CHALLENGE! (97.8kg)

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.

It also excites me. Because I know what I am capable of. I plan on making this challenge alot more full on than the last one and I am praying to God to make sure I suffer no injuries or illness to set me back. It's not easy to post a before photo huh!

I have had 2 perfect days out of 3 and I know that if I'd managed my time better we could have had a 100% run so far. This is OK - Progress not perfection. That saying helped me keep my food in check even while I was sitting in the movies being offered Nando's Chippys. (argghh so strong!) I just wanted to be able to colour in the "I ate clean" box for yesterday even if my workout box and walk the dog box was going to remain empty.

I also started the couch to 5km running program. With huge thanks to LMS and Linda who pointed me in the direction of the Podcast which makes life mush easier. I don't like watching "times" when I am trying to give something my all. I always find that counting down to the finish makes it harder LOL. I tried starting this program last year and failed miserably. It is so good to know that at least I can run now for 60 seconds straight on a treadmill.

In the next 12 weeks you will see me:~

Lose more than 10kgs
Create a reliable Sleeping Pattern
Drink more than 2 litres of water every day
Improve my strength my 10%
Drop more than 15cm from my waistline

I have updated all my stats in the sidebar (Current to the 1st Jan) and I plan on continuing to do so every Monday.

Now a few people have commented lately and I don't know where your blogs are. If you aren't in my blogroll please please let me know where your blogs are when I next comment so I can come visit you too :)

My after photo - 82ish Kg

Boxing Day Antics

I went shopping yesterday determined to get some organisation in my life and be ready when we tick over to 2007.

My focus for yesterday was to start getting my room in some sort of order. You remember these photos?

That was organised to me. I mean I knew where my clothes were and they had a particular order. I never showed you the floor though that was stacked as High as I could with junk I couldn't bring myself to throw away and You get some clue here as to the mess in the top of my wardrobe. Ewwwww. I wanted everything to have a place and be in it's place. I LOVE oprganisation. I Love the minimalistic look too but that's impossible for a hoarder. I filled our bin and some of our neighbours bins last night with some of the junk I had collected and kept over the years.

Also truth be told If I took a photo of my room you would flip with how messy and cluttered it was.

So since I cannot bear to throw out my health & fitness, beauty & portfolio magazines I went and bought some Magazine files. (I need to buy more but it's a start) I also bought a second hanger for my wardrobe.

Then I put on my iPod and went to work cleaning up and throwing stuff out.

The result so far is this.

A new aerial for my TV and now I can actually watch all the commercial channels YAY!

My bedside table is no longer stacked so tall of magazines and books that it resembled the Eiffel Tower. And here's a better Pic of my lamp :)

My new Body-For-Life Goals poster has been drawn up and Goals and Tasks are listed! Beside the Jeans that this blog is named for, Which WILL FIT ME in 2007.

Oxygen 2007 Fit & Fabulous Calender

Inspiration Inspiration Inspiration. My Dad thought I was gay fun fun.

OK So It's empty but at least it's not sitting on the floor. I'm yet to decide what pics deserve to be in here.

Now the only things on my floor except my Uggies.
