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! :)
