Welcome to my update as I start my next journey through my challenge to lose weight and get fit. With the guidance, encouragement and support of the 12WBT, Round 4.
I have started off super motivated on my return from the Round 3 finale in Sydney, what a weekend I had, I enjoyed my participation as a volunteer at the finale. It gave me the opportunity to see what the finale work out was all about but also feel part of a team, by helping set up and handing out water to the participants. I got to meet lots of fantastic people and very inspirational people and their stories, about there journeys along the way. To end the day with a lovely cocktail party in Sydney. It was all fantastic.
Other highlights of my weekend were meeting relatives and friends who I havent seen for a long time.
I came home motivated, even got up and went for a morning walk. (Well that lasted all of one day), but the intention was there.
I struggle through the menu plans with the lovely menus and recipes supplied, but there are just some things I am not able to eat, so time is necessary to sit and reorganise my menu for the week. It is time consuming but necessary to have a smooth running week, from this comes a grocery list, which then enables me to have a variety of healthy food in the fridge and cupboard. Opposed to the box of chocolates that came with my flowers last week and had EAT ME !! all over them. I did eat them but not all at once, and not all in one day, they were consumed over a week in rations. But I had so much enjoyment from them, and reminded me of the person who had given them to me throughout the week.
I get there in the end.
Now I face a new challenge, a new job, and with that the new location of work, new routines, new hours at work, I will have to become very organised during the weekend to make sure my next week runs smoothly. I will have to change the times i exercise around my work etc. This all takes time to get used to again until the routines settle down.
I Will not give up.
But without 12WBT I probably wouldn't have had the confidence to get in there and apply for the new job that I am about to start, new challenges to tackle and JFDI attitude will keep me going and see out the end of the year of 2012. SO I thank Mish and her 12WBT for the support and encouragement from the program to move forward and prepare me for further challenges and not to give up.
Next
Ready for the xmas challenge.
