Its surprising now some people thinks that weight loss is a quick fix, of cause there are fad diets but the reality is that they don't last. From the start of my weight loss journey, I have had struggles, set backs, days when I don't feel like working out or days when I eat what am not suppose to eat but I have always known the truth, that losing weight is not easy. For someone that has loss 68 kg believe me, I know.
I don't see what am doing as a diet, its more like eating healthy, changing my eating habit one day
at a time. I noticed that each time I try out any diet plan, I fail at it. Don't tell me what to eat, I just want to eat what I love. If its pie, it will be a healthy version of pie but tasty as well. I can't live on salad for the rest of my life, so please don't introduce me to your kind of
This part that i have chosen (i.e to eat right), I will do it for the rest of my life. It is important for others trying to lose weight to understand that the only way to a successful weight loss and maintenance is balance. If all you eat to lose weight is salad and green tea, how long will you live on that.
I have said this in my previous post and will continue, how did I do it? how are my doing it? what tools have used or using? I get emails with questions on how to lose weight and keep it off. Let me tell you what i have done, what am doing and tools I am using or have used. Active, active and active.......... An active lifestyle makes it easier. Writing down what I eat has enable me balance my relationship with food. Being active has really helped me, am stronger now (yap yap yap), thing i wouldn't think about doing in the past, now i can and even more. I am in the better shape than I have ever being. Any day I exercise, I feel so fresh and energized.
I workout 4 to 5 times weekly, some days are 1 hour intense workout and others are 20 to 30 minutes. Initially I could only skip and take walks, but now I do lots of workout like jogging, strength training, intense cardio, insanity and longer walks. Its important to find out what works for you and push yourself. Sometimes when you feel you can't, that's when you are stronger to push even harder.
I did not use any form of medication, pill or slim tea to enable me lose weight. I come across those that swear by weight loss pills but I will never subscribe to it. If you are using, fine but personally am not interested. Nothing much to preach about it, its all about choice.
I stood all through yesterday, cooking and baking because we had visitors over, and in an African house, its all about food, food, and food when people are coming over. We just love to eat together. Temptation was everywhere, I needed rescue and thanks to my wonderful buddies Rala and Harriet (power puff girls ...lolz) I conquered.
