So I have started myself on another journey with fitness.
A lot of research was done this time round to check out exercises that work for me.
And as most fitspo sites would have it, diet actually makes up 70% of your fitness regime.
Exercise makes up the other 30%.
I would die first if I had to eat like them.
Diet was never in any part of my fitness equation. Never before, that is.
Because I do not know else how to flatten back a stomach that had previously been stretched until like that. -_-"
So this month, I have started to make baby steps in changing part of our diet.
BABY steps ;p
1) CUTTING DOWN THE SUGAR
This is easy! I was never a dessert person until my pregnancy. The extra weights must have come from my daily dessert treats and cokes I indulged D with for 9 full months! These are things that were never a huge part of my diet and I am pretty sure my body didn't know how to deal with them :D Now the only sugary stuff I take daily is just from that cuppa coffee - cant be as bad right?
2) DRINKING AT LEAST 8 GLASSES OF WATER A DAY
This one is easy! I drink 1.5 - 2 litres each day!
3) EATING CLEAN
Here comes the toughest part of diet.
I wish I could post clean foods like the below and hashtag them on instagram everyday. And become part of the fitspo community.
Monday's lunch
Friday's lunch
Not too bad. Eh?
Reason why I do not try to become part of the fitspo community is because we have had a 'cheat meal' too many!
This is the dinner N&I had the night before.
Buffet, no less. So imagine this on a repeat mode!
It's mainly a protein buffet, though :D That made us slightly happier.
The fitspo people call them cheat meals and you are supposed to have it only once a week! But cheat meals are so inherent in our lifestyle that I don't wish to rule them out! I still prefer to have my fried beehoon, roti prata, lor mee and barchormee for breakfast. These over granola and fruits and yoghurts everyday.
So for the time being, I am just gonna work with changing out a few meals to 'cleaner' option.
It's hard work.
