Michelle Bridges 12WBT, Round 1 2012

I overcome my chocolate cravings by smelling cocoa. A huge percent of taste is in the smell of food - strange but true - and I find cocoa gets rid of the craving and there is no temptation as raw cocoa isn't very nice! Lol.

I love Ovaltine Light Break also but I will compare it to the Jarrah's to see which has the least calories. Just had a quick look on Calorie King and looks like Jarrahs are my new choc drink of choice! Lol.
I made my first change today (besides the ones I have already done) I have started getting up 1hr earlier to get some exercise in while the kids are still sleeping. It was great but I was shattered around 10am! Lol. Of course the girls were full of beans and wanting to play and be crazy. Lol.

Did my fitness test today. I'm not that fit lol. I think I could do 1km a lot faster if I wasn't in work clothes and the ground was flat, I reckon I'll fix that at the four week check. I suck at push up so bad lol, I'll be practicing those like crazy!

Can't wait to get the meal plans, I really need good healthy food ideas, our meals are getting so boring!

I'm finding there is really no motivation like the scales. Last week the numbers were dropping and it was so exciting, no way did I want to ruin it! But Saturday was a crappy day, I couldn't exercise and then we caved and had pizza for dinner. Scales on Sunday weren't happy lol. But it just made me think the pizza wasn't worth it, and getting in at least some exercise really is worth it. Back on the wagon now and feeling good :)

How's everyone else doing with today's task?

I haven't done the fitness test yet. Im struggling to find a 1km route! Im playing on mapmy run trying to devise something that lands me back at home for the rest and then i will smash it out tomorrow.
i also commit to finishing the organise task tomorrow as well as it is currently incomplete.
i also cant wait for the recipes as im really stuck for meals and havent been prepping for the week very well at all.

Right, I'm signed up and ready to do this!

Welcome Aimz!!

I haven't done my fitness test yet. I might do it on Saturday morning. I've got a 1km track I normally follow.

Got a couple of preseason tasks to get my teeth into tomorrow to catch up and I better drink a TONNE of water because I've not done so today. Naughty me.

I was really slack on my water intake this week N and I had a lesser loss which was a bit disappointing.

I have set my 4week mini as 1000 steps. Not sure how ill arrange it yet, if husband will come with or if I will PT it the 2.5hrs there and back (o.O) but got 4 weeks to figure it out.
Then my 8 week is a little early and I have signed up for and paid Run Melbroune 5km - my first fun run wooohooo. Doubt my hubby is going to be impressed as im going to have to drag him everywhere or put DD on a bottle occassionally. I dont think the second will happen.

Im annoyed as I have one helluva sore throat and i am craving milk for it so badly. I am going to struggle to drink water and fight the desire for flavoured milk until it goes away.

Oh, I did my fitness test. Smashed the 1km with 7m40s which I was stoked with as I was expecting close to 10mins.
The others were all as I expected, very low - but more room for improvement.
Im also off to the gym tomorrow to sign up and then i will diarise properly over the weekend with my new timetable. Yeeha.

Dragoncookie - I will do the 1000 steps with you! I have done them a few times now and they are my fitness benchmark. It's HARD work but you can stop as often as you need. Each time I go it gets that little bit easier.

I'd love to do it with you!

And if you just get yourself to Melbourne I will drive us :)

SO, the meal and exercise plans are now open for week one, but so many people must be accessing the site that I can't get on!! Crazy!!

I'm looking forward to seeing if the meals plans have changed much.

I looked at the fitness test and freaked out. I've been resting my very sore back for 2 days now and have no idea how I'm going to walk 1 km. It will probably take me an hour!

I'm in but it's very slow. Trying to figure out a way to get the plan downloaded onto my iPad.

Excited and so motivated.

I'm glad it's not just me having issues with the site! I wanted print the stuff while I was at work, but not sure if I'll be able to. Might have to wait a while I think! It's a bummer though because I've been so excited to get the meal plans and go shopping tomorrow.

Just thinking - should we start a Round 2 thread?

Yeah, I definitely think so ;)

Ummm, okay so where do I find the meal plans etc or are they still to come?

I haven't done todays task yet nor completed the fitness test. I am gonna HATE putting up a half naked pic of myself! Thankfully no one else can see it!

New thread here :)
