Back on track.

Feeling really worthy today.

Yesterday my weigh in showed I had lost the 2kg I put on, plus another 900g! Very happy with that. Today I did my fitness test. It has been 8 weeks since joining 12wbt and I can really see and feel the difference.

I wont bore you with all the details, but I will say that I am now running! (when I say running, I mean Jogging, and when I say jogging, I mean, shuffling) But still all the same it is a big deal for me.

In my 1k time trial I have shaved off 2.5 minutes, and I ran (shuffled) at least a third of it! I have gone from 12 minutes to 9.5!

I am also really proud of the fact that I got back on the wagon. I know it may not seem like much, but it is the first time ever! I fell off, and I just picked myself up, dusted myself off and got on with it. Every single other time, I have tried this, I get to a stressful situation (hubby in hospital definitely counts as stressful) and I fall off the wagon. Then when the dust settles, I ALWAYS shrug my shoulders and think, well that was a fail, and continue to sloth and stuff my face.

So what is the difference this time?  I am a smart woman, I know what can go into my body and what it will do. I understand nutrition and the need to work out. I know how to calorie count.

For me the one thing that is different this time, is Michelle Bridges. Her mind set videos are so very helpful. I listen to them and think, I know this stuff, its not new, but, it works. I go away with a new sense of worth, a fire in my belly to succeed. I feel more in control.

So far, things that stick - (mind set videos)

Don't be a passenger - Take control of your life
The Motivation Myth - JFDI
Flex and tone your will power muscle - I really like this one and use it all the time!
Pay offs and Costs - this came just after Hubby hospital debacle - Really helped me get back on it.

Then there is the weekly emails, what a wonderful help they have been. I find myself looking forward to them.

I am so thankful I took this challenge on. I am pretty sure I will sign up again. I sound like an advertisement for the program, but its all true.

Thanks for reading.
