HistoryI've always been fat my entire life!
My height is 155cm.
The lightest I've ever been is around 52kgs (when I was 16-19)
Around 19, (I was taking Architecture at that time) the stress and work time just took a toll on me. I was working all night doing design, a lot of times felt hungry around 4-5 a.m. ordered McD, ate then slept around 6-7 a.m.
Gained almost 30 kgs. Heaviest at 82kgs.
Now I'm 22 and still fat! Started exercising since late last year (changed course of studies too *happier*) but have only been able to maintain weight at 76kgs.
ExerciseMy exercise schedule has changed a lot during these past few months, but the latest one is:
M - Pilates/Yoga
Tu - Belly Dance
W - Pilates/Yoga
Th - Tahiti Dance
F - Pilates/Yoga
Sa - REST
Su - Aerobics
The exercises (Yoga/Pilates/Dance) are about 30 mins each. The Yoga/Pilates are a bit tougher, so I sort of alternate hard and easy(Dance). Aerobics take about one hour and includes lightweight lifting as well. Occasionaly, I go for jogging on top of all this as well.
Pilates was a new addition and I can feel improvement in my body though the weighing scale and measuring tape says otherwise.
All of this exercises are from YouTube. I pretty much enjoy them (though they're still challenging) and once I start, it's hard to stop. HOWEVER, once I've stopped it's so hard to start back again. So hopefully after writing this I will start back again.
FoodI don't drink carbonated water at all. Only the occasional flavoured drink every now and then (once or twice a week maybe)
I don't really fancy desserts (only occasional) and I don't eat donuts at all (after I read in the newspaper that one donut is 32 tsp of sugar!! UGH!!)
I eat junk food and fast food umm, sometimes often, sometimes not. Lately I've noticed that I can't eat KFC anymore. The amount of oil makes me nauseous.
I eat a lot of unhealthy condiments I guess, mayo and chilli sauce. A LOT! And when I get bored I eat... and tendency to eat late at night before sleeping.
Starting to include more fruits and vegetables into my diet...
but I still eat them with mayo.
Trying the six meals a day... though fasting month is coming soon. What do I do then????
GoalApparently my ideal weight is 46kgs, but I'll be happy to weight around 50kgs again.
Stopped exercising for about a week now. Looking to start back again tomorrow, especially after writing this!
I'm pretty clueless about food. :/ Like calories, and whatever they baffle me.
I'm all ears for advice!
Following Jamie Eason's Livefit programme from Bodybuilding now. www.bodybuilding.com/livefit
If you're lazy to click and read, the summary is... it's broken into three phases.
Phase 1 is muscle building without any cardio coupled with clean-eating plan;
Phase 2 introduces cardio and limits starchy carb intake to earlier of the day;
Phase 3 is HIIT and carb-cycling.
Each Phase is four weeks and in total the whole program is 12-weeks.
Gonna be cooking my own food, bringing packed meals to college, and also be doing free-weights in the gym
Wish me luck! I'm aiming to go during non-peak hours so I won't feel shy with all the dudes in the gym.
Food: Six meals spaced every three hours.
Supplements I'll be taking: Daily multivits, EFA, BCAA pre-workout, Calcium pill post-workout, Whey Protein (if mealtime don't happen within 30 minutes post-workout)
WISH ME LUCK! And let me know if anybody else is doing this too? So we can support each other.
