So I've been a little naughty and haven't posted anything since the day before kick off... oops my bad. So all up so far 1.1kgs which i am a little disappointed with but it is my own fault. I had a major red flag day and think i literally put a kilo on in the one day. But hey i dusted myself off and went straight back to the gym the next day. (Woop go me)
So anyway, the point of my blog today. I played a game of netball tonight for the first time in about 4 years and i got Most Valuable Player! A little coupon for a free drink at the bar which i may just hand on to someone else but MVP!!! Oh my gosh i was so excited, i was able to run and have got so much agility even compared to what i used to. Scored 15 goals only missing once ahh it was just so great.
Anywho, my 12wbt has be trotting along okay but its time for me to put my head down and bum up and JFDI!!!!! Lookout cause I'm on my way!

My... i guess you could call it.. light bulb moment.
I must admit, although i have been going to the gym around 3-4 times a week for the last 4 months, i realised today that it’s only ever been half hearted. I got up today after a nice long sleep in and decided i should go to the gym (i’d slacked off even more so the last week despite being excited about this program). So as i started to get my gym gear ready i had already sub conciously decidedthat it wasn’t going to be a full work out, as my muscles have been quite sore the last two days but neveer the less i went. When i got to the gym i decided that i would start Mish’s learn to run program and off i went, after i finished 15 minutes i had burnt close to 200 calories. So next it was the bike followed by the cross trainer and by then end of that my watch said 500 calories and wow was i stoked. It was then i realised i just couldn’t help myself i jumped straight back on to the treadmill andpumped out another 15 minutes. It was then i started getting closer and closer to 1000 calories and i was loving it. I ran as hard as i could and for as long as i could and wow did i work up a sweat.
In the end, after 1 hour and 10 minutes i had burned over 1000 calories. And it struck me, what if i trained this hard every time, i would already weigh a lot less than i do now. This might seem silly to some people but it was a big moment for me today, i got home from the gym the most buggered i think i had ever been and yet in such a positive mood
Ahh i think i finally found my love for the gym

Measurement Time!
Arghhh the dreaded day finally arrived :S Having to face reality and see how much i truely had let myself go... On the up side atleast it wasn't a few months ago when i was 7 kg's heavier, so i took my measurements and decided i would compare them to the ones i took in february this year and boy was i pleased :)
Weight = -7.1kgs
Chest= -8.5 cm
Waist= -7 cm
Hips= -6 cm
Thighs= -4.5cm
So in the few months of going to the gym and trying to eat 'healthier' i lost 7.1kgs and 26cms off of my body :D I'm going to smash this round and get even better results with the 12wbt! I can;t wait bring on monday :D
Anyway, despite having these great results and having a massive ego boost, the dreaded before photo, arghh its so horrible! But i decided im going to print it and have it somewhere that i look everyday as a constant reminder of where i don't want to be. I don't think im game enough to post it her on its own... maybe once i get my after photo alongside it :)
Well that's my little rant, today im eagerly sitting at my computer wait for Mish to release the week 1 program, apparently it will be up before lunch.
Thanks for reading :)

Too Excited for Kick Off!!!!
I must admit, I've never been so great and 'blogging' or just writing down whats going through my head, but meh lets give it a go :)
The anticipation and build up to the 12BWT is amazing. There are so many people out there that have inspired me in so many ways :) And I can't thank you all enough. Here's to hopefully being one of those inspiring people myself in 12 weeks time haha! The forums on the site are just a dream, its such a fantastic thing to have support from so many people!
I feel like such a little child constantly on the website checking if there is a new pre-season task up... does anyone actually know what days they are released? But i just cannot wait, this is a new step for me, i'm excited, I've lost 7 kilos so far so I've had a bit of a taste of weight loss but after seeing and hearing about so many people's results, I'm even more so excited. I did some shopping today and ought a new folder to keep everything i print organised, I decided that I'm also going to use it as a motivational folder, maybe put down my results there for something to see and some progress photos along the way. who knows.
Anyway today was a great day, my diet was squeeky clean and i went mental at the gym which always makes me feel better :) Uni has been such a drainer, 4 assignments due with 2 weeks of each other urghhh! But on the upside 3 down and 1 to go :) I had a bit of a light bulb moment with this today, I realised that I've been studying like a crazy person and working, yet I've still had time to go to the gym ateast 4 sessions a week. So if I ever use the excuse that I don't have enough time, please slap me across the face haha.
Well I think thats all for now, kinda getting tired 1am on a school night is not so great, maybe i should stop with the nana naps!
Well thanks for listening to me rant.

My 12WBT Journey begins shortly.....
Okay so, my very first blog.... quite a daunting feeling to be honest.
Anywho, my name is Claire, i'm 20 years old, i decided in february this year once i reached a whopping 91kgs (at a height of 159cms) that it was time to lose weight. I did go and join and gym and i must admit to this day i am enjoying it, but since february i have lost a total of 7kgs and to me this is like a snails progress. So today i joined the 12 week body transformation in hope that it will kickstart my weight loss.
So let's be real here, I'm 20 years old, I'm a student, and I'm working as a nurse. I am absolutely disgusted that i can go to work and go on and on and on about which foods are the better option and which ones will optimise my health, yet I can't practice it myself? How does that work?
I've always been quite a short girl, growing up with names like mighty mouse and shorty, but can you inagine how 91kgs is distributed over a small body like that? I can tell you it looks horrible!
So here I am, trying to get to the bottom of why I've been holding myself back, I know i don't want to be the fat girl anymore, I just want to be me... whoever that is... so I invite you to come along with me on this journey of transforming my body and my mind, Because i'm shooting for the stars this time :)
