Round 1 Day 1!

Technically, yesterday was supposed to be “Day One” of my weightloss journey but I had KFC and washed it down with a coke, not even the sugar free or less sugar option 🤦🏽‍♀️ I know I know stop judginging, I apologised to myself and I’ve accepted the apology. I was really really craving it and if I didn’t have it at the beginning, I would have succumb somewhere in the middle and I think that the latter is far worse right? I would have sabotaged the progress so right now is the best time! lol. Weird but true right…? Anyway, I’m tired of saying “One Day” so today is really “Day One”!

I have it all planned out remember? I’m doing 3x 21 days ‘thingy’ that I elaborated on in another post ( sorry I haven’t figured out how to link posts yet) so I’ll update on the progress ( hopefully it’s just progress regardless of how small😩 ) on day 1, 7, 14, 21 for each round.

I’m honestly fucking tired of this fat. Is it even normal to sweat and be out of breath just getting out the bathtub?? Ok I’ve seen it on Dr Now- My 600lb life and I’m definitely applying for it if I procrastinate even one more day! SO??? How sure am I that it’s going to happen today? I hear myself ask, lol, because well dear self, you hit the streets this morning. Well fucking done self! My wonderful readers, I am NOT a morning person, I do not even talk in the mornings and people who even dare look in my direction before 9am know this too well. I snoozed ALL my life, on average 3 times! I once skipped a morning shower to sleep a little longer and this other time ( way more often than I’d like to admit, I left my bed unmade!

So for MEEEEEEEE at 33, to learn new tricks, amazing! Amazing baby!

Ok so yesterday before the KFC devil attacked me, I weighed 69.1kg, I’m very short, I’m 1.53m. So basically I’m obese at this point. I’m not too deep or obsessed with all the weight technical technicalities hence my weight and height are the only numbers I know. I didn’t calculate my BMI or body fat what what, I just know I do not look good. My goal is to lose 15kg and keep it off!!!!! So this morning I weighed 70.1kg, thanks KCF!

So I’ve smashed the first goal for today and that was to go running before work, I have to wake up when my alarm first rings because if I snooze, it’s game over, I should have know I’d fail yesterday when I snoozed, anyway today is a new beautiful day, So I got up early on the first alarm ring ⏰, then I ran 🏃🏽‍♀️ (probably my shortest distance and slowest but you know it counts…), came back and drank ACV 🤢 ( don’t ask me, I’ve heard it works for weight loss. I took a bath AND did my bed!!!! Left for work with a bottle of water, I’m hoping to have 2 litres a day, I’ve only had 500ml I have a packed lunch ( fish and avo) which I’ll eat between 10am and 2pm, I’ve decided on this open window because it’s not too early that I’ll starve in the day or too late that I sleep with the consumed calories. This way I eat and work it off as the day unfolds. I have my gym bag packed too for after work!

If I don’t lose the planned 5kg in the first 21 days ( I think I’m really not asking for a lot here by the way…) then I’m blaming witchcraft and black magic and some voodoo shit. Then I drop all morals and sleep with a rich old man for the sake of liposucton money!

I’m determined to win. In all aspects! All of 2021!

Since some of you are scared to say it, I’ll go first, 2021 IS MY YEAR!

I’m Trying / Losing It Again…

For the last time…. Honestly. I’m going to try and lose weight and get fit and in shape ( I know technically round is a shape too) for the last time, more than this, I’m fighting the will of God. I know it sounds like a threat but it isn’t. I have a plan to drop the alcohol, I told my sister this and she said ‘ your friend doesn’t drink alcohol but she’s fighting weight battles too’ well sis… I have no comeback for that. lol! I have an idea to drop the carbs and seriously intermittent fast for 20:4. That’s the plan roughly. Ok I’m going to lay it out in bullet form so that anyone who wants to try with me has clear direction or if any of the health experts has a suggestion, they can say ‘bullet 1 and 3 is crap’, I’m open to any reasonable free advice. Here we go…

1. No more alcohol, juice, fizzy drinks, not even ‘sugar free’ ones – basically just water. No flavoured water either.
2. No more snacking, no potato chips, chocolate, fudge – basically none of that ‘on the way/ on the couch’ shit.
3. No sugar! My biggest consumption is in coffee so none of that!
4. Strictly intermittent fasting! 20:4 – haven’t decided when my open window will be though.
5. No takeouts – I don’t know how I’ll cook on the daily but hey…
6. No less than 3 times a week at the gym – I’m big on cardio but it’s not changing my body, I need to lift, A BIT.

Ok that’s the plan! I plan on starting on the 4th of January 2021. I know society likes to pressure people to do everything in ‘ 90 days’. There are so many 90-day phrases #90 Day Rule, #90 Days No Sugar, #90Days Fiance LOL! But I know myself, that’s a recipe for disaster. I’m going to do 3 x 21 days! I’m good at math and know that doesn’t equal to 90 days but it’s still about 3 months so humour me. I’m taking it in tiny bits. They do say that it takes 21 days to form a habit so…. Let’s see how I do. I like bite sizes of everything… that’s how I ended up in this predicament, because of bite sizes that finishes a whole cake! Woosah! I’m going to report progress on a weekly basis via a blog post.

I honestly know I look hot, I am very sexy BUUUUUT, only when dressed up, spanx and all, I just want to look good naked. When I went away for my birthday I had a swimsuit cover up all the time! I’m not completely comfortable in my skin or is it jeans… I refuse to buy bigger clothes and my size 8 jeans are super tight now…. I’m tired of sucking it in and finding angles for my pictures. I’m going to get to a comfortable shape, I’ve done it before, I can do it again, no, I WILL do it again.

Wish me luck!
