Working at and smashing my goals!


In my posts, I talk a lot about goals.  Ones I have smashed, ones I am working at and new ones for the future.  But what my lovely readers do not see is how hard I work at them…me in action!  That is why I am starting this page!  It is a place for me to post photographs of the ‘evidence’.  A place to keep me accountable for my actions, and a place for people to go to see me in action!  I hope that my ‘journey’ can inspire you!  

To view my journey till now, scroll to the bottom, this way my most recent photos appear first! (and yes...it is pretty much a selfie log! I make no apologies ;)

In case you wanted to watch me jumping around on TV! ;)


Went to Bounce.  Had a wicked time acting like a child... also managed to pull a muscle in my back... whoops!





Colour Run 2014... HAD A BLAST! 


Took part in the fitness challenge at the 12WBT Spring Festival



The Mother's Day Classic, Adelaide 2014...MY FIRST EVER MEDAL!!!




PINK! I have never ever worn pink.  It always represented being girly and feminine, not something I ever felt when I was large.  




New season of the new me means a whole new wardrobe...Size 10 jeans! Boo yeah! GOAL SMASHED!! =D

Working on my current goal which is to be able to do ring dips...working on it...slowly but surely I will get there! 

Casual selfie before uni one morning...Because I have the confidence now! GOAL SMASHED! =D

I have always hated wearing my glasses.  They would annoy me because they were quite wide to fit my face.  When I started losing weight from my face, they would always fall off.  A new pair later and I can wear them with confidence...they make me look so professional! Ahaha! GOAL SMASHED! =D
When you have a headache and don't want to train...DO IT ANYWAY! Hair down relieves the strain on the head! Wearing inspirational tees help too! ;)

I have always been a strong swimmer, but avoided it for years because it meant bearing all in my bathers...but now I am back in the pool!! GOAL SMASHED! =D

How awesome is this top?! The goal was to feel confident wearing it...GOAL SMASHED! =D

I never used to feel comfortable in long sleeved t-shirts, or t-shirts with any sort of tailoring!  Now they are my fav! GOAL SMASHED! =D

Xmas day workout... GOAL SMASHED! =D

One of my many late night/early morning training sessions... JFDI!

Photographic evidence of one of many hi-fives from Mish! =)

My first 12WBT finale party! Round 3, Sydney 2013...I felt like a super model, and had reached my goal weight of 70kg's THE DAY BEFORE!! GOAL SMASHED! =D

Wore a bikini on the beach for the very first time! GOAL SMASHED! =D
(No close ups of this one allowed!  But that is me on the right =)


18kg's down and feeling confident for my trip to Europe in June 2013! GOAL SMASHED! =D


18kg's down for my 21st birthday in June!  I felt 100% that night! I actually remember freaking out over having to buy a dress (my formal dresses during high school had to be hand made!) I BOUGHT A FORMAL DRESS OFF THE RACK EASILY! GOALS SMASHED! =D 

My very first fun run! The colour run in Adelaide 2013...I ran part, walked part and funnily enough HAD FUN!...GOAL SMASHED! =D

When I first started to lose weight, I was starting work at 5am and would train when I finished at 3pm.  Here I am totally exhausted from work and training that I was in my Pj's while the sun was still out! 

I bought this crazy awesome gym top when it was first released and made it a goal to fit into it...GOAL SMASHED! =D

As I dropped weight, my confidence grew! Yes, that is a LACE TOP! GOAL SMASHED! =D

April 2013, 10kg's down on the same day I met my idols! GOAL SMASHED! =D



This was me at the beginning of my journey.  I had decided to take the first steps in becoming healthier and happier.  These photos were taken in December 2012, I remember taking so many of them, and deciding that I looked least "fat" in these two, so I kept them.

My very first day as a Pre-Service Teacher in 2012! I was so nervous and excited, but felt disgusting, huge and bloated.  I thought to myself, "how can I inspire my students to be the best they can be, when my own self confidence is so low?"


These two photos were taken in my first year of university.  2010 when I started to pile on the last of my weight.
