Another two weeks of weight loss

Nope.. no progress, i am afraid. In fact, the weight is up. Grrrrr...

That means, I have to cut down further my calorie intake. At this moment, I am averaging about 1500-2000kcal, and walk an average of 4 miles per day, on top of about 1/2 hour of yoga and my rowing machine work.

That basically means a lot more work to do. I have to increase it to 5 miles now. Luckily it is summer and if the weather is good, it is not too difficult. 1 mile to work, 1 mile to walk home (short route), 2 miles (longer route), and now this is the important part:

how to increase my lunch time walk from 1 mile to 2?
1) walk faster
2) take longer lunch!

And I have to make sure i lose weight because:
1) a sweet man offered me his seat (thinking I was pregnant)
2) i want nice cheap clothes!
3) those designers dont do size XXXL sizes anyway
4) Being fat put me at risk of having venous insufficiency, ie poor blood flow in my legs. That inturn expose me to varicose veins.
5) I have never worn a bikini and I wanna wear one.

with these 5 vain reasons.. I might have stronger will power!

Maintaing the 2kg weight loss

I have been consistently 85 kg, since a few weeks ago. Hope that it STAYS! I have had a lot of "bouncing" back problems since my weight loss efforts started in February. From the day I started my weigh loss efforts, to now, it is more than 3 months. I have lost taa daaa....

2 kg.

Nono, that does not sound like a lot at all. In fact, weight loss was more obvious at first, when I made myself sticking to a more stringent diet, of no more than 1500 kcal per day. Sure, I did lose weight fast, but it also bounced back quickly.

Now, I am conscious about how much I eat everyday, but still ate what I wanted. Whenever, possible, I eat those low GI food. Konyaku noodles come to my rescue as carb substitute whenever I ate too much. I will find about more about Konyaku noodles and write it here.

Failure or success?

Months after kicking off my diet, my current weight is 85 kg.

Frankly, I saw no difference in the way I look, or feel for that matter. 1 month through my diet, I actually had a scanty period without taking anything to induce it. Unfortunately, I had found counting the calories really depressing, and took a break from it when I got busy with work. Even when I still to high GI food, the dip in sugar late morning and late afternoon was just too difficult to manage.

Now, I allow myself the occasional biscuit at work. I also have a pack of Weetabix mini to keep me going. I have forced myself to walk a lot. At least 2 miles a day, 5 x per week. Light lunch, or light dinner. I ate what I wanted, but tried to keep it to mostly vege and soups. Rising food prices is a good reason to eat less.

I am glad I wrote about it. At least, I know I have lost 2kg. Small step, but it is still a step!!

Now, how does Victoria Beckham stay stick thin? Come on Mrs Beckham, tell us!! Does she eat? Does she drink anything other than expensive bottled water?
