Start of a new year

Im 30 years old, 10kg heavier than I ought to be, with shortness of breath when climbing from basement to second floor where our office is.

Today is the day I decide to change. No more excuses. This has to be done.

To set things in the right track, I had just finished my annual physical exam and had learned that my blood pressure is not ok. Diastolic pressure is high at 90, which means there is increase in workload when my heart is supplying blood to the heary muscles. Because of this, I was referred to the dietician and is scheduled to go on pulmonary function test on Wednesday.

Off I went to the dietician and had my initial consult. To lose weight, I need to make sure I consume just about 1200 calirories per day. I must also do a regular exercise routine of at least 3 times per week. I also need to do a food diary and will have to go back for another consult next week.

Anne's Day 8

Rainy day at home on a Monday equals diet pause. We had breakfast at home, had ice cream, a heavy lunch at Kanin Club plus a dinner of chips and coke. Exercise on halt, indeed another diet disaster day. Will try my best to get back on track tomorrow.

Anne's Day 4: Diet Disaster

Feeling sick with flu.Currently taking BioFlu, so no workout today.

Today was also our monthly meeting with the boss so food is overflowing. I had 2 donuts. and a cup of milo for breakfast, had a hefty lunch of boiled veggies with bagoong, caldereta, fish fillet in lemon sauce, chicken fillet in cream sauce, chopsuey, and some fruits. For the afternoon snack, had a zesto and mamon from red ribbon. Not sure if I'll have dinner though, am really not feeling well.

Sorry not much photos as the meeting was on-going when i had them.

Anne's Day 7

One week since we started. Doing a daily entry is quite a struggle. Was on vacation at aunt's house over the weekend, thus failed to keep up with the daily entries. Will try to catch up this coming week.

Anne's Day 3

Struggling with diet due to the many temptations. Received a box of red velevet cupcake with cream cheese frosting from my staff.I had two cupcakes and shared the rest. Had to skip aikido and yoga classes because of the order for 3 boxes of cupcakes. Also had another cupcake, this time chocolate--- i had to taste my product.:P

Failed to take a photo of my lunch...1/2 cup of black rice and a small can of hunt's pork and beans.

Anne's Day 2: Feeling the waters

It's really difficult to go on diet when everyone else is driving you to eat whatever food they can think of. Today, i failed to complete my work-out routine. I only finished my 30 minute walk-run-walk on the treadmill. I could no longer sustain the 8km/hr speed for 10 mins. I only lasted for 5mins, although I did maintain the walk at 6km/hr speed.

I was about to start my iron pumping when I was called in by the therapist for my treatment. I received a free trial of "multi-firme," a type of slimming therapies wherein you are attached to electodes and your muscles are allegedly worked out by the on and off electrical stimulation.This lasted for 30 mins. Then the next treatment was called "hot masque" wherein my belly was massaged and a warm liquid, persumably some form of a wax was applied to it. This one lasted for an hour. The hot masque was relaxing, but its efficacy in terms of achieving a slender physique...  im really not totally convinced.

Alain Week 1 Day 1

It's unfortunate I wasn't able to go to the gym today because my bed is so comfortable.

For the diet plan, I had red bean patties sandwich for my breakfast and lunch which I wasn't able to take a picture of because I was driving for breakfast and was very busy concentrating on work on lunch. Refer to Anne's post for reference since we had the same breakfast.

For dinner I ate the glazed friend chicken from Greenwich.

And the final tally...

It was a awesome day. Good night!
