One week down!

So week one of FTC #6 done and dusted! Clean and Lean eating all week. Although had a Hens Party on the weekend. Allowed myself two 30min frames to eat what i wanted. I think it worked well. I didnt feel like i missed out, and i still got to enjoy some not so healthy food. Even a few wines.
So today is a new day  and im back into it. No more party's coming up just the wedding in three weeks. I said at the start of the year i wanted to lose 10kg by the wedding, i am right on track!!! I can still achieve this.
Today was an exciting day for me! Elise is using me in her latest ad. Its about my time so far and warning people to watch out as i push it up a level and smash this challenge out of the water.
Here is a look at the ad!

What do u think??? Its pretty amazing hey?? I love that after pic!! Makes me feel so proud of how far i have come. And how amazing the next after pic is going to be. I so proud to be out there promoting Elise's business, as she has given me the world already, just wish i could give her everything she deserves. :)
So as week 2 begins, and i recover from my weekend. Full steam ahead. This week is the satrt of my Certificate 3 course! Very exciting! Wednesday night is the first session and then again Saturday. Looking forward to learning lots and putting it into action. We get to take half of a bootcamp every so often to. This will be AWESOME!! i cant wait to be able to train people. Just wish i could smash through it all a lil quicker. Just wanna get out there and get my story out there and start to help people change there lives for the better. Will be such an amazing gift!
So stay strong this week and eat Clean & Lean!
Until next time. MWAH!!

Bring it on! This challenge i feel in control and on top of everything. Only 80 days to go! not that im counting. :)

And so it begins again

Well the challenge is days away and i am on fire!! Was struggling with getting back on track with my eating, However with love, support and encouragment from those around me. I can honestly say ive done 1 whole week with no bad food. Clean and Lean!! Tomorrow i will weigh myself to see whats happened this week. I have felt alot of changes both physically and mentally this week. I feel very strong and in control and much more excepting of myself.
Funny story, the other afternoon i was doing something in the bathroom, when i looked into the mirror. I had to take two looks, i didnt know the person staring back me. Was it me? Of course it was? it was a happier, healthier me! I said to myself who are you?, when did theses changes happen?? I couldnt believe the changes i now see in my face. Things that everyone around me has probably been seeing for ages, but for me. It was the first time ive noticed, and it was with happy, healthy eyes. So i was impressed with my changes, and my attitude everything im doing right now. Definatley already in a great place mentally, and emotionally. But still working on things as they arise. But it is definatley easier to work through them when u are confident, happy and strong.
So what do i expect from FTC #6? My weight goal is 90-95KG, that is a loss of 25kg in 12 weeks. WOW?? most people would say. I say BRING IT ON! This is achievable, many people have done this before. I will stay strong, i will not give in, and i will reap the rewards!
Life just isnt the same anymore. Focused and determind i am!
Will fill u in on my other goals, when i really think about them.
Stay strong, eat clean and lean and you too can get the body of your dreams.
Love to you all.  Sandie xx

The start of something BIG!

Well i cant believe i have only posted once in this new year. So much has been going on. Back into training with Elise. Smashing all my weights and feeling stronger and stronger every week. Focused on my running. Ran one full lap of the lake without stopping, in the same time i had walked/ran last time. So i was very very excited.
I have been Sh'bamming alot. Which is awesome. for those that dont know Sh'bam is a les mills class, kinda like Body Jam but WAY BETTER!! I love adding this class into my roster as it gives me a chance to let my hair down and enjoy myself. Takes away the intensity of weight training and cardio. Who knows maybe one day ill be a Sh'Bam intsructor! :)
Last week i had a weigh in, ive lost another 1.9kg. So slowly getting closer and closer to being under that 110kg. I have a wedding in 6 weeks and i want to be under 110kg by the wedding. I will be giving myself the best chance i have.
Ive been focusing on my nutrition alot in the last few weeks, as nutrition is 90% of weight loss. I have my good days and bad days, but the good days and becoming more frequant. I find that when i have my (cheat) meals, i find it hard to get back on track. Im not sure if the sugar creeps back in. But im learning to be strong and just keep doing what im doing
This year i am not focusing on stuff ive done wrong, if ive done it, i cant change it. I can only move forward and learn and understand why i did it, and next time try and defeat it. This process will take time, but i feel im getting somewhere and improving. Thats the main thing i guess. :)
So this week i signed up to study Certificate 3 & 4 in Fitness. This means i can be a Personal trainer and do boot camps or be a group fitness instructor. Im very excited about where this will lead me, as i have for the past 5 years had such an interest in exercise and inspiring people. Already i have people wanting me to do boot camps for them, and train them. Secretly im a lil scared. I was talking to Elise the other day, about what id do etc, and i was saying that until i get to where i wanna go and be happy at where i am i was not going to do anything with my qualification. She thinks, that i would be ready NOW!!! (or once im qualified) as its not just about appearance, she feels i have so much more to offer clients already, with my experience and inspiration. That they would be so lucky to start with me asap. I was quite chuffed, that she said that. It was so kind of her. I know some people find me inspiring and stuff. but i guess i need to see that myself. As she said i obviously dont see what others see, so this is something i will be exploring throughout my certificates and training. Im intreiged as to where this may lead.
So the next FTC challenge starts on the 20th of Feb 2012. With everything else going on (eg. studying) i think this challenge is going to be by far my best!!! So keep an eye out, ill update with pics and measurements etc.
So next week i am working on staying clean and lean with my food, and being organised to help with that.
I will blog again very very soon. Watch out more pics to come!
Talk soon
