Weight loss has always been on my mind. Even so, I have not really taken a consistent step towards achieving it.
My best attempt so far, seems to be the months just before I took my wedding photos (hey, I gotta look smart right). Other than that, I seemingly have been stuck with this dad bode for years. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not worrying too much about how I look, but is more about how I feel.
As I got older, I can feel my body slowing down. Coupled up with the fact that I rarely exercise, I am definitely feeling the pinch. A few weeks ago, I went for a blood test just to get a feel of how my body’s condition it. As I suspected, my cholesterol is wayyyy above the baseline. This is the last straw.
I need to exercise.
But that’s easier said than done. I myself know, I will not have enough motivation to do so. Heck, I can’t even know what motivates me anymore. I really need to buck up myself. The thing I am definitely lacking is perseverence, consistency and commitment. Being the Gemini, the free spirit, staying doing mundane things for a long period of time, doesn’t sit well with me. I tend to want to explore, I like to see things. New things to learn.
This, will be my real test for perseverence.
I want to make a vow here. I want to lose my weight from 87kg to 78 kg, in 60 days. I really hope I can do it this time.
To start off, I will be doing planking and sit-up trainings at home. I managed to ask Tracy to join me, to keep me on my toes, and to hold me accountable every night to do the exercises.
And here is day 1.
