Since last Thursday I have been battling the beginning signs of a flu. I took vitamin C like crazy but its finally taken me down. So no exercise for the next few days. I must give my body time to recover or I will just prolong the flu. I have a feeling that maybe I pushed myself too hard with gym and working out all of a sudden and my body said..."uh no you don't!" and gave into the flu. My weigh in day is Friday (a month since I came off steroids for asthma and started eating more healthily and exercising). I'm confident that I must have lost AT LEAST 1 pound! We shall see!
p.s: Yesterday I cheated a little by going over my calorie in take by 12% - It was chex mix and a beer that sent me over. But Since I started almost a month ago this was my first time really going over. I actually don't feel guilty because I did not go too overboard - back on track this week as usual :)

Well here I am again. I actually did not fall off the wagon per say...but battling some health issues for over 2 months. My asthma acted up really badly and I was put on steroids...and I gained weight. Fat. I lost muscle and gained fat. I was not able to exercise for the duration of my treatment. At first I couldn't climb the stairs without being out of breath. Not being able to move around as I wanted got me depressed and yes, I started eating badly. But onto good news, I believe I have made a full recovery and I'm back with a bang.
What I have been eating and how:
Since October 14th I cut out all white flour and rice or if I am in a squeeze and there is nothing else to eat I will have a very small portion. I cut out everything fried - even bacon! No fast food of any kind. No desserts - no sugar (no juice or soda). I eat brown bread, brown pasta, quinoa and sweet potatoes for carbs...in small amounts, Meats are chicken and lean beef. I'm not a big fan of fish so maybe once a week. Eating more veggies and generally have cut down on portion size. Drinking a lot more water has helped curbed my hunger. I realise half the time I feel hungry - its actually just thirst. So I have cleaned up my eating a whole lot. I didnt realise how much crap I was eating before because I just wasnt taking stock of what I was eating. A sip of coke here and there...just one burger and fries a week...just dessert today...and so many things are fried...everything at the movies, most fast food. I was making bad choices here and there but they added up. I just have to be more aware of what I'm eating. Think before it goes in my mouth. Its actually not that hard once you start doing it and the key I found is not to allow yourself to get too hungry. Eat on time - or else you will get ravenous and want to eat anything...and lots of it, which is very counter productive.
What I have being Doing:
I started training again last week. I decided to change up my routine..and by change up I mean AMP IT UP! I am aiming for exercise 6 days a week. 4 out of those 6 days I wake up early to get a morning cardio session in. Before I do this I have a small piece of fruit or a piece of protein bar. I get a half hour of HIIT in on the treadmill or bike. After my workout I have a proper breakfast...usually a cup of coffee or green tea, a poached egg and spinach, an omelette with no cheese or some tuna sauteed up with onions and tomato and always with a slice of brown bread. I am also putting in some yoga, weight training 2-3 times a week, brisk outdoor walking and sport (badminton)
Monadys: Morning cardio and evenings are dedicated to power yoga
Tuesdays: Morning cardio and evenings weight training followed by badminton
Wednesdays: Morning cardio and evening badminton/walking (recover from weights)
Thursdays: Evening weights and/or walking
Fridays: Morning cardio and evening badminton or walking
Saturday: Afternoon weight training
Sunday: REST
As you can see I'm focusing more on the cardio element but I'm not forgetting to keep my muscles in shape with the weights. All about balance.
So far this routine is amazingly fun and I look forward to each day. I try to stick to my schedule as closely as possible.
Anyway its good to be back :)

Gaining 0.0 kg a Week
27 June 2014
Hello...so its been a while. My scale is broken, so I can not weigh! I feel like this is a sort of relief. So over the next few weeks I will use my tape measure instead of the scale. It will also stop me from stressing so much!
This week I took my time to prep meals - steamed veg and chicken breasts all cooked in bulk. Been eating fruits that are in season here - mangoes, cherries and anxiously awaiting avocado season to start! When I feel to cheat or have something sweet - I will have a spoonfull of ice cream instead of a bowl full - and then Im ok! Learning about this moderation thing :)
