Round 2 12wbt - 2 Weeks In & How Are We Going?

Hi everyone!!! Well how have your first 2 weeks been going for this round of 12WBT?

I have been busy busy busy, with lots of gigs and trying to get in as much training as possible. I've done a few runs, and been seeing my trainer, Tennille, for my toning and muscle building sessions! I have been sore as - either in the legs or the arms - for most of the last 14 days!

Unfortunately though, sometimes the body just gives in, and for me, this has been the last few days. I woke on Sunday morning with a really sore throat, and by the time I got home Sunday afternoon, I was ready to park myself on the couch for the next few days - and that is what I did. I turned up to training this morning, hoping for some last chance training before weigh-in tomorrow, but was promptly sent out of the gym!! It is a new thing to get your head around, that you have gotten so used to actually getting up an exercising, that when you are virtually forced to sit on your butt and do nothing, you feel guilty about it! I couldn't resist some 'comfort food' while feeling unwell, so yesterday while keeping my fluids up with lots of water, my sore throat enjoyed some icy cold lemonade! I also enjoyed some yummy vegemite sandwiches made for me by the other half! Thank you!!! In between I had some healthy chicken & veg soup & lots of vitamin c filled mandarins & kiwi fruit! As I am so close to my goal weight, I will be ok if there isn't too much of a change this week on the scales, as I certainly have not been able to push it in my training.

How has your week been? Are you getting used to the changes in your nutrition and physical activity levels?

Round 2, 2012 - Are We Really Here Already???

Well hello hello!!!!

What a break from blogging it has been! I got to blogging my first 3 pre-season tasks from last round, and that was about it!! What a whirwind of a round, and how fast did Round 1 2012 go??!! I was happy to lose about another 4.5-5ish kilos, probably feel I could have gone harder, but happy to drop down another dress size or so, to an 8-10! The Melbourne workout and party was awesome and I need to do a post just about that, but for now, it's just time for another quick welcome.

Today is the 1st of June, and we are just 2 days away from Round 2, 2012 kicks off for week 1!! How exciting! This round I have LOTS of friends who have registered for their first round, and I cannot wait to see how they all go. Another friend, Emma, did really awesomely last round and made it into the top 20 transformations. Yay Emma!!!

One person I am most excited to see start, is my other half, Leonie. She has already dropped a few clothing sizes, just from the change in our diet at home, as she has mostly been eating 12wbt style for the last year too - however sweets are her downfall. I can see a few sugar withdrawals coming up in the next week or 2!! But her goal is for some rockin' abs, and you can follow her adventure at - pinkabsahoy.wordpress.com Just this morning doing our fitness test, she smashed me by about 15 seconds on the 1km time trial!!

Anyway, the alarm goes off soon, tomorrow morning is the weekly 5km free Park Run event, and then a busy day at work, before my HUGE 30km Kokoda Challenge Hike on Sunday - what a way to start round 2, 2012!!! There will be much to tell you about over the next few days!

I've made promises before, but this time, I really hope to blog a few times a week as I so much want to share my adventures with you all. I am constantly thinking 'this would be great to share' etc, but never have found the time. I have ideas a plenty for lots of different things - just need to get the time to get them all out of my head and into the big scary land of internets!
