Health Progress Update

let's see, how far i've come since last year. i have made a pact that i need to loose weight earlier this year. and then i've tried.HARD. i lost about 16 kg.
For 2011 my resultion is loose another 5 kgs. and i feel it will be a harder jouney.
My body is in the comfort zone now. putting on anything or didnt put on anything the weight is still remaining THE SAME. truth is, a bit tired sometimes & wanna put it on a autopilot mode for a while.And i did for the last couple of month i didnt really dieting or being strict.but not went over board also on the food thingy. i eat regularly like a normal person does. (whatever defintion for normal is) hahaha.

But now, i want to be back on track.FAST LANE.FAST SPEED.
So the goal for 2011 is to continue my regular exercise (hopefully i can commit to three times a week) and back to non rice meal :P

If you wanna know my diet & exercise plan, you can update me by reading it daily.
I will update my progress (weight & meal). I do this in order to have a better overall feelings bout my health in the long term.

Ok here's my weekly plan :
MONDAY ==== Weight : 59 kg

bfast : a bowl of cereal >> DONE
lunch : 1 portion of green / leafy veggies + 1 portion of meat (no rice) >> DONE
afternoon : rujak without the palm sugar dressing
night : 1 portion of veggies + 1 small portion of meat (no rice)

drinks = plenty of water & sugarless tea >> DONE, tx God i'm not a heavy fan of sweet beverages

exercise = 1 hour cardio, devided into 4 sessions.

I will update daily of my accomplishment whether i succed or bend a little bit from the route. :) :)

Let's plan and do some action. Eat healthily live actively.EVERYDAY.

Happy MONDAY :) cheers
meanwhile, let's check my newest beautiful acqusition :) to cheer up my diet plan

the effort to keep healthier lifestyle

as far as i remember,i was heavy.
not heavy as in obese or very overweight.but heavy.
in simple, fat.
it is not a very nice word to be heard.specially when it is being said to you.
but over the years, i have began to shake the slight hurt and laugh it off.
i became unaware of my health condition. i was just living my days without healthy planning at all.
i ate whatever i wanna eat. i ate whenever i wanna eat. nevermind that it was a huge slice of double choco cake and it's almost midnight.

But a shock in the early 2010 hit me. as long as i live (specially when i know im already in an overweight zone) i NEVER hit the scale.i didnt know what came over me that day and i stepped my feet.74 kgs (148 pounds).
I NEVER THOUGHT THAT I WAS THIS HEAVY.
and sudden fear crept in.the flashing thought ohf heart disease,diabetes,stroke, and whatever just come flew..

My then boyfriend [now lovable husband ;) ] support me through all this.
i decided to change my lifestyle.
it was not easy, even until now.
i slowly reduce my food intakes. (im a huge fan of fried foods & chocolates)

actually i didnt came up with a magic plan or anything.

These are some of the simple steps that i do until now :
1. regular exercise. (everyday or every other day, 30 - 60 mins cardio exercise)
2. stopped eating white rice for almost six months,now i start eating it again but in small portions.
3. i dont drink colored beverages to this day (no sodas,or any softdrink), i only gulp on tea (sugarless) & plain water... but occasionally drink some milk :P :P
4. reduce fried foods intake .[THE HARDEST PART]
5. more veggies on my plates :)

it is not always smooth sailing.i struggle each day.but the result is making me smile. i lost 17 kgs already.
now, im having a hard time loosing another 5kgs.i think my body is in the comfort zone... XD XD

i still wanna keep the lifestyle i lead,because now i begin to enjoy my night run at the gym.Fast paced walks with husband.Outdoor activities and so much more..

there were days that i wanna slack off & eat junks, but then i keep telling my self.
"the healthier the body the happier the mind"

i have to keep the effort alive!!

i know you can too ;)

kisses

it is getting really hard...

i dont know why, but i think my progress is slowing down.
perhaps the body is just content with the way it is right now :D :D :D
nyaaaaaa...haaa..haaa...
so i just wanna remind myself that as of today :

Running again tonight :)

Ready for 5 K!

If ever you are curious ...

the pic shown above is just some thing that i keep in my personal journal.
I dont mean it to be a brag, or a show off moment.
I just wanna share my happiness..
So i will be motivated always, determined always, full of spirit always!
As i know, that the journey is still gonna be long...
and i constantly remind my self that every setback is not equal to failure.
Instead, i renew my strong will to keep living healthier.
Day by day..
with baby steps..
(If i can do it, you know you can too!!)

Love,
emmz
