2011 THINGS I KNOW NOW!

Talking openly helps. 

I found myself and realised that I'm worth the effort.

Don't take it Personally.

I'm not perfect and I do make mistakes.

If there's somebody or something toxic in your life let them or it go.

Diets DO work.

And Friends can get you though anything.

Family is my everything.

Life is what you make it.

Don't let your misfortunes hinder on your efforts.

Forgive yourself.

Don't dwell in the past concentrate on the present.

HONESTY

OK so this isn't really and easy blog post to make as I'm being completely Honest with both myself and whom ever reads my little blog.

I failed yes that's right I'm only human I went into this long weekend focused but unprepared and I have become unglued! I often do this to myself I remain focused on the goal until 2-3 weeks into my challenge and then it all goes pair shaped. I often ask myself am I setting myself up for failure? But after listing to Mish last video about the expression "where there is expectation often disappointment will follow".. Well I think I have been expecting a lot from myself and I really need to sit back and look at just how far I have come and refocus and get back on that wave.

 I do have that Erek to eat when stressed and It's only now that I'm understanding my body, my urges and my cravings and trying to deal with them before they get way to big it's only now that  I can understand that if I fall down I can now get back up and stop those bad habits.
The Truth is I love food but now I'm learning how to cook properly and change the way I should look at snacks because they are now not my down fall but they are a means to my  new way of life.
I'm really letting go of the good and bad that is going on in my head and I'm starting to be very mindfully and note that It's only an urge and craving and it will pass and I just have to ride the wave and wait until the motions shift and I will feel different and I can flex that will power muscle...IF I fall just a little I MUST get right back up and SURF the next wave to major success..... 

SO now with my figures crossed I head into my week 4 with a understanding of myself that I'm not perfect and although I'm changing my bad habits I now have the tools and an amazing community out there to help me shift and remain focused on the amazing Goal of getting healthy and fit to be the best version of my self that I can be and have that image in the mirror reflect  what I really see inside my head.... that fitter, happier living life to the fullest mother and wife that I really knew was there all along I was just a little lost. 

Week 1

OK So this week (week 1) has been amazing for all the right reasons. I have made the change and have taken on the challange...And thats to improve my self overall...The Mother and Wife that I'm currently isn't whom I want to be. I'm really missing out on living my life. So I decided to make a better life for both myself and my family and I tell you I'm NOT looking back.

Today was weigh in and I can't believe that I have lost 2.9kg's in one week (that's a total of 4.3kgs so far)....Amazing but let me tell you it wasn't without a lot of sweat and change from me.....I completed all 8 preseason tasks which I believe is really the key to me being so focused and ready to improve...I think that is what sets this program apart from any other weight lose programs I have done before

and let me tell you there have been many. The preseason task help me to get my brain and body in the right place.

 I always seem to find myself making every excuse under the sun not to work out or go for a walk. But now NO more excuses.

I deserve to make me the best I can be!
