Healthy Eating..

EGGS!! eat them! heres a tip on how to perfectly boil them!

NASTY!!! just goes to show how much we dont think about what we are putting in our bodies!!

My awesome protein smoothie im sure youve seen it before but its amaze! so i had to include a photo!

TRAINING! So much food omg.. only two more sessions and i will be finished but trying to choose healthy options is always hard..
Pizza for lunch.. lucky theyre only thin bases! and i pile my plate with a garden! Breakfast! MMmMMmm i just thought it was beautiful how yellow my plate was haha

 One of my new goals is to find/create new healthy recipes so i can put up some new food in my healtyhy food posts! haha im sure youre sick of seeing the same!

NEW GOALS!!

Fresh motivation! I love a good event to keep me motivated! Well theres a few coming up actually..
My cousins wedding is in October! Perfect time to wear a really nice dress! I want to wear a maxi dress.. but also want to lose 12kgs by then! It's a little more realistic than my birthday goal haha So i will reach this one! i have 16 weeks! thats 750g a week! easy... haha then itll only be 5kgs to lose for xmas! Hooray! Here are some of the dresses!

Ive got the tough bloke challenge on this sunday! ahhh lord help me! im excited but we will see how i go haha 6km obstacle course army style! its going to be freezing so glad i signed up for the 12:30 wave! Gotta figure out what i will wear because its all going to get distroyed from all the mud haha

My next challenge will be the city 2 surf! August its on so gives me a few months to sharpen my running skills! obviously not going to run the whole 14km? but ill get there =)

Also some new goals i have included are to find some new healthy meals and snacks! Gotta learnt to balance my workouts and healthy eating! I tend to smash the shit out of the gym but then am too exhausted to feed myself properly which is counter productive.. gotta scale down my workouts and focus on clean eating! Have a healthy balance where im fueling my body and working it hard enough aswell. Also the biggest one is working on my thoughts.. i have to stop comparing myself to others in a negative way. Everyone is different and everyone works for what they have achieved! So stop feeling like shit and work on making yourself proud!!

We  recently went out for a girls night drinking and what not.. really love this dress again its a size 12..but god damn its not the most flattering thing i have worn.. seriously should have reconsidered this purchase until im a size 8 haha

GET IT GIRL...

SO! Been so unorganised lately really have dropped the ball! I feel like i have lost all motivationa and drive for anything weight loss related.. Like i said in my previous post i think i over did it a little last week.. I need to find a balance between working out, spending time with my family & friends, eating right and keeping my life in order haha AND get it straight in my head! NO NEGATIVE THOUGHTS!!!

So trying to get organised today! Im not working and the girls are at daycare so i have some spare time to just let my brain process everything! What the hell single people so with all their time ill never know! jesus..

SO im sitting here with my shopping list.. meal planner.. recipe book.. the city to surf leaflet from the gym and a blank peice of paper to plan everything! I also want to print off some new things to stick on my wall my old inspiration board it getting a bit old!!

My trainer said something strange tome this morning but it made alot of sense! she said you have to eat the frog.. haha what?! get the worst thing of the day over and done with first! so theres no time for excuses to kick in and put off the task! For example.. exercising! or washing up.. i friggin hate washing up! haha JUST DO IT!! it has to be done theres no use being a whinger because thats how u got this way!

Holy balls..

Smashed a killer week of workouts! My HRM is so bossy now haha it tells me what to do! I had three messages from it this morning! One telling me how well i did last week.. another telling me it was time to weigh in! and the last was telling me i had to do a fitness test haha

My target..smashed it by 1000 calories..

 I think i over did myself last week.. everyday did a 1000 cal workout few days only did 700 but shouldnt have pushed myself so hard! Did RPM this morning and walked on the treadmill after it was so nice to have such a short workout and still do 700cals haha going to organise some more classes into my schedual! i had forgotten how good they are!

A great achievement i smashed my rowing efforts! 1000m under 4minutes! Dont ever ask me to do it again though hahaha

Progress..

Two more kgs to lose and i will be half way!

No i didnt chop my hair off lol Just realised how much my legs have changed! should have taken more before photos hahaha

LOVE my new heart rate monitor! this was after PT! it told me im improving my overall performance and health =) haha

 FUCKING DOOM!  Pregnancy sucks ass but so does contraceptives!! Now all i want to do is cry and eat shit.. Stupid hormones!!

Let me blow ya mind!

ok.. so PT sessions with my mum really blow my mind..

My brithday present for my amazing mother! To keep her going when it gets rough! Seriously get one!

Shes so amazing! She's 48 and just starting to really get back into exercise and ive dragged her straight into PT! Shes doing really well and knows when to take it easy so she doesnt puke ;-P hehe

One thing ive noticed in myself however is I worry about her.. Is she ok? is she too exhausted? omg is she actually going to puke?? are the excuses taking hold? should i encourage her along or will she think im too pushy? Now im not saying this is exactly what is happening because i dont know the insides of her mind.. but ive been there before and know how hard it is to push through when your mind is screaming STOP THIS AND GET ME A FUCKING BIG MAC!!! haha

im seriously getting this printed on a shirt!

Its just so amazing to think thats where i started and look how far i have come without even realising it! All the potential she has to achieve whatever she wants and she just has get over these first little hills! It's the whole challenge! The first step is always the hardest and all that!

 Its like in spiderman 3 when Peter Parker is tearing himself away from the evil black spiderman goo and hes trying so hard to rip it off himself but it just wants to cling to him.. nerdy i know.. but the perfect reference! Its what happens the excuses cling to our minds and dont want to leave! Where do they come from? i say sugar! bad food! As soon as i eat crap the excuses come creeping in! BUT THE POINT IS! You HAVE to rip them off PUSH them away! Get rid of them!! a small struggle and youll feel a thousand times better!

I was running on an incline of 10 tonight! When i first started running was a joke! I was easily doing 10 push ups on my toes could have done more! I could barely do pushups on my knees when i started! Dont even get me started about my core muscles haha i HAVE core muscles now haha

It just goes to show.. the struggle is in the beginning! If you can overcome your excuses and make it a habit eating clean and exercising soon it will be your routine and when you stray from that you will know how bad it is! Just push through! You CAN do it you are STRONG!! Do not let the excuses keep you weak! It wont be long and it wont seem like such a struggle! it becomes second nature!

DONT give up on yourself! i belive you CAN do it! why? because i never thought i could and yet here i am! Just like everybody else with there before and after shots and its only going to get better from here!

Anyway.. key point of this post.. KEEP GOING!! and if you give up? start again! until it clicks.. work through your excuses! challenge them! like me with PT tonight! i have been throwing up really sick for the past two days and my head was feeling a bit funny today so im like ohh maybe i shouldnt go.. well excuses im either going to sit here and feel like shit.. or go and do PT and maybe feel like shit anyway or feel a thousand times better! and you know what?!

I FEEL A THOUSAND TIMES BETTER!! hooray!! so FUCK the excuses! and JUST DO IT!!!

 My new upgrade! i LOVE it! and cals burnt in PT! pretty damn good considering i have been throwing up the past few days! blerghh..

Gyming..

A MONDAY MOMENT FOR MEL

Just like to take a moment and bring to attention my amazing bestfriend and her journey so far!

Mel started off at 96kgs.. So far she has lost an amazing 26kgs!!!





















I am so proud of her constant dedication and all the effort she has learnt to put into herself! She pushes through all her barriers and carries on no matter what the task! She even has to kick my butt into gear haha
Its not just about the number on the scales! or the fact she has lost over 55cms from her whole body.. but the fact she has come out of her shell! She is happy! She knows how to speak her mind to others and is not a push over!
I love this photo! I saw a completely different side to my bestfriend on saturday night and it made me so happy! Mel dancing on the lounge hahaha

Mel youre such an amazing bestfriend! and such a big inspiration! xoxo

WEIGH IN WEDNESDAY

lost a kg this week! Very happy with my progress!

If you want to get results.. its not about quantity but quality! You can workout for 90 minutes but if youre not sweating and grunting then theres no point! Get your grunt on! Push yourself harder! Stop wasting your time and not getting results! I need to push myself harder!

 Workout hard and eat clean! No point working out if youre going to go stuff your face with cookies after!

Also got measured up at the gym with my personal trainer and pretty steady loss in cms.. nothing drastic but then again not really putting in the extra effort for that. Better than putting on cms!

Down 1.2kgs

2 cms off chest and legs           3cms off waist and hips

Pretty happy with most body parts just wanna get the little belly flatter! get rid of the baby pouch haha
