Today Michelle Bridges is in Perth, Yay....and I am going down to meet her.
So started today with my swim with V at 6.30, have to admit that I did not drag my butt out of bed till 6.15 as was so cold and fell back asleep but I got there.
Damn hip..LOL I hate swimming at that time of the morning.
V is meeting Michelle in the morning but I have an appointment for my daughter at that time so will be going to the afternoon one, but V who is an amazing women and full of great ideas said she is taking her certificate from Round 1 for her to sign, what a fab idea so I have just got mine ready to take to office works and print out as I got no ink left in my printer... way to go V I would not of thought of that, mine was just going to sit saved on my desktop and that is it, now it can have pride of place in my bead room where I will see it all the time.
I am in the process of trying to find a running coach in Perth, for one or two sessions so that I can see if and how I am running in right, want to beat this fear of running, as I know I can do it, was thinking about it and think it might be from having such bad asthma as a child that I was not allowed to ever run, so could be my brain still panics over that, I don't know but I will bet it and run. It a sign of fitness to me, if you can run you are fit if you can not run you are not fit. I know this is not true but its has always been there for me, so I want to bet it and know I can do anything. Will have to wait because of hip at moment but I am on the task.
My eating has been good bit picky again at night but not to bad in all. I think its being bored at night that I do it so will need to focus on changing that before It a habit again.
OK I am off to take on the world again today..LOL oh and meet Michelle.
8 days till Sydney.....

Something funny happen at work.
Posted this on forum but wanted to put it here to remember later as well.
Had a customer come in today that had not been in for more than 6 months or so.
I server her as normal chatting away, just before she left, the other lady that works with me came out and the women turned to her and say " what happen to the other lady that use to work here?" I just looked at my work mate as I did not know who the customer was talking about as there had been some part time staff there while I was on leave before. The customer could see we where confused and said you know the one with the short red hair.... My work mate started laughing and I clicked I looked at the customer and said that would be me......OMG she said and hugged me you look like a different person she was so shocked.
I guess that is what happens when you grow your hair and change the colour, and lose 50kg...LOL
I was so cool I felt great. A bit embarrassed about the big deal she made over it. LOL

Been busy great long weekend.
OK have not posted for a little while but all has been good, just busy.
Have signed up for the City to surf, but not the half marathon that I posted in the last update, as worked out there is only 12 weeks till the race and with my hip stopping me from training there just is no time to get ready for it, so will be doing the 12km for the City to surf but promised myself that I will do a half marathon by the end of the year.
I signed up to a 10 day Bikram Yoga class intro sessions, and well that is a class that pushes you body and mind, the heat is so intence. I can do most of the class with out my hip hurting to much apart from a couple of moves so just work around them. Heading back to a class today for that. The trainer saids you get use to the heat and dont notice it as much after a few classes I hope he is right.
Oh the big thing that has happen since my last update cant belive it wasnt my first part of the post. I hit my next goal I have now lost 50.1kg and got a personal message from Michelle when I posted it on twitter, that made my day I was jumping around like a school kid on such a high...LOL my kids where laughing at me....
My food has been good, just need to work on drinking more water, do good with this for a few days then forget again.
I also came up with my personal mantra for 12wbt and for myself its
I will finish what I have started, because I can do more than I think I can.
This is from when I completed the triathlon and surprised myself in what I can do and how great it made me feel.
Oh and I got to buy new jeans got 16's and had to take the back for size 14 I was over the moon and they look so great. So I posted a new photo of myself and new profile pic, was on such a high.
OK well that is it from me today. only 10 days to go till sydney.
Train like no one is watching.... most of the time they are not anyway so dont be put off. You can do it.

Fear - excues - Goal
Today started out good, woke up before alarm as thought I was going to be late, but was an hour early, tried to get back to sleep, but not much luck. Alarm goes off I get up and get ready. Its still dark and very very cold but off I head to the pool for a swim with V. My hip is a bit soar but nothing bad, walked in the pool for a bit and swam a few laps it did hurt which surprised me so I just took it easy.
Anyway after the swim talking with V we started talking about the city to surf, I had always said I was going to do the 12km run, but V thinks I should do the half marathon.
I all most died, what I thought, I cant do that, there is no way I could ever do that.
But she tells me that I can and to think about it very seriously. I head off to work thinking no way, over coffee chatting to the girl at work, who is planing to do the city to surf with me I tell her about what V said, and looking to her for her to say "no way, I dont think you could do that yet", but NO I get "yer that would be great for you", will no one help me validate my excuses.
So I have this swimming around in my head, only to come home and read the 12wbt forum and one of the girls on there who started when I did, has set her goal to do a half marathon in the same time frame, well thats 3 times in one day, I think I just have to give in and say OK I will give it my best go and start training ASAP.
Worse case I get to the start of Aug and admit that I can only do the 12km that I had 1st set myself to do and just sign up for that, best case I smash it and blow myself away with what I can do now.
At the end of Aug I will be at my goal weight or very close to it, so there is nothing stopping me from doing this bar my mind and my mental state, and I know as do you that after round 1 of 12wbt that we can do more that we ever thought we could, I remember my mental state of I CANT DO IT when we got the triathlon task
so If I can do that I can do this.
Looked up some training programs and found a good beginners one for 18 weeks so guess that is what I will work on.
Food today was good I did pick a little after dinner on low fat stuff, no good will have to focus on not doing that again. I just find it so hard to stick to stuff when hubby is home.
Tomorrow's plan.
Swim or walk in morning. 30mins
cross trainer after work. 20mins
well I am off to bed, to regret what I have just put out into the world that I am going to do...LOL but how amazing will it be crossing that finish line.

I did it I am back for round 2 of the 12WBT
I missed it..LOL so have signed up for round 2.
Just checked out the forum and it is going nuts a lot more WA people this time so that is so great.
Today I started my mini workouts for my hip.
Did 15mins on treadmill at 6km got my heart rate up then jumped on the cross trainer for 7 mins. Will keep it at this for a week as well as some swimming. Then increase it a bit if my hip not hurting.
Food today was ok but not great, tomorrow I am going to be more organized so I am not looking around and picking.
I ordered my t-shirt from 12wbt today as well I hope it gets here in time for Sydney.
Train hard, when you dig deep inside yourself you will find a strength you did not know you had and you will feel amazing.

not good day.
Today was not great. But could of been lot worse.
Food wise I would be over on my cals, but did not go insane
just enjoyed to much good healthy food.
Had light brunch out with hubby
then later a yummy lunch at a Mediterranean place was so nice.
Went to doctors after this and got told my hip is going to take
2 to 6 weeks to heal and that I am not allowed to do any workouts till it has.
Apart from walking and swimming. So left there and rang V she is so great, we worked out how to work around this and all was good.
But when I got home I was a bit down and did not feel like cooking the lamb cutlets that we where ment to have for dinner so got a pizza out the freezer and cooked that up, I had 2 pieces with salad it was thin crust so not good but not as bad as could of been, before would of eat a whole one with garlic bread and it would of been thick crust or even cheese burst or something like that. I know that it does not make it right but I just wanted to relax and feel sorry for myself for a bit.
Tomorrow I will be back on track.
Plan for tomorrow.
Design a workout weights only for top part of body that I can do sitting down on the machines and not use my hip at all. If I cant do cardio then I am going to do a load of toning and build some muscles to burn more fat.
Aim to go for a walk as well.
Food wise
Nice breakfast of poached egg with light sausage with herbs that I found and beans
(320 cal)
Lunch got Chicken salad sandwiches 270cals
Lamb that was ment to have tonight.
Enjoy your workouts and I will not let this get me off track I have just had my journey switch tracks for now.
