I must admit I have been in the grey zone lately. Somedays, I wake up,do my stuff and feel good about where I have reached after all this hard work. Some days, I have moments of great self doubt, wonder whether the scale is moving at all and if ever I will lose all this extra baggage I am carrying. I think of crash dieting sometimes. But I know I cannot do it! Really, I cannot. Somedays I look at the round on my shoulders after all the body pump hours I've put in. Somedays, I cannot help but notice that my butt is far bigger than I'd like it to be. Some days, I pride in the halasana or the push up that I have become able to do. Some days, I am so embarassed that I have been on this final weight loss jounrey for over two years now and have not yet reached where I want to! I know I need some more discipline to shake the final kilos off. Half assing isn't working. I guess I need to get down to the real hard work!
I have only recently been able to stay off rice, considerably! I am starting to run again. There are quite a few running events I have lined up. That's the only way I'll actually run without feeling complacent. And this is my action plan, running apart:
- watch the rice, watch the rice, watch the rice!
- improve core strength - some planks please?
- journal (i have recently got back to journalling in a note book)
- first get under the 75 mark! smaller goals at a time?
I am planning a beach holiday in the last week of March! So do you think I'll be a lighter person by then? I really want to break out of this badly!
i think consistency is the key. if you stick to your plan even for 5 days a week i think u will reach your target by march.
ReplyDeletebut having said that, even I have been struggling with my plateau for quite some time now. so really I may not be the right person to give advice.
honestly, I think I have been consistent and with that effort, my weight seems to stay consistent too.. i guess I need to add some zing to actually get the scale moving!
DeleteSugar...I am sure you can reach it if you stick to the plan.
ReplyDeleteI would suggest doing different types of exercises instead of doing the same everyday. For example, running once, then maybe some core workouts on the next etc.However, currently I am struggling to loose 5 lbs since like forever now...so I might be wrong..:((
But I beleive in the saying " Do what you have to do without worrying about the results" and..results will follow.
Ditto are the Husband's words. Thats how I have kept my Sanity so long. But really, I just want to get under 75 in the blink of an eye :)
DeleteDo you fancy Brown rice? Or wild rice? I just made that today, and it does taste a little different-BUT only a little-at least for me! I think with the running lined up for sure you will get there sooner than you think!
ReplyDeleteThanks Sheetal. Yes I have tried brown rice. Somehow I guess I am not good with cooking it and it does not go so well with south indian dishes...once in a way is ok... but I prefer my roties :)
