getting fit, living life and random musings

c25k run done. not afraid to admit that it was because I posted it on tumblr that I got to the gym in the end. whatever works right?

week 2 run 3 tomorrow. I’m planning to do some strength training tonight.

on a side note: why must it be so cold!

Since running the City2Sea last November, I stopped running. I think I was in a rut and just not enjoying it anymore, so I gave myself a break. Which went from 1 week to 4… to well, pretty much now.

I have lost so much fitness so I’ve decided to restart the C25K since it did so much for me the first time around.

I started a few weeks ago, but I’m behind schedule - missing a few runs here and there. In the spirit of my new mantra of “don’t be perfect, JFDI” I am not berating myself about taking it slower, I will get there and even if it’s a case of two steps forward, one step back as long as the trend is in the right direction I’m not going to fret.

Tonight is Week 2 run 2 and I will get it done!

So. After months of lurking, I’ve resurfaced and am making a commitment. I need to get myself back on track. I need to be honest with myself and everyone else.

I have backslided a fair bit. I’m still better than I was at my worst but not by much. Enough is enough. I think I’ve been so hard on myself to be perfect, that every attempt that was less than par led to old habits.

I signed up to Michelle Bridges 12 Week Body Transformation (12wbt) and I’m going to give it my best. And I’m going to forgive myself for every slipup that will occur because nobody’s perfect but I’ll only fail when I stop trying.

So for my preseason task #4:

I commit to reaching my goal of losing 10 kilos in 12 weeks.

I commit to documenting my successes and failures.

I will celebrate my successes and forgive my failures and always, always move forward!

omg congrats!!!

thanks hun! still processing it all :D

between my sister’s wedding, then getting engaged, and now planning my sis and my Japan trip that I leave for in a week and a half (say what?!) I have been busy, busy, busy!

Again, it seems like my health, fitness, eating habits and exercise have fallen by the wayside amidst the craziness that is my life… happy to say that I have maintained like a mofo though.

I think I have to just accept that life is full of unpredictability and go with it. Whenever my routine seems to get disrupted even by a little my brain just goes “blow the lot of it!”

So from now on, I’m working on it a step at a time. No perfect expectations so that little bumps don’t throw me off course.

Things I need to get fit for:

September 2012: Tough Mudder - yep, I signed up for this bad boy and convinced some of my friends too, so I better step up my game so as to not embarrass myself royally.

July 2013: Our tentative wedding date. I’m gonna be a hot ‘n sexy bride :)

I may not have my dream body but I will rock the bridesmaid’s dress
