My Renewed pledge to myself and to all who care to read!

Below is my commitment rejigged for Round 2, 2012 of the 12 week body transformation. This pledge has been seriously considered, refined and recommitted to. It has been printed, laminated and posted on the blessed refrigerator, a most worthy noticeboard.  P.S. I lost 6kg last round, decreased in 1 dress size, I laugh more and I let a lot more go through to the keeper than I use to. So round 1 I do call a success and I have signed up for more, which in reality means I have signed up for more life and more living.

  I am committed to do the work it takes to get me there. I am committed to losing 10kgs this round of the 12-week body transformation program (12WBT). I am committed to losing 20kgs by the end of 2012. I am committed to my mindfulness practice (MBSR) to improve my focus, my personal inner strength and integrity. I am committed to being the best version on myself here and now - forever growing. I am committed to dancing in my kitchen, laughing out loud and singing in the shower. I am committed to supporting my fellow 12wbt family members and I am committed to trusting in the process.

I accept the outstretch hands of all my supporters; my cheer squad, my family friends, my dear girlfriends, my sisters, my extended family here and far away, my mother, my father, and most precious of all my children. I shake your hands, each and every one of you and in return for the support and love you all give me and the faith you have in me, I commit this to you – I will be growing longer legs for bigger strides NOW!!!

So…, with 3 quick Hail Mary’s and Our Lady of the Way pray for me, the journey has begun again in earnest. How could it go wrong with so much support and love behind me, including myself - the strong, determined, committed, intelligent, caring woman that I am.
