My Recent Quest

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!!!
