Hello!
I am new to blogging and new to the 12WBT! But im excited about both!
After seeing my stunning Friend Emma D (Durbs) drop 12kg and seriously transform the way she looks I am keen to get the same.
Nicolle her house mate and my friend is also looking fabulous and im pumped we can all do round 2 together along with our other besite Sarah.
I am a pretty active person who runs at 100 mile an hour ( wouldnt have it any other way) and have always enjoyed exercise and a variety of it too. I still play basketball and I love it. I started my running career in January this year when i got a Call from Emma...
went something like
E: "hiiiiiiiii what are you doing on wednesday?"
S: " i dunno, what am i doing on wednesday?"
E: wanna do the super sunset series fun runs with me?"
S: "how long is it"
E: "4km"
S: " i dont think i can run 1km"
E: "neither can i"
S: " then sure why not???!!"
E: great ill send you the link and sign up"
So wednesday came and we ran, we remember the 1km mark ... "oh sh*t we did 1km" hahah
that was great, what a feeling it is running with a herd! i managed to get to the end of the 4km without stopping, great track around the Zoo, what a great idea! Esma came in not long after, we both looked pretty stuffed but shit were we motivated to become runners!
So we started running, about once a week, i tried a few more only managing 3,4,5km and make myself a life goal to run 10km! So about a week ago (May 15ish) i ran 10km! time for a new life goal!! that was a great feeling. I went on to do the other 2 super sunset series and bettered my time each time and made it up that awful anderson street hill.... ewww
We also did the mothers day classic 4km - we probably shoudl have done the 8km as 4km was very quick! but we all ran great times.... Ive gota get faster!!
Emma and Nicolle took me and sarah to the 12WBT finale at Catani Gardens on a pretty frightful saturday morning and i needed no more motivation to sign up for round 2!!
We also thought we better create a team name, so its Team "Team" with Me as TT#1, Nic as TT#2, Emma as TT#3 and Sar as TT#4 just for furture ref.
Being 6ft i am not a light person and i dont think i ever will be but i am struggling to loose any kg!!! i have been trying quite hard since mid-late last year after quitting smoking ( still a non smoker btw) i have always exercised my whole life but i am at the point where i need help! i need diet help and maybe some other exercises to do to get results, dont get me wrong, i feel great from running but its not showing on the scales. i am still working with my doc and my naturopath to see if there are any other reasons why my weight will not shift! i did find out one part of my thyroid function is slightly high which i have taken herbal medications for but nothing seems to be changing anymore,.,, stay tuned!
Ok so thats about where im up to, ready and raring to start this 12WBT and have a smoking hot bod by the time i go to the maldives in October!!!
Peace, Love and Happiness. TT#!
This was me at SS#3
