I think I have come into the usual of Low Carbing, it is really getting easier and easier. The food is great! It is even easier to say no to cookies, bread and sugar. The hardest part is the weight loss plateaus every few weeks. It takes so much perseverance for me to push through then. I see a pattern of not loosing for a few days and then suddenly I will loose almost a kilogram in two days and then again the plateau. I look back and am grateful for the 12 and a half kilogram I have shed..... Looking forward to the next 9 kilogram before I reach my goal.
My weight has been up and down the last week. This morning it was very close to my lowest point of 73.6 hoping to pass that tomorrow morning.
I did go on my morning exercise today. I did a great speed walking with my Nordic sticks.
Exercise is pure discipline for me..... on my morning walk out this morning I realized how without exercise and eating a healthy diet I'm robbed of energy and a desire to live my life to the fullest. How it steals from who I was made to be..... stealing from my calling.... why I was made and live here on earth.... WOW this was quite the eye opener.... Why taking good care of my "temple" adds to my life... I was made for a purpose I do not want to miss that, I do not want to look back one day and suffer... being disappointed because I could have done more to keep this "temple" and life shining for HIm....
BREAKFAST today was a treat from my daughter a 2 egg omelette with tomato, feta and sprinkle of cheese. With coffee and cream.
LUNCH was a chicken breast in the microwave with turkey ham and cheese with a dot of sweet chili sauce. I had a mixed salad of cucumber, tomato and pickles on the side.
Had 2 cubes of dark chocolate for dessert.
SUPPER was chicken soup. I know in this heat! I had the broth and had to bring it to good use. I added some broccoli, mushrooms and zucchini. NOt the most exciting of suppers but good nutrition for Low Carbing.
Karin, ek sukkel ook om gemotiveerd te bly wanneer die skaal nie gou genoeg al my moeite WYS nie :) Wanneer jy so oop en eerlik is oor jou daaglikse handel en wandel met kos en oefening, dan help dit my ook weer om my kop reg te kry vir die dag. Dankie vir jou getrouheid met die blog. Monique
ReplyDeleteDankie Monique jou aanmoediging beteken vir my baie. Soms dan voel ek ook net om alles in die lug te gooi en weg te loop. Dit gaan baie stadig maar ek kan nie sonder om aanspreeklikeid te he tot ander..... dit hou my aangaan en uithou. Ek is gewoonlik goed om goed te begin maar die aanhou is nie maklik nie. Stadig maar seker sal ons daar kom. x x x
ReplyDeleteHi Karin, ek moet se ek staan ook stil die laaste week, en dis erg frustrerend. Het sommer vanaand pannekoek saam met die kinders geeet - sjokolade pannekoek nogal. Dis nie die oplossing nie, ek weet. More oggend maar weer reg begin. Miskien skrik die skaal hom van sy plateau af. Dankie vir al jou bemoedigings! alna
ReplyDeleteEk hoop die skaal skrik om sommer n kilogram af ;) Ek weet dit is so frustrerend. Ek het ook sulke plateaus en dan eet ek baie streng..... Hoop dat dit more vir ons almal n groot lekkerte sal wees as ons weeg. Ons moet maar net aanou. Kyk om 12.4 kilogram in 8 maande te verloor was baie stadig. My geduld is tot op sy einde getoets. Ai en dan hoop ek nog om 9 kilogram te verloor voor Kersfees met hierdie spoed. Ek moet maar net moed skep en uithou.
