Personally I think this is a much better photo of Jen. I am so excited to go and learn so many new things. Get out of my comfort zone by a damn long way and get some more motivation and knowledge to do the right things by my body.Labels: Miscellaneous, Phat Camp

Yesterday I took Jasons car to get repaired on the other side o town and then came back to pick up a workmate of his to take him to the ferry as it was the only way up or down the coast. The queue? 3 hours long! It went for miles and miles. Poor bloke.
I grabbed a shot from one of the residents parking spots. to give SOME idea but there was no way of getting the whole queue in the photo as it was just too long and went too far back down the peninsula. It easily stretched back past the Pine trees winding all the way out onto the street. Palm Beach was just manic so I gave up on the swimming idea for the day.
Have so far made today a good one. Got out of bed at 5am and was at the gym for doors open. Still in week 2 of the couch to 5km but as I was ok with it before the change in shoes I think that's all it is. Just getting used to me new running style with the new shoes.
Again can't praise Running Science enough.
Also got some shakes etc with me now so that was breakfast sorted and I just need to keep on track to make sure I get the results I am aiming for. Having not weighed for over a week now is killing me! I can't believe it. I am so scales orientated and not having mine "ooch." I just need to keep plodding along with the knowledge that if I do the right thing I will see the results.

Thanks very much to LMS I downloaded the Couch to 5km podcasts created by Robert Ullrey. I started last week and finished Week 1 on Sunday. Today I started week 2. | "Success depends upon previous preparation, and without such preparation there is sure to be failure." - Confucius |

As I have said so many thousands of times before the focus here is on Progress not Perfection. | EXCUSES OR ACCOMPLISHMENTS? IT IS EASY TO MAKE UP EXCUSES TO TELL TO YOURSELF. FOR YOU CAN CHOOSE TO BELIEVE ANYTHING YOU SAY TO YOURSELF. BUT WHAT DO THOSE EXCUSES ACCOMPLISH? WHERE DO THEY TAKE YOU? IT’S EASY TO USE YOUR THINKING TO RATIONALIZE YOUR WAY OUT OF TAKING ACTION. WITHOUT MUCH EFFORT, YOU CAN THINK OF PLENTY OF GOOD, BELIEVABLE REASONS FOR NOT MAKING THE EFFORT. AT SOME POINT, THOUGH, YOU MUST ASK YOURSELF THIS QUESTION. DO YOU WANT YOUR LIFE TO BE FILLED WITH EXCUSES OR WITH ACCOMPLISHMENTS? IN FACT, EACH TIME YOU CATCH YOURSELF THINKING UP AN EXCUSE OR RATIONALIZATION, ASK YOURSELF THAT QUESTION. CHALLENGE YOURSELF TO CONSCIOUSLY CHOOSE WHETHER OR NOT YOU WISH TO ACCOMPLISH. WHEN YOU FORCE YOURSELF TO LOOK AT IT THIS WAY, THE EXCUSES WILL BEGIN TO LOOK PRETTY SILLY AND USELESS. THE MORE YOU REMIND YOURSELF OF THE VALUE OF ACCOMPLISHMENT, THE MORE YOU WILL TAKE ACTION INSTEAD OF MAKING UP EXCUSES. AND THE MORE YOU TAKE ACTION, THE MORE YOU WILL ACHIEVE. - RALPH MARSTON |

You are freeYou are free to follow the demands of your ego. You are also free to let go of those demands.You are free to imagine and impose all sorts of limitations upon your life, your actions and who you can be. You are also free to move beyond every one of those limitations. You are free to think positive, empowering thoughts even when faced with situations that could be considered hopeless. You are free to act in such a way that will bring value and meaning to your life and your world. You are free to take difficult problems and turn them into spectacular opportunities. You are free to take ordinary moments and turn them into special treasures. You are free to take whatever may come your way, and direct it toward positive purpose. You are free to fail a thousand times, and then to get back up and achieve stunning success. You are free to find the beauty and value in all that you experience. Remember always that you are free, to live, to love, and to bring the very best possibilities brilliantly to life. -- Ralph Marston |

A good night sleep would be FABULOUS. I keep saying I am going to get up early rah rah rah, but my sleep is so broken and restless that I stay in bed at least until 10am. I feel so slack for it. Then I don't want to do my workouts because the gym only has aircon in the studios and not in the main area, which means it's a freaking sauna!
I am back in challenge mode. I have decided that I will be submitting a challenge pack to Body-for-Life and I am also doing the Living in The Suburbs forum 12 week "New Year, New Me" challenge (How fitting). I won this challenge last year using Body-for-Life methods and it saddens me that I am now bigger than I was in the Before photos of that previous challenge.Labels: Body-for-Life, C25K, LITS, Organisation
