Revival of the Ever-Neglected Blog

Hi Everyone!

Well here I am again, having another stab at blogging on a regular basis.  I just knocked over Day 1, Week 1 of Round 3 2012 12WBT, and had the idea I would keep a notebook with all my stats and thoughts, and records of my training but then I thought, hey why not chuck it up on this so-called blog and share?

So this morning I woke up feeling full of promise and excited about what I might be able to achieve over the next 12 weeks.  I got up, had a coffee and then my husband and I set out and smashed out a 15km run.  1053 calories burned before the day had even started.  What a great feeling!  (Must remember this next time I want to stay in bed).

Nutrition has been great today, I'm not following the 12WBT eating plan to a tee as I am keen to keep my breakfasts high protein during the week, so this morning I heated up a bit of pre-made zucchini and ricotta fritatta, followed by half a grapefruit.  The rest of the day I followed the program, and I plan to have a snack as desert shortly which will be strawberries with a big scoop of 5AM Vanilla Bean yoghurt.

So I'm going to be honest here and give my start weight, which I am not happy about - the last few weeks were spent indoors, eating sporadically in movie theatres during the Melbourne International Film Festival and I put on quite a few kilos despite trying to keep my running training on track.  It was an utter fiasco!  So my start weight on Sunday was 71.4kgs and my goal is to get back down to my lowest weight which was 65kg by the end of this round - anything extra will be a bonus.

My big goals for this round are:
To lose 6-8kg
To run my second half marathon at the Hamilton fun run on 11th November, beating my PB time of 1.24.02
To finally crack my 1km time trial PB of 5.01

So there we have it.  Day one of what I know from my last four rounds, will be a whirlwind 12 weeks.  Bring it on!
