Wow, it's December!

My poor neglected blog...  I promise to get back into blogging.  I have 6 weeks annual leave from work just as soon as I finish the 3 nights I'm about to embark upon.  During that time, I'll keep you updated on my activities!


I need to fill in some space for you.  Last time I blogged, it was November!  I am at my goal weight, with a healthy BMI!!  Round 3 finished a couple of weeks ago, and last weekend we had the Group Workout and Finale party.  OMG, what a magical weekend it was!  I went to Sydney with a very special chick, who has been a part of my life for over 20 years now.  We have shared a lot of stuff, most relevant to this journey, we got fat together, and now we've lost it together too!  




In other exciting news, we both got a tattoo in Sydney!  We had initially planned on it, but then didn't think we'd have enough time.  As fate would have it, on the Friday after we landed, we wandered up the road to a wine bar (as you do!) and when we looked across the road, we saw the very Tattoo shop that we'd spoken about.  Fast forward 24 hours, after an exhilarating Group workout, we were there!

This is the end result...  I love it so much.  Mine is self explanatory, and my BFF's is the Libran symbol, which is all about balance.

I am tossing up whether to sign up for Round 1 2012.  If I do it, I'll be doing either Lean and Fit, or Lean and Strong.  I'm leaning towards L&S, as my knee is injured, and the idea of less cardio is appealing.  I'll make up my mind in the next few days, and if I commit to L&S, I'll lose another few kg over the "off season" so that my transformation into a "ripped machine" is more defined!

I'll leave you with a pic that we took with Mish.  We walked into the venue and saw Mish standing pretty much alone, so we wandered over, and I showed her my tattoo.   She said, "Holy shit, is that real?"  I assured her it was, and she touched it.  Then she let out a big breath and said, quietly, "Fuuuuuck".  Made me LOL.   And then we got this pic.  I love it!
