I'm back in for Round 4 12wbt!

I started this blog a couple of weeks ago as friends starting preparing for Round 4 of Michelle Bridges' 12 Week Body Transformation. Money is fairly tight with me and I'm searching for work over the Christmas holidays so, although I knew I would benefit from rejoining the program for another round, I couldn't justify it financially.

On Friday, just before it was too late, I had a lovely surprise. Three friends, who have been inspired by my journey to start living a healthier life, volunteered to pay for me to register! I was very touched.

So, in addition to job hunting and report writing, I've spent the past two days preparing for the next twelve weeks. I have new goals, menu plan and am looking forward to trying the new Advanced 10km running program.

My one month goals are as follows....

1. To get back under 80kg by follow my nutrition program exactly,
    embracing my workouts and avoiding comfort eating.
2. To run the 10km at Sussan Women's Fun Run on December 8 in
    65-70 minutes as well as City2Sea next weekend (am not going
    to put any time goals on this one as I have a number of different
    friends running and want to just enjoy it :)).
3. Ensure I'm going to be financially ok over the Christmas school
    holidays.
4. Enjoy end of Term 4 concerts with my students and my own
    Christmas gigs - take the time to enjoy a job I love!
5. Prioritise things I find enjoyable and relaxing, including yoga,
    running, reading, my music, church, films and spending time
    with friends and family.

By the end of the round I want to be running 10km in under an hour like I did in March this year.

 

I made a good start on goal number five today, spending a couple of hours at a Health and Wellness Expo after church and really looking after myself.

 

1. Feeling refreshed after a free massage, facial and basic makeover.

 

 

 

2. Taking part in a Zumba class using 'Silent Disco' headphones (sorry for

the blurry photo - we were all dancing too much :)).

 

 

 

 

3. Doing a 'Laughter Yoga' workshop.

 

 

 

 

We're encouraged on the 12wbt to be open about our goals and journey, so I'll be keeping this blog up to help throughout the next twelve weeks.

 

Have a great week everyone!
