Feel the wobble, embrace the wobble 'cause soon it will only be a memory!

"Here I stand on the precipice of a great journey. I have stood here many time before over the past 8 years and have not reached my goal. Will I succeed? I don't know. Though saying that is not being defeatist, any more than screaming I shall succeed, leads one to prevail. What I do know is that I wish to succeed, I desire to succeed, I want to succeed ... I need to ...

    Can many small steps, no matter how dogged, trump past inept good intentions? ? ? Yes that is it. That will be my motto, 'Many small steps', for now, and maybe in time I shall grow longer legs for bigger strides."

Excerpt from my journal 27th December 2011, after my caring daughter pulled me aside to voice her concerns about my weight, my health. I could not envision at that time the possibility of anything more than small steps. Only 1 month has past and I can feel the possibility. Truly taste it. Feel it in my waters (as my Nana would have said). Gone is the motto, 'many small steps' - dogged and all, as I am growing longer legs for bigger strides NOW!! 

I joined Michelle Bridges 12WBT, joined forums, getting involved and getting ready. The 2012 / 1 season hasn't even started yet. I haven't seen a single eating plan, nor put foot to pavement but have lost 3 kg already.  We are in preseason and wow we are getting it together.

At first a bit impatient to get thing going but I now realize how important this preparation time is, as I am getting real, gearing up and taking control. I had an awesome 90 minute dance session in the kitchen today to high energy music. I danced and danced, I sweated, I laughed and cried. Sounds funny but it was truly the beginning of my 12wbt journey. 

My body was doing it's thing, my soul was reconnecting to the dancer I once was. I was so joyfully in the moment and I let it rip!! I shook, I shimmied, I pranced and twirled. I heffalumped grand jetes through the lounge room.  The music was blaring and I thought ... feel the wobble, embrace the wobble for it will soon be only a memory. And I did, I trembled, I quaked, I moved in any way I could to shake that stuff, for I was giving it notice ... "Thank you for being there to protect me during those long dark year but now it's adios amigo".
