So I am kind of excited to be doing some adventure races this year and early next year. The first one on my agenda is 4 weeks away in Tough Bloke Challenge. Don't let the name fool ya. There is alot of tough chicks doing this one- me included- gonna get down and dirty in the mud :)
Check out the above video! This takes place on July 1st for me @ 11am. I have to admit, I bit scared about the wall climbs and things, but I'm just gonna do what I can.
The next one, I have enrolled to do is- Valley Stampede, which is in November- check it out
Then finally in Feb 2013. I am taking on Warrior Dash- check it
Its been a while since I've posted on this blog. Since I have re-started on my weight loss journey; following Propoints at home using the WW tracking app; I have been on quite a roll. In the last 4 weeks. I have lost 7.7kg. Here's the breakdown
Weighed in at 140kg - this is not an acceptable weight and its something that I am now fixing and will never ever go back to this size again.
Week 1 Weigh In- Lost 2.9kg- New weight- 137.1kg Week 2 Weigh In- Lost 1.8kg- New weight 135.3kg Week 3 Weigh In- Lost 2.1kg- New weight- 133.2kg Week 4 Weigh In- Lost 0.9kg- New weight- 132.3kg
I had been avoiding stepping on the scales as I knew I would be completely upset with the results it showed me.
I knew that I had gained alot of weight and that I was big, but I honestly never thought I would tip the scales at 140g, when I saw this it made me physically ill. This weight is not something that can just be accepted. It must be something that strikes a light bulb moment for us to do something about and this is exactly what has happened to me.
I have been back on Propoints for 4 weeks and have been smashing through the weigh ins and the change in foods has been feeling so much fitter and healthier and even though I am sick and injured right now- chest infection and flu, and injured foot- it hasn't detered me. In fact its made me watch my food wiser, make strong and positive decision with what I eat. I find myself saying no, to unhealthy food that is being offered, where normally I wouldn't have blinked and eyelid, I would have ate that stack of pancakes or chips.
I have sent a goal for myself to achieve and now that I have that goal to work towards nothing is getting in my way. Now I know some of you will say that yes, I've heard this all before and how is this time any different? I can tell you that I have never been more focused, I have short term and long term goals to achieve. I want my life back. Food will not rule my life anymore. I eat to live and not live to eat.
I am also cutting out any negative influences in my life, that could people who are having a negative impact on my life, even family, activities and just life in general. I have no use for negative energies in my life. I will only surround myself with positive people and people who can and are willing to assist me in where I need to get to.
Some people talk about support systems and what they look for in a support system. To me, my friends are my support system. If I didn't have them supporting me then this journey would definately be alot harder.
