The New ME...A month after my change of lifestyle...

I have never felt better in my whole entire life!!! What finally made me turn over a new life, you might wonder? What was the wake up call that I got?

Well, I went to my scheduled doctor's appointment at Hospital Tuanku Mizan in Setiawangsa. My turn came for the usual BP test and weight measurement. I had the shock of my life when I tipped the scale at 58kgs! Never have I ever weighed so heavy! (being pregnant doesn't count though) Driving back home, I started having this mixed feelings about this new weight of mine. How could I let myself lose it? Have I been eating too much? Don't I lead an active lifestyle? Time for a lifestyle check...

I started reflecting about how I lived my life so far. I realized that my daily breakfast of Nasi Lemak with Chicken Curry wasn't doing my waist any good. Drinking Coke every once in a while (up to 3 cans a week actually), was only piling up my daily calorie intake. Plus, I don't really exercise the minimum 3 times a week. Actually, it was more like watching OTHER people exercise on The Biggest Loser on my couch in my living room. I started having asthma attacks without knowing why. And sluggishness was a daily feeling that I have...

So, now, to my husband's suprise, I stopped eating rice and bread and almost every form of carbohydrates and ate more fruits and vegetables. I drank almost 2 litres of water a day (plain drinking water that is), drank 2 servings of apple cider vinegar tonic (which does wonders in increasing my energy level), and religiously go to the gym and do zumba every other day for 1 hour. And boy, the effects of these new changes?

1. My skin now glows naturally and my skin tone evens out nicely.
2. My asthma attacks are now gone and I breathe perfectly.
3. I've lost 4 kgs from 58kgs, and I'm now down to 54kgs.
4. I'm starting to have great muscle definition on my arms and legs.
5. I can now fit into my jeans comfortably without any tight feelings (which I used to have and have been denying all this while)
6. My nose is not runny anymore - no more allergic rhinitis!
7. I've been receiving compliments from people around me and people are starting to pay attention to me more now!
8. My husband just loves the way I look now more than he ever did.

54kgs is great, but my real goal is to cut down to 50kgs. Don't wanna lose too much weight though. I wanna be slim but not skinny. Still needs my feminine curves to make me feel more womanly hehehe...I'll update you on my progress in my future posts. So, doesn't it make you wonder, if you do the same things that I do, you would enjoy the same effects like I do now?

Go ahead and test yourself. You'll love the results!
