4 kilometers of cycling and this is the view

It really has started. The losing weight that is. It's not going fast, it doesn't fly off, but it is coming off. As of last Monday it was nearly 4 kg. I am pleased with that. I still eat chocolate (only a small bit though), I still eat what I like to eat, but smaller portions or a bit more controlled. With the occasional extravagance of course...
Like late last week when we went to see the sand sculptures. Afterwards we had lunch in a lovely pancake restaurant and I chose the ham, pineapple and brie pancake. It was so yummy! I don't think it's a bad thing either, eating something like that.

I may have told you this before, but I have a basic three goals. Goal 1 is to get in double figures kg wise. That goal is fast approaching. Goal 2 is to get to 90 kgs, which by the way things are going now could be achievable by Christmas. And Goal 3 is to get down to 75 kgs, which would be a much healthier weight than what I am now.

Me back in 1992, around my ideal weight

The ideal weight for my length would be around 65 kgs, but I am not sure whether I will make that Goal 4 or not. Anything between 55 and 70 kgs would be a healthy BMI, but 55 is too low for me, so that is definitely out of the question. As I said though: let's get down to the 90 first and then continue.
Congrats! Way to go! Keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteYay you Mara!!! You are doing it wisely. I have always heard when losing weight one should no deny yourself things...but just cut portions. That way you don't deny yourself things.

ReplyDeleteIt's been said before, but bears another airing... slow and steady wins the race!!! YAM xx
And I am finding some yummy recipes along the way too! Those spinach pancakes with the lime butter were really good. Not necessarily low cal, but honest good food. I prefer doing it that way: know what I eat and still lose a bit.
DeleteI really need to do this too. Maybe I can convince myself to start in about a month after my birthday and as we get into autumn.
ReplyDeleteWay to go. Keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteThe ideal weight is so elusive.
ReplyDeleteWell, I need to lose at least so much weight that I fit in my new uniform come December. Which, taken by the sizes I wear now wouldn't fit me if I didn't lose any.
