City To Surf - Perth
This is a major milestone for me. Thought I may not be allowed to even compete since I only had stomach surgery less then 3 weeks ago. But my surgeon said I could compete as long as I was mindful of any soreness etc. Well, I just JFDI’d it and completed the 12km walk in just under 2hrs and 30 mins.
I was determined to give it a red hot go as far as my post surgery body would take me. There was a moment there I was about to give up and my husband said to me “What would Mish say if you quit now?” and “JUst get into the zone and Just F’n DO it” and so with his support we made it to the end
After the race, hubby said to me. “your mindset is so changed. Last year you wouldn’t have even contemplated the 12km walk, and to be honest you didn’t even sign up for the 4km because you didn’t think you could do it. Now this year you did a 12km walk after surgery. I am so proud of you and this is your achievement that you can improve on in the future”

Time to go home
Well Sunday came.
Spent the morning walking around Brisbane City with Elaine Creevy & Helen and Shannon Mansfield. Popping into various stores. I still bought more clothing.
Bought 2 tops and a dress from Chicabooti.
A top from Supre.
And of course a sports top from the Adidas store. And of course look at what I happened to see in the store.
After the shopping we went across the river to the South Bank Markets and wandered around there for a few hours.
We headed back to the hotel just in time to head off for the airport.
Flying home to Perth was so different to flying over to Brisbane. Going over to Brisbane I flew the red-eye Jetstar no frills. Coming home was with Qantas. I loved the Qantas service - bigger seats, more leg room, inflight movie, dinner and drinks all included in the price, pillows, blankets, headphones and just awesome comfort. The only mar to the flight was the storm front we hit as we arrived in Perth. Turbulence plus. But I'd definitely fly Qantas again.

Round 2 - It's a wrap
It was my first trip to Brisbane - or Brisvegas as it is often dubbed.
I was going over for the group workout and also the finale party. Unfortunately the workout was a no-no but I still got to soak in the atmosphere and took heaps of photos.
The Perth Crew - pre workout
Michelle Bridges pumping up the crowd ready for the workout.
Push ups time.
It was an awesome day.
Even better was the evening.
This is me in my finale party dress.

Day 1 @ Perth Crew party central Brisbane
So, we arrived in Brisbane about half an hr early. Helen, Shannon and I collected our bags had a quick bite to eat and then caught a bus to the hotel. Our room wasn't ready when we arrived so we tried to catch a few zzzzs in the lounge, some of us could some of us couldn't. When our rm was finally ready 2 hrs later we went up and it was a lift rm, pretty difficult when 2 people can't do stairs. Helen waved her magic wand and got us transferred to another room, right next to the pool. If only I could go swimming it would be so awesome, but alas chlorine and surgical glue don't mix.
Hunger was calling so we went and had Chinese, much better than the Thai place we saw.
Some more of the Perth crew arrived about 3ish and we all went to woolworths to get dome supplies, bread, milk, etc.
At this point I still hadn't had any sleep so was working off adrenalin. We all hopped on a bus and went to Westfield chernside for tea and a look around the shops (helen and I decided we would come back tomorrow for a proper shopping trip)
It was about 11pm by the time I got to bed. The first time in years I'd been up over 40 hrs.

Leaving on a Jet Plane
Well, in 5 hours time hubby will be driving me to the airport so I can catch the Jetstar red eye flight to Brisbane. Going to Brisbane for the 1st time in my life. But what a good reason to go. I am going over for the 12WBT Round 2 Finale Party. Got an awesome strapless cocktail frock, and I am gonna have heaps of fun with a bunch of awesome people from the Perth Crew.
A big shout-out to my newish friend (formed via the 12WBT) who managed to convince me and most importantly my husband that I should go to Brisbane and have fun. Helen Mansfield you rock and I can't wait to PARTAY with you.

12WBT Round 3 - 2011
I’ve made a promise this round, to keep a regular blog. To document all my challenges, obstacles and successes.
A little bit about me:
I am 36 (nearly 37).
I am from Perth in Western Australia.
At my heaviest weight I weighed in at a whopping 190kg.
I had lap-band surgery in 2006.
I lost 54 kg before joining 12wbt for the first time.
My first round in 2010 was a success losing 8.5kg but I put all that weight back on over x-mas,
In 2011, I started again and lost 6kg from round 1, this was great for me considering I was newly diagnosed with depression. Lost 10kg from round 2 and a few extra in between rounds.
On the 3rd of August I was rushed off to hospital with a slipped lap-band and had to have emergency surgery to have it removed.
At the beginning of the year I was wearing size 22-24 tops and size 22-24 pants. Currently I am wearing size 16-18 tops and size 16-18 pants. I may not have lost much weight but I have shrunk.
Today, I start the Pre-season of my 4th round. I am going to keep doing this program until I reach my weight-loss goal or fall pregnant.
So to start the round the right way. Here is a picture of me squeezing all my wobbly bits into a size 16 sports top and sports pants.
