Last January 13, I blogged about the challenge that I'm going under: 27@24. It's been about two weeks since I took that challenge and I am happy to say that I have already reached the 50% of my goal. I weighed in last Saturday and I noticed that from 120 lbs. I already weigh 115 lbs! That was already 5 lbs for a 1200-calorie food intake and a 30-minute workout! Also, my waistline trimmed down to 28 inches which was previously 29. It is not bad at all! An inch is already something I consider as an accomplishment. Now, I will continue to do this routine until February 24.
I also started a 21-day No Junk Food Challenge but unfortunately, today, I ate spaghetti and fries. Sighs. I think I need to reschedule this challenge since I failed it for this attempt. But there was already a change in my outlook in eating. I choose to go healthy and natural than processed. I try to avoid salty, fatty and oily food. If ever I come across these, there is already a need for shedding the fats away. I also noticed that my body craves for exercise at the end of day. If ever I am not able to do my usual aerobics exercise or workout, I make sure that I burn the calories by using other not-so-very-likely-workout activities like table tennis and brisk walking. Even it burns fewer calories than what aerobics gives me, it is the burn that counts.
Having this progress makes me strive harder to reach my goal. If you truly want something to be achieved, you need to work hard for it. And I will. I won't let my efforts go into waste even if I reach my goal. I'll continue to maintain this healthy lifestyle that I have started.
