Heyyyyy!
This diary will be testament to my losing weight and gaining back self-confidence. It will not include pictures until I reach my After body. Simply because I'm a total wimp and refuse to expose my unsavoury body parts to the world. But welcome to my pictureless journal
Who am I, you ask? Well I shall answer with weight relevant facts.
-I was a fat kid. Case in point, I was called lyn lyn (asian parents always seem to think that doubling your name is appropriate when youre dbl your size). I have struggled with my weight throughout my teenage years.
-I have little to no drive in forcing myself to eat healthy and exercise. But I'm trying to change that.
-I used to be a fairly confident girl. But sometimes you slip, and this is my way of getting back up. I know that its more than just physical, but I want to start on the outside and work my way in.
-I am a petite filipino girl, 19, currently 109 lbs, and 5'1. I will be turning 20 soon...golllly.
-I think I have a small frame. I have small wrists if thats any indication of the size of one's skeletal structure
-And, just for fun, I am an absolute FIEND for sashimi. Don't know what that is? Try it before googling what it is.
Now down to the dirty dirty.
1. How much weight do you want to lose?
Currently at 109, my ideal weight is 103. So 6 lbs. Which may sound minimal but I've been trying for a YEAR! My weight isn't all that important though. I want to be thin and toned. Everything on me jiggles when I walk (thick thighs, flabby arms, pudgy tummy, pudgy waist).
2. What is the time frame for reaching your target weight?
Hopefully the weight by June, and I would really like to be toned by early July. That would be super nice.
3. How do you want to accomplish your goal (what methods do you want to use)?
i) WATER!!!!!! I'm strange. My thirst is easily satiated with just a couple sips. I'm trying to get in the daily amount I need.
ii) Scheduled meals. I gave up on the small snacks every 3 hours, as I always opted for the sugary shtuff. So big breakfast in the morning with fruits and fiber. Medium lunch with lotsa protein. Small dinner ( I LOOOVE the chicken salads I make now. So salad for dinner.)
iii) Cut out the starches and sugar GRADUALLY. One cheat day a week though, of course.
iv) 15 mins cardio daily, along with strength training (diff muscles groups worked out, so yes, I am alternating). Increasing by 5 mins every other week.
v) As previously mentioned, I have no will power. Hopefully this journal keeps me interested in what I'm doing, and confident that I can reach my goal.
4. Who or what can support you in reaching your goal?
My boyfriend is extremely supportive as he's a total gym rat. My friends are all super healthy, and its encouraged me to be healthy as well. I keep a folder of pictures of ideal body shapes for inspiration on my computer.
5.How realistic is your goal?
103 lbs is quite low, but it is the ideal weight for me, whether you approve or disapprove. But given the fact that my overall goal is to tone and get my body back in order, it is doable as there are no silly numbers to live by OH! and I want a butt. Not a kardashian booty, a nice perky one that doesnt look like an extension of my back -_-''
6. When will you start?
I started on February 7th. Then I had two weeks off, to relax from school. And guess who's the still the same weight/size. So today is the day that I get back on point.
This was super long, so my apologies. Whether or not anyone ends up reading this doesnt matter to me, but hopefully I can give someone with similar goals some hope/good info. I will try to be consistent in writing at least once a week, in which time, I'll be happy to reply to comments (if any). I'll give a quick rundown each Sunday of my cheater days during the week, and any improvements noticed. Cheers!
