Health Update: I Lose Weight!! ^^
This is my update blog to:
This will explain my backstory to my current diet or "lifestyle" >.<
Yesterday I weighed myself and... I lost a little bit of weight!! 5 pounds (2 kg) to be exact. I'm gonna be honest and say I was a bit scared to do it. I didn't want to put all this effort in and my body didn't change at all. I waited about 10 days before stepping on the scale to give my body time to sort itself out and it worked ^_^
My plan was/is to walk/jogging 3 miles a day. I was following that diligently. I even did more depending on how I felt. If I didn't walk that day I made sure to do some sort of exercise. A couple of the days I went bike riding~ School is back in session so I am planning to walk after school and on the weekends. It's been very hot the past couples days so I haven't done any exercise which worries me a bit. I don't want to lose my conviction this early on, however the weather is supposed to be cooler tomorrow so I'll start back up then. When winter comes I'll have to figure something out to burn calories.
As for my diet... I cheated a bit. I was supposed to cut out ALL fried and fast food. I didn't. But I definitely cut back ALOT. In the span of 2 weeks I ate less fastfood and unhealthy food than I ever have in my life. I am so proud of myself T_T My mom is even being more considerate by buying less snacks and cooking at home more. I've been counting calories which stops me from eating junk food. I mean, why eat 1 cupcake for 300+ calories when I can have an apple for 50 calories?? I make sure not to exceed 2,000 calories a day. I am eating more fruit and veggies and drinking more water. I make sure to have some kind of salad with dinner. I'm still working on portion control. Sometimes I get too full and I end up feeling bloated and get heartburn.
If I lose 10 pounds (4kg) then I'll be officially and securely out of the obese category. If I keep this up I'll reach it in about a month or so. I can do this!!
I'm currently looking for vegetarian/vegan recipes online to make. I'm not thinking of converting, but having healthy, low cal meals a couples times will only help me in the long run.
Will make another update soon!
FIGHTING!! <3
And thanks for all the support I got on my last post. It was really motivating :)
