Petrified!!

wow not sure what has come over me but I have just had a sudden slight panic attack.. I am not sure if I can do this!! what if I can't do this... what if my dress doesn't fit.. what if i get to where i thought and i don't like it... or the dress looks crap... and then there is the issue of excess skin... my arms are pretty big and i want to tone them up so i need to shrink them a little.. what if I have crazy amounts of excess skin... ZOMG..

Planing the rest of my life...


I have been told on occasion that I am a control freak, well so what if I am. Just coz I want to be organised and life to be organised doesn't make me a bad person... 

So with my control freakishness in full swing i am planning out my next 3-6 months worth of exercise, it is not an air tight schedule just some options that I refer to should I forget. 

A few main activities I do on a regular basis are Gym Classes, Dancing, Personal Training and Bootcamp. So blow is a list of the times they are all on and if one is not on (due to school holidays etc then ill pick up another activity). I am thinking Friday will be my day off as there really isn't much on that day that I enjoy doing... but i do need to slot my PT in there somewhere... 


Some fitness related goals I have sent from now until the end of June.
  • Attend 2 (possibly 3) Pump Classes a week
  • Walk/Jog 14ks at the runforkids event in April 
  • Complete c25k

Dear Mr Willpower...

It would be nice of you to show yourself....

Its like I go 2 or 3 days really good... then BAM! I hit a brick wall and eat everything in sight. Today I hate 2 chocolate bars, a magnum ice cream and a slurpee.. on top of Breakfast lunch and dinner.. then as i was cooking dinner i was starving so i had 3 (YES 3) pieces of toast with Jam.. I would love to get to the bottom of why i do this to myself.

Not much I can do now, I felt guilty so went for a walk with Tim and the dogs, I ran ahead and did a few exercises to get the heart rate up a bit (pushups, dips etc), I am sure I didn't burn that many cals but at least it was something right!

Apart from that I had a crappy day at work, it like I am a go to man to be yelled at and its getting really annoying. People do not do thier jobs correctly and I have to pick up the slack. I guess this sorta things happens in most work places but I am really getting jack of it. Maybe this is what triggers my crappy eating. Stress... hhmmm food for thought!

Anyways i best be off, I am going to document all my goals tomorrow ben thinking them through a lot and want to make sure they are achievable and measurable as Mish says.

Can you belive its 2012... Where has the time gone!!

I remember high school like it was yesterday, such an amazing time; no responsibly, no drama (besides who will be your friend today) and no being an adult!

I have done 1 round of 12WBT and something Mish said sticks with me like fly in a web "We are no longer teenagers so we need to stop eating like we are" I think once this resonated in my mind for a whole it was like DING DING DING.. The bells started to sound, I have been holding onto the past, what could have been and what was and guess what.. IT MADE ME FAT!. I could eat what I wanted and had to walk everywhere coz I didn't have a car.....

Let me introduce myself, I am Tara a 27 year old average girl from Melbourne Aust, I was not always from Melbourne I grew up in Sydney's western suburbs and did a 6 month stint in Adelaide before putting my roots down in Melbourne. I am getting married in 8 months (Aug 2012) and the thought of walking down the isle like i do today (or more importantly like I did in Jan 2011) makes me want to sit on the floor and cry.

In Jan 2011 looking at photos from Christmas I was mortified, I don't think it really hit me until then just how much weight I had put on. At a not so health 97kgs i  knew that I needed to do something. So I put to use the Gym membership I had had for almost 12 months and never used to good use. I got me a personal training who is AMAZING and I owe so much to her.. From Jan 2011 to Aug 2011 I lost 6.3kgs.. I was so close to being in the 80s but it was just taking to long doing it on my own, I didn't have the motivation and I couldn't curb my binge eating. So after some investigation (and some scepticism might I add) I signed up to Michelle Bridges 12WBT (www.12wbt.com)  and have not looked back..

In the 3 months (plus a few weeks pre-season) I lost 6.4kgs and I didn't stick to it 100% so the thought of what I could achive if i did it properly makes me super excited. I have signed up for the next round with a crazy 19.1kgs to lose before my wedding I am putting it out there to the world (or the world wide web and whom ever decides to read this).

A couple pics of how far I have come:
