A good friend of mine started her own blog today ... so now I have been inspired to give mine a little more Tender Loving Care ;-)!
We start week 11 of the 12WBT tomorrow! Hasn't the time flow by fast!!
I am now ...... wait for it ........ 11.2kgs lighter than I was when I started!! WOOHOO!!! I have lost a total of 12.21% of my body weight. And with only 2 weeks to go I have ... TOTALLY fallen off of the wagon!
Red wine, cheese and chocolate all consumed this evening. Enjoyed .... but waaaaaaay too much of it consumed ;-)! This is after a week where I have hardly been to the gym thanks to a sinus and chest infection! ARGH! Why of why do I always sabotage myself. No one else has to do it - I do all the bad stuff to myself!
I've signed on for round 2 of the Michelle Bridges 12 Week Body Transformation. To get rid of the final kilos - BUT in order to succeed I am going to have to put in the hard work. STOP sabotaging - get back into my running groove and JUST F____ING DO IT!!!
So thats me ...... how are you tonight? ..... how have the past 9 weeks been for you? ;-)
See you again really, really soon. For now I am putting down the cheese knife, putting the wine glass in the sink and I am going to bed to get away from all these temptations!!!

Missing In Action - Sorry!
First off I have to apologise for my absence! I haven't been overly busy, I haven't had nothing to write and I haven't even had computer problems.
My problem is that I have had too much to write!
I am currently into week 2 of the 12wbt. Today was weigh in number two and so far I have lost ....... drum roll please ........ 2.9kgs!!
The food has been great even hubby and Master3 have been thoroughly enjoying the meals (much to my surprise!) Staying away from treats and cordial has been relatively easy. Exercising everyday is feeling very natural. But the biggest change by far is my attitude.
This is my second 12wbt. I failed the last one miserably. In part due to bad health but primarily because my head was in the wrong place. I was still breastfeeding Master1 and was up to him at least 2 times a night, both boys were sick constantly and Master1 was with me all the time as he wasn't in any type of care. I felt like I had to 'Go Hard or Go Home' ALL the time and I also felt that Master3 (2 at the time) would never eat any of the meals and that hubby wouldn't like it so I was trying to cook 3 different meals each night with enough leftovers for hubby to take to work, keep the house tidy (because being a SAHM you have to do these things), do all those other little bits and pieces that need to be done every day, make sure Master3 had craft things to do everyday, have some sort of social life all while battling with mild depression! Is there any wonder that it all just came crashing down and I dropped out?
This time around Master1 is no longer breastfed and generally only wakes very briefly of a night time. Everyone is eating what I am eating. Master1 is in care 2 days a week so I finally have some Mummy sanity time back. We live in a different location - one that I like better which has definately improved my overall mental well being. But most importantly I have realised that you don't have to Go Hard or Go Home. You have to train hard - aim for the most Bang for your Buck so to speak. I can't always do the Super Saturday Session - so I will work it into another day during the week or do an extra normal session on a Sunday. Instead of just plodding along in class I am really pushing myself. Have my position at the front of the class and just go for it - because that may be the only time I get to exercise all day. When walking around here walk the uphills but jog the down .... plan my longer sessions (eg weights) on the days when I have no kidlets and organise the meals so that the ones that take longer to cook and prepare are done on kid free days too.
That is just the start of what has been happening in my head and I plan to tell you all so much more over the next few days!
Hope you are all well
I promise not to stay away for so long this time! xox

Patiently waiting ....
Well .... kind of. I don't 'do' patiently very well ;-)!
The program for the first week of the 12WBT is out TOMORROW!!!! YAY!!!
I can't wait! AND to top it off - tomorrow is Day Care Day!! So I can go and shop in peace!! Hopefully. Mast S hasn't been well - was sent home early from Day Care on Tuesday due to gunky eyes - he doesn't have conjunctivitis, just a bit of a cold (and his eyes always get a bit yuck with a runny nose). But try and convince a Child Care worker that!! Oh well. Hopefully they can both go so I can get to the gym for a couple of hours and do my shopping!
Haven't taken my measurements or my photo yet. Im a little scared of what the results will be. Suppose I just have to suck it up and JFDI!!
See you tomorrow for my thoughts on the week ahead!
For those who were wondering ... Yes ... I did eat the chocolate the other night and Yes it was lovely. Lindt 70% Cocoa so a good quality Dark chocolate and I enjoyed every bit of it.

So this is where it all begins ....
My journey to having a Sexy Ass for Summer. Next Summer I mean .... too late for this summer ;-)!
Im all signed up to start the Michelle Bridges 12wbt starting next week - I have a copy of the Sweet Poison Quit Plan to help me get rid of my sugar addiction - I have my awesome gym clothes all worked out - a good pair of sneakers - an awesome heart rate monitor (which can nearly make my coffee - minus the usual sugar I normally put in it) - and the will to succeed. Now to actually start .......
Hmmmm .... where exactly does one start when you have 25kgs to lose ...... might think about it while I eat the last of the chocolate that is in the house. Can't let it go to waste!!! ;-)
