Round 3 Week 3 Blog Challenge - Find the Joy

Okay so I know I'm behind for the Blogging Challenge so today I'm catching up :)

So the task is to Find the Joy.... well make a list of the things (non food orientated) self nurturing that bring you Joy.

So here is my list.....

Being with Friends and Family
Catching a movie.... especially on my own.... extra-specially a kiddies animated movie!
Walking with my dog
Walking with my dog down the beach in the sunshine
The after RPM (Spin) feeling... I actually catch myself singing a lot!
Listening (& singing terribly!) to music... especially old school favs like ABBA, Queen, Michael Jackson!
Holidays and Christmas time!

Round 3 Blogging Challenge - Number 2 Paint Me a Picture

CONFIDENT! Ill be feeling lighter, fitter, healthier and happier with myself and proud of my achievements! 

The Second 12wbt!

Alrighty... as you can see my last blogging attempt in Round 1 (Round2 officially) went really well one post!!

To get up to date I lost 5.8kgs last round! WooHoo!! That is why I decided to go again this round!

I have my wedding in March 2012 so Im working myself into a hot bride!

This round I hope to get down to 68kgs which is 7kgs from where I am now, feel fit and healthy!
Then next year Ill jump on the first round for the year and hope to ultimately get to 64kgs for my wedding!

Short & Sweet as I have to get onto my Intro blog for Kath's challenge!

My journey through the 12wbt to the real me!

Okay so its week three on the 12 week body transformation (see 12wbt) and im down with a NASTY flu!

This happens every time I attempt a weight loss journey, working out successfully for the first week all of the challenge days, then the next week starting to feel crappy skipping days and then this week coming down badly with the flu!

Its like the universe doesn't want me to exercise!

Im proud though that I have mostly stuck to the meal plans and have lost weight so far (1.9kgs at last weigh-in).

I'm going to do it, I'm going to succeed this time, I have faith in the program, once I'm better I'm going to get back into the exercise but until then Im sticking to the calorie control!

I need to do my four week, eight week and twelve week event/goals still? any ideas?
