Fitness Project Update

Last week a started my Can I lose 10kg in 12 weeks Fitness Project so every Monday will bring a weigh in and update on my progress.

Weight Loss- 1.5kg

I feel like I've lost the double chin I started to get...Yay! When I look in the mirror I feel like my skin looks healthier.

Work outs- It feels good to be exercising again. In saying that I wasn't as unfit as I thought I would be....maybe running around after the girls is doing something. I found running some days were harder then others but all in all because it's only 20 mins it's not too time consuming; which I need. I am really enjoying my boxing bag for my upper body workouts. I am sore but it's a good pain.

Food- I eat healthy anyway so this was never going to be hard for me however I am having to remind myself to eat lunch because when I am working I get so focused on what I'm doing I forget to eat. So yesterday I made a big batch of soup so it's there and just have to heat it up.

It's much easier to eat healthy when you workout because you know how much work you've put into losing it and you really don't what to jeopardise that.

Can I lose 10Kg in 12 Weeks...Fitness Project

Today I embarked on my new fitness regime and thought I would share my journey with you and maybe inspire you to jump on board.

My goal
* Lose 10 kilos in 12 weeks

I have decided to do the Body for Life routine because it's great if you're time poor and it's simple and it makes sense to me.

Meals
You have one "free day" a week the idea is to have 5 small meals and basically fill up on salad and vegetables and protein is the size of your fist.

So my biggest challenge will be to actually eat during the day and have a smaller meal at night. I often work through lunch because I am in the zone however I will have to make an effort the stop and eat.

Exercise

20 minutes cardio 6 days a week. Basically the 20 minutes cardio is designed in a way that you maximise your 20 mins and you don't get bored. The thought process is that work outs shouldn't be long for example the fitter you get the longer the workouts? No it's about pushing yourself. So the 20 minutes looks like this-



1. Warm up the first 2 minutes at Intensity Level 5
2. Minutes 2-3 move from Intensity Level 5 to 6
3. Minutes 4-5, 6-10 and 11-14 work your way from Intensity Level 6 to Level 9, maintain for one minute.
4. Minutes 15-19 work your way from Intensity Level 6 to Level 10 (High Point at Level 10), maintain for one minute.
5. Minute 20 cool down to Intensity Level 5 for one minute.


Weight Training
3 times a week and alternating between upper and lower body this should only take 25 minutes.

Abs you do everyday or 6 days that you're training.

For more info on Body For Life or to view their success stories you can go to www.bodyforlife.com

So who's in with me? I will be updating you every week over the next 12 weeks so I would love to have on board.

You Have a Choice

Every move we make and every decision we make...we create and we choose our path.

It's so much easier to think that is was someone else's fault, that we are not accountable or responsible. Oh but the good stuff....we made that happen of course we did! Somethings are out of our control however ultimately we still get to choose how we proceed or digest the information.

Stuff happens and you feel like your alone, that no one understands. I don't know is that a way of us deciding that we are not ready to talk because if we talk then we need to be prepared to make decisions or take action.

When something positive happens in our lives we call someone, we shout it from the roof tops there are so many people who we can tell. Right?

Do you see where I am going with this?

Why is it that when positive things happen we can tell and talk to anyone and everyone but when negative things happen we freeze up and have this need to bottle it up and not tell anyone...how weird is that!

My point is you, me...we all have a choice and two minds are better then one right? We create our own destiny. Our past, our "stuff" that may have helped shape us but that doesn't define who we are and what we are going to do.

We decide that!

Success Comes in Cans

Why and How?
Not cant's...
What you focus on expands; that's why it is crucial that you focus on the can's.



Don't get me wrong I know heaps of people you draw on life or business from a "feel sorry for me" or "this person sucks because...." place and do well from it. However is this really where you want to draw your motivation from? Really? No, no way. While it works well for some people you clearly need to wonder about the underlying happiness. However on the flip side of that we have to remember-

What similarities do families, teams or friends have with a jigsaw puzzle?

* They all have to fit together
* The completed/whole picture is better then the individual
* It takes all different shapes to make the whole picture, each piece isn't the same.
* You need to find the right pieces
* All pieces are interconnected
* Each piece has a part to play and is needed in the right sequence
* There are natural groupings
* The solution can be fragile
* Some pieces are central and some are peripheral
* Pieces need someone to move them
* Patience

Celebrate Everyday

Make every day a day to celebrate life and be thankful. Look to every day as a day of new beginnings, opening your heart to positive hope and unlimited potential.

Take time to pull yourself away from all the noise and just look around you. Take inventory. Appreciate those who have enhanced the quality of your life and remember that they have been a gift to you. Also remember that you're a gift to them, too.

Be grateful for the choices you've made, both good and bad. Accept your mistakes: you can't change them anyway. Apply what you've learned and go on.
Use these lessons to help you with your other decisions in life. Appreciate yourself and your own uniqueness. Go outside and look at the sky. Soak in the atmosphere. Enjoy the colors of the landscape. Feel the textures of every place you're thankful for. Smile at the world. Don't allow any negative feelings to creep into your consciousness. Feel the power of your own acceptance. Put a positive spin on every thought you have.

Make every day special. Own it. Enjoy it. Bask in the glory of life. Appreciate the gift of your own life.

How are your 2010 goals going? Check in...

Here we are half way through the year in 2010...already!

Now is a great time to check in to see how your goals are going. Are you on track? What I find a little difficult is writing down a list a my goals that is for the whole year. So this year I actually gave myself time frames to go by which makes it much easier to track your goals.

My 2010 personal goals-

* Move into house- Check
* Re structure work load so I'm not working until 2am 3 times a week- Check
* Lose weight- Mmm! Work in progress but I'm on my way. I have a new work out regime so it's great to be back on the horse.
* Spend quality time with my family- Check

So I must say I am travelling pretty good. So I am happy with my progress of my personal goals. How am I travelling with my business goals?

* eCourse written and launched- Check...now I am actually re working it as per my clients requests...watch this space.
* Home study pack written and launched- Check
* Event by March- Check...I have done my seminar as well as Bras, Boobs & Bubbles nights. However this is an ongoing element for Bra Queen both the seminar and the bra workshops have been extremely well received.
* My blog hosted on it's own domain- Mmm! Well I am working on this as we speak I promise. So yes I am re launching this blog which is super cool.
* Book published- Work in progress I have actually got the most exciting book concept that is going to be out of this world! Eeeee!

So all in all 2010 for me is going extremely well, I am working super hard and have to force myself to stop and enjoy the process.


Reality Check- The most important thing is to celebrate and enjoy everyday to recognise what and when we accomplish something and celebrate at the time. Reward ourselves because we work really hard to accomplish our goals. We are agents of action on a train to awesomeville... I hope you haven't stepped off.
