This week I had another major cheat day(s). March 1st is my parents’ wedding anniversary and our family decided to go on a short trip. It has been such a long time our family ever went on a trip all together so I wanted to just relax and have a good time. Weightloss is important; however, I want to cherish the moments that I can spend with my family. We had such a good time. Eating good food, having a nice bath & spa, talking over and over, walking slowly in the woods… I even tried paragliding with my brother! We had such a good time and it was so worth it. After the trip, I went to the gym and measured my weight. I gained 2kg (approx 4.5 lbs) which is quite a lot. However, I wasn’t sad or dissapointed that much; I felt more determined to control myself a little more strict so that I can reach my goal of weightloss. Fortunately, eventhough I ate a lot than usual during the trip, my body didn’t feel that heavy so it was easy for me to go back to my workout routine. Last week, I was so upset that I couldn’t control myself after a cheatmeal. Now, I found a solution for this problem. I don’t know if this will work in a long-term, but it has been working for me for the past 3 days. Here is what I do: 1. Set a strict goal for the month I want to wear jeans on my first day of senior trip. Right now, the jeans that I have don’t fit on my legs. However, I set my goals to wear those jeans at March 26th. I made a goal to reach 58kg (approx 128 lbs) before the senior trip. For the past weeks, I lost 10kg (approx 22 lbs) and now I need to lose 7kg (approx 15lbs) more. It will be very tough but my prior success of losing 10kg makes me confident that I can do it. I feel very motivated. 2. Make a non-fatty dessert for yourself I have a lot of trouble with portion control. I always overeat and I sometimes forget the feeling of having a full stomache. To prevent this problem, I decided to make a non-fatty dessert for me. After a meal, I eat a slight dessert to let my body know that it is time to finish eating. A dessert is like an end course of a meal so eventhough I want to eat more, a dessert allows me to finish my meal. For dessert, I eat 2 ½ ~ 3 tablespoon of 0% sugar yogurt with some dark chocolate and granola for toppings. This is helping me A LOT to prevent overeating and the dessert taste so good, too! The more I continue this weightloss routine, I find myself finding my own healthy tips to fix common problems. Not only that, I started to discipline myself more often. As you can see in the weekly workout record, I didn’t do any workout for 4 days (which is alot). However, I felt guilty about it and worked out even harder on all the other days and controlled my meal portions harsher. To me, this process of working out and controlling my portions isn’t that much painful. Instead, I feel more motivated and mature throughout the process. ...I should have done this earlier! This is my workout record for this week This is my workout plan for next week
