A big wake up call!

     I have done my body measurements and I will measure again in two weeks! I even took a photo of  my self trying to fit into the Jeans I want to fit into. Is it really possible?  I'm not comfortable putting them up for the world to see yet. It was like a slap in the face! A big wake up call! My fifteen year old is very fit and loves netball ( I was at that age too) but I still need to be a good role model. My nine year old is at that age where my actions in everything I do influences her life and how she forms her own belief and values.

   After reading a lot of other peoples stories on the forums on Michelle Bridges 12 WBT and on blogs I realise that I am lucky that I don't smoke or drink. I might have a glass of wine or beer a few times a year! It would be difficult to tackle this issue as well!    I bought a polar heart rate watch and I cant believe the difference its made, I have a heart rate target and its up to me to keep in that zone and now I am loving the challenge. I record the details from the watch to the polar training web page and I can see at a glance my training sessions. A DAY AT A TIME!!!

  1. well done Christy! sounds like you are setting yourself up for great results. I'm also hearing you on the heartrate monitor- they are such a good motivator.
