The final Week!!!!

So its the final week of the FTC!!!
Wow!! 12 weeks has gone so quick, But i have achieved some amazing goals.
My first goal i achieved was a few weeks ago, when i pushed my heaviest weight ive ever been (which was 151kg) on the sled. Well i did 151.25kg!! What a feeling that was, its was soooo hard to push. I cant believe i use to be that heavy. I will never ever be going back to that weight.
My second goal, well it was a goal i had from the very first FTC challenge, was to run on the treadmil at level 10 for at least 1 minute. This challenge we have been doing a lot of running, so over the past two weeks i have been working hard on my running, to allow myself to smash my Time trail as well. Then it rained on the Time Trial day, but we went to the gym, and still did running. Interval running at our best time! In the first 5 mins, i already wanted to attempt level 10! Which i did!!! I was sooooo pumped that i kept going and ended up running at 12.5!!! I was sooo proud of myself. Now i just have to keep it going and anything can happen now. Ill be running the lake without stoppping before i know it! That is a long term goal for me.
Although i find alot of things i am so proud of, they are the two things i have/had been working towards.
So this was by far the toughest 12 weeks out of the whole year. Was definatley a mental challenge this time. But now i know i can do anything.
Between now and the next challenge i am going to prove to myself, that i can stick at it. And that all this effort and lifestyle change is for good, and not just a temporary thing.
I have 3 weeks with elise then 3 weeks without her, then its back into it again in the new year.
Next year is the year i WILL get to my goal weight!
Its been 1 year and 5 months and i have lost 32+ kgs!!!!! so another 32-40 will have me at my goal for sure!! I can see how im going to get there and i just need to stick at it!!!
So final weigh in is on Friday morning!! I will post my update results then.
I have my outfit for the dinner which is in a few weeks. I cant wait to let my hair down with some awesome ppl. so looking forward to the whole night!! Its going to be very very fun i just know it!
So until friday! Stay Strong! Work hard! and Live Large!!!

Your never alone!

So its been a few weeks since ive posted. Whats been happening?? Training is going fabulous! Smashing my weights and getting stronger and stronger. Eating has been on track! had a few nights out, but nothings going to stop me. Only lost .5kg in two weeks, but life goes on and so i continue on my way and see what the next one holds. Lifes to short to worry about that stuff. Yeah its not as much as i would have liked and i didnt reach my goal of being under 120kg, but on the flip side  I have lost 30kg exactly!!! Thats fricken amazing!!! I have come so far!
So in this blog, i want to dedicate it to my support system. Losing weight is an individual journey, but by all means i have not done this alone. Yes i have done the hard work and eaten the correct food, but it has been with Love, Encouragement, and Friendship from the very start that has helped me through. Weight Loss is so much more than just working out and eating right. The mental side is unbelieveable! It is nothing like i expected, it is so much more! Without beautiful people like Elise Trussler (my Trainer) and Lauren Brewer( my bestie, whom i met at the start of my journey) my life has changed so much. With them helping me in any and every way possible i am so ever greatful to have had these angels sent to me to help me through this journey.
I have been amazed with the changes in my life, with my friends, family and new inspirations. Life is so better, and i have grown and changed in so many ways. Physically, amazing the changes i feel and see, and the complements i recieve. I just dont believe it sometimes. My mental state to everything in my life is now so positive, im excited by what lies ahead for me, and im excited about the rest of my journey and the changes i will continue to make. Day by day life is one GIANT party! Im so happy to be alive and i plan to live my life with everything i have!! Nothing can stop me now!
