8 Week Weight Loss Challenge

This year is half way gone, did you make any New Year resolution about losing weight and yet you have not achieved that? Do you keep falling of wagon? How do you feel about the whole weight loss thing? December is coming and believe me it’s coming so fast, I don’t mess with my time. I love to plan ahead to achieve whatever I want to achieve. Don’t worry it’s not too late to start
losing weight.

I totally understand that it is not easy to lose weight, am not judgmental about weight loss because I have been there and still at it. You might have lots of weight to lose which 8 weeks might not be enough but believe me it’s better to start now than to sit and wallow in self-pity or given up.

Am feeling positive, I feel comfortable with my clothes but I know there is always room for improvement. I started this journey wearing UK jean size 26 (am talking about tight 26) am now a comfortable size 12. Who said it can’t be done? It takes 4 weeks for you to see changes in your body, 8 weeks for your friends to notice and 12 weeks for the world to see. If you want change, you just have to work hard to achieve it. It’s won’t come by sitting down but by hard work and determination.
You don’t have to join but if you are interested then that's great. … Start planning your meal, workout and time management. Only through planning will you succeed.

To start this challenge, we will have to:

• Get rid of every single junk in your house; don’t keep it for your kids because they don’t need them.
• Plan plan plan……if you don’t plan, you won’t success in this weight loss journey 
• Eat more fruits and veggies
• Exercise, exercise and exercise… I always get “I don’t have time, I don’t have time” if you truly want it you must make out time. I know mothers with 5 or more kids doing it.
• Eat only good complex carbohydrates ( I will write a post on this)
• Drink at least 4 liters of water daily (no fizzy drink)
• Weigh in every Friday
