Measurements

My current measurements are:

Weight - 64.5kg
Chest - 88cm
Waist - 65cm
Hip - 92cm
Arm - 25cm
Legs - 51cm

I was a bit loathe to take them since I suspected they would be a little higher.

As it is my weight has gone up by a kilo or two, my chest has gone up a bit (though I don't mind that), my waist has gone up a bit & everything else is relatively the same. It's quite an interesting distribution---- I'm the most worried about the waist measurement going up since it could indicate I'm storing more fat... I've always really liked how skinny my waist is too >_< At least it hasn't gone up to pre-12wbt levels.

My Commitment

My commitment is to continue eating healthy and exercising regularly. My commitment is to not let my old habits slip back in and to continue my path to being the person I want to be---- a strong, independent woman who never backs down.

Exams Over

Well my exams are over & it's really time for me to get moving with my training! I'm absolutely psyched to go all in for this round and I won't have university or work to distract me till March. I've printed out week 1 & I'll be heading to the gym first thing tomorrow morning. My main goal is strength/fitness gains but I'm also planning to make as many new, healthy & delicious recipes as possible over the break. I can't wait to try the Korean style recipes from round 3 & the Brazilian ones from round 4.

The challenges for weeks 1 & 2 are to create an inspiration board & to complete 300 push ups within a week. I've started my push ups today--- 50 down so far! I intend to create a brand new inspiration board during the week. I think I have a much better idea of what to put on it this round than I had in my very first round.

New Food & 12wbt

I notice that some of the new 12wbt members get a bit 'yuck' when they see menu plans with ingredients/meals in them that's they're not familiar with.

It's alright to not like something but give a go before you start bagging it please... I never ate any of these foods before I started the program & I would have turned down most of them if someone tried to offer them to me. However I have since tried cooking each & every one of them and quite frankly I've only come across a grand total of two recipes I don't like!

When I see something new now (it's my fifth round) I get soooo excited about the prospect of cooking it & trying new flavours! It bums me out a bit when people just say 'eww' without giving something a go.
