My weight loss journey

I have officially promised myself that i will take myself seriously this time. No more procrastinating on losing weight as it is detrimental to my self esteem and my health. So i have officially started my journey on 28th July 2011 at 4pm. i had satisfied myself with my ultimate favourite food of Kuay Teow goreng and local coffee from Hainan cafe in Plaza Mont Kiara...so bye bye favourite food..i will see you again when i know i deserve you...*sob* *sob*

The reason why i'm basically embarassing myself by putting this online is i need a sense of accountability. Now i am accountable to no one but myself so i can do whatever i want, whenever i want. Sounds like our malaysian politics eh.....

I drink my 300 calories coffee everyday, sometimes 2 cups a day. i have good big american breakfast almost everyday, and my lunch consist of mostly fried noodles/kuay teow/ bihun/ nasi goreng. and my dinner is mostly fried maggie mee with teh tarik from the cafe down my condo. so i basically indulge in whatever i want. when i really go overboard, then i feel guilty and race to the gym after work and work out with a vengeance...sometimes up to 3 hours per session. then i feel really good about myself, and allow that yummy chocolate flakes to pass through my lips, or that ice cold ais kacang with extra corn and peanuts to quench my throat....and my 3 hours workout was just done so that i can offset the calories from my indulgence.

So yeah, i am officially putting a stop to this. i have reactivated my membership at the calorie counting website, www.myfitnesspal.com - http://www.myfitnesspal.com/account/my_goals and will post what works and what doesn't. i am also going to read Tom Venuto's book, Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle to get a better idea on how to lose weight properly and healthier.

Current weight : 69kg
Desired weight : 54kg
Weight to lose : 15kg
Duration : 6 months @ 2.5kg per month

So, the big picture here is :-
1. Eat healthy
2. Exercise

The plan is :-
1. Stock up on healthy foods such as yogurts, oatmeal, milk, nuts, fruits, eggs, tuna in water, wholewheat bread, raw veggies both at home and in the office and on my table.
2. Workout at least 5 times a week
3. Dance / Yoga or pilates classes

I don't want to procrastinate anymore so i am starting today evening by just having fruits for dinner. Hope i survive :)

Until next time
