Week one completed. Heres to week 2

I went into week one all pumped and excited by what was to come. I hesitantly did the before shots and weigh in but I know that it is a necessary tool to gauge the weight I have lost etc. So Week one was a little hard on the first day I was STARVING. I wasn't sure how to add in my snacks etc but I got that worked out quick smart. I also felt so tired by day 3 and did not want to get up and work out but I am learning to talk myself into things not out of them. I know from previous experience that I would always feel guilty for not doing a workout but NEVER felt guilty about doing one. So I got up and did my workout. I have discovered too that I am much better with energy and eating right if I get in that workout. I had a few times during the week that yummy food was offered to me and the first time I almost (just by habit) took it but I stopped myself and said NO I am NOT having that. I also had a time where I picked up pizza for the kids (they were having a sleep over) and traveled in the car all the way home with it smelling so delicious. I did not even have a piece. I was sure tempted but again talked myself through it instead of acting on impulse like I normally do. I also made myself go to a local 12wbt meet and greet to meet some others who are doing this program and that is WAY out of my comfort zone. It was wonderful to meet some ladies who had done it before. My girlfriend and I were newbies the others had lost 60 35 and 30 kilos... They had great tips for us. 
I am so motivated to keep going and I am sure that there are going to be hard times but I will try to talk myself around when they arise...

Michelle Bridges 12 Week Body Transformation. Day one.....

Well I joined the 12wbt last week as I am so sick to death of myself. I need something that will work I need the motivation from others and seeing some of the success stories and also the most amazing group of people on the forums I decided to bite the bullet and give it MY ALL. I will be blogging here as my journey goes along as I need to vent and it will help others who are thinking of joining next round and It will also keep me accountable on this journey.
I will say that I was very excited to receive that shopping list and nutrition and exercise plans. I did my fitness test and came out at the intermediate level. I am on the 1200 calorie plan. The food was a tad expensive as I still had to buy school food and foods that the others would probably not eat. But I am planning on making the meal for everyone as they could all benefit from a much healthier lifestyle. The first workout today was a good one and I found myself doing some of the advanced moves in some areas as I have been exercising for quite some time but obviously not eating right.
I burned 439 calories and ate 1069 calories for the day.. So thats a good start. I didn't stray from the program which is also good for me as I normally cannot handle not having a choice of what to eat. Although I can just find recipes of the same caloric value to replace the ones Im not keen on.
So I was a bit hungry as I thought that I was only allowed one snack and it was a vegetable based snack, so I had corn thins, cottage cheese with tomato. I could have had another morning snack as my cals were low. I did end up having one slice of raisin toast and a teaspoon of marg.... But using my fitness pal I added the cals and ended up where I said before. I have been drinking sooooooo much water that I spent most of today in the loo. My body will get used to it Im sure....
So all in all Day one was a success and here is to day 2....
