I have been enjoying the Michelle Bridges 12 week body transformation and enjoying the meals though I have needed to substitute cooking methods as I have been in the caravan, bush camping last week using only a hot plate as the cooking method, no grills with me and even substituting meals to fit in with many meals as a guest in other people's homes. This is part of the 12WBT training, not to make excuses.

I am learning that I eat healthy and exercise even when it is not easy to fit in with other people's routines and expectations of me. I need to eat healthy and exercise even when I am visiting and travelling. No more, 'just this once time out', excuses.  I am learning to be more consistent and to make MORE of an effort.

I have totally broken the weight stall, I have been on and I am releasing weight well.

Then we visited Reg's sister for 2 days. Then we visited our  youngest daughter, during both the beginning phase of the 2 weeks and now during the mid to late part of the second week. This made half my meals, ones prepared in another's home and I have stuck perfectly to the calorie plan up until last two nights when the temptation, of my daughter’s delicious cooking, had me go several hundred calories, over my eating plan. I have made a mental note to work that off, next week.

Tonight is another challenge, the family want take away food.  I plan to prepare myself something I can eat and not be over calories and eat separate to them, I don't intend to waste the 300 to 350 calories I am allowed on stodgy pizza when I could have a plate full of more delicious and nutritious food I will enjoy more.

Then there is the taking exercise time while visiting. Somehow, I am still keeping it up though feel I have slacked off in the intensity.  LOL at the look on my sister in laws face when I announced 'I was heading out for a run'.

We were delayed, here at my daughter’s home by a few extra days due to tyre damage and getting a replacement. This gave me a chance to get to JB HiFi to get the three Michelle Bridges exercise DVD’s  I plan to do the Crunch Time Seek and Destroy, Cardio Kicker or whatever version of it that is possible to do in the space of the caravan, on my cardio exercise days, Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday.  Then I’ll try the Tight Toned and Terrific Crunch Time DVD on my strength training days Tuesday and Thursday. The super shredded Circuit, I doubt I will be able to modify for the caravan space but I will try it on the Saturday.

When the weather is good and the location, suitable, I go for a brisk walk and jog. When we are on power I can use the Wii and do my biggest loser total body workout program.  The DVD’s I just bought, I can use when bush camping as our DVD runs on solar power.

Then of course there  is the Grampians, where we are headed and some amazing mountain hikes to scenery.  It is a national park and our dog, will not be able to do these walks and Reg is no longer fit enough to do them. So provided Reg is well enough to leave at the caravan park with Indigo, I will be attempting some fairy strenuous hikes on my own.  There will be something a little sad about this.

The Grampians is Reg and my ‘special place’. It is sad, he is not fit enough, to do these walks to the summits, to see the views, with me but it does at least resolve the issue of who would look  after the dog while the hike is undertaken and it will be a fantastic, week three exercise program, for me and almost guarantee me, a great result for my week three, effort. 

We should reach theGrampians, Victoria, on Saturday.

We will stay at Grampians Gardens Tourist Park.
