MY WEIGHT LOSS
Now I started roughly a month or two before my formal and the last time i weighed myself before I started losing weight I was 48.5 kgs. I have since lost 5 kilos, now it isn't a lot but it was quite a nice change.
I was planning to lose more but my boobs have shrunk (AHH!) and I researched a lot about weight loss beforehand and during my journey. I have learnt that changing your diet is THE MOST important step you can make but of course exercising helps a lot as well.
I cut a lot of carbs and fat out of my diet. Here's what I changed:
- I switched to low fat milk and then to skim milk.
- I cut out white rice and bread and replaced that with wholemeal and multi-grain bread and rice
- I ate heeeeaps of vegetables including LOTS of salads
- I ate only 2 serves of fruit per day
- I cut out as much excess sugar as possible
- I rarely at meat! I ate white fish and chicken breasts and tuna only (no pork!)
- I ate a lot of tofu and drank as much soy milk as possible
What I usually ate per day:
- 1 - 2 salads with a low fat dressing and a source of protein (a small portion of either tuna or poached chicken breasts)
- 2 serves of vegetables (mostly carrot and dip (hummus)
- 3 cups of tea - 2 green tea + 1 black tea with a bit of chocolate or 2 biscuits
- 2 serves of fruit (usually a banana for the fibre)
- a snack - either 2 slices of crispbread or toast with vegemite or dried fruit
- LOTS OF WATER!
My exercise routine:
- 30 minute walk after dinner
- 30 - 45 minute cardio workout including sit ups, dips, 100 starjumps, 50 push ups and 50 squats
- an occasional 20-30 minute run in the park
I stopped exercising after my hsc (i was too lazy!) and I absolutely killed my diet when I went overseas but I'm trying to get back on track (even though I haven't even gained any weight after all that rice and fried crap)
