Random acts of exercise

I often say that 12WBT has helped build my confidence up in so many ways & here is another reason. Two members Cathy & Bella came up with a fantastic fun way of getting some exercise in. #randomactsofexercise. For someone who is shy & still puts herself down, I thought I would give it a try. I tried doing squats in the hospital lift & I did but the photo didn't work out. So I went into
BIG W into the clothing department grabbed a pair of #oneactive pants & I squatted. I got some funny looks but it didn't stop me.

Looking at my food differently

In previous rounds I have used treat meal as going out & having what I liked. We are currently in week 4 & this round I haven't felt like I have needed a treat meal. To be completely honest some of the 12wbt recipes feel like a treat to me. This doesn't mean I miss out completely. 

Tonight I felt like a piece of my mums chocolate. In the past that block of chocolate would have ended up in my tummy.

Tonight's piece was so different. I didn't just chew & swallow. I actually made that 1 piece last in my mouth. I think it was the best piece I have ever had. 

I savioud every moment. 

This round I can honestly say I'm really noticing my food & how it taste instead of just scotching it down for the sake of it.

Week 3 weigh in

 Week 3 has been another good week for me. I am really happy with this weeks loss. To some it might not seem a big number but for me it is. I have kept my nutrition 99% clean with 1 little treat during the week. In 3 weeks I am down 3.1kg & one step closer to my goal weight. 

Who is this girl?

This is officially my 15th round & each round I am learning something new about myself. We are at the end of week 3 & I have been faced with many obstacles that in the past would have lead me to have a binge session. After a really upsetting Drs appointment I had to go to the shops for a couple of things. In my mind I was ready to go & have a binge session. I needed to let go of my sadness & frustration & in the past food has been my outlet. 

No not this time, something clicked & I finally realised food wasn't the solution. I think I have always known that but for some reason this time I have seen the light. I got the few things I needed which were fruit, veggies & milk & I was out of there.

Im not someone who can be proud of myself or even acknowledge the positive changes that I see in myself but this time I looked in the mirror & had the biggest smile on my face. 

Yes I was proud of myself.

Weigh in day

Week 2 weigh in day & Im so happy to see another loss ⬇️ in 2 weeks I am down 2.3kg & feeling good both mentally & physically

Update of my round so far

I'm back for another round & I ask myself what do I want? The past few months has been a constant struggle. My depression has really taken over my everyday life (I know I can't use this as an excuse. I had lost all motivation & if I could stay in bed all day I would. As we begin week 2 I can happily say I'm right on track with my nutrition but when it comes to exercise well that is another story. My main focus was getting my nutrition on track 1st & then focus on exercising. So week 1 weigh in I saw 1.4kg loss which for me was amazing to see. I'm one who doesn't normally see big loses. Let's see how my weigh in goes tomorrow

The sky's the limit

Who would of thought a few years ago weighing 120kg that I would ever be able to climb the Sydney Harbor Bridge. Thanks to Michelle Bridges 12wbt program this became a reality. Ideally I was only going to do this when I got to goal weight but I knew I needed to do this now as a reminder of how far I have come & also I did this for my beautiful mum who due to medical reasons would never be able to do this.

My Food Journal

This round I am trying to keep a food journal. These are just some of the different variety I have eaten over the last few days. I'm not much of a master chef but the food below taste so good. It actually feels like I'm eating naughty.

Fitness test & measuring up

Yes I know it’s not the end of the world that I have gone back to square 1 with my fitness test  & measuring up but it is still very disheartening. I really have let myself go both mentally & physically. What I do know is that I need to dust myself off & try again. I have been successful in previous rounds & I can & I will be successful this round.  I normally post both fitness & measure up but I think at this stage I will keep this to myself. I have just entered it on my stats page & I’m feeling really embarrassed. I have let myself & the 12wbt crew down.
