Head Space

·    Feeling sore today after last night’s workout – but it’s a “good” sore!

 

·    Feeling a bit deflated with some general “stuff” that’s going on, but found that when I was training last night, I completely forgot all about it – such a good feeling.

·    Way too tired to train tonight and Hubby got home late. Too much to fit in    during the evenings!!

 

 

Extras

·     Didn’t do my 30 push ups last night – looks like it’s on tonight!
·     Need to still do my sit and reach as part of my fitness test.

 

Round 3. Week 1. Day 1

I've decided to keep a daily diary for Round 3, to track my nutrition, fitness and other bits & pieces that I experience during this round!

Red Flags

Nutrition

Daily Calorie Allowance = 1200
Actual Calories Consumed = 1278

• Trying to make a conscious effort to drink more water
• Loved today’s lunch and so did Hubby!
• Hubby cooked dinner tonight – we opted for steak with mushroom sauce for dinner instead of the fish stew (not a big fish fan!)

Training

Incidental Training

Quick walk before work – 0.59km / 09:45min / 31cals

Took a walk around the block after buying my morning coffee, rather than heading straight up to the office

 

Quick walk during my lunch break – 2.03km / 15:36min / 61cals

Had to go to the pharmacy at lunchtime, so I decided to take a longer route back to the office and also take the stairs instead of the lift

 

Lean & Strong Program

Partial completion of program – 42:49min / 228cals

 

Head Space

Pumped to start Round 3 but feeling extremely tired today

Still trying to figure out how I’m going to fit in 6 days of training! I just physically can not do it. I think I may need to aim for 3-4 days training per week.

Round 3 Finale Details

Round 3 Finale Details

Every morning I’ve been eagerly checking my emails, in anticipation for more news from Michelle Bridges and the 12WBT crew. And then this morning, this came through:

 

 

Round 3 Finale is in Sydney!!

Whoop! Whoop! Super excited!!

I’ll actually be able to go to my very first finale – yay!

Even more pumped to get stuck into Round 3 now!!

5 sleeps to go!

 

 

 

Preparing for Round 3

Preparing for Round 3!!

6 days til Round 3 starts!! So here’s where I’m at…

I’m still in the process of completing my preseason tasks, with the aim to complete them all by Saturday. They’re almost done, but I just want to take a final read through and see if there’s anything extra that I can add.

 

I’ve set up a manilla folder that will house all of my Round 3 documentation:

• Preseason tasks 
• Monthly calendars
• Weekly planners
• Weekly meals calorie tracker
• WeightTracker (this is an excel spread sheet I will update each week and use to track/plot my progress)
• Fitness Tracker (this is an excel spread sheet I will update each week and use to track/plot my progress)

 

I’ve bought a set of pretty pink folders to neatly display my weekly meal and fitness plans, which is something that I’ve failed to do previously. (I still have bits & pieces from Round 1 that are yet to be filed away properly!)

I’ve looked through the latest Big W catalogue to see what gear (including One Active gear) I need/want to purchase before the round commences. Still need to purchase some heavier dumbbells and a fitball – this is to make sure that I have all the equipment to complete the Lean and Strong Program at home.

 

 

 

So now I’m just patiently waiting for the weekend to arrive so that I can take my “before” photos and complete my fitness test. I won’t lie, I am very nervous about what lies ahead, but I’m also super excited!!

Hoping to smash this round .No.

Aiming to smash this round. Wait…

I WILL smash this round!!
