Blogging Challenge

I’m taking part in Kath’s blogging challenge:

1. Describe yourself in 25 words or less. You can get straight to the point – or bring your creativity into play.

Outgoing but shy. Whimsical but committed. Determined but laid back.

2. What brings you to 12wbt? Getting fitter? Losing weight? (Gaining weight??) Are you first timer, a repeat offender??

This is my first 12WBT. I did a challenge at the start of the year - that I won through my Zumba class. I had much success but I hit a stalemate. I stayed at that weight from then til now - so 5 mths. I want to get to under 70kgs and down at a size 12 again. I like clothes so I want to start wearing nice clothes instead of bumming in my trackies and jeans all the time.

3. Why do you blog??

I like people knowing what I am doing. In fact I have about 6 blogs that I manage. I am a blogaholic. On your blog you can kind of speak your mind. You think something and it writes itself - if that makes any sense at all.

4. Who is your biggest inspiration in life and why (doesn’t have to be weight loss):

I would have to say my inspiration is Zuzana at Bodyrock. She is dedicated to helping people stay in shape or get the desired shape for less than 30mins workout a day. I love her workouts. They kill but are so good.

5. What things in life bring you the most joy?

That one isn't very hard. My kids. When they achieve something it brings joy to my heart. They are my greatest creation and I wouldn't put them after anything.

6.What do you think your greatest challenge is going to be this round?

Running. I don't run. I can't do it. I have never ever been a runner. Not even in my teenage years playing netball and basketball. So yeah that would be it.

7. What are you most excited about 12wbt?

Getting to my goal. Being successful.

8. And what scares the pants off you?

Achieving my goal and then falling off the wagon with food etc.

9. Tell me – right now – today – how do you feel about exercise in no more than 10 words:

Worth the pain.

10. Complete this sentence – in 12 weeks time – on the last day of 12wbt I am going to be feeling:

Excited. Proud. Skinny.

Thanks for the challenge Kath.
