SMUDGE

Well folks, that wraps up a WHOLE YEAR of BBG! It's been such a crazy journey of self discovery. We've started to realise who we are, and what we are capable of. We've gained so much strength, both physically AND emotionally. There's no other way to say it, then to say it's been a totally life-changing year!

If you've been following my journey, you will have seen my previous posts after completing each round (Pre-Training, Round One, Round Two & Round Three). In those posts, especially the last three, I've explained my various eating guidelines and workout schedule. 

I'm going to be real with you though, over this last round (especially in the last few weeks) I haven't been AS strict. I've still done the best that I can, but life has taken an extremely busy turn with my business recently, and I found myself running out of time to fit some of the LISS & HIIT sessions in. I also ate a few things that I previously wouldn't have touched, simply because it was 'easy' and I didn't have the energy to make better choices at the time. HOWEVER, that is no longer! The fact is, I took on a few too many things in my day-to-day life and was so overwhelmed, I couldn't juggle it all anymore. I had to let something go. Unfortunately, that was my health. I think this happens to people all the time, and it's such a shame. The longer you leave it, the harder it is to get back on track! I've snapped out of it and remembered what's most important, and why I'm doing this. SO, I'm totally back on track now, completely up-to-date for the week. And already, I'm feeling so much better. 

I'm going to get straight into the figures for those interested.

MEASUREMENTS & TRANSFORMATION.


Weight (-12.7kg)
Waist (-14cm)
Belly Button Line (-26cm)
Hips (-13.5cm)
Butt (-10cm)
Thigh (-9cm)

That's 12.7kg down, and 72.5cm gone just from these measurements! CRAZY-TALK! So even though I haven't been on my absolute best behaviour for a few weeks, I have nothing to complain about there!! I am my own motivation, and I'm going to continue to push myself each day. My goals are getting so close now, it's so exciting!
Goodness I'm so glad I decided to start this a year ago. I hate to think where I would be if I hadn't! Right now, life is looking pretty great. I feel so much more confident! Speaking of confident, I recently posted on Instagram that I now fit into my goal shorts!! I bought them last year just after starting BBG and I actually couldn't fit them up my thighs. Well.. now they do. AND they do up. I tell you what.. that feels amazing!!
So. 

Whats next? Well, we keep going! 

We're currently doing our 5th round of BBG! I can't wait to see how we're feeling by THIS summer! Definitely going to be rocking some lovely Bikini's, and feeling confident doing so.

Again, this is not some 'magical' program. It's a guide, and YOU need to put in the work if you want to see a change. IT works if YOU work for it. Sometimes you need to stop thinking, and start DOING. Just make yourself start before you can talk yourself out of it!

Who knows where YOU could be in a year from today!
Like always, a huge thank you to Kayla. And just like before, thank you to my husband for supporting me through another round, and thank you to Lara for doing each workout with me, and pushing me. And thank you to the whole BBG community!

I've said it once, but I'll say it again. YOU are stronger than you think, and you have what it takes to reach your goals. I was the queen of excuses, but when I finally let them all go, that's when my life changed. What's holding you back? Let go and see all the different areas of your life transform.

If you need any love and support, there are heaps of us out there to keep your butt in check. Come hang out over at Instagram & Snapchat! Especially if you're on a similar journey. We can inspire and motivate each other every day. Also, if you're doing BBG and live in Australia or New Zealand, come join our support group on Facebook.

Well, that's another 3 months of BBG done and dusted for Lara and I, which completes our THIRD round! The BBG 2.0 guide has been amazing, and really stepped it up a notch in difficulty. There were exercises we hadn't done before which were great and challenging, and then of course there were exercises we were more familiar with. However, Kayla thought it would be fun to add extra reps to these PLUS weights. Sneaky girl. But we did what we were told, no questions asked!

It feels SO GOOD to have achieved BBG 2.0. It's something we were a little scared to undertake, but just like BBG 1.0, you just take it one workout at a time. What we also found to be great was all the personal challenges you get to do. They were amazing to measure your own personal progress and improvements. Each time a challenge came up, you wanted to beat your personal best from before! It really drove me.

I recently posted something on Instagram, but I'll write it here too because I think it's really important. 

"If you solely rely on 'motivation', you're not going to make it. Because I can guarantee that you're not going to feel super pumped and motivated EVERY day. So it's not about that. It's about making a decision, and being determined to follow through with it whether you feel 'motivated' that day or not! Sometimes you just have to get your grumpy face on, suck it up, and JUST DO IT. Because afterwards, you'll feel invincible. And you'll realise that you actually DO have what it takes. Yes.. I am talking to YOU."


This is SO true. I want to be real with you. I have not always felt like doing my workouts! Sometimes I feel really grumpy about forcing myself do them. But you know what? About 10 minutes into them, every single time, I feel so energetic and happy about doing it. It's crazy how that happens. Sometimes you need to stop thinking, and start DOING. Just make yourself start before you can talk yourself out of it!

I'm also going to be real with you and say that I wasn't as strict on myself during this round of BBG. For the first 2 rounds, I ate super clean 100% of the time (other than 1 cheat meal a week), didn't miss any workouts, and did a lot of extra LISS. I saw big results which was what I wanted! However, there were a few times over this last round that I wasn't able to get a workout done. Thats life though. Life has been very busy for me! I'm still totally committed to this, and this lifestyle change, but I'm not going to beat myself up for running out of time to do a LISS occasionally, or going out for a coffee date with my baby girl and sharing a blueberry muffin! Having said that, my diet is still very clean, and I do my absolute best to do all my workouts, plus still doing extra.

Since I started back in August last year, I had no idea what I was in for! This has been such an amazing journey. It's pushed me to become a stronger person, both physically AND mentally. I never thought I'd have abs, but they've come to say hello recently! I've also noticed quite a bit of muscle gain in my arms which is fun! (Ain't nobody gonna mess with me now! hehe) I've also been feeling like my legs have slimmed down quite a bit which is nice! It's been really interesting to see that I'm putting on lots of muscle, but still dropping in weight. I must be doing something right. (Sneaky blueberry muffins and all!) 
Fun Fact: When I bought these exercise pants, they actually didn't fit me! #winning
So now that we've completed two rounds of BBG 1.0, and one round of BBG 2.0, we are repeating BBG 2.0 again, starting today! We've already knocked off todays Leg session. BOOM. Reason behind this, is that some of the exercises were new, and so we want to get another round under our belt to really improve our form with them.

Going into our 4th round of BBG, I will be keeping up with the extra workouts I've been doing since week 6 of round 2. I will go into that more later!

For those interested, here’s some information on changes and improvements! It hasn't really changed since I started, so if you've read my previous posts, feel free to skip this part. A little further down, you can view my weekly workout schedule and official transformation.

GIVEN UP.
Remember that this is a lifestyle change. Something that becomes habit. But also something that you want to maintain long term, so treating yourself on occasions is totally okay if you want to! Just don’t over-do it. So other than on really special occasions, I’ve given up..

Rice // White bread // Fast Food // Coffee // Cows Milk // Sugar // Lollies  // Sweets // Ice-cream // Cakes // Chocolate etc.

SUBSTITUTES.
Quinoa // Dark Rye Bread // Coconut Water // Coconut Milk // Homemade Nut Milks // Homemade RAW Chocolate and Desserts!

RULES.
I have some general rules I stick with that keep me feeling good.

I do at least one Green Smoothie a day as one of my main meals. I used to do it for breakfast, but more recently I've been doing them for dinner instead! I am actually loving it for a couple reasons. Doing them for dinner makes sure that I don't overeat on high carb foods right before bed. Carbs are good, but I'd rather have the majority of them during the day time rather than night time. I'm also someone who LOVES breakfast. It's my favourite meal of the day. So this way, I still get to have my yummy muesli and greek yogurt etc each day! // I usually have two pieces of Dark Rye Bread to make some kind of sandwich for lunch. I only have two pieces of bread in a day. // Once a week we have family dinner night, and I use that as my cheat night. I have a Nando’s classic chicken wrap and some chips. // Snacks are important, I try and have one in-between meals (this doesn’t always happen) but I do things like homemade RAW chocolate, some Greek Yogurt with a dash of Honey and a piece of Fruit, some Fruit by itself, or Quinoa Crackers and Dip. There are a bunch of yummy sweet recipes on my blog, feel free to treat-yo-self, and indulge without feeling guilty!

WORKOUT SCHEDULE.
Since week 6 of round 2, I stepped up my LISS game, and did 6 sessions each week. I continued that throughout BBG 2.0, and I'm planning to continue with this general schedule for the next round. I know that 12 workouts a week may seem extreme, but it allows me to aim high, and if I miss a LISS here and there, I'm not going to be worried. Like I said before, now that I'm closer to my goals, I'm a little less strict on myself. I've already achieved so much more than I thought I would, and I feel so proud of myself for it! My journey does not stop here though, it's a never-ending healthy way of life. And I love it! It feels so good to work hard for the health and body that you want with your own sweat, tears and determination. By doing so, you're giving yourself time to form good habits along the way, and you're more likely to keep it up long term. There is no quick-fix that stays permanent.
Okay. Now the fun part! Lets get into the figures. These are my totals since I started BBG. Honestly, I feel a little overwhelmed by these. Even with muscle gain, I've lost over 10kg since starting.
CRA-ZY!

MEASUREMENTS & TRANSFORMATION.

Weight (-10.1kg)
Waist (-12cm)
Belly Button Line (-22cm)
Hips (-12.5cm)

Butt (-8cm)

Thigh (-7cm)



That's 10.1kg down, and 61.5cm gone from just these measurements. MIND - BLOWN!


Again, I feel a little nervous to put up this transformation photo for all the world to see! But it continues to keep me accountable. I'm so glad I took photos from the beginning, because otherwise I wouldn't actually believe where I started, and where I am now! I still have a fair way to go to get to my goals, but I'm not the least bit concerned about it. If I'M working, IT'S working. And good things can take time! So although difficult, if by having these photos up inspires just one person to make the change in their life that they need, it will be worth it.
OH - and even though I've changed my hair, you can be sure that it's still me in all the photos! If only it was as easy to lose weight as it is to change your hair! But then where would the fun be in that?!
Like I said before, life has been very busy for me recently. I've continued to take photos of myself every morning, but I haven't actually had the time to put them together yet and make a day-by-day transformation GIF from the last round! I do plan to though, so once it's done, I'll add it into this blog post and notify people via Instagram. For now, I'll just pop in my last one for those that hadn't seen the one from the end of the last round. I can't believe I have a whole 3 more months of photos to add to it!
Like I said before, the crazy thing about this whole journey, is that it's shifted my focus in life. It's become something I really LOVE. I love accomplishing my goals, I love discovering new delicious healthy foods, I love encouraging the girls that are on the same journey to keep going! I used to think I needed a personal trainer to force me to do things because I didn't have the determination to do it by my own will. But that's not the case anymore. I've come to realise that I DO have what it takes and I CAN make it happen. And so can YOU.
A huge thank you to Kayla again. And just like before, thank you to my husband for supporting me through another round, and thank you to Lara for doing each workout with me, and pushing me. And thank you to the whole BBG community!

YOU are stronger than you think, and you have what it takes to reach your goals. I promise you, the hardest part is just starting! What's holding you back? I was the queen of excuses, but when I finally let them all go, that's when my life changed. What do you have to lose? Let go of all your excuses, prove the world wrong, and see all the different areas of your life transform.

I honestly can't believe that it's been another whole TWELVE weeks since completing the very first round of BBG 1.0. But here we are 12 weeks later, with another round under our belts, and feeling better then ever!!

With any fitness related programs, you only get out of it what you put into it. I really have given this program everything in me! Not working out, is simply not an option for me anymore. I can tell you now that I feel so proud to be achieving what I set out to do. Not only am I lighter than I was pre-pregnancy now, but I have more muscle, I'm more toned, stronger, fitter, healthier, more confident and HAPPIER than I have been in a long time!

A couple of weeks ago, Kayla herself saw my progress photo and posted it on her own Instagram, which is a HUGE honour. I am so excited that she has seen the affect she's had on me. I hope she knows how thankful I am!

When I started back in August 2015, I had no idea how much I would love this journey. It's challenged me, changed the way I think, given me a new LOVE for working out, introduced me to a bunch of new friends, and it's become a part of my every day life.

Since I started (over 6 months ago) I have only missed ONE workout, and that's because of an injury that I'm still recovering from. And it was an extra workout anyway, so I'm not too bothered. When you make something a priority though, it changes you.

Oh hey there GUNS! Whaaa?! I know right, who would have thought!?
So as I've already said, yesterday I finished round two of BBG 1.0. And as of last night, I'm now the proud owner of BBG 2.0!! So that's what we're straight into today. After looking through it, I'm both nervous AND excited. I can't wait to see how I'm feeling after another 12 weeks of sweat and hard work!!

At the start of the last round, I wanted to work on food portions, drinking more water, and focusing on form with the exercises. I feel that I did pretty good with food portions and focusing on form, however I would still like to be drinking more water!! With the amount that you sweat during all the workouts, it's so important to keep hydrated! Something to focus on this round.

Also, going into this round of BBG, I will be keeping up with the extra workouts I've been doing since week 6 of the last round. I will go into that more later!

For those interested, here’s some information on changes and improvements! It hasn't really changed since the last round. Plus you can view my weekly workout schedule and (drum roll) my official transformation!

GIVEN UP.
Remember that this is a lifestyle change. Something that becomes habit. But also something that you want to maintain long term, so treating yourself on occasions is totally okay if you want to! Just don’t over-do it. So other than on really special occasions, I’ve given up..

SUBSTITUTES.
Quinoa // Dark Rye Bread // Coconut Water // Coconut Milk // Homemade Nut Milks // Homemade RAW Chocolate and Desserts!

RULES.
I have some general rules I stick with that keep me feeling good.

I do at least one Green Smoothie a day as one of my main meals, usually that’s for breakfast. I often get asked if that sustains me - and YES it does. I often don’t feel like lunch until around 1pm. // I usually have two pieces of Dark Rye Bread to make some kind of sandwich for lunch. I only have two pieces of bread in a day. If I want toast for breakfast I can, but then I either do my Green smoothie for lunch, or make a salad instead. // Dinners are usually things like chicken and salad, fish and salad, steak and veggies, soup, quinoa & tuna salad, or healthy homemade burritos (with some sneaky sour cream and cheese), and we sometimes do spaghetti bolognese (but instead of having the pasta I have the sauce on some mushrooms! You get used to it, and it’s pretty delicious!) // Once a week we have family dinner night, and I use that as my cheat night. I have a Nando’s classic chicken wrap and some chips. // Snacks are important, I try and have one in-between meals (this doesn’t always happen) but I do things like homemade RAW chocolate, some Greek Yogurt with a dash of Honey and a piece of Fruit, some Fruit by itself, or Quinoa Crackers and Dip. There are a bunch of yummy sweet recipes on my blog, feel free to treat-yo-self, and indulge without feeling guilty!

WORKOUT IMPROVEMENTS.
It’s crazy how your body adapts when pushed to! I couldn’t do lots of things when I started. Over the first round, I greatly improved on the following:

Full Push Ups
Commandos
Ab Work
Skipping
Burpees

During the second round, I feel like I improved on all of the above again! Plus..

Jump Lunges
In the last week or so, Lara and I really worked on form with these. And OUCH! They burn so bad. But we did it! YAY.

Broad Jump Burpees
These never become easier, but I do feel like I'm not quite as unco anymore. It took me some practice to be able to jump with both feet at the same time!

Squats
Just all the squats in general. I feel like I'm going lower and can really feel it working every muscle now!

WORKOUT SCHEDULE.
Since week 6 of the last round, I stepped up my LISS game, and did 6 sessions each week. I'm planning to continue with this general schedule for BBG 2.0. I know that 12 workouts a week may seem extreme, and it probably is if I was to keep going long term. But this is not a permanent thing, it's only temporary. Once I get closer to my goals and where I want to be, I'll pull back a little and be happy to maintain that. But for now, I've been giving it everything I have and have been seeing amazing results. I feel really good about that!



Okay. So lets get into the figures. These are my totals since I started BBG. Honestly, I feel pretty happy about these numbers. I have worked my butt off (literally!) with each exercise, never missing workouts and eating super clean, and I think it's really starting to show.


MEASUREMENTS & TRANSFORMATION.

Weight (-8.4kg)
Waist (-10.5cm)
Belly Button Line (-19cm)
Hips (-10.5cm)

Butt (-6cm)
Thigh (-5.5cm)


So I've said goodbye to 51.5cm overall. MIND - BLOWN!


It never really gets easier putting up a transformation photo for all the world to see! But I think it's important because it keeps me accountable. I can't believe where I started and how far I've come! I have a long way to go before I'm where I want to be, but I'm not worried. This is a journey, and one I'm loving. I hope that by having these photos up, they encourage and inspire you and make you realise that everybody can do it.


Just like I did last time, I've continued to take a photo every single morning, and Joe has helped me put together another GIF of my photo-a-day transformation! So press play and enjoy! 


The crazy thing about this whole journey, is that it's shifted my focus in life. It's become something I really LOVE. I love accomplishing my goals, I love discovering new delicious healthy foods, I love encouraging the girls that are on the same journey to keep going! I want to do this all the time. I used to think I needed a personal trainer to force me to do things because I didn't have the motivation to do it by my own will. But that's not the case anymore. Now I don't NEED one, I almost want to BE one!
A huge thank you to Kayla again. And just like before, thank you to my husband for supporting me through another round, and thank you to Lara for doing each workout with me, and pushing me. And thank you to the whole BBG community!

YOU are the only one that can reach your goals, so I really encourage you to make the change today if you are not happy or feeling confident in your health and body. Don’t put it off any longer. I guarantee you won’t regret it. You can do this. You’ve got this. YOU are your own warrior. And you’re not alone, you'll have a whole army of girls fighting beside you. 

Come hang out over at Instagram & Snapchat! Especially if you're on a similar journey. We can inspire and motivate each other. Also, if you're doing BBG, and live in Australia or New Zealand, come join our support group on Facebook.

This ‘get-fit journey I’ve been on has been amazing! HARD, but amazing! I’ve learnt so much about myself. The truth is, if you want to see a change, you have to want it really badly. You have to want it MORE THAN DONUTS! It has to become a priority and a way of life for you. That doesn’t have to happen straight away, but it does have to happen. It’s not some temporary diet, and/or going for a walk once a week for a month. No! It’s a lifestyle. It’s a change in the way you think. It’s setting and committing to goals. It’s sacrificing some of your weaknesses because your health and body are more important. And it’s feeling great about the every day decisions you make for you and your body.

It’s been an intense few months, but I’m super excited to say that I’ve officially finished my first round of BBG 1.0! I started with my sister-in-law, Lara, on August 24th. We did the optional 4 week pre-training, and then continued on straight away with the 12 week program. It was so great! I really committed to it and didn’t miss a single workout. Even when I wasn’t able to fit something in that day, I’d re-arrange the rest of the week so that I'd fit in every workout during that given week. It was challenging the whole way through, but so much more rewarding than I expected. When you start seeing results it really confirms that you’re on the right track.

What I really love about BBG, is the community that comes with it. There is a huge community of women that are on the exact same journey. Everyone is in different places. Some have reached their goals, and they just keep going to keep fit and to maintain the healthy lifestyle. Others are just starting out and need encouragement. I feel like when I started, I was given so much encouragement to stick with it and to keep going, and as I went along I felt like I was able to encourage others who were just starting out! It’s about building each other up, and finding confidence in who you are. I love that everyone is in it together! I do all the resistance workouts with Lara, and if it wasn’t for her, I wouldn’t be where I am now. It’s SO good to workout with someone, because you are constantly trying to keep up with each other, and push each other without even realising it! If I had been doing them alone, I feel like I would have definitely slacked off a little.

BBG is not some easy magical weight loss pill! In fact, there is nothing easy about it. It’s all YOU, and it’s a whole lot of hard work! You get out of it what you put in to it, so you may as well give it everything you’ve got! And it’s not just about working out, it’s also about what you put into your body. You can’t out-train a bad diet! It’s kind of a package deal. So you really have to want it, and you have to earn it. Doing BBG been a total lifestyle change for me, and has changed me from the inside out. I used to be someone who let the scales determine whether or not I had a bad day! But I’m no longer fussed by what the scales say. During the first 10 weeks of BBG, my weight didn’t change at all, but my body shape was changing dramatically!! That took a while to get my head around, but it’s true that muscle weighs more than fat. After the first 10 weeks, my weight started dropping to numbers I hadn’t seen in over a year and a half. That was an amazing feeling! But it felt even more amazing to be SEEING physical changes. You can achieve just about anything you want, you just have to get off your butt and make it happen!

There was a point a few weeks into the program that I feel like I broke through a barrier. Since then, I can’t imagine NOT doing this. It’s just become a part of my every day! My daily workouts are the part of the day that I really focus on looking after myself. I’m working on strength, on health and on fitness. And I’m doing that for me! But not just for me, I’m also doing that for my husband, and for my little girl, and that’s a priority for me. When you think about it, it’s not that hard to set aside 30 - 45 minutes (depending on the workout) each day to look after YOU.

I know that it’s only round one, but having completed it without missing any sessions, I feel like a warrior. I feel accomplished, and so proud of sticking to something even though it was tough! It’s amazing what you can do when you decide not to give up! I feel like I’ve already gotten my pre-baby body back. It may weigh a little more due to muscle gain, but I don’t really care. Scales-Schmales! I’m so much stronger, healthier, happier and more confident now.

So yesterday I finished round one, and today I’m straight into round two!! I can’t wait to see how I’m feeling after another 12 weeks of hard work! Going into this next 12 weeks, I’m going to tighten up a few things. I’m going to really try and watch my food portions. I’m going to drink more water. And I’m going to really focus on my form with all of the exercises. I’m also going to keep up with the extra Resistance workout I do over the weekend, and keep up with the maximums of LISS and HIIT that I do throughout the week that I’ve done for the last 4 weeks. BRING IT ON!

For those interested, here’s some information on changes and improvements! Plus my weekly workout schedule and (drum roll) my official transformation!

WORKOUT IMPROVEMENTS.
It’s crazy how your body adapts when pushed to! I couldn’t do lots of things when I started! But now, I can now do..

Full Push Ups.
I Could only do them on my knees to start with.

Commandos.
I literally couldn’t push myself up onto my hands when I started!

100+ Sit Ups in a row.
After my caesarean, I really struggled with the ab work to start with, but now it’s my favourite!! I LOVE ab work and LOVE the burn!

Skipping.
When I started, I had to jump one foot in front of the other! But now I jump feet together, and sometimes get through all the reps without stuffing up!

Burpees.
They were such a struggle to start with, but once you get used to doing Burpees with a push up, and split squat.. suddenly just plain Burpees become very easy!

There are probably lots more, as you improve at everything slowly, but those are the ones that stick out to me the most.

WORKOUT SCHEDULE.
Here has been my workout schedule for the last 4 weeks, and what I’ll be continuing with for round 2 of BBG 1.0.
MEASUREMENTS & TRANSFORMATION.
Weight (-3.3kg)

Belly Button Line (-13cm)
Hips (-6.5cm)
Butt (-2cm)
Thigh (-3cm)

Not gonna lie.. it’s a little scary putting up a transformation photo for all to see. Looking back at where I started in August, I really can’t believe I was living each day like that postpartum! I’m so glad I made a decision to change something. So although it’s a little (a lot) embarrassing to have these photos up, I’m hoping they encourage and inspire you and make you realise that everybody can do it.
Just for some fun after I’d finished pre-training, Joe suggested that I take a transformation photo EVERY morning for the whole 12 weeks so that we could put together a little GIF video to see the day by day transformation! I did one of each side, but I'll just show you a sneak of the 'Side' GIF. So press play and enjoy! 
Well, that’s it from me for now! The next 12 weeks start today. If YOU are not happy or feeling confident in your health and body, then don’t put it off any longer. I really encourage you to make the change TODAY, and give it everything you’ve got for 12 weeks. I guarantee you won’t regret it. You can do this. You’ve got this. YOU are you’re own warrior. And you’re not alone, you'll have a whole army of girls fighting beside you. 

A huge thank you to Kayla. Thank you to my husband for supporting me. Thank you to Lara for doing each workout with me, and pushing me. And thank you to the whole BBG community!

Life = Changed!
