It all started on Saturday - The SSS (Super Saturday Session- come on keep up!) was a KILLER - I had NEVER had a workout like that before - and I've had some workouts over the last round and beyond!!
Michelle really let us have it - First SSS of Round 1 2012 - HOLY HELL!! It went a little something like this.....

Oh did you read that I had to do all that 3 TIMES EACH!!!!
After the 1st round I was spent - ready to go home - lying on the floor after those tricep dips, actually talking myself into leaving the gym and going home!!
I slapped myself upside the head - I didn't sign up to do 1/3 of the work, I didn't sign up for 33.333%, I didn't commit to Michelle Bridges herself in a forum post that I was going to try to give it my whole 33% - I signed up, I committed to 100% - so I got myself up and did it again - and again!!
I could have spewed I practically crawled out of the gym and into my car!!

| Week 1 SSS |
BUT
It didn't beat me! I didn't let it!! I was absolutely giddy with self pride - I felt amazing (smashed and broken, but amazing!!).
Finishing that workout that I NEVER even dreamt I could do - awakened something in me - I all of a sudden knew that my hopes and dreams and goals WILL become a reality. All of week one I was over thinking, overannalizing, doubting myself, discouraging myself - and after one 2.5hour workout I smashed all that negativity to the curb and now I just simply believe. I AM really going to smash this.
I feel how an eliminated Biggest Loser Contestant must feel - everyday waking up thinking about finale - "I'll show them at finale, This workout is for finale, No, thanks I won't eat that, I'm training for finale" like the contestants who have to prove it to Australia that they could do it - I have to prove it to the one person who absolutely matters- ME!!
I just CANNOT wait to meet myself in the mirror in 12 weeks and LOVE the person that I see!! Love her body, Love her mind!! I can't wait to be at finale!! I cannot wait to live the rest of my life with pride instead of shame!!
On the back of my mindset win I have charged through all of my workout this week. I have been receiving some super advice (as usual) from the L&S Pirates
Whilst trying to brag that I did Monday's workout twice - I got slammed with feedback - in a nutshell - UP YOUR WEIGHTS if you are finding that you can complete it twice- you should be crawling out of the gym every workout, not feeling the need to do it all over again, TAKE IT EASY BETWEEN WORKOUTS - don't over do it, take the time to allow your body to rest, FOCUS ON THE PROGRAM and the results will come.
The before and after shots of these 12WBT'ers are simply mind blowing - I was convinced they must have all been adding extra to the program to recieve such A-M-A-Z-I-N-G results in just 12 weeks - but again I was allowing my negative (this'll never happen for you) mindset creep it - FOCUS ON THE PROGRAM and the results will absolutely come!
The pirates are such an inspiration and a HUGE support network - it's wonderful how surrounding yourself with like minded people REALLY helps contol your mindset!
On that note I thought a picture (stolen from a new friend's blog http://jayne12wbt.blogspot.com.au/) really sums up how I am feeling and what I have allowed myself to learn this week:
