Week 16 / Day 109

Week 16 / Day 109

O to the M to the G! Ladies and gentlemen, I DID IT!!! I finally reached my new years goal! It feels so damn good. And I cannot believe I got there. The last time I was this weight and close to body slimness was when I was 23 years old.

Start of the year                 Last Week                  This week
1st Januart                         13th April                   19th April
Weight: 71.4kg                 Weight: 67kg              Weight 66.0kg
Waist: 86cm                      Waist: 79cm               Waist: 78.5cm

After cutting out my sugar intake in meals, my weight and body fat has gone down incredibly, I think this is what was effecting, mostly, my tummy bloating.

I will be continuing with my cardio workouts, but now slowly increasing my weights and strengthening exercises.

So far it has been a hard journey. But I have learnt it has been a hard journey because of my thought process about it all.

In the past, I had put a time limit on my weight loss and has stressed myself out when I was not able to get the results at a certain time frame and would give up. Or I would push too hard one day and then need the rest and recovery the next day. Then I would trick myself into thinking I can have one snack, when I knew I would want more and will have more than I should. I also listened to people who thought my process was stupid or that I wouldn't get far. This was all not working for me.

The truth is, in the words or Frank Sanatra, I did it my way! Only I knew what was working for me and I went with it. I failed at certain times, and I knew that process didn't work for me. However, it may work for you. Its a case of trial and error.

If you want some support and guidance, I am willing to lend a hand.

This week has gone well. From starting my sugar free diet and watching my carb intake, I have gone down in weight. The images below are starting to take shape and I can now see a significant different between week one till now.

I still have a long way to go and a lot to catch up on, and I am still positive that I will complete this

Week 14 / Day 95

Week 14 / Day 95

This week has been a bit different to the other weeks. I have started my new monthly challenge of cutting out sugary treats, desserts and complex carbohydrates. I have found it slightly tough as I have found it hard organizing meals for myself at work. However, it is great being mindful of what I am eating and putting in my body. I have found my concentration lacking a bit more than usual.

But in saying this, my results are quite surprising in a great way.

Start of the year               Last Week                          This Week
1st January                      29th March                          5th April
Weight: 71.4kg                Weight: 68.7kg                    Weight: 67.3
Waist: 86cm                    Waist: 83cm                         Waist: 82cm
Hips: 83cm                      Hips: 83cm                           Hips: 84cm

Lets hope the results next week don't jump up vastly. Fingers crossed + hard work.
