Saying it out loud!

My biggest addiction is Coke!  Add to that a love of food, a definite lack of exercise & we have a bad situation. I'm mortified to say that I haven't been within my healthy weight range since my wedding back in 1997. I've come close once or twice but I've never reached my goal weight & I always put the weight back on (plus more) when I go off the "diet" I'm on.

This year, I've been so inspired by my friend Sarah's success with Michelle Bridge's 12WBT program. Apart from losing weight & gaining fitness, you can hear the pride & zest for life that Sarah has found through this program. So I made the decision that I want this for myself!

So what makes this time different? Well, 12WBT is as much about changing your mindset as it is about changing your health. And if there's one thing I know, my mindset needs the most work!

Why am I telling you this LOL?!! Hmmmm, if it was up to me, I probably wouldn't but Task 5 is all about saying it out loud, telling everyone who'll listen, putting it out there in the universe & making myself accountable.  So, with a very deep breath, here goes ...

I commit to:

• be aware of my excuses & use my solutions
• not just talk the talk, but walk the walk
• focus on each day/hour/minute ... whatever it takes
• work hard on each task I'm given & revisit them regularly
• trust Michelle & her program.  I too can be one of her many success stories!
• prepare healthy & nutritious meals for the benefit of not only me, but my family
• train hard six days a week
• spend time in the forum both encouraging & being encouraged
• not give up or hide from any mistakes.  I will admit it, own it, move on.
• understanding that only I can make this change.  

So there you have it!  Pre-season is still happening for anyone who's interested in coming along for the ride. Round 3 kicks off officially on September 12th so watch this space for a healthier, fitter me :).
