90 days to loose weight

DAY 28 - 4 WEEKS IN RESULTS

I was 228.9 lbs (103.8 kg) I am now 212.3 lbs (96.3 kg)

I lost 16.5 lbs (7.5 kg) in four weeks.

I did not lose any weight in the last week, for obvious reasons:

The cheatmeal on sunday lunch will remain every sundays. Eating only chicken and broccoli for the rest of my life isn’t worth it, I have to get at least one proper meal once per week.

Because it’s rare, I’ll enjoy it more.

The thing is for this week (BTW no pictures as the weight is precisely the same as last week, no pics needed) I had too many cheatmeals, and not eating healthy thing too (I guess having a cheatmeal on plain chicken isn’t as bad a a eating 2 burgers patties stuffed with butter and honey as a dinner).

I didn’t workout using the THENX “How to lose weight fast” set of exercises. Instead, I went for a 1 hour hike in the mountains every 2 days.

So.

All and all, I think this is actually quite good, here’s why:

Everyone knows the first 5 kilos disappear just like that, and after this the pace to burn fat become slower.

I didn’t exercise that often (every two days = 1 mountain hike) but it seems it’s enough to regulate the weight.

Good news for the future (after the 90 days challenge): I know now what amount of workout/exercise I need to do to stabilize my weight.

AND on top of that, this last week wasn’t the perfect one: too many bad food ingested on random times: I didn’t stick to the usual schedule of meals.

Day 28

Really nice hike in the mountains of Bulgaria this morning, 25cm of snow with no living souls around and no footsteps in the snow except those from a few dogs (or wolves I’m not sure). Again, dinner was a cheatmeal + the snack in the afternoon wasn’t healthy aswell. I will not make excuses or whatever, I’m just sharing.

Day 17

I had to shop for a few household items today, and for this you have to go to the nearest “big” city, which in my case is 45 minutes away from the tiny town where I live.

Usually I like to have a copious meal in my favorite restaurant there (which usually is 2 pulled porc tacos, 1 double burger and fries, and a salad), but not today...

I prepared a little bento box (not really, just food in a tupperware) that I bring with me in the car.

Breakfast at 8h30 AM (same as yesterday)

DAY -1 FOR RESULTS ON 2 WEEKS OF WORKING OUT!

Tomorrow morning will mark the 2nd week of lifestyle change (healthy eating and working out)

I’ll weight myself like for the first week: in the morning, after visiting the bathroom but without eating.

The first week have been really impressive in body weight loss, let’s see if this one will be as impressive...

I feel better during the day, more energized, but frankly I still can’t see any visible results on my body.

Especially my face, still chubby cheeks...
