Day: 8 (started late)
okay sorry I did not check in earlier… actually i am not fully using the template cz it asks you to note down everything eaten. Which is what I am trying to avoid doing due to this new weight loss strategy. It’s called ‘think like a thin person’ and so far it seems to be working so I’ll be sticking to it for a while.
Workout: I started walking from 10 mins and slowly increased the time and now i’ll be doing 30 mins from today.
Bonnie’s belly workout routine (10 minutes)
Plank (can only hold for 4 seconds :bummer:)

Other than that green tea at the end of the day and I try to stay active while i’m awake. Junk food like pizza or mcdonalds only once a week.
I’ve lost 2 kgs… but I can’t be too happy cuz maybe it’s just the water weight or the few extra kgs I gained only recently… but will keep posting :slight_smile:

PS: :eek: wow BBc … hardcore :k:

Re: == GSHC - Project Weight Loss ==

Pakwoman, is it? :bummer: I keep thinking I’m still going easy on myself! I’m happy with what I’m eating, don’t feel hungry, haven’t had migraines, system feels clear… but in terms of workout, I am not really enjoying that, t’is painful!

**Day: **11
**Breakfast: **8 AM. Porridge with apple and half a biscuit of wheetabix.
**Snack: **Got busy and didn’t eat/drink again until 1 PM. A packet of popcorn and a pear.
**Lunch: **After workout at 4:30 PM. One roti, salan and salad.
**Snack: **Don’t feel hungry after eating roti etc. in the evening so I end the day with green tea and biscuits (tryina look for healthier snacks than just biscuits). 7:30 PM.
**Workout: **20 min cycling. 15 min lower body workout. Need to increase the reps as well as the cardio intensity. InshaAllah from next week onwards.

I have purposely not updated this journal since day 11 because I was experimenting with my diet and exercise routine to see which one suits me best and also because the last few days have been very hectic and my timings were pretty messed up. Eating a humongous breakfast isn’t my thing because (a) I feel sick if I eat so much in the morning and (b) I get hungry at night. I must have a large meal in the afternoon (lunch) so that I don’t overeat towards the evening. Also, I have split cardio and other workouts. I now do cardio when I wake up and 2 sets of upper or lower body workouts later in the day. This routine suits me well.

**Day: **17
**Meal 1: **After 20 min brisk walking. Porridge and banana.
**Meal 2: **3 hours and 2 sets of arms/abs workout later. Veg omlette (made with 2 eggs) and some lettuce. An orange.
**Meal 3: **3 hours later. Tea with 2 cookies. One cookie has 56 calories and one digestive biscuit has 61 calories, that doesn’t mean cookies are better, does it?

ummm I hope this isn't meant to be a "healthy weight loss regime" because it definitely doesn't sound like it is.
