Loud and Proud...Babes.

First of all, super nervous posting on our SWSYD blog! I need to say mad props to Vikki for doing such an amazing job on getting this up and running. I know, for sure, that I am not the only one who is so thankful for what you are doing for us and all the work that is going to setting up our 'Accountability Group'. I am super excited for it. 


Quick intro of who I am: 
Name: Rebecca Jordan
Age: 26
Forum Name on 12wbt: bexjor
Twitter Name: bexjor
Completed: Round 1, 2012.

So now down to the nitty gritty of it all... time to be loud and proud hey? Put my commitments out there for the world, this is very hard because last round I just didn't live up to the expectations I put on myself and that broke my heart. My mind is going to be the biggest barrier for me and I am very scared, but onwards and upwards ay'! 


So my commitment to the universe is:

  • I will not give up, quit, lose focus, stop following the program at all in Round 2, nor will I pretend that I am still following it when really it is half-assed.
  •  I will stay on the forums, stay connected to our crew in every way possible!
  • I will get under 100kgs by Week 2 of program.
  • I will go to the gym 6 days a week, no excuses!
  • I will learn to deal with my emotions and not eat them away.
  • I will participate in the City to Surf with my brother, or something along those lines.
  • I will look smoking hot in a bikini by next January.
  • I will lose 30kgs.

OK, that is enough... I am freaking out as I type them which is not good but I just have to push through this, they way I treat my body is utterly disgusting. And the reasons why I punish myself with food is beyond OK, but more on that later. I have told myself I will not step onto the scales until 'Measure Up' just before Round 2 begins. I have become so focused on that stupid number that is obsessive, and does nothing for me. There is definitely some up's and downs to weighing in. I find I am not as mindful of what I need to accomplish, but I have come to enjoy exercising more because I am using it as more of a release. I would hope I have lost weight for Round 2, but if I haven't that will push me too!

I have to say that I love reading the blogs of my fellow SW crew, I love you guys and think you're awesome. We are such a supportive family together and it's just totally gorgeous. I am so proud of Tamara for doing her first handstand, as I was reading through the post expecting it to be purely about the handstand, I realised her handstand was a symbol for so much more, it truly is an accomplishment!!!

Hot Tip: Instead of caking on more make-up when your face gets shiny, I carry around Oil Blotters that I bought from Priceline, they are super cheap and don't remove your make up...just the gross shine!

Thanks!

Can't wait to head to the beach with you in January!

Bec... Great first post .. You have made me think about bikinis, which is something that I have not thought of for a very long time ... Probably about 30 years! ... I have decided that I would like to wear a bikini also after I loose my 30kg... I have a swimming pool in my backyard which i have been too embarrassed to use as I don't even own swimmers, the only thing that I wear is a big shirt and shorts... Now thinking a pool party in a new bikini will be my present to myself for reaching my goal weightloss ... Thanks Bec, you have given me a drive in a direction that I had not even considered!
