Yepz... i'm pretty psyched. Went to see my doctor today and I've lost about 13kg since I joined the programme. It's been exactly 2 months since I joined the programme so that makes it about 1.5kg lost per week. I started off weighing about 147kg and today, it's about 134. Frankly, I'm quite pleased with my progress. I've definitely begun feeling the weight loss. My pants are now getting pretty loose and I'm beginning to be able to wear some of my used-to-be-tight shirts.
Of course, the concern now is whether I can keep this up. I must admit to feeling somewhat satisfied although I know I am far from my ideal weight. Personally, I would love to go from a triple digit to a double digit weight. I think I really need to remind myself to take it one step at a time. My goal for now is to go below 130kg.
As far as exercise is concerned, I've been trying to up my walking and I've also taken up swimming as well as some simple arm exercises to build up my biceps and triceps. I cannot believe how weak they are. Not surprising I guess, considering that I have done zero exercises on them for the past dunno-how-many years.
Anyway, here's a record of my walking for the last few days:
11 Dec - 15720 (33mins)
12 Dec - 13547 (26mins)
13 Dec - 14903 (33mins)
14 Dec - 6751 (forgot to bring stepmeter out) (50mins)
15 Dec - 13697 (41mins)
16 Dec - 15607 (46mins)
Time in brackets show the time I took on my brisk walking.
On top of that, I've managed to clock in some swimming time.
11 Dec - Swimming (20 laps/37mins)
16 Dec - Swimming (20 laps/40mins)
I'm gonna be meeting up with the sports therapist for the first time on thursday so I'm looking forward to doing some other different exercises.
13kg gone. \O/
