k run Gold Coast Marathon (Gold-Coast-Marathon). So I better keep up with my training. Knowing that some of my friends from 12wbt program are doing the run will be a good support. Now to keep an eye out on cheap flights & accommodation.

Week 2 Challenge

Week 2 challenge was to make friends with the stairs. In the past I would avoid using stairs at all cost. I found myself short of breathe & I didn't like feeling like I was going to die. So when I saw that this weeks task was taking the stairs I freaked out. I can happily say that I did take part & actually didn't mind it. I avoided using the lift where possible. I am now going to try & use stairs as much as possible.

My Commitment

This is my 11^th round & I am committed to getting to my goal weight of 58kg by losing 7 kg. I will stick to the program 100% & from my last round, I know I can do this. I’m going to train 6 days a week & stick to my nutrition. This round I am going to enter a few 5 & 10k fun runs.  I am also committed to showing my 12 year old niece who is struggling with food that there are so many delicious healthy options & that being active can be fun.
