NOT-SO-VITAL STATISTICS

I posted the entry below on Jul 7, '06 6:22 AM.

After 1 year, 1 month, and 20 days, I'm proud to say that I've finally achieved my ideal weight (operative word = "my"). Still working on the "statistics" though. Hahahaa.

What did I do?

- went to Singapore, hence, I stopped eating with BF (so hindi ko na sya sinasabayan)

- nakakatamad magluto for 1 person, so di na rin ako masyadong nagluluto (at kumakain) sa house ngayon

- commute and walk to work/home carrying 2 kilos-worth of laptop and kikay stuff for approx 2 hours a day

- less rice & carbs

- fruit or salad (no mayo) for dinner

- normal meal for lunch

- 1 piece of toast, with minimal spread, and 1 cup of non-fat milk for breakfast

Surprising results. And I didn't have to give up my once-a-month Ruffles and dark chocolate craving.

So kung gusto nyong pumayat, pumunta na rin kayong Singapore. Hahahaha!

NOT-SO-VITAL STATISTICS

I have gained soooooooo much weight. I'm bursting out of my jeans, shirts, undies, and what-have-you. And i refuse to shop for new clothes as it will not motivate me to force myself to fit into my now-tight wardrobe. I need the motivation. I need to lose weight. FAST.

So, starting this week, I tried a modified South Beach-Oprah diet: less carbs/starches and more lean meat, fish, and veggies. I'm mortified to be without fruits, so I still eat fruits daily. My current favorite is half-pineapple sprinkled with a little salt.

Also starting this week, I did at least 30-minute cardio exercises everyday. I only rested last Thursday. But I walked from the office all the way home, which is a 30-minute walk, so I guess that counted.

I've also made a promise to myself that my measurements would go down. So here's the baseline (never mind that the whole cyberworld will be privy to such private details. Nonetheless, like I said, I need the motivation. This shall keep me in line:

Left Right
Upper Arm 11 " 11" ----------> problem area!!!
Lower Arm 9.5" 9.5"
Upper Thighs 21" 21.5" ---------> problem area!!!
Lower Thighs 17.5" 17.5"
Calves 13.4" 13"

Waist 27"
Navel 30"
Lower Abdomen 33.2" -----------> problem area!!!!
Hips/Ass 35.5"

Weight 120 lbs ---------> problem area!!!


Inches were added to practically every part of my body. Except my frigging boobs. Oh well, they're God's gifts, so might as well be happy.

Will be checking next week if there is any progress. If none, I'll be forced to resort to appetite-reducing-metabolism-accelerator pills. I swear.

I am a woman with a mission.
