My 12 WBT Journey

My Commitment

My commitment to My hubby, My future babies, Mish, the 12wbt family and most importantly to myself.
I COMMIT to the full 12 weeks of the 12WBT Program
I COMMIT to following the food plan at least 95% of the time
I COMMIT to getting back on track if I fall down
I COMMIT to exercising, even if just for 30minutes 6 days out of EVERY WEEK
I COMMIT to losing 10kg's by the end of the 12 Weeks

I COMMIT to a better to continuing this journey after 12 weeks.
I COMMIT to a better life for my family and for me
I COMMIT to reaching my most important goal of a BMI under 30 in the next 18 months
I COMMIT to a sustainable journey that means that I live the next 18months of this journey, enjoying life with my husband, and it not being all about my weight loss
I COMMIT to making changes that are sustainable and will see me reach my goals.

This is a lot to commit to, but It all comes back to two things. Committing to the 12WBT and committing to getting into the game and off of the sidelines.



the Queen of Excuses

Up until around 7 years ago when I met my hubby, I was sitting at around 80kg, but was still fairly active and pretty fit. I definitely proved being big didn't mean unfit. Then I met hubby and I was so absorbed in him that I didnt put myself first. Then came a very very rocky relationship while we worked out he had Bi-Polar, and without using it as an excuse it was difficult. But I let my unhappiness, my need to spend time with him, or my want to zone out and read to escape the world as an excuse to eat whatever and no longer exercise. I also matched my food portions with his already over sized food portions. Yup eating way too much and not exercising. So I started putting weight on, then PCOS really started to rear its ugly head and show all the painful horrid symptoms. So now 7 years later, I have pretty much all the symptoms of PCOS, I still eat badly, using the excuse that PCOS makes it impossible to lose weight anyway, and dont exercise as I have issues with my feet, and back issues from having a car accident. The funny thing is, the weight causes all of these things to be a problem.

Here come the next excuses, I work full time and study full time. Yes its busy. BUT...like everything I leave studying til last minute so I actually have heaps of time. And the latest one..I drive an hour each way to and from work...oh boohoo, Im home by 5 most days, that's heaps of time. 

so here I am, nearly 30 and way too unhealthy. Hubby and I desperately want a family, but now suffer infertility, and we kept saying we needed to make changes, and after 6 years of pining for a child we are so far away from there. 

I have now started making changes..and I want this to work. I want children, I want to be back in a size 12-14, and a want to have the energy to do all the things I want to do. eg hiking, exploring, kayaking, jogging, walking, cycling etc oh and a gorgeous wardrobe

I want to stop being lazy...cos that what it comes down to..I need to stop being LAZY
