It's a lifestyle change!

Day 2! How is it going? I am so proud of myself because I worked out twice yesterday and burned a combined 875calories plus I ate 100% clean meals.

Breakfast- Plain Yogurt + Granola
Snack 1- 100cals of Pistachio nuts
Lunch- Brown rice + healthy vegetable soup made with Kale and without oil
Snack 2- 1 slice of honey dew melon
Dinner- Left over vegetable soup from lunch

Today's morning workout was also intense. I am in so much pain. Pleasurable pain I tell ya! My evening workout will be a 30 minutes brisk walk because tomorrow is weights training at bootcamp and I need my muscles relaxed tonight. Shout out to my workout partner Chiomz!

One thing I have learnt on my fitness journey is the fact that it is a lifestyle change. I lost 12kg between August and December last year and I hit a plateau. I think I must have gained 1 kg because although I worked out, I didn't really watch my meals. I saw myself going back to the unhealthy lifestyle and I recently came to the realization that I need to adapt to this new healthy lifestyle change. Yes I will have cravings, but they can be managed. I can indulge once in a while but in moderation.

This 6 weeks plan is for me to reset and kick up my weight loss a notch. I have 10kg to go and I am hoping I can achieve a significant loss by the end of 6 weeks. It is exciting to me. I have so many new yummy recipes to try and the adrenaline from working out keeps me going.

Remember, it is not a quick fix. It is a process with great progress. So Relax and have fun!

I am off to eat my lunch of wholewheat pasta in tomato sauce+shrimps.

Week 1: Meal Plan for 3rd March - 9th March

Week 1 is here, My #6WeeksToGoal Journey and like I promised, here is my meal plan for the week

Note that this is what I think will work for me. I have a very busy schedule so I can only afford to cook once a day which will be the lunch I take to work. So my breakfast, snack and dinner have been modified to easy meals with little or no cooking involved.

Feel free to substitute appropriate meals but remember, HEALTHY EATING is the goal. Control your portions no matter how 'healthy' your meal seems.

Keeping track of your meals is also very important to success. Check out my post on it here

Lastly, drink A LOT of water. Minimum of 3 Litres a day. Good luck and share your stories in the comments.

• Kale/Spinach

Hi guys,

I can't believe I have not blogged this year. That is changing now as I will be documenting my #6WeeksToGoal journey starting on Monday, 3rd March.

Plan-

1. Eat healthy and ensure I cook 90% of my meals. My weekly meal plan will be published here.

2. Workout 2 times a day, 6 times a week (make sure I get in at least 10 workouts a week)

3. After recording my start weight, do not weigh myself till the end of the 6 weeks challenge.

4. Ensure I post on this blog at least 2 times a week to stay accountable.
