I AM STRONGER THAN IT!

Thursday, May 09, 2013

I have been a good girl staying within my calorie limit since the beginning of the week till today this evening i had emotional issues and i threw caution out of the window,I ATE and ATE.

I thought i had developed some thick skin regarding IT but it seems the monster is rearing it's ugly head again.

But i am moving forward,I am not going to let it pull me down or backwards again.I have come this far not to let a day of awful eating hurt all my good efforts.

I am STRONGER than IT . . . YES,I am the STRONGER one!

UPDATE TO MY MAY GOALS

Friday, May 03, 2013

After recently updating my goals on SP, I was given a new calorie limit of 1200 - 1500 calories in order to loose about 4 kilos by the end of the month.
Its going to be an uphill task for me because i hardly maintained my former calorie limit of 1700 - 2000 calories.
I also just realized my main reason for not loosing weight in the past 2 months,i was eating way too many calories,i didn't do an update on SP while i lost weight and was still relying on my initial weight loss goal.

I hope i will conquer this time around.

RE ENFORCING

Wednesday, May 01, 2013

Yeah,I have been on my current weight of 93kg since February and its not funny anymore. Two months past no tilt on the scale ,I know my diet is to blame,I hardly stay within my calorie range though I do my workouts consistently so this new month of May,I have a new goal :

To lose 4kgs
To stay within calorie limit of between 1700 - 2000 calories.
To exercise at least 40 minutes daily
To drink more water
To have healthy snacks

I hope at the end of this month that I will blog about my success.
Thank you sparkers for dropping by,love you all.

INJURY

Tuesday, March 26, 2013

What do i do now,just sprained my ankle this morning while i was jogging.I thought it was minor because i managed to go for about half a mile before i stopped my run but now i am walking but with difficulties . . . it's so painful.

Can't bear to stop doing my work outs,can somebody suggest what i do to make the pains lessen,I really don't want to do anything to aggravate my pains.

MY FIRST YEAR JOURNEY

Thursday, March 14, 2013

NOV.2011 feb 2013

My sparkversary is supposed to be 2 days ago on the 12th of March precisely but I was not in a good frame of mind on that day and not having internet access very late that night made me to be doing this blog now.

That notwithstanding,i am happy to be sharing my journey so far . . .
When i joined SP through a friend's share on facebook,I just fell in love with the site and moreso,that it's so FREE. I joined on that day i saw the link but did not start tracking anything till around May 2012 though i was reading all the daily mails,articles,blogs etc being shared on SP.

Before November 2012,i was dedicated and tracking my 30 minutes workouts (jogging and biking mainly) i had only lost about 5 kilos. Tracking my nutrition was hard since i live in Nigeria and eating mainly our local foods (didn't know the amount of calories in them) but with the help of FEMISLIM, a spark friend i had a major breakthrough and people noticed that i lost weight.

I maybe slow to reaching my goal weight but i am far from where i used to be,i have had a number of non scale victories:
- Last year when i joined SP,I was jogging 7 laps on a standard athletic track for 30
minutes,gradually i went from 8 laps to even 9.5 laps late last year but now i do more than 11 laps(but not up to 12 laps) in 30 minutes.
- My clothes no longer fits,i have gone from a size 20 to size 16.
- I have done about four 5k's (gone from finishing in 40 minutes to 35 minutes.)
- I am stronger and more confident,

ISN'T THIS PROGRESS?

I have also learnt that with consistency and discipline,one can achieve what he/she sets his/her heart to achieve.
I am not also going to punish myself for not reaching my initial goal weight of 85 kilos because i know that if i don't give up,I will reach my final goal weight eventually.

I am thanking the great team on SP especially for making this site FREE,for the numerous articles,blogs etc which have been of tremendous help on my journey towards achieving a healthy body.

I also appreciate all the supports of FEMISLIM,all my spark friends and all the members of my spark teams . . . you have been so wonderful

I am looking forward to a great second sparkversary.
Thank you SP!
