3 kilos down.
2 more to go before January ends.
I was starting to slip up and feel less motivated so I looked for some inspiration.
And I found this story.
This girl lost 50lb in just 6 months. Surely I can lose half of it.
So I figured I’d start with eating fresh, unprocessed and mostly raw stuff.
Its hard for someone like me who has always stoically refused to eat salad. Especially Sri lankan salads that are nothing but watery cucumber cubes and squashed tomatoes drowning in a garden of drippy lettuce. Yuck.
But I also understand that if this diet is going to work I cant keep stir-frying everything.
So heres what I did.
Step 1 – Cleared out one whole shelf in the fridge just for myself.
Step 2 – Went shopping for healthy but interesting salad ingredients
Step 3 – Filled this shelf with everything from green apples to pineapples to onions and peppers. Boiled chicken, dressings, cilantro, oranges etc.
Everything is kept washed and things like onions are chopped up for the sake of convenience. So when I come home at night, all I have to do is mix n match.
Yesterday I had pan roasted chicken with cilantro and vinaigrette dressing.
Today I made chicken, pineapple & onion salad. Yum.
I dont know if its the personal effort or what but even in tiny portions these salads are delicious and strangely satisfying.
Is that too much to gun for?
I realize that the loss will slow down as I go. But I figured if the initial weight loss was fast enough I could still catch up even in the slump of the last weeks.
To break it down;
By end of Jan (three weeks + 2 days) – drop 5
End of Feb – drop 3
March – drop 2
Wish me luck people!
I was the girl who could eat anything and not gain an ounce. I was so enviably skinny that they called me a cow.
But oh how the mighty have fallen and now I’m just a cow without the skinny.
So this here is my mission to bring skinny back!
What’s more depressing to look at than a supermodel?
A woman who has popped out a kid or two and still looks more smokin’ hot than you ever did.
I’m just ranting of course.
Its great to see how Sri Lankan women are more into maintaining their appearance.
