Day One, 12wbt, Rocky start...

So, I hit snooze, went back to bed, and woke up at....
du du du DUUUUU....
7:30!
I had to wake my husband up and be all, Oh My GOSH, it's 7:30!
We all thought it was 6:30.
So Day 1 on Michelle Bridges, and it's a bit bumpy.

I didn't do any exercise at all.
:(
But I ate almost exactly what I was supposed to!
The breakfast was pretty bad. Won't have that again.
Lunch was AWESOME! Will have that again.
And Dinner was bland :(
I'll try the Chicken Noodle Soup one more time.
I decided that I could use a tastier type of noodles, perhaps even home-made! But lower the amount so it's the same calories.
Cuz Vietnamese rice noodles are pretty bland.

I did, however, miss a snack somehow, and ended up eating 200 less than required.
Ooops!
No wonder I'm starving and grumpy!!!

Alarm set for 5:20am, hitting Body Pump at the gym.
No excuse!
Brekky all planned, lunch, and dinner will be soon.
Definitely all in this time.

Moving complete

So we're in the new house.
But that messed up my gym-attendance mo-jo.
Now it's been a week.
I'll go to Body Balance this evening I think.

I've signed up for Michelle Bridges 12wbt.
I've done it twice before, but I didn't ever completely do it.
This time around, I'll be following diet and exercise as much as possible.
It won't be easy, but it'll be worth it.

Round 2 starts Monday.
I've already got the shopping list and diary complete.
Now I just need to do the fitness test and measure up.

And last but not least, I need to decide if I'll do the Intermediate plan, or the 10km training plan.
Not sure yet.

Moving week!

Not only am I moving house this week, I'm also moving as in exercise as well!
I've given up on the Gladiator challenge, because I figured I'd have to do 2 classes a day to catch up, and that is not realistic at all!
But during the two weeks I was trying, it's like something has switched in my head.
It's like my soul is telling me, yeah twice a day is unrealistic, but once a day is possible - so DO IT!
I've turned into a gym junkie, and loving it!
Especially when I'm doing a full hour of Body Attack, and by the 7th track, I'm still up high energy - although my face is tomato red and sweat dripping everywhere, I'm still doing it!
I look at all these skinny-mini girls doing it and I KNOW I'm so much tougher than them.
Cuz I have an extra 50 lbs to jump around in!
I'm bad ass, and I know it.

How's the scale?
Well, it went up last week - like 194 up! - but that's cuz I'm building muscle.
Now it's going down again.
This morning 191.5.
Back to the beginning.
But I'm stronger, more fit, and feel awesome!
So NSV of the week: My life is better now.
I'm not where I want to be, but I'm not where I was.
And damn proud of it.

Peace!
