Before and After
Just to get me into the groove of exercising, I decided to watch some youtube videos of people’s progress. I get inspiration in looking at their before and after pictures. Those are amazing transformations and I hope one day I will be the one showing off mine. It will take a lot of hard work and discipline to achieve the results they got. I only did a 20 minute workout today and I’m already catching my breath. It goes to show that I’m out-of-shape. I lost about 2-3 pounds last month and I want to lose more this month. I might need to add supplements and diet pills to help me out.
Food and Weight Loss
I have had several experience when it comes to dieting for weight loss. Most of it involves starving myself and of course that never works long term. I did a quick research online for food that can serve as natural fat burners. I’m not sure if they are 100% effective but I want to try them out and see if it will work. So, here’s a couple of food that might aid in weight loss:
- Citrus fruits
Citrus fruits or simply fruits rich in vitamin C like grapefruit, tangerines and oranges can help burn fat. Vitamin C helps in oxidation of fat thus helping in weight loss. - Apples and Pears
Both fruits are good sources of fiber. Fiber reduces cholesterol and control fat absorption. Also, apples and pears are quite filling which helps control overeating. - Nuts
This is a good solution for constant hunger pangs. It is considered a better alternative to other snacks like chips and cookies. They are high in fat so portion control is advised. Some nuts contain omega-3 fatty acids that helps fight heart disease. - Dark Chocolate
I’m not big in sweets so its easy for me to avoid chocolates in the store. However, it seems that dark chocolate aids in weight loss because of its antioxidant properties.
Something Fishy
For more than a week now, I have become a pesco-vegetarian by chance. I have not been eating any pork, chicken or beef but just vegetables and fish. I’m currently experimenting if this will improve my digestive system since I often suffer stomach problems. From time to time, I still give in to my sweet tooth by eating a little bit of chocolate and today vanilla ice cream. I don’t know how long I will keep up with it but I’m determined to lose weight. I have been exercising every day too so I hope that will help as well.
All You Can Eat
I hope we can go to my in-laws this end of November. I’m really looking forward to the Thanksgiving feast. We just talked about the other day what she will be cooking. It made me really hungry. I’m looking forward in eating turkey, stuffing, sweet potato, pies and cheese cake. That will make me forget all about dieting and exercise. Definitely, I will think about being healthy and taking diet supplements again when January comes with the formidable new years resolution.
Battle of the Bulge
It is quite a rainy wednesday although the temperature is not as cold as it has been for the past week. It is always so tempting to crawl back to bed and continue sleeping or just lay there and read a good book. Which ever one it is, it makes me miss my exercise routine. I prefer excercising early in the morning because I get too lazy if I do it in the afternoon. I don’t have the luxury to do weight loss tampa style. So far my diet which involves not eating simple carbs has been very effective but if I want to lose more, I got to stick to the exercise part as well.
