Inspiring negativity

This mornings weigh in.....

DRUM ROLL.....





59.7

FIFTY NINE POINT SEVEN

Fifty freaking nine!

I am in the fifty's, and you know what I feel AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am not sure what I want to do. kiss someone, dance, sing, cry.... all of the above.. I did it, I really did it.... its all a down hill run from here everything else is a bonus, I always thought I'd be happy at 60, and I wasn't and not being in the 50's is like a whole other world.

I am pumped for an awesome full body workout this morning so off I go.

I LOVE YOU 50's. I knew this is where I belonged!

In all honesty I still have quite a lot of body fat to rid from this mummas 59.7kg body =) But I am sure this will come with time.

I had my skin folds done on Thursday for the first time since I was studying at TAFE in 2008, at the moment I am sitting on:

21% BF

I am not surprised, nor disheartened by this, just encouraged to keep, keeping on.

 *********************


Oh by the way I just wanted to reinstate again that... this journey that I am on has  ZILCH, NINE, NADA, ZERO, ZIP, NIX, RIEN =NOTHING.... To do with YOU, you or You.
SO instead of getting up tight and making nasty comments, just be fucking supportive.. ALRIGHT!!!!

The crap pushing has started..... I wont go into it too much but please people, just be supportive, if you don't like it and it makes you uneasy, please keep your comments to yourself. I will eat smelly egg whites if that's what I choose to eat, and

If you are my friend, relative, acquaintance who cares about me at all, you could.. no actually, you should be nothing but happy for me, to be reaching weight, fitness and nutrition Goals and most importantly bettering my health, and becoming that role model I speak so highly of, I want nothing more than to be the mother that I idolise.

Why is it, really why is it that the ones we love and appreciate their kindness so much more than anyone else, are the ones that always put us down, continue to make us feel as though if we are trying to better our lives, we must be doing it to make them feel bad.

WHY ON EARTH WOULD I GO TO THIS MUCH EFFORT FOR SOME ONE ELSE????




Now come on.... If you are feeling a little uneasy about my new found excitement in life, why not grab it, ask me some questions, be inspired...

Is it so bad that I am not conforming with the majority of society, that I have my own desires, my own views.

I have been ridiculed for having an opinion in the past, so here it is:
I don't give a shit what anyone thinks, this is for me.

The people that aren't supportive, only make me want it more!


Chicken tuna, Laura Harris,
my biggest inspiration,
she is straight down the line,
no crap.

A few quotes off her personal web page.

And just thought I would add this woman is 42years old! AMAZING!

"It's hard and not so much fun to give up all the good stuff. But I think it would be less fun to be aging and become a pile of lard, jiggles, and flab". Laura Harris

"How to lose those last 10 pounds? Same as the first 10.. eat right and exercise consistently!!! How to keep those pounds off? Same thing, eat right and exercise consistently"!!

CONGRATULATIONS BABE! Breaking into the 50s is a huge mental barrier so well done. As for the negative people, there will ALWAYS be someone who will try and bring you down. Just know that they are the ones that are jealous of your success and strength to commit to achieving your goals...Later down the track they are usually the ones that start asking you for advice! Keep up the great work!

Courtney said...

Thank you chelle,

You've been a massive inspiration to me, can't wait to see your gravel pictures lol.

I hope the OSB #3 is going well, I can't wait to be in that crop top either! A little way off for me, but come christmas I'm getting a new bikini!

Chelle said...

LOL, yeah me too! Doing another shoot on friday...swimwear, hopefully its not too COLD!

OSB #3 has been up and down like the other 2, but i know the end result will be awesome, so just gotta keep learning through this new journey of mine.

What a perfect christmas present to yourself. What is your goal weight/body fat that you're aiming for?

Courtney said...

To be honest I dont really know, I thought 60kgs was reasonable but clearly not, I think anywhere under 55 would make me extremely happy and to maintain that weight.

I just want to be a great role model to my children so they never have to be the fat girl, they'll know how to eat, and how to keep fit.

I have had to figure it all out myself.

I dont know much about BF% and what looks like what, but Laura Harris looks pretty alright to me, maybe even a little too lean. I want to be realistic, but then I also want to be amazing forever haha.

I am just going to keep plodding along, eating clean, and maintaining a good fitness regime.
I have so much more to learn. So many questions.

The maths on serving sizes etc would be something i would really like imprinted in my head, how to convert tables etc.

July next year is when I need to be as fit as possible as I am going to do my Yoga teacher training in Byron Bay for EIGHT whole blissful child free weeks. I love my girls but I need some time for me, and to get some skills.

Chelle said...

WHat a perfect place to do your yoga instructor course! 12 months is plenty of time to get you lean like Laura - she looks fantastic and definitely achievable and maintainable too. Just keep eating well and training hard and watch the fat come off revealing your super sleek muscles =)

Btw, if you have any nutrition questions, feel free to send them my way. I'm more than happy to help you out.

Courtney said...

Oh awsome Chelle, thankyou so much!

I hope by this time next year, and HOPEFULY sooner, that'll I'll be that smokin'! I really hope so!

I couldn't sleep so I got up and smashed some cardio at 4am this morning, go me!
