Reflections

Dear Rach-V1

I saw your reflection in the mirror last night . You were at the shops in the shoe section of BigW.
You sat down, and turned your head to the mirror
You looked like someone else. like an old woman "other" people stare at.

You don't ever have to see that reflection again if you stick to your plans of change. Give it EVERYTHING you have. be the stronger, braver woman i know you can be!

I Believe in YOU !

Love Rach- V2

Random things I think about...

How will i go from 0 exercise to 6 days a week?

What will I do to stop myself giving up,when it gets to hard?

When I'm fitter and lost weight - how will I keep it off?

How will I train my brain to accept the things it does not realise?

Can I do it this time?

Why will this time be different?

How do I walk in the gym again after so long?

There is no option to fail...

A day I commited to change

What a beautiful morning it was today!

Our usual morning consist of getting up showering, dressing and running out the door with no breakfast, and still usually running late!

Today started at 6am and by 7am Bec and I were sitting on the deck -it was a fresh 9 degrees. I breathed in the morning air and ate my breakfast, taking in the view, that's been there as long as I've lived in my house (over 3 years now) but i very rarely stop to notice it, and take it all in and appreciate the wonder and beauty within it.  The mountains with mist floating by- the flock of Cockatoos flying by it's just magical.

My Mountain View this morning

Today I did 2 things for myself . for my inside and my outside....

1. I pressed the big button! ... I'm officially a member of the 12WBT Team ! How exciting :)
2. I booked an eye exam (long over due)

Something I struggled with today was curbing the urge to scream and yell at my computer (by proxy of the customer) As a debt collector i get to see first hand just how rude, dumb, and crazy people are - not to mention the excuses they come up with!  Tomorrow I will concentrate harder on being calm at work.

It seams the fever of the 12WBT is growing I may of convinced a co -worker to join me on the program YAY! And my lovely friend Renee has added me to her FB 12WBT support group and I'm already feeling the love :)

11 days till blast off !

The time has come, the Walrus said...

"Uh the time has come," the Walrus said,
"To talk of other things.
Of shoes and ships and sealing-wax,
And cabbages and kings.
And why the sea is boiling hot,
And whether pigs have wings.

The Time has come for a change ... Rach Version 2.0 

It starts today.  

It's been a long time coming... I've been reading alot of inspiring blogs of late, beautiful friends Renee and Jen have inspired me in their own way (and they probably don't even know it)

My change is about me. it's time to be selfish. it's time to find me in my every day. 

I turned 33 a month ago . I live on the beautiful Central Coast. I work in an office in Sydney -typical 9-5 job as a debt collector.  I also own and run a small business Sapphire Designs . I'm a wife, a friend, a sister and a daughter. and hope to be a mum some day soon too.

I'm going to make time to meditate, to stretch to breath. to exercise. to make good food choices. to be organised. to simplify my life. to un-clutter my life. to work on my friendships and relationships and to cleanse my mind. to look after my outside as well. see my Chiropractor more regularly. to have monthly Reiki and facials. to look after me.

Today i made a decision to join the Michelle Bridges 12WBT to focus on my weight and health. I'm excited and scared. i feel empowered and focused.

Many things are going to change and I'm going share them on my blog. read it or don't. comment or not. This blog is for me. Rach V2.0

It starts today.
