I thought it was awesome and really inspiring, so much so that I wanted it on my ipod so I could listen to it when I worked out, so I made it into an MP3.
Just sharing it here in case anyone else would like the audio only version! Enjoy!

Cars and Calories*
Today was a beautiful day in Melbourne. It was sunny and warm, pretty much the perfect temperature. I was really good all day, got up for my workout, ate healthy food, got some new workout clothes. Everything was going well, and then THIS happened:
Yeah that is me. Yes, that is a slurpee in my hand. Not just a slurpee, the biggest slurpee you can buy at 7/11. According to myfitnesspal that is over 500 calories I just sucked down? Why!? Why did I do it? Well, mostly because my flatmate wanted to so I did it too. Now I feel gross, also like my morning workout was wasted.
Training extra hard tomorrow, that's for sure!
*The title of today's blog was inspired by the song Cars and Calories by Saves The Day.

Could it be working already!?
Not one, but two days in a row now, I've woken up before 5.30am to workout! Pretty awesome for someone who can easily sleep 10 hours and still be tired.
The first day (Friday) was a bit of a struggle. I was tired, some excuses popped into my head (the program hasn't started yet, I'll go after class, you haven't shaved your legs you disgusting ape so you cannot be seen in public in tights), but then my solutions to all my excuses popped into my head straight after them. My brain was automatically talking itself out of making excuses! Awesome.
Then this morning, I didn't even need the excuses, I just jumped out, and I wasn't even tired, and even better than that, I was PUMPED! I wanted to go to the gym, I sang along to loud tunes in the car and hydrated on my way there, and went hard when I was there.
Could it possibly be working this quickly or is it all a fluke? I guess time will tell!

How lazy is lazy?
Welcome to my blog. I am actually the laziest person in the world.
No really, don't bother arguing, I definitely am.
How lazy am I?
I would rather leave the mail in the box than walk up the hill to collect it.
I would rather pick up things with my feet than bother bending over.
If the remote is out of reach... I might just suffer through what's already on the screen.
Exercise is a foreign word to me.
McDonalds is a much easier option than bothering to cook something when I get home from work.
I can sleep for days.
My couch has a groove the exact shape of my ass.
I can tell you the story line of every tv show on the air and have seen every episode ever aired of Oprah, Dr Phil and let's not forget Dr Oz and Judge Judy.
Yes ladies and gentlemen, I am lazy, but my laziness hasn't stopped me from having adventures. In my short 22 years I've done some amazing things. These include:
Traveling solo overseas at just 15 to attend a new highschool in Canada and live with a new family.
Organized some amazing charity gigs for all kinds of organizations.
Climbed up and abseiled down some scary-ass cliffs.
Tutored refugee children.
Scored an internship with Walt Disney World.
Parasailed in Daytona.
Experienced the light and sound of New York City.
Hunted alligators in Georgia.
Travelled across the globe to meet somebody very special.
Braved a lot of heartache and heartbreak and laughed through it.
And these are just a few. In fact just thinking about these few highlights out of a million happy, amazing, brave moments in my life, makes me realise I can actually do anything I want. I've been living my life to the fullest, so why stop now?
I'm not. That's why I'm starting a little program known as the 12WBT. It's going to be tough, especially for the laziest girl in the world, but I also know that by the end I will be an even stronger person, with a better outlook and in better shape for even more adventures. (Hopefully I will even come out of it with a few more amazing friends).
So stay tuned for more adventures of the laziest girl in the world!
