My major problem is that I start things and never finish…Whoa! Who does that? Anyway…I am committed to changing this problem I am going to start this personal blog about my "personal journey to a healthy lifestyle." This is something that I promise myself that I am going to keep writing about until I get to where I am going. So this is how we are going to do it… I am going to talk about how unbearably hard it is for me, the steps I am taking and my progress to date. I guess every one in life needs to set personal goals in all areas of their life. I want to start this blog as a guide to my personal goal or becoming healthy. Let me just start by saying that its not like I am over 200 pounds or anything like that. I just want to achieve a target weight of 115 - 120 pounds (not entirely sure what that is in kg), be very lean and fit (like being able to do 10Ks, half marathons and possibly a full marathon who knows…joke of the year - running a marathon was my 2010 resolution LMAO) and just not crave unhealthy foods like pizza, ice-cream, chocolates, burger & fries etc….gosh !!! I am so salivating now. Hopefully, 30 days from now I will no longer be salivating for those things I listed above. Oops I even forgot "movie lovers butter popcorn." :( I am sure by now you can tell that I absolutely L-O-V-E food. So my plan here is actually not to deprive myself of certain foods but to learn to eat the right things and in the right proportions. Occasionally, I will still eat the usual suspects but in very rare occassions. Oh…one more thing to add to the list…warm chocolate cake with vanilla bean ice cream. I have tried it all from the GM diet, to NO-carbs to Atkins. Omo, if there's a diet out there…your girl has done it. Then what ends up happening is that I lose the weight drastically and gain it all back and even more once I stop the crazy diet. So, even though I may talk about some crazy diets out there that I have heard about; you are definitely not going to find me advocating for anything that asks you to cut out a particular food group or something like "master cleanse."
So here's the plan…I will blog each day (or close enough) about what I am eating, how much activity I am trying to get in and just life in general. There's a fourth goal that I didn’t mention to you guys (my little secret) why I am embarking on this journey. Along the way you will probably find out.. But stick with me ladies & guys as we start this journey. And oh btw just to my weight loss goals in perspective, I weighed myself yesterday and I am fully balanced at 141 pounds (or is it 140 pounds). I wrote 140 on my fridge…let me be in denial there…HAHA! There's no talk about what I ate today o because today is the last day to eat silly and I know I am going to go to the movies tonight so that "movie lovers butter popcorn," I am having you tonight baby…toodles
