Thank you, lovely people! Todays workout consisted of Zombies! Run 5k took my 7 month old labrador puppy with me. Not sure who was more tired at the end of it, me or the dog!

Hey 1) Okay time frame. I havent really thought about it to be honest, im not sure how long it would take. Why dont we say 12 weeks? That will take me to december, around christmas time, which is the height of summer in Perth, Australia where im staying until January. It would be amazing to feel great in a bikini for a little while before i have to go back to the cold UK 2) I can work out whenever really, i work in a hospital and they have a gym there, and a swimming pool so i would be able to work out after work or before work. I also have a gym near where i am living which im a member of and make use of quite a lot. And I'm currently doing the Zombies! Run 5k app training too (makes taking the dog for a walk much more fun!). I aim to work out around 4 times a week as a general rule, but i could do more if i had to - i realised im lying to myself if i tell myself i dont have the time (Thanks for that one NERD Fitness!!). 3) Hmm... Okay. I guess fit and smooth. But i do definitely want to increase my strength too

My motivation? Im sick of saying "one day i will..." and making excuses. Im sick of putting everyone else first and letting my own health decline in the process. I will do this for myself. Time to be selfish. Main Quest: To be fitter, stronger and comfortable in a bikini. Specific Goals: I will work out at least 4 times per week I will not oversleep I will try out new classes at the gym at least once a week. Side Quest: Finish Paying off my debt.Track and record my fitness programme (be it on here or on paper)

Okay so im going to be as blunt as i can be, this is what i want to achieve; I want to feel comfortable in a bikini I want to tone my stomach up I want to become stronger (my arms are particularly weak and pathetic - like flower stems) I want to generally improve my fitness I have tried a few times, admittedly i have not put my all into it. Im not too familiar with weights and such so i tend to go on the treadmill a lot. I feel great for a couple of weeks while I'm going to the gym pretty regular and whatever - but something will always come up (night shifts, general laziness, sickness) and i just lay down and take it. Just shrug and go "oh well, i suppose ill start again some other time". Its pretty sad. My diet isn't too bad, theres room for improvement but i eat plenty of fruit and vegetables and not so much processed food. So any help with any particular exercises that will help me to achieve my goals would be greatly appreciated. Any information about weights and the different weight training exercises i could do would be greatly appreciated. And any good tips to help me to stick to my goals will be greatly appreciated!
