I finally got down to some action with the weight loss.
When I posted on June 23rd about the passing of a relative I was down with diarrhea. It went on for a few days and I lost a whole kg from not being able to sustain food. Something clicked in me because I had taken a break from eating rice. People are commonly prescribed to eat porridge when having diarrhea. Porridge is on a list (albeit a short one) of food I simply cannot ingest for the sole fact that it tastes horrible to me. So I resorted to bread.
And that somehow lit a lightbulb.
I cut rice out of my diet.
No no! I didn't cut out carbohydrate. I cut out rice.
Huge difference.
Not on an Atkins diet here.
I compensate by consuming large amounts of vegetables and I am also slowly avoiding anything fried.
I have perhaps 4 slices of bread per day but avoid white bread.
I also still enjoy a cup of tea in the evening lightly sugared.
I also enjoy alcohol every now and then, sparingly.
I also do not completely turn myself of cakes and pastries but again, the word for me is sparingly.
The result?
Since June 23, I have lost 10kgs!
WHA---??!!!!!!!!!!
Oh wait, did I also tell you I have started jogging and can now (from when I started at barely 500m), jog a whole 2 kms without stopping? I am slow but surely getting there!
Soon I'll take on the world! Metaphorically speaking of course... >.<
Hahahaha!!!
