Progress

Its been a long time since I opened this site and looks like its the same story with the members. With my family falling sick one after the other, working from home on the bad days etc I hardly had the time to think about diets and exercise. But I must be doing something right when to my utter disbelief I found that I had lost a full kg (a miniscule amount, I know) and I felt like I had dropped 10. So, now its 1 down and 12 more to go to reach my target weight. After losing this 1 kg, I feel so impatient to lose 10 more kgs. I havent started exercising yet, and have started being a little more active at home and work. while feeding my child, I make sure the plate is far away, so that for each bite I need to walk at least 10-15 steps. And I just play more physical games (such as running and jumping around for no reason) with my older child and also walk around from one room to the other tidying the place up (instead of taking 5-6 items at 1 go, I take each one individually). So, in a way I'm trying to incorporate some form of increased activity in my life. Also, I've started counting calories and it really helps since now I think twice before sinking my teeth into some mouthwatering dishes. I really hope to lose 8-10 kgs by end of this year. So keeping my fingers crossed. How is everyone else doing with thier journey?

Found & Lost!

Hi there,
Finally, I have some good news to report. I found my weighing scale ...AND...lost two kilos! Woohoo! So those five days a week of workout are finally paying off. Two kilos in one month....23 more to go...:)

For some reason, I'm unable to post comments against each post. So here's something I wrote for you, Joice:

"Awesome! Congrats on getting back into the game. :) I spend about 30 minutes on cardio (usually the bike), spend another 15 minutes working on weights and spend another 15 minutes on abs and core. One hour every working day. I take the weekends off. I also make sure I stick to food portions. Seems to work so far. I'm also seeing this as a lifestyle change rather than a quick weightloss thing, so I'm working hard to build my inner discipline regarding health...which seems a lot harder than any physical activity at the gym! :) Did you think about, maybe, working with a personal trainer for a few sessions to help tailor your training?"
Cheers,
M
