Write your current weight. Have you lost anything in the past week? If not, what are your plans for this week?
I gained a pound *sighs*. I know it’s just a pound and I lost a lot allready but I also feel all wobbly and puffed up.
I need to sleep more and I need to move more. Especially the sleeping part has been BAD the whole last week.
Have you ever „fasted“? What was the reason for it?
No, but I am thinking about trying it. Only for a day to break the plateau I am on right now. To give my body a new impuls.
Do you take your meals from home to work? If so, what do you usually prepare?
At the moment I am jobless but I will prepare some food for work as soon as I have a new job. Most probably I’ll bring some veggies and fruits and lots of water!
Are you on a diet or are you making this a lifestyle?
Lifestyle. Diets just don’t work for me and I wouldn’t want to miss workout ever again. I enjoy it way too much.
Try a new fruit today. Learn how to cut/eat it and enjoy! How was it?
It’s passionfruit. Well, it’s not completly new to me but I just ate it once before. I just love it’s taste in a fruit salad :)
What are your favorite workout clothes you own?
I normally wear black. I read a lot about girls who wear black for the fat that’s dying and stuff like that… I am just not confident enough for colorful workout clothes. So at the gym I wear lose black clothes. When I workout at home I might just wear my underwear :D
Are you a vegan or a vegetarian?
Never have been, never will be. I love meat way to much. I can easily have some veggie-days but when I see a really good steak or some chicken or tuna you can’t hold me back ;)
Write your current weight. Have you lost anything in the past week? If not, what are your plans for this week?
My weight today was 106.8 kg (235 lbs). It’s 1 lbs less then last week. It’s okay, since we started going to the gym and I hopefully gained a little muscle.
But next week I’ll have to eat cleaner. I cheated a lot and my stomache hated it. Looking forward to more veggies and especially more fruits!
Today you will try a new smoothie. Find a new healthy recipe online and mix & match fruits and veggies and enjoy! But it must be totally new and adventurous!
That’s perfect today. I’ll see what I can get for that smoothie :D
How much water do you usually drink in a day?
I drink about 2-3 liters every day. Not everything is water but I am working on drinking more water and less other stuff. It’s still very hard. I mostly drink volvic with taste… this is the best compromise I can make at the moment.
Write your current weight. Have you lost anything in the past week? If not, what are your plans for this week?
I lost 0.2 kg (0.44 lbs) this week. Since I gained more than 1 kg at the beginning I am happy that I still lost a little.
BUT today my total weight loss is at 9 kg (19.84 lbs) so I am absolutly not sad that I didn’t lose as much as in the last weeks. Maybe next week I will be able to say I hit the 10 kg border :D
My plans for next week: Eat cleaner, more fruits, more gym!
Who is your biggest weight loss inspiration and why?
There are so many people that are amazingly inspiring. Everyone I follow is a big inspiration. Some of them struggle a lot and show me how hard it is to lose weight and it helps me that they don’t give up.. this gives me so much strength. Others have lost a lot of weight allready and this gives me an idea of what I COULD look like when I don’t give up.
The biggest inspiration might be the before and after pictures. I don’t think those girls looked ugly before and became soooo beautiful now. I have been overweight for … well… forever. I really can’t imagine that I actually can lose a lot of weight, especially when I reach a plateau again my mind just goes “oh, okay, that’s it. That’s everything you were able to lose. You’ll stay like that forever.”. That’s the point when I look at those pictures to show myself that I can do it. If they can do it, why shouldn’t I?
Are you losing weight the healthy (<2lbs/week) or the unhealthy (>2lbs/week) way?
The healthy way. There are good weeks when I lose 2 lbs a week, but most of the time it’s about 1 lb a week (well, if I’m not on a pleateu like now…).
Try to use as little salt as possible today or maybe even none! Don’t buy microwave meals and don’t eat foods high in sodium.
I never use a lot of salt so this will be pretty easy for me :D
Do you have a special event/date you want to lose the weight for?
My new years resolution was to loose 17.1 kg (37 lbs) this year. It took meuntil march to really get this thing started but I am still on a pretty good way. I lost 18.6 lbs in almost 3 month… so I guess it might really work out :)
