Mini Excitements of a Relatively Boring Day

Small victory -

I just walked away from the plate of mini chocolate muffins at work and, being very satisfied with my small bunch of grapes, honestly didn't feel like any yucky fatty chocolate muffins!

Also I went for a run this morning and really pushed myself to 'run' (not jog!) the whole length :-)

Feeling good.

Can't wait to officially start the big Body Transformation challenge. Shopping this weekend for a start on Monday! :-)

Uued algused - New beginnings

My first blog entry for 2011 and, in fact, my first blog entry ever! I have started this in an effort to document, what I hope is, a successful and powerful year for myself. I want to have a personal record and account, I guess, of the journey that I'll take and the things I experience over the year and perhaps into the next few years!

I am starting with my overall goal to achieve absolute health and fitness. I'm about to embark on a huuuge challenge that will see me training 6 x weekly and eating a very healthy but very balanced diet. It's based on Michelle Bridges' 'Crunch Time' book and is a pre-stage to me signing up for her online program. I'm in my first year of work and unfortunately money is still a little skint so I'm trialling my own application of Mish's methods before I commit 200 precious dollars to the big challenge! I guess the overall aim is not so much to lose weight (although my goal weight is about 5-7kg lighter!!). But instead I want to strive to achieve fitness goals that little me (chubby school-aged me) would never have dreamed of!

In 2011 I want to:

a) Complete a triathlon

b) Run the city2surf again

c) Surround myself with good people and good environments

d) Challenge myself in something - I haven't decided as of yet exactly what this will be!

e) Continue to push myself @ work and strive for excellence in the tasks I take on

f) Be a good daughter, sister, friend and girlfriend :)

g) Be happy and never ever ever ever take for granted what I have

These are my goals and ambitions for my year but hopefully, as I achieve some, I start to make more and more along the way! I'd love to hear from like minded people who are seeking a bit of inspiration and support in achieving their goals.

I'm feeling excited and anxious but very much looking forward to the challenge and, I guess, seeing what I'm really made of! :)
