THE RULES

1. Always Post the Rules

2. Answer the questions the person tagged you and write 11 new ones

3. Tag 11 new people and link them to the post

4. Let them know you tagged them

What is your favorite fairy tale/nursery rhyme? Rapunzel. I’m a huge fan of Prince Charming saving the Princess type deal, so anything with that sort of story line, I guess. Haha.

Are you a responsible person? I’d say so. And I think I’m getting more and more responsible/boring with every day. :]

How do you feel about yourself most of the time? Honestly, not great, but I’m working on it.

What habits do you hate that other people do that you do as well? Probably calculating calorie contents and telling people about the calorie content in the things they’re eating.

Are you good at keeping secrets? I can be.

Do you believe in a higher power? Ultimately, yes. But I’d prefer not  to go into that. I believe religion and spirituality are very personal things.

Would you honestly change any major events that happened in your past? To be really honest, I would change the career path I took. If I could change my mind about going to uni for Veterinary Nursing, I would.

What are you best at? Not breathing, or sitting, but something that you’ve worked hard at that you’re genuinely proud of? I don’t know about this one. Once upon a time I had a real flair for show jumping (horse riding), especially time trials. And I loved it. I miss it so much.

What do you think your 50 year old self would think of you at this point in your life? "You’ll get there, kiddo, you just need to find something to get you moving"

What questions would you ask your 50 year old self? "What is the name of my prince charming and is he a millionaire?" How do I get myself out of this mess?

What is your favorite color? :) As pathetic as it sounds, PINK. I LOVE THE COLOUR PINK. :] I refuse to wear it because it clashes with my skin tone, but all my accessories and bags and things are mostly pink. :]

New questions:

Do you curse? What is your most used curse word?

What is your worst vice?

What is your favourite song right now?

If you could go anywhere for a holiday, where would you go and why?

Do you have any phobias?

If you were in trouble, who is the first person you would call?

How long does it take you to get ready in the morning?

Do you enjoy the outdoors?

Would you consider yourself an adrenalin rush seeker?

Think back to when you were 8. Who was your best friend and are you still in touch with them now?

Who did you hug last?

11 questions

I was tagged by fun-fit-and-healthy-happiness :]

Rule 1: Always post the rules

Rule 2: Answer the questions the person who tagged you has written and write 11 new ones.

Rule 3: Tag 11 new people and link them to your post.

Rule 4: Let them know you’ve tagged them.

1. What is your best method for motivation? Um. I don't know. I think tumblr keeps me motivated. I log on every day and see a whole lot of fit people. And I want to be like them. Also, when I go out with my friends and feel second rate, that's always a good reason to go to the gym and get banging. :]

2. How much has the fitblr community impacted your fitness journey?

So so so so so so so so much. I would have given up a long time ago if I didn't run my own fitblr. And yeah, sometimes it feels like I'm talking to myself on my blog, but every now and then I get a lovely message or something. :] I have made one or two good friends through the fitblr community though and I think that's awesome. :]

3. Favorite healthy snacks?

Almonds and apricots. Rice cakes. Sliced tomato and basil on ryvita crackers. Blueberries. Om nom nom.

4. What do you plan on doing in your future?

I have no idea. I wanted to do a Bachelors of Science majoring in Nutrition. And then I got short listed for the course.  And then I thought about a Bachelors in sports science and recreation. But I don't think I'm fit enough for that yet even if my mum does. Haha. Then I thought maybe I should actually use the qualification that I've got in vet nursing. But I can't bring myself to do it. So long story short, I really don't know what I want to do in my future.

5. Do you have anything to say to people who are having trouble starting their path to a healthy lifestyle?

Do not feel disheartened if you can't get it 'right' at first. You will slip up. You will make mistakes. And that's okay. Be kind to yourself. So you didn't realize that muesli bars contain a lot of calories? So you didn't know that you should eat before you workout? It's a learning curve. You're allowed to make mistakes.

6. How do you plan on spending summer 2013?

Ohhhh. Well, during June and July and stuff, which is summer for America, I'll be freezing my bum off and working on getting into a bikini by New Zealand summer! :]

7. If you could spend one day with anybody in the world(dead/alive/fictional/celebrity) who would it be and what would you do?

As dumb as it sounds, I'd spend it with my friends James and Micah. And maybe some of our other friends. I spent a lot of time with James and Micah while we were at high school. We did a lot of drinking and had heaps of fun, drunk or not. Then James went and got a girlfriend. And I didn't see him for 2 and a half years. The first time I saw him since his girlfriend came around was the week before last. I miss him so much. James was my best friend. If we were hanging out, we'd probably go get a feed, play playstation, goto the driving range, buy a box of ice, get the boys around and get horsed in the sun. :]

8.What are you short-term fitness goals?

Do a back bend. Do the splits. Run 5km. Bang out 20 press ups. :]

9. Long-term goals?

Run a marathon. Learn some kick boxing. Kick my sisters ass at an arm wrestle.

10. Is there any new exercises or health foods that you want to try out?

Crossfit. Kick boxing. Learn to surf. I would be interested in trying out a raw food diet. Possibly paleo but probably not. LOL

11. What’s you’re favorite positive change since embarking on a healthy lifestyle?

LOOKING BANGING! Haha, just kidding. I feel happier in my day to day life because I don't hate myself any more. It's an awesome feeling.  I have a lot more tolerance for those around me and for myself when I screw up. I was once a very angry person, but I'm not so much now. :]

MY QUESTIONS

1. When did you last work out? What did you do?

2. When you buy workout clothes, do you feel the need to buy branded things such as Adidas or Nike?

3. What is your favorite sport?

4. Can you swim?

5. Would you rather go to the beach or to the woods?

6. If you had to choose a person to live forever that couldn't be you, who would it be?

7. Describe your perfect date.

8. If you could do anything in the world (tourist attraction wise), what would you do?

9. Can you cross your eyes? Can you post a photo of you giving it a go? :]

10. What is your favorite movie? If you can't choose one, hit a top 3.

11. What makes you so awesome? :]

And I recommend following any (or all) of the lovely ladies tagged above :)

[whiletheywereonthecouch]

- Answer the questions the tagger set for you in their post and then make 10 new ones

- Tag 10 people and link them to your post

- Let them you know you’ve tagged them

1. do you count calories? if so, how many do you eat a day? and if not, what do you aim for approximately?

NOPE. I try and aim for 1900/day. But I hardly ever manage that. I just try and eat better. :]

2. have you ever taken a weight loss break? I've fallen off the bandwagon for a week or 4, but I've never really said "I'M TAKING A BREAK". 

3. do you cook meals yourself?

I do. When you start eating different to everyone else (or move out of home!) you learn pretty quickly how to make a palatable dinner. :]

4. favourite blogs in the fitblr community?

In no particular order: justagirlandtheroad, fatboyslimmer,  pastelpinkandfit, the-running-bear, runlikeshit, runninggroove, malefitspiration and of course, tumblrgym. THERE ARE HEAPS MORE THOUGH. Those are just the ones that have popped into my tired tired brain. :\

5. HAVE YOU DRANK PLENTY OF WATER TODAY? < serious question

Not as much as I should have! Dammit, Kayla, you caught me on a bad day!! Hahahaha. :] I'll be honest though. I only had, like 2 glasses. :\ 

6. do you have any kind of goal/reward system for mini losses/nsv’s?

No, not really. And I think that's why I've 'plateaued' for so long. Because I haven't had any thing to drive me to that next step. I've got an idea hidden away up my sleeve though. Watch this space.

7. what do you do for strength training?

I do weights at the gym once a week. I slaughter my whole body, to the point where I know it will be tough to walk the next day, give myself 6 days to recover and then do it all again! I lift as heavy as I can. Chest press, leg press, seated row, bent over row, press ups, lunges, squats - all good fun, baby.

8. what does your general day of food look like?

Terrible. Start the day with porridge (if I'm lucky), lunch might be a salad, dinner is usually a pasta or risotto made by yours truly.

9. have you ever tried any fad diets?

The only one I've tried was the "Australian Woman's Weekly 21 Day Wonder Diet". It was just a whole lot of recipes that were to be followed. Mum and I did it for the first week and a half, but because all the dishes were so expensive, we stopped. I mean, we can't afford to have salmon every night. Hate to break it to you, but most people can't. I lost weight though, which was cool. Lost like 3kgs. So it works, but only if you're ballin'. 

10. whats your favourite healthy, and non healthy food?

Healthy food - Sushi Non healthy - butter chicken. or fried chicken. 

My turn now. Answer these questions. :]

1. What made you decided to get healthy?

2. What is your favorite exercise and what  is your personal record?

3. Who/what inspires you the most to do your best?

4. Who is your fitness hero?

5. If you could choose between 1 free 12 month gym membership or 1 year of free vegetables, which would you choose?

6. QUICK, Zombie Apocalypse is happening right now, DO YOU THINK YOU CAN OUT RUN THEM?

7. Cardio can be boring. Would you rather have Lady Gaga or Chris Rock as your running buddy?

8. When I first started exercising regularly, I couldn't run for 1 minute. Now, I'm running for 10 minutes without stopping. What athletic ability are you most proud of at the moment? 

9. Has your 'healthy' mindset changed since you started?

10. I believe that the key to healthy living is education. Say I wanted to start teaching children about health and I asked you to become a 'food superhero', what would your name be and what could your powers do to help me teach children about diet and exercise?

Haha. Holy shit. These questions got nuttier and nuttier towards the end. I MUST be tired!!!
