Weigh in and Video Blog

Weigh In Wednesday is here! Did you have good news this morning? I've lost 305g since Friday and really need to start keeping track of my WEDNESDAY weigh in's so into my diary i've written my weight from today. That'll teach me for weighing several times a day - just to make sure the scales aren't lying to me!

So now i'm brave enough for the world to see my video blog entry from  Round 3 2011. This is the first time i'd made a video like this, infact i'd never used a webcam myself LOL (computer nerd hubby had one set up that we used to use occasionally but I never worked it myself). So here it is.

Preseason Task #1 - Introduce Yourself

Preseason is here and i've just completed my first preseason task - Introduce yourself.

So i've posted a little spiel about me in the forums. Who I am, where I am and why I joined 12wbt. So I thought i'd post it here too...


"Hello fellow 12wbters, are you as excited as I am? Preseason is finally here!!!

I am Chantelle, 31, a stay at home mum from Melton, Victoria.

I am back for my 2nd Round after a huge success in Round 3 2012. I have a few more kg's to go till I get to my initial goal and then i'll reassess my goals. I thought I was ready last round, but this time I am more determined to achieve and smash my goals.

Looking forward to this round!"

Pre-season

So tomorrow is Pre-Season for 12WBT Round 1 2012.

I'm all set! I'm still following the program from Round 3, other than creating a few of my own recipes and i'm getting quite good at it too!

So i'm starting this Pre-Season super close to my initial goal weight. During Round 1 i'll smash this goal and the reassess where I want to be. No doubt i'm sure I can do more!

This Round i've got my sister and a couple of close friends joining me so i'm really looking forward to following their progress and being able to help them as much as I can. Looking forward to completing all my Pre-Season tasks and kicking some butt (kicking the excess fat off it anyway!)

Good luck to all 12WBT'ers I know you can achieve great things!

Settling into 2012

Well there has been a few hiccups this year, but I didn't do too badly at all. I've maintained and then had a loss but I haven't put on which is the main thing. I had a few issues with the creche being closed but now that has reopened i'm fully getting back into my routine. This week i've done a lot of bike riding after setting myself a challenge.....

For every like my Facebook status got I was to ride 1km. Well I got 35 likes so I tripled it and said i'd complete it in a week. Tomorrow is my last day and I have 23km left to ride. I can do it and I will JFDI. I've had to rearrange my timetable to complete this challenge but that just helps me to mix it up a bit.

So what is my next challenge? I am going to do C25k (Couch to 5km for those unsure). I am awaiting my new running shoes to arrive and I just need to download the program onto my iPod (having a few iTunes issues which are currently being resolved) and then i'm good to go! I'm not a runner, never have been a runner but I want to learn to run and put another notch in my achievement belt.

I want to take this opportunity, being my first post for 2012, to thank my wonderful family and friends for your support. You've made this journey so much easier and especially to my wonderful husband, who does night shift but often will get up earlier in the evening to have the kids while I head to the gym for either Combat or Boxing! You're awesome and I love you :)
