Operation Roxy - In Progress

So what if....

What if we were to talk weight for just a moment? For some of us we are proud of our achievements, for some frustrated with a lack of results, others have reached their goals while yet others are having no trouble maintaining. But there are a few of us who did extremely well only to have something switch and do a back flip on us and leave us back where we started or close to that or for some miles behind the starting line.

I'm lucky I'm not back where I started, but I am not far off it.

It disappoints me and I have avoided the scales and the question of weight for so long.

I can't even say how much I weigh right now. It disgusts me! I work in a gym helping others achieve their goals. When will I work on mine?

It's becoming a priority it really is.

400g lost this week.

I plan on buying myself an iTrip if the downward trend continues so I can listen to my iPod in the car. My stacker is crap (I HATE STACKERS) so I reckon this is my best option. Holds more songs than any cd anyway.

Then I plan on setting goals for each pay day (fortnightly) as long as my weight is below the last payday there's a reward. If It's above I need some kind of punishment other than my own self loathing.

Work is super hectic. End of month time now. I have some Family and Friends vouchers that gives you a massive dicount if you ar looking to join. They expire on the 31st.

Couch to 5km!

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.

I really enjoy using the podcasts and I find them much easier than clock watching. Kek from Fit Bodies has been a great help too as I was struggling at one stage last week with some niggles and she gave me some advice that means I am running pain free now.

I had a pretty uneventful weekend, I'm trying not to spend any money as I am heading up to visit the boy at the end of this week with a girlfriend and I need to buy myself some new shoes so I can have a long running life. :) I am not going to organise a catch up this time because I have Rikki with me, but I have a WHOLE TONNE of trips planned for this year so we will definitely have a meet up.

I haven't made the decision on weather to do my Body Composition scan again or not. I'd like to but I don't but I do LOL. It's a familiar thing with me at the moment. I am also contemplating attending Phat Camp this year. I can't go the the Melbourne or Gold Coast "Camps" as I have Beauty Expo and Fitness Expo those weekends but I am considering the Sydney camp. Is anyone else interested? I have heard so many good things!

The LITS 12 week challenge is under way but we decided to allow late entries (everyone finishes at the same time so the only disadvantage is to those who entered late) I think it is traveling along great and I have been able to come up with quite a few articles and bits and pieces to help spur the challengers on. I hope it's helping.

My chart is really colourful at the moment as I have mostly completed all my daily tasks and stayed on track. It's very rewarding to get my gold star AND see my weight drop :) I'll take a photo at the end of the week and show you all what it looks like.

I am praying to continue on while I am away and I have told both my OH Jase and my gf Rikki who is coming with me that exercise, water and good food MUST be maintained everyday while we are away.

So wish me luck :)
