For several weeks, I have been into this fitness craze. I dance or run 5-6x a week and for the first time in my life, I forced myself to go on diet. It was very difficult for me to give up soft drinks since I am the type of person who would always have carbonated drinks but after several days of not giving in to my cravings, I have successfully conquered my need to drink colas. It seems I have also gotten rid of my sweet tooth. I NO longer have stock of chocolates and cakes inside my ref. Much to the dismay of my sons who always raid my loot. =)
Getting rid of junk food is quite easy as I am not in to junk food that much. It’s also okay for me to forego rice as I only eat rice once a day. The 2 things that I could not seem to give up are coffee and cigarettes. =) I know I should give up cigarettes but they’re really my stress relievers. And besides, I only smoke when I am not at home.
Vanity is just one of the reasons why I want to lose weight and get fit. I always lose weight when I workout but I also gain them back the moment I stop going to the gym. The reason for this is because I never made the conscious decision to go on a diet when I was working out. This time, I am really serious of getting back in shape. And I think I’ll be able to do it this time. =)
To date I have lost 8 lbs already but I feel slimmer, fitter and healthier. I plan to lose 10 more pounds since I want to go back to my pre-Drew body. Yes, I want to go back to rocking bikinis and LBDs! =) Despite the age. hahaha.
