It’s hard to believe that it has already been two months since I started My Fitness Journey! I challenged myself\u00a0over\u00a0a period of 6 months (okay 5 months and 2 weeks) to not only focus on my weight, but also on my nutrition.<\/p>\n
It’s been a really interesting experience. Since\u00a0New Year’s Day I have lost almost 14kg. In January I lost 10kg and in February I lost 2kg. I actually thought that I would have lost more in February, so in some ways this is disappointing. But on the other hand, one of the reasons I like to write\u00a0about this is because it forces me to do the math and to be honest with myself.\u00a0I have set my goal to lose a kilogram a week, and it seems like I am only doing half as much.<\/p>\n
The really frustrating part is that in February, I kicked up the intensity of working out. A couple of days a week I added morning and evening training, and I have been\u00a0making sure that 3 workouts a week are strength training (Body Pump). But I\u00a0also know where I could do better:<\/p>\n
In the larger context, I have remember that\u00a0after 8 weeks, I am down 12kg, which means that overall I am\u00a0slightly ahead of my target. And so far in March I am down another 2kg, which puts my even more slightly ahead. According to\u00a0my Fitbit Dashboard, I am at 48% of my goal. If you had told me\u00a0that I would be this far along after only 9 weeks, I would have been a bit skeptical. So the lesson I am taking from this is that:<\/p>\n
But seriously, I\u00a0feel good\u00a0overall about where I started from and good about where I am going! I just have to keep pushing forward \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
