After
finding any and every excuse under the sun, I have finally started my exercise
and diet regime, hooray!
As said in
a previous post before, weight has been a constant issue for me. A constant
issue in which I never did anything about it. But now that I’ve found
motivation with the help of a significant person who has gone through what I am
going through now, I have finally taken the next step to my weight goal.
In an
attempt to lose 10kg in two months, my diet consists of a ten day extreme
weight loss plan, followed by a week of healthy eating, back again to the ten
day diet, and so on, for one month. My ten day extreme diet is similar to the
Dukan diet- I only eat foods high in protein and low in carbs. Avoid fruits,
vegetables, carbs, and fat. And right now I’m having oh so much fun with what I’m eating right now… not. The fruit at
home is beckoning me, and I’m a real sucker for fruit.
For
exercise I do 5-10 minutes of strength training in the morning, followed by an
hour of cardio, 20 minutes of strength training, and 10 minutes cool down in
the afternoon. I know it’s better to exercise in the morning, but I really have
no time considering I don’t sleep much- which I know is pretty bad, too.People keep
telling me that losing 10kg in two months is too much, but there are a few
people who have lost 2.5kg in less than a week. I am sure I can lose a maximum
of 10kg by September. I’m 55kg now, so you can do the math. I know, I know. My
goal weight is extremely underweight.
But what everyone doesn’t realise is that I probably won’t get to that point. I
know when I have to stop- I’m not foolish enough to think that being thin is
what’s beautiful.
Whenever I
think about it, I feel like I was always meant to be small. Not by height
(which, by the way, I’d love to grow some more- like another 6 inches!!!!
Please bless me with height :c) but by size. My bones are relatively small but
my body is too big. If I wrap my fingers around my wrist, my middle finger
touches the middle joint of my thumb. Yeah, I have small wrists. Small hands,
too!
I have a
fat belly, large thighs, flabby arms. I need to work out my whole body if I
want results.
And it
sucks. Exercising HURTS. I can’t
laugh too much right now because my abdomen will hurt. Even walking up the stairs
hurts- and I only started exercising yesterday. Yesterday! Imagine how I’ll be
today, tomorrow, and the day after.
I know this
is good though. It means I am getting nearer towards my goal. My goal is
actually 47kg, but 48-50kg will be okay. In two months I’ll have the body that
will blow everyone away, and I’ll make sure to stuff it in the faces of people
who have lost me or put me down.
So, do you
think I can do it? I think I can. I’ll picture my progress along the way, get
ready to see changes!
