Starting Stat's for Genesis Challenge
Let the 'Genesis' Challenge begin...
As you can tell by the title I have decided to take on another challenge. Whilst it is a Genesis challenge, I am not 'officially' part of it ($$$) but will still be going through the motions in order to get myself back on track and to also support Marianne who is an official participant (and who is going to whoop everyones butt because Kerriann and I are going to help by whooping hers Bahahahahahaha).
The past week has been absolute hell for me as being sick has meant my training suffered and me being an emotional eater turned to food. Why do I continue to do it when I know it only makes me feel worse? I really am my own worst enemy and it is such a vicious cycle. I eat because I want comfort because I feel crap, then I feel crap because I eat crap, then I eat more crap because I feel crap that I ate crap GRRR!! As a result of abusing my body with 'crap' food my stomach as been so bloated and sore (because of no crap - too much information I know but I was on a roll LOL) that last night I resorted to taking some laxatives which thankfully have helped a little - ahhhhh!
I am so unhappy in my own skin at the moment and even though I am uncertain that I will ever get to a place where I am 100% happy with myself, I at least want to regain some of the feelings that I had only a few months ago - when I was feeling 'lean and tall' rather than 'fat and frumpy'.
I was looking back over some of my photos last night and found one of me in July 2009. I can remember how totally disgusting I felt back then to the point that I was abusing my body by either not eating or eating and purging or, the list of abuse goes on and on. Now I look at it and although I know that I was 'skinny fat (no muscle tone) and not healthy' I 'like' the shape and size of my body and have decided that it is what I want to aim for. I figure that I have been there before and so I CAN DO IT again, although this time I want to achieve it the HEALTHY way and enjoy it when I get there.
WHERE I WANT TO BE
Weight = 73.5kg, Bust = 94cm, Waist = 89cm, Hips = 108cm
WHERE I AM
Weight = 83.5, Bust = 101cm, Waist = 99cm, Hips = 118.5cm
So tomorrow it all begins and whilst I am still feeling pretty ordinary (Throat and Lung Infection) I am determined to get back on track and turn things around and so in true Tash style I decided to jump straight into the deep end and book in my first PT with Steve - nervous much!!
MY LONG TERM GOALS:
Ultimately I would like to be 69kg which would give me a BMI of 22, this is the middle of my healthy range of 64kg - 74kg. In order to achieve this I will lose 14.5kg. My aim is to lose 1/2 to 1kg per week.
BF% within 25% - 30% - I will lose 12 - 17% of body fat.
SM% within 35 - 40% - I will increase my skeletal muscle by 10 - 15%.
In order to achieve the same sort of figure that I had in July 2009 I need to reduce my Bust, Waist and Hip measurements by approximately 10cm each. I will reduce my measures and be a comfortable Size 12.

Geez a week sure goes by fast.
Friday I decided was an exercise free day as I just couldn't be stuffed and then I woke up on Saturday feeling like someone had put razor blades in my throat and now 5 days later I am still feeling like crap - although admittedly a little less crappier than I did LOL!
Saturday and Sunday were complete bed rest days which meant no Impact Boxing and No teaching my Yoga class at Bacchus Marsh Leisure Centre (Sunday morning at 9.15am for those interested).
Monday I was supposed to have my first Personal Training session at Genesis but I cancelled it and instead just had my assessment done and kept the girls company while they did their workout. I managed 8 minutes on the treadmill before I was buggered :(
Tuesday I went to the Gym but again pretty much only kept Marianne company (10minutes on Cross Trainer, 1 circuit - light weights and 5 minutes on bike).
Today, Wednesday I went and did a cycle class and managed about 60% of the class and the rest of the time I just pedalled on low resistance. I have to admitt though that I don't believe it was my smartest of moves as this afternoon I was exhausted and so had a long Nana nap and now I am feeling worse for wear. Plus I am feeling shitty at myself because I missed Impact Toning and had to cancel the Impact Yoga Class.
Tomorrow I am planning to head to the Gym again but what I will do once there I don't know. I guess the main thing is that I am getting my butt up and motivating myself to do something!
Anyway I am swamped with study and am behind (no suprises there), so I am gonna love ya and leave ya until next time.
Oh I cancelled this months lap band adjustment and have decided to give a try on my own this month - I have been getting heartburn too so I think it may need some fluid out but don't really want to do that just yet!

Today, my Mum was Brave enough to Shave as part of the Worlds Greatest Shave event which raises much needed funds for the Leukaemia Foundation. I am so proud of her - you rock Mum and are so beautiful inside and out. You can donate to the cause HERE!
Today's torture oops I mean training (hehe) session was held at Maddingly Park and as always was Awesome.
Our (Kerriann, Marianne, Adam and Moi) warm up consisted of jogging half way across the oval and back with 5 Squats, jogging 3/4 of the way across the oval and back with 5 squats, jogging all of the way across the oval with 5 Squats, Sprinting half way and then jogging back the other half. Phew, oh and yes I did say it was only the warm up! After that it was time for some Boxing, Lunges, Pulse Squats, Grand Stand Steps, Push Ups, Dips, Planks, Abs and finally Stretching - an hour and a bit later LOL!
I am so blessed by the friendship and support of these incredible people. Kerriann is my mentor and I can only hope to someday be as fit and look as good as she does and help someone as much as she has helped and continues to help me. I was trying to keep up with her today and it always makes me strive to push that little deeper which I love, nearly there NOT - LOL.
Adam can sprint like he has rockets on his shoes, he can run like Forest Gump (LOL). Oh and today I helped to talk him through his first ever 'proper' plank and he did 3 sets of 30 seconds and stuck it whoo hoo how good is that!
What can I say about Marianne...she's a BIARCH!! Bahahaha, nah just kidding. She is Awe Inspirising - her willingness to give everything a go is incredible. At my heaviest weight I ostracised myself before anyone else had the chance to do so and because of it I missed out on so much of life. There was no way that I would of participated in a training session like today's, or gone to a Cycle Class or for that matter even gotten close to entering a Gym let alone joining one. This incredible woman pushes all the boundaries that I never had the guts to do until I lost my weight and even now 45kgs lighter, somedays I still struggle to even look in the mirror. You can have my vag plate honey, but I want your balls LMFAO!!
Well that's it from me for today, tomorrow is going to be a quiet one on the exercise and socialising front as I have a shite load of study to do plus its Photography work day - another one of my many hats.
xoxo
