Hi guys I'm back after 4 years...
I'm so sorry to disappoint you. I let myself down I gained 8 kg. I remember when I started this blog I lost 10 kg, so I believe I can do it again!
What happened?
-After holidays I gained weight and keep postponing getting back to my healthy lifestyle
-I got bored of eating so restricted (eating very little calories)
-So many things going through my head. Do I want to be skinny or strong? At the beginning skinny then strong
-When I decided to get strong I got amazing results. I was going to the gym 5 times a week. 1 day I was very tired after work, read the new gym programme wrong and lifted the wrong weights. What a day! I hurted my back badly for a year so my first priority was getting recovered (no time thinking about food or anything else)
-Then after I got better I kind of forgot about my food eating habits and kept calling food at night time when I was tired
-Less exercise and eating more every time, sleeping less hours too
-Lost motivation, start eating at restaurants (not picking the best options), and just eating, eating eating.... specially emotional eating!!!!
-Now is the start of 2018.... I looked at my life back in 2013 and remember I used to feel so energetic so full of life
What's the current situation?
-No energy, feeling lazy and weak (even difficult to open some doors at work or lifting bags at the supermarket
-Back is in a lot of pain, lower back muscles get very tight when I don't exercise
-When I lost 10 kg I used to wear size 6, now size 10 or 12 :(
-Clothes don't fit
-I know I'm eating just because I'm bored or stressed
Why do I want to make a change
-I want my healthy lifestyle back
-I want to be able to buy clothes online (whatever I want, I remember it didn't matter what I got I used to look fab in everything)
-I want to love my body again, I want to feel proud and make others inspired (again!!)
-I remember the times people called me "skinny bitch" "oh my god the amount of weight you have lost" "oh you are looking well" "I can see you have lost weight" even the people that told me "you have less meat than a dumpling" ( that I hated you so much for saying that ) I wish you could all tell me these things cause deeply in my soul I fuc***g loved it!!!!!!!!!!!
Next steps
-So yeah I'm back and now I have more support, I din't have much back in the day but now I have 2 people on my side. 1 friend that is already super fit, she is such an inspiration I want to make her proud and also another friend that will join me in this journey (we will eat the same and exercise together everyday), this will definitely make the journey easier
-Once we get fitter we will update a Facebook and Instagram account showing our progress and inspiring others
-Now I'll do a supermarket list to plan my whole week and will log all my meals in Myfitnesspal
-I'll also do another tab with a Food diary (even if I bad I will published it, this will be public humiliation so feel free to cyber slap me in the comments below (but I promise I will be super good, there is no way back)
-I will also keep track of my weight, muscle and more (I bought the Tanita scale) to have the whole information once a week
-Exercise plan will also come included (generally planning to do weight training on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and cardio on the rest of the days (doing zumba, stationary bike, swimming and so on)
-Am I forgetting anything??? maybe.... Just keeep watching....
This is what I wrote back in 2013... so I better read it again to remind myself where I was and where do I want to be
