I ask myself – how do you feel about that? And I am not too sure… I still feel pretty fat sometimes and sometimes it feels unreal that I have actually lost 10kg since I started PROJECT MY BODY! I am however very EXCITED.
Tonight I looked at the photo’s I took on the day I started my project and committed to changing my lifestyle. Not all too pretty. I am not really comfortable for putting the photos on the web. But looking at them I realised that I have to get into my bikini and take the same photos again and then compare the photos! That is the only way that I would be able to see the difference.
I am getting closer to hitting my target weight, but am I reaching my goal?
I think back on my reasons and desires that I had for setting out on this journey of discovery, of moulding and shaving away of fat, bad habits and bitter things in my life
And I remember this…
… I want to be healthy …
…I want to be FIT…
…I want more energy …
… I want to weigh a healthy weight…
…I want to be more…
I am NOT yet there!
I realise my short comings. Although I celebrate and am happy for the weight lost, I also realise that I need to work on my fitness levels and I need to tone up. Currently one can almost see where fat has fallen away and no muscle have replaced it or jumped up and then there are other lumps of fat that still remain.
*sigh*
It has been a hard winter… long…. And cold….. but there are signs everywhere that buds are pushing out, greenery will come soon and spring is on our door steps!
This spring, I will dedicate at least 30 minutes in the mornings to yoga and I am committed to carry this through into the summer and I am hoping into the next winter to come brrrrr – don’t even want to think about next winter, but I have to exercise more!
So, you ask, what else have you been doing? My reply is simple: Discipline, dedication – I found something that worked for me and I just kept on doing it.
Lots of raw fruit and veg up until 15:00 weekdays. Healthy cooked meals at night, weekdays. Moderation above all things and little junk food every now and again to keep me normal – whatever that word normal means.
So if you’re thinking about doing it. Stop thinking and rather make a decision to either take that step or to continue thinking about it until you are ready. There is no fence sitting and no easy way out. Weight loss is hard work, commitment and dedication.
