Taking A Single Step

17 October Exercises: Complete Routine, 1 Round

2011-10-16T21:34:00.000-07:00

I was able to complete the routine: 2 Shakira music and one round of hard core abdominal exercises just like what I posted yesterday. Actually the last one should be repeated 3 times but I'll get there, maybe this weekend. Maybe I have lumbered for so long and was not able to move that I really feel heavy. I better do some cardio-vascular exercises, otherwise I'd die young!

Maybe I am too focused with work, school and sleep that I forgot what a healthy life is! Lucky I am not a food craver, otherwise I can only be worse!

Target weight: 48kg
Weight today: 50.5kg
Height: 151 cm
eight to trim:1.7 kg

2011-10-15T22:44:00.000-07:00

That's my photo, I basically would like to improve my figure andmove from 50 kg to 48 kg! Wish me luck guys!

Below 50 Kilograms Still Maintained

2010-09-19T00:25:00.001-07:00

In the past few months, life was not very easy for me. I have had to travel approximately 300 kilometers everyday in bike-train-tram mix to reach work and return home. Luckily, I relocated before August ended and now that I live less than two kilometers away from work, it is a complete change. Yes, a change for a much better life! During those hectic days,my weight would fluctuate largely from 49.3 to 51 kilograms.

Stress propel people to eat, this is for sure and my weight just after eating is quite heavy! Now that I have a lot of time compared before, I am able to do my daily exercises in making my tummy work a bit of muscles. The exercises that I do are very light but I have proven them to be effective, thus I stick on them.

The whole week from September twelve (12) until today, my before and after breakfast weight actually ranges from 49.6 kilograms to 49.8 kilograms! Isn't that fantastic? My weight maintained itself on a below 50 mark! I still aim to be below 49 and I am on a constant zeal to reach it.It is attainable for sure but not very soon I believe. Still,I am happy of how heavy I am now.

Maintaining Weight Level of Below 50 kg

2010-05-23T13:32:00.000-07:00

It's been months since I weighed below fifty.As mentioned repeatedly inprevious posts, I used to weigh 53-55.4kg but now, I ate so much and enjoy eating yet, the maximum that I get is 49.7. I went down as below as 48.8 but that was only like 3 times. I just hope I can maintain this below fifty weight and be steady with it. I still wish to weigh lower but having 57 as my maximum normal weight level, I think a weight below 50 is not bad. Still biking a lot during weekdays and still lazy during weekend.^^

My Personal Weight Loss Story

2010-05-05T14:04:00.000-07:00

Before I sterted my diet and simple exercise plan, I was 53.7 kilograms and that was maxed-out after the Christmas holidays and new year 2010 celebration makingme reach a scary weight of 55.4 kilograms. In short, I used to weight from 53.7kg to 55.4kg. Maybe for a tall person this can be a normal weight but I was 24 years old by then and I am only 151 cm tall. I understand from my dietician that I was not in my overweight limit yet. My overweight limit is 57 kilograms and that I still was below it. Despite this fact, I still felt uncomfortable and my weight causes me lower back pain. I wanted to lessen my weight a bit.

A kilogram of weight loss for my height is already good. But do you have any idea what I lost or how much I did lose? Guess it. I had my simple rules that I think for someone who is motivated enough, those rules are very simple to follow.

I lost more than just a kilo... and how much? That I would reveal in my succeeding posts. For now I am contented with my weight. My dietician advised me to calm down as I am already in my perfect weight... but would you if you're in my case? We will see and let's see if my own rules apply to you as well.

Gaining and Losing Weight Instantly

2010-01-24T05:16:00.000-08:00

After the holidays, I gained like 2 kilograms. In short,my weight of 53.7 kilos, after reaching backhome, reached as far as 55.7kg! Ouch! Not a good sign, right? Honestly, I was so pressured and stressed during the holidays. Travel here, travel there with so many connecting trips and everything. For me,stress is even worse than eating much, I justgain weight for no reason. Then,on the 28th of December until the 31st, I had lots of deadlines and I had a train to catch on the 31st at 4PM to have the new year's eve in Stuttgart (I live in Gelderland, Netherlands). It was really so many hours of work and I was still tired frommy trip toItaly and going back in Netherlands for my Christmas holidays.

After settling back at home, when the holidays are over, I started my simple diet (yet I found effective):
1. Milk and cereal for breakfast
2. Reducing my fat intake- lesser porksteak,lesser saucy pastas, more fruits andveges

Of course diet alone is not enough.Every morning, I do curl-ups(at least 50) and somemoving around.And during weekends, I plan to have ice skating activity for at least an hour I did my first time for 90 minutes yesterday). I also walked toandfromworkfor 3 days last week (est 1,500meters).

And know what? Now I weigh 53.2 kg.If I can reach 52something,I will be really happy,hopefully this week.^^ Goodluck tome!

Losing Weight by Travelling: Weight Loss in Rome Roaming

2009-12-20T06:51:00.000-08:00

It was like a dream! When I arrived home (in Italy) I weighed 2 kilograms lesser! Oh wow! After 3 days of staying out, from flying, roaming, moving around (no partying), I lost those grams away! Lovely, isn't it? Traveling, enjoying and weight losing! Simply splendidly amazing! That's not all good news though. Why? Hmmmm... as they say, all good things have ending! After two days of vacation at home, with only sleep and eating and a few inhouse walk and little exercise, I regain the weight I lost! Oh so bad! But maybe, the next time, when I go somewhere and go back home in Netherlands and go back working right away, maybe I can let the lost weight be lost forever. Currently, I am on a losing weight program and I want to succeed in it. As promised in previous post, I will be noting here the progress of our activity. But since this is Christmas vacation,no much updates yet plus the fact that I am in Italy now and my "dietician" is in Netherlands. ||| Second Sesssion Loss Weight Program ||| As stated in my previous post, I will note here what we did the second session in working out to reach 47kg dream weight that I have. First, we had my fats measured from 3 points in my body: (1) the arm, choosing the side that I do not use (I am right handed so we measured the left side); (2) My back fat ... there is a specific point there that my dietician chose to measure; and (3) belly fat and there is also a specific point there. When the results came out, I happen to have 31% of fat and the normal is 30%. Thus, I should reduce my fat foodintake and take on more of non-fatty foods.

Weight Loss Program: From 54 to 47 kilograms

2009-12-11T10:07:00.000-08:00

Now I am into losing weight. I happen to have a colleague who studies to be a "dieticien" and I am one of her 4 subjects! Cool huh? Actually I weigh 53.7kg as an average and my dream weigh is 47 kilograms. We will be working together to reach this weight. Hopefully it is reachable at a not very high effort (but I think it is...:( ) Anyway, I would like to share now, after being lost in this blog formonths, what we are doing, and you may also follow, or get insights from. Are you curious how I'd look like? Here is the place whereI have tons of photos

This program would belong, the time frame is around 7 months and desired results is a steady weight of 47, or at least not reaching 50. I have a lot of tipsteralready and lot totellwhat we have done so far. The program, we had the intake around 2 weeks ago and this last week, I was measured in terms of fat percentage, what my weight says andall. Exciting andpromising,isn't it?

What happenedtomy running? The very cold weather hurtsme. I was born and raisedinAsia so I guess my outdoor running causes me to cough a lot. Until the DST (Daylight savings time) was finished,I was walking to and fro work but now it is so dark scaring me,so I have another means. Then, I cycle for 9 kilometers in open air on Mondays and Wednesdays when I have my night Dutch integration/language course.

Watch out formore update and let's all get fit!.

Jogging and Running Success Story, Day 3 Friday

2009-09-28T15:38:00.000-07:00

It was Friday and was incredibly colder than the first two days of my dedicated renewed running activity. When I got out of the house, I wanted to run back! I was not able to anticipate the cold morning. It was only later when the sun rays was visible when I noted that it was very foggy and misty, explaining the wetness and the coldness of the early hours..

In short, I succeeded on the third day, that Friday! I was so glad to have reached the last day of the week with a success and never breaking my promise to myself! Thogh I think I need more motivation, for now, it's a big achievement for me already.

I also went to work walking, leaving my bike at home and I walked back home as well. It was a great successful week!

The Music of Shaggy Helps ME Run!

2009-09-27T22:10:00.000-07:00

Yes, Shaggy is one of the big helps I get whenever I run in the very early, dark and cold morning. Attached is one of the best songs that make me move my feet. Honestly, I want to hear the Allegretto of the Bond but my download in the mp3 is not so good that I am constricted with Shaggy...but no regrets, I love his baritone voice and his style. Only now I was able to realize that his music, no matter how cool sounding has deeper meaning within. Try to listen and analyze and I know you'd get what I mean! And oh yea, I like to move IT!

Jogging Rest Day, Walking Healthily

2009-09-27T07:43:00.000-07:00

This is the first week of my dedicated move to flex some bones and muscles. Yesterday was a success for my second day of run. Today, Thursday, is my rest day. I run one-day-apart so I have a free day always in between and rests on weekend. Weekends are holy! The good thing is, rest days give me excitement to go on the next running day and to balance stuff, I walk to and from work also..

In total, a month around 30 kilometers is the total run while I walk all the way to work and go back home walking as well, unless I have some any other appointment that I need to hurry to, in any case, I take my back and walk with it in the morning and ride it for the appointment and go back home.

Jogging Succeeded, Day 2

2009-09-24T20:39:00.000-07:00

Wednesday came and it's the second day that I must run! Yes, I used the word "MUST" as I must do it! I created this blog to give me a constant reminder in case I am not consistent enough of what I am doing. As the same, I run to the same path, the direction of my office and from there, I run up and down of a 65-step stairs giving way to another road. For me, running is not that fun compared to other sports but what can I do? I cant wake my friends up at that hour and ask them to run with me, right?

What I did, I uploaded the jolly music and fast-rhythmic music to my mp3 player and just run with the playing music. The music actually helps a lot and the determination helps a lot. In short, the second day was a success and I am so glad about it.

As I write this now, it is my third day. I'll just have to change from pyjama to running gear and off I go. See you for the next update!

Running Rest Day Activity, Tuesday, 22 September

2009-09-23T20:46:00.000-07:00

Tuesday came and it was my rest day. Now I see the real advantage of having a day free in between. As for a starter like me, it makes me relax for a day and then another running day would come. I have been thinking if I do the weekends but I have not decided yet. I think it is okay to do and it is also all right to leave the weekends holy for my rest. Either way, I will still be okay. But of course, any suggestions from you is highly appreciated.Here is the beginning of my post.

Since Tuesday was my rest day, I did an alternative at home by doing some curl ups in the morning before going to work. And know what? I also went to work walking in the morning. Although I brought my bike with me, I did not ride it. I brought it because I needed to consult my physiotherapist and I needed to hurry in doing that.

About the physiotherapist? It's another story that needed to be tld here... :) Looking up for the next running day post!

Running Is Healthy Day 1

2009-09-21T12:11:00.000-07:00

Today is the first day I am doing this and this blog is to encourage me to do it consistently: running! Today, I did around 2000 meters plus 130 steps up, 130 steps down goung up the bridge. Getting up of the bed is not very easy in this cold and dark autumn but I have to do it or else I will end up shapeless despite my very young age. I want to be fit. I need to be fit! Today, day 1 that I decided to record what I do, is dated 21st of September 2009. I dont like running so much alone but still, I know the benefits are not that bad! It's good!H

I plan to do it every other day and log everythibg here so that if I miss something, you guys can encourage me and I can also be aware of it and be self-encouraged. Wish me luck my friends for my good health and proper fitness.

I started at 6:15 and get back at 6:35, quite fast as it is not so far away. I had to take lights though, those that are portable for my own safety to be not hit by other runners or my bicycles and motorcycles.
