I changed to this goal from something like “get fit” because I wanted to get away from the focus on being slim/toned and aim for healthy instead. Because I am already slim and I’m trying to get away from being so looks focused.
But as one of my main goals is be true to myself I’ll have to admit that while health and physical fitness for the sake of it is important to me, so is looking fit. I want to get more toned up, for me (and it truly is only for me because I’m pretty sure no one else will see any difference, or care). It might not be the ideal motivator (I’d like to be one of those people who only exercise because it makes them feel great) but at least it gets me moving.
And if my ambition to tone up and have more defined muscles lead to motivation to exercise more and so to health and strength and cardio fitness? Perfect. All roads leads to Rome…

I said I would go for a run & I did! 10 kms with the dog & lots of friendly people on the trail.
A bit sore – but feeling fulfilled!

It’s a juggling act at the moment as I get into the business end of essays due & exams looming.
I signed up for a 5km run challenge mid-November which will at least give me something to train for.

To get out for an early morning run with the dog – what a great way to start the day!
Ok, so I’m 4’10ft tall and currently weigh 52kgs. I want to get to 45kg’s as my goal weight over the next 3 months.
Now I need to start exercising on a regular basis.
I need to get a healthy eating plan in place and stop eating junk food!

I decided to run 10kms, but the circuit took me on a 12km run. I got into a good rhythm and paced myself well. It was windy but pleasant getting out again & feeling ‘whole’ (physically, mentally & spiritually) – It’s a great feeling!

I have been remotivated to get running more regularly again. I live in a beautiful part of the world and have some amazing tracks within minutes of where I live.
This is Honey, my running partner on our run yesterday.
I am slashing my goals list, out go the two lose weight goals and in comes this. Focusing on my fitness and making healthy choices is more positive than focussing on how much I weigh.
I want to be able to run and run, have a healthy BMI and keep my GP happy. I choose life, fun and energy.
Whisparella is debating many options.
I’m halfway through the wellness challenge and had my mid-assessment today. There are five wellness categories; very challenged (0-50), challenged (50-75), transition (75-100), good (100-125), and excellent (125-200). My initial wellness quotient was 62 and fell into the challenged category; today it was 93 bringing me up to the transition stage and pretty darn close to good! I’m quite excited, I intend to bring that number up even higher these next five weeks! I’m bound and determined to make it to the good category, but I think it would be quite awesome to hit excellent! We’ll just have to wait and see what happens. :D
