I wanted to really shock my body and break this plateau that has been with me for over a year. I either gain a kilo or lose a kilo. To lose more than 3-4 kilos seemed impossible and so hard! Yet, people who saw me once a week or once a month would say, “OMG you have lost weight, wow!” I always feel like saying, “please get your eyes checked, I clearly have NOT lost anything.” But instead I smile and say thanks. My principal who sees me everyday single day also has said that I have shrunk.
I decided to go to a dietitian and do a month of meal prep and increase my cardio. I made an appointment and went to see her. She took my measurements and I picked my food for a month. With work being hectic, I had no time to think of what I wanted to eat and what to prepare the night before. So I thought that I would kill two birds with one stone. I was eating 1250 calories a day and my goodness, I was starving the first 3 days but then got I got used to it. I tried to go running twice a week with some colleagues and see my trainer twice a week. That plan only worked for 1 week. The end of the school year got so busy and I barely had any time for myself. I was tracking my weight with my scale and did NOT go down.
It was time to go and check in with the dietitian and to measure myself. My scale was the same that morning yet when she measured me I went down all over. After 1 month of meal prep and 50 days of Lent I did my blood test and everything went down, in particular my cholesterol. Boy was I happy for that! The scale continues to be the end of me. Summer is now here which means that I will have some more time for myself. I tend to take care of myself more, I exercise more often and eat a lot more healthier. We shall see at the end of the summer if there is any difference in my weight.
