Old Bad Habits BE GONE!!!

Indeed!!!!!

This week has just spiralled out of control.  Too much drinking, too much eating crap & not enough exercising & JFDI!!! And I know I would have had a gain this morning, but how fortunate for me that my scales aren't working!?!  I'm marking today as a "STS" (Stay the Same).

Team Fighting Back last weekend

Quite ironic that last Friday's post was about pulling my finger out & get back on track. I did nothing about getting back on track and instead I drank wine every day, and fell into the old habit of snacking whilst drinking late at night.  I did hardly any exercise, except for a couple of bike rides and a half arsed effort at circuit & boxing.  I just have not given a shit.   And then yesterday we hosted a BBQ for Melbourne Cup day, and I drank & ate to excess yet again.  Last night I couldn't sleep & tossed & turned whilst thinking about my goals for the next round, and then woke up feeling disgusted in myself, but ready to get back in control.  I'm ready.  It's time.

Carrot & muesli muffins - Yum!

So, as part of the preseason tasks for the next round, I have been thinking about my goals.  This round was an extremely tough one with all the red flags days - Perth trip, 40th birthdays, trip to Bali, Ride to Conquer Cancer, etc.  The next one will be challenging as well since it is over the silly season, but I am going to give it my all.

So, some of my goals for the next 12wbt & how I'm going to achieve them are:

• Limit alcohol intake to special occasions only - this would include Christmas Day, NYE, and the BIG challenge will be when on holidays at our caravan for 3 weeks.
• Exercise a minimum of 6 days per week, which should be easy whilst we are away as there is a new gym at our caravan park that has opened, and we will be taking our bikes away with us for lots of family rides!
• Strict clean eating.  Apparently the 12wbt will have lots of BBQ & family friendly recipes in the next round, which will help us when we are away.  We are having Christmas Day at our house this year so we can control the way in which food is cooked.
• Lose 15-20kgs.  If I go hard, and stick to the program, I can easily do this.
• Improve my fitness & strength.  With regular exercising I will easily be able to improve in these areas.
• Continue to support Greg in his journey.  He in turn will support me as we strive for a better future together with our kids.
• No excuses - JFDI!!!

I'm ready.  I know the round doesn't start for another week & half, but I am going to use this time as my "preseason" and get organised, and make sure my mind set is in the right place.

 

Bring on Round 4!!!

We never get sick of the 12wbt Banana bread in this house!
