Trying To Go Back
I just had my working out session a few hours ago, and I have to tell you that it feels great! I fell out of my routine for almost three weeks, and there were times where I feared that I might gain weight again; considering the fact that I didn’t actually take much notice of my daily calories intake.
What surprises me the most is that regardless of my daily calories intake, my body is still able to burn it quite efficiently. Even without any exercise, I didn’t really gain weight at all. Now that is a good thing to know. Although I have to admit that even though my weight didn’t change but my overall fitness level has declined a bit.
I get tired more easily and I don’t have the stamina that I used to have when I am on my regular working out schedule. So it does feel great to be able to get back to my routine for this past two days. I am taking it lightly as to prevent my body from getting too exhausted, to make it able to adjust itself back to my usual schedule.
I am now currently at 138lbs (around 63kgs), my ideal weight according to BMI calculations. Since January this year, I’ve managed to lose around 22lbs of fat. I feel a lot better now, I feel great about myself and that is a really great feeling to have, although not all people think that way.
Most people have already noticed the loss of weight. Most associated it with some kind of illness, although I politely assured them that the weight loss is intentional. Most is also polite enough to stop at that point, although a few managed to say that I look better when I am 22lbs heavier.
I have to say that I disagree. I feel great and I think I look great also, more toned and more lean. 138lbs was my weight during my university days. Working made me 22lbs heavier because of unhealthy lifestyle. I used to eat quite a lot, drink a couple cup of coffee everyday and rarely did any exercise at all.
During my first year of working I gained 22lbs, and I just realized that I was a little overweight. I was denying it of course, just like the people who said that I look good when I was 22lbs heavier are trying to deny that they are already slightly overweight themselves.
My family has a history of diabetes, so decided that I don’t want it to happen to me. I want to be able to live a long and healthy life. I want to take responsibility of my own body and health. To take better care of myself and inspiring other people to do the same in the process.
My sister is leading a healthier lifestyle because I influence her by leading a healthier lifestyle myself. I hope I can inspire more people, especially those who are dear to me. I will keep doing so hoping to inspire other people to do the same.
