Hi! Just at quick one to say that my weighing scale decided to be kind to me this morning. 83.6 kgs. Only yesterday it showed 84.7. I read somewhere that in order to one kilogram of weight, one needs to create a calorie deficit of 2000 cals. Wow. That may be the equivalent of running for like two hours. I did not run a marathon. Neither did I totally starve myself for a day. I have been a good girl, you know. And the weighing scale finally decided to acknowledge. Yay! For me.
Ok I know there’s not like a million people following my blog. Or even a millionth of that figure. But the reason I’m writing my weight loss story here is that, I found so few, or almost no Indian weight loss blog accounting the journey of one person. On the other hand, there are so many Americans/Europeans/Aussies etc pouring their story on the web, as is reflected by the few that I’ve blog rolled on the side bar. Why? I wonder. May be its taboo to write about something so personal as weight loss on the web? Or may be I’m just a genius. Duh. No. Just kidding. Anyway, the reason I’m doing this is that:
1. It makes me feel more accountable
2. It feels great when I type out text that screams: ”I’ve lost weight!”
3. Even if one person in the whole of this country reads this, and thinks that there is someone out there with her/him, I will feel good about that.
4. I have attention deficiency disorder. And this is written proof.
Ok. The last one was a joke. Forgive me. But seriously, do you think what I’m doing is ok? Like not criminal? Lemme know.
I will be running a few half marathons next year and i maintain an excel sheet of the distance covered everyday.Every week it is all about stretching the limit say a km more.I can understand the importance of these posts for you.I guess it keeps you motivated.Well ,attention deficiency is a nice term will use it in writing ;)
ReplyDeleteReally? A half marathon? That must be serious work. Are you training on your own? Or doing a class/ have a guide?
ReplyDeleteYep writing is my first love. whether or not I'm good at it. It always gives me clarity, which is what I need in this journey to weight loss.
I ran one this March and mostly all the training material is online.Personally i feel happy only after stretching myself beyond the limits.
