Like I said in my previous post, I have never been this serious when it comes to losing weight and shedding off unwanted pounds permanently. I am not getting any younger and I want to get fit for health and vanity reasons. It’s not easy. Really. I am a very busy single mother of 3. I work full time online and I also have online businesses that I am taking care of during my spare time. However, it came to a point when I have become increasingly unhappy with the state that my body is in. I cringe every time I look in the mirror. I hate that most of my clothes don’t fit anymore (in fact I still have a lot of clothes that haven’t been worn yet, still with tags and all). I have to come to terms and accept the fact that I have given birth more than two years ago and should have shed off those excess weight a long time ago.
So my determination was born. I started planning and actually took the time to start running and jogging first with two fitness buddies who are also serious about getting fit again. And for the first time in my life…I started dieting. Yes, I removed sodas and sweets from my daily menu. I eat rice once a day only and for less than a cup. I started incorporating more fruit and veggies in my meals. Now I exercise 5-6 times a week alternating running/jogging with zumba/hiphop. My fitness body Lea would like to add Belly Dancing to our routine once a week. Pretty soon, we would like to include swimming and Muay Thai too.
I have lost weight and feel a lot better. I’m halfway through my goal of going back to size S and 100 lbs. I wish I could have Jennifer Aniston’s banging body. She’s 44 years old and she’s so fit. Here are some pics of her in bikinis courtesy of eonline.com.
