My first meal on the #everydaytakeaway meal plan. Cake for breakfast? Yes please! It was quick and simple to make, and the coffee ☕️ and chocolate 🍫 flavour was so yummy! My first @hiit_kitchen recipe was a winner! @thehiitmum I'm looking forward to the next six weeks. #ET6weekshred #breakfast #macros #iifym #iifymwomen #ifitfitsyourmacros #flexibledieting #mugcake #scoopofproteinpowder #peanutbutter #yum #instafood #foodgasm #mocha #weightlossstory #weightlossjourney #calories

At that point the ultimate goal seems impossible and out of my reach I stop and think - what could I achieve in six weeks, what could I achieve in a week and then simply what can I achieve today. ⌛️⌛️⌛️⌛️⌛️⌛️⌛️⌛️⌛️⌛️ If I know what it is that I really want long term, and I take the steps to achieve my daily and weekly goals, it is inevitable that my long term ultimate goals will be achieved. 📆📅📆📅📆📅📆📅📆 With the help of @thehiitmum and @hiit_kitchen I have no doubt I will get there. #everydaytakeaway #ET6weekshred #motivation #motivationmonday #quote #inspirationalquotes #goals #transformation #weightlossstory #weightlossjourney #healthychoices #healthyhabits

#march2fitness Day 2 Wednesday 2nd Gym Or in my case, not gym. Three afternoons after work finishes I plan to go to my gym for yoga, Pilates or Bodybalance. This particular afternoon I got caught up at work - primary school teacher - and didn't make my 5.30 pm Cardio Reformer class. Lesson learned, walk out the door at 5pm as if I'm keeping a paid appointment with a medical or beauty professional. I'm pleased to say though that after the first six weeks of ONLY making excuses at least this week I made Bodybalance on Monday and Yoga on Friday, and at least my bag was packed ready to go on Wednesday. #march2fitnessphotochallenge #fitnesschallenge #pilatesfail #gymfail #weightlossstory #weightlossjourney #progressnotperfection #transformation #2016isnotarestyear #embraceachievedo #nevergiveup #putyourselffirst

Sunday morning breakfast - one of my favourite @12wbt cooked breakfasts. Scrambled eggs (with dill), mushrooms, fresh asparagus, feta and a sourdough wrap. One word.

It wasn't that long ago that Sunday mornings meant a long slow run in preparation for a half marathon. As a member of @hogwartsrunningclub I raised just over a dollar thanks to @charitymiles for @girlupcampaign excuses, weight gain, a very busy time at work and a loss of fitness level has meant I'm back at week 1 of the c25k. But, I'm enjoying the challenge this point in my running is presenting AND overcoming them. A runner is a runner is a runner. #determined #halfmarathonhereicomeagain #RMA #runningmumsaustralia #runpositive #tenacity #12wbt #12wbtrunnersconnect #runlikeyoustolesomething #fitnesschallenge #fitness #running #runner #c25k #charitymiles #gryffinROAR #gryffindare #milesmanaged #somuchgood

#march2fitness Day 1 - Tuesday March 1st The photo of me at parkrun on the left was taken back in January. You'd think that would be enough to have made sure I started being more consistent with my training and nutrition. While I was doing day 1 of the c25k on Tuesday I got the idea to make this collage my #progressshot because measuring my progress over the month in my quest to be healthier is more than my clothing size, weight on the scales or the pace I can run. But all three together paint a picture of where I am at. I could hardly believe it on Wednesday morning when I saw my weight was 123.5kg - but I'm not going to set any goals based on losing x kgs in x amount of time because I simply don't find that helpful. #onwardsanddownwards #march2fitnessphotochallenge #2016isnotarestyear #embraceachievedo #healthychoices #healthyhabits #transformation #weightlossstory #weightlossjourney #goals #tenacity #halfmarathonhereicomeagain #nutrition #onedayatatime #determined

Sunrise in the #bluemountains Moon still in the sky. Not too many cars on the highway. Perfect conditions for a morning run.

About a year ago I started going to Monday afternoon @lesmillsbodybalance at my gym. I 💙 it. It was a way to take on Mondayitis proactively. Because I knew I had it to look forward to at the end of the day. And of course, it's a perfect active rest day activity after a long run on a Sunday. But unfortunately, in the busy-ness of my life I let it slip. In fact I have to admit I have been making excuses since December - and haven't been since then. Returning today was bliss. Well, pretty much except when I overbalanced in the strength track changing between poses and actually fell sideways. Luckily I wasn't too far from the ground! 😱😁😂 But the thing that helped me the most, were the reminders to breathe. #breathe #justbreathe #mondayitis #weightlossstory #weightlossstory #healthyhabits #healthychoices #bodybalance #yoga #meditation #stretch #lesmillsbodybalance #choices #habits #routine #tenacity #liveinthepresent #quote #instaquote #instaquotes #mondaymotivation #12wbt #12wbtdecemberround #12wbtcrewscrew #12wbt30pluscrew #12wbtrunnersconnect

Sunday lunch - a delicious @12wbt salad. The quinoa, mint and tuna salad. The serve for the 1800 calorie day was huge! It was filling and tasty. One to put on the favourites list - in fact I made a second serve as a salad in a jar for lunch at work tomorrow. 🐟🍅🍋🐟🍅🍋🐟🍅🍋 #12wbt #12wbtchef #12wbtlunch #12wbtdecemberround #lunch #salad #yum #delicious #iifym #ifitfitsyourmacros #flexibledieting #foodtofit #foodporn #foodgasm #food #instafood #instafoodie #qunioa #tomato #weightloss #weightlossjourney #weightlossstory #youcanmakefriendswithsalad

Well, the past couple of months are proof this thought has validity. If I don't plan my week strategically to achieve goals, prioritise training and eat in a balanced and mindful way I'm not going to achieve my weight loss goals or be able to run 5km. I think I had a-ha moment this morning seeing a political cartoon about change and peoples' desire FOR change and their willingness TO change. 💡💡💡💡💡 #weightlossjourney #weightlossjourney #goals #motivation #achieve #healthyhabits #foodtofit #failtoplanandplantofail #transformation #mindset #quote #warhol #warholquote #plans #12wbt #12wbtdecemberround #strategy #jfdi #priorities

A rather indulgent Sunday morning breakfast. Fuelling for a run and yoga later in the day.

Always. Today was the 21st February, 2016 - the day designated by @hogwartsrunningclub for the 3.94 mile virtual run for Alan Rickman. I was in Gerringong for the weekend with Steve so we walked the footpath next to Werri Beach and the short hill up to the cliff on the southern end of the beach. 💚🐍💚🐍💚🐍💚🐍💚🐍💚 #gryffinroar #always #hrcalwaysrun #hrc #hogwartsrunningclub #gerringong #walk #virtualrun #wandsup #snape #weareonehouse #walking #beach #australia #turntopage394 #fitness #healthy #healthyhabits #freshair

O. M. G. @jamieoliver breakfast recipe, first time I have tried it. The "healthy cheese & corn pancakes, smoky bacon & caramelised banana" from "Everyday Superfood" cookbook.
