I have initially created this blog to motivate my self with my weight loss journey  in 2011.
It has been 6 years that I have achieved my goal and I have maintained it!
I thought I should still keep this blog open and peharps share on weekly basis some tips , some recepies or perhaps just drop a word to keep you motivated on your self journey too :)
Feel free to share your goals ... your own tips or even just a quote that you think it may help you and  others, To keep on track!
Happy week everyone ...  keep moving ! And let's do it !!

I am ready ...

well the beginning of a new journey!
I have started the 12 weeks body transformation with Michelle bridges for the 3rd time!
My First two rounds I had the aim : To loose 25kg...   I DID IT!
My goal this round is to be able to control my BP witch has been a little wild... do to the stressful life's ups and downs we all encounter!  I also want to learn how to tone up, and I am ready to give toning exercises a go, thanks to a beautiful person that is willing to train me..so he says..LOL
Also to support a couple of my friends that have decided to give it a go too this round :) I am a strong believer that together we achieve more !!  ALWAYS!
Lets get started...have a great week..and follow your road to success... set your goal, focus ...and show the world you can do it !

The taste of sucess...

My dear friends.. my life has been a roller coaster recently..I have been all over the place..often getting off track with my diet ..a bit lazy with my walking..but i have decided not to beat my self..I have decided that in beetween of very bad days ..where I  am compleatly get off my routine..I do have great days and I focus on them  insted..It took me longer than planned but  i am now above my initial goal ..At my own pace in the middle of confusion and turbulance ..I manage to get to it...I believed in presistance from day one..many falls along the way..but the key is to find the strengh to pick our selfs up and keep mooving towards our goal..even if that means baby steps..I had  9 months ago a  goal to get to 69.9kg I am know 67.kg.I have lost in total 21.4kg

Feedback....

My Dear friends ...I am still here :) My appologies for letting you down for a while! I just thought before I start my new round for 2012 with Michelle Bridges ,I would update you with my progress in this weight loss journey of mine!!
Well about 15 weeks ago I Started with a goal of loosing  7.5kg . To be more active,and with the deternination of being healthier,as I have been suffering from High BP for a while now!
I had a loss of 5.2Kg . I do have 2.4kg to go to achieve my personal goal. I have become a more active person,I am loving my long walks,and my gym classes! Most important of all  i have achieved my main  goal wich was to control my BP without medication. I now have  a reading of 120/80 insted of 165/110. I can smell my sucess as my personal goal its so close ..i am happy not just for the fact of achieving my goals but because I am so proud of who i become :).

Just F.... do it!

Worthwhile the journey...reward is priceless

Anything is possible...

I am ready!

Determination is defenetely the key to sucess...and the right state of mind....wich means: I am ready for the change!

week 5 and 6-reflection!

I think I just had 2 very challenging weeks!!  I have been very consistent with my exercise but not so much with my weekly menu!!  I have attended  my classes at least 3 times a week ,I did some walks and activities as the biggest women's health check..really had fun that day...The pleasure of training with michelle and having great friends to spend the day with,was a blast :)

Well time to reflect what have I done wrong ..as I had no weight loss...actualy I have gained some...i have just finished my reflections!!!and...
I have decided, to accept that I just haven't lost any weight these 2 weeks,accepted that I have been indulging my self (just a little)...but I am still very proud of my self as I have been so consistent attending my exercise classes,I have decided to smile...decided that it's time to reset my mind,and get ready for a new week,wich I am sure that will be a great one:)
Love
Lurdes

week 4

What a great week I had! I have started my week with a huge commitment...not to fail attending the gym!!So proud of my self! Every single day I have attended the classes.I am truly enjoying the body combat and zumba. Zumba classes are more of a laughing therapy for me,I am so des co-ordinated that i laugh my head off with the mooves that I manage to come up with! But hey.. as my intructor says..the only bad Zumba is the one you dont moove!!I did some bike work outs and a supper walk at the bay for 8km!!Well for my surprise i had no weight loss after such a big week of working out!I do feel happy though...I know I gave the best of me this week,so I can only smile and see what week 5 will bring!!

Love Lurdes
