Monday 27 August - Week Preceding September Challenge!

Weight: 57.9kg

Weight loss approach: No counting calories this week! Just eating LOTS of fresh fruit and vegies. I am eating oatmeal for brekkie with honey. Snacking on fruit throughout the day, a salad sandwich for lunch, and eating a small portion of what my mum makes for dinner.
Exercise:I am exercising for at least 60 minutes a day. Most of the time it is just walking with hills. I am aiming to do four cardio sessions this week and 2 swims!

Weight Goal for 3rd September: 57.0kg

Weight loss approach: 1000 to 1500 calories a day. Basically avoid the massive fruit-binges I tend to have.

Exercise: Go with the flow... I like running so it's a question of resting when my body's tired.

Weight Goal for 3rd September: 62 kg.

BTW Loveat, you're at my ideal BMI

Smile FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT..The objective of FOCUS.

Okay, here's my plan preceding September Challenge:

I will continue to workout in the morning for 30 to 60 minutes on treadmill including upper body exercise for my flabby arms.

I will eat small meals every 2 hours as possible. Meals will be about 250 calories each give or take a few. But, no more than 1500 calories daily. The challenge is to stick to the schedule of 9am, 11am, 1pm, 3pm, 5pm, and 7pm. I know this speeds up the metabolism when done correctly. I will start implementing the eating times tomorrow.

Also, drink plenty of water and take vitamins.

Aim for 8 hours of sleep if possible.

Believe in self and encourage others. And, above all FOCUS: Follow One Course Until Successful.

So far today I've had:

1 small bowl of watermelon

3 mini muffins (my homemade concoction..) But, it taste great..

About 40 ozs of water and a mug of spearmint/peppermint tea.

For Lunch:

2 ozs of Salmon
1 cup of string beans
1 cup of garden salad with sprinkles of Parmesan Cheese

I don't know what else I will have today outside of another helping of fruit, and salad.

I exercised on the treadmill for 31.23 minutes.

I didn't weigh in this morning so I will have to do it tomorrow. I don't want to be discourage for it close to that time of month. And, I know I am retaining water.

You all are doing so well, keep up the great work.
