Hello today fellow growers. I haven\u2019t done a weight loss blog in a while so I figured I\u2019d fill you in on it today. But before I get into it, how have you been doing with your weight loss goals? (Because everyone<\/em> has weight loss goals.)<\/p>\n I\u2019ve been doing okay. Remember how I wrote before that I have that 7 week challenge to just keep doing my current routine and see how much progress I make. Well, I\u2019m at the beginning of week 6 already and I\u2019ve got to say, I\u2019m not overjoyed.<\/p>\n Don\u2019t get me wrong. It\u2019s a stellar routine. It\u2019s got the right balance. Just taxing enough that I have to convince myself to do it every day, optimal in the sense that now, even when I feel reluctant to get on with it, I literally cannot rest easy until I have done it. So psychologically speaking, it\u2019s become the habit I\u2019ve been trying to get it to become for months. (Yep, I\u2019m back on the bandwagon people\u2026T.T I\u2019m so happy!!!)<\/p>\n Basically the routine is just right. I can do it every day without burning out and it still wrings me out every time. However the, the reason I\u2019m not jumping on any couches yet is this. While I have had significant weight loss thus far, it\u2019s hardly a beach body. Heck! My belly, while significantly smaller now, is still there!<\/p>\n I\u2019ll admit, I had hoped to have made more progress than this, I mean with all the discipline I\u2019ve built up, but I can be patient.(the discipline I what I lacked initially anyway, so now I have it, it will be easier for me to work with.) And It\u2019s not like I was going to quit working out once the\u00a0 7 week period was up, I\u2019ll just have to set another deadline I guess. But before I jump to taking such measures, first I\u2019ll see this thing through to the end. Let\u2019s see what this body looks like next week on Saturday. (Because Sundays are my cheat days)<\/p>\n Still, it\u2019s important to count my blessings and acknowledge what I\u2019ve achieved so far. My clothes are looser and baggier, my makeshift under arm wings are starting to vanish and I have a thinner waist now. Oh and also, my legs are much more toned now. And I\u2019m happy about these for now and I\u2019ll keep going.<\/p>\n Even as I do this though, I\u2019ve been lately been considering my routine going forward once this 7 week period is over. My current routine is good, but I definitely can\u2019t say I\u2019m working every muscle in my body. And so I\u2019m in a situation where I\u2019m trying to decide if should risk disrupting the balance I\u2019ve built in this routine by adding new exercises to cater for this loss (for instance, I\u2019ve been feeling like my routine could use\u00a0 a little more weight training because I do a lot less of it than cardio and abs)<\/p>\n Or should be patient and stick with my routine while it\u2019s still working until the day I can complete it without breaking a sweat. (Because, while it\u2019s easier for me now that I\u2019ve done it for a while, I still feel its stress while I work out, which means it\u2019s still good\u2026 right?)<\/p>\n Or alternatively, I could just modify what I\u2019m doing now to make it a little more difficult. (But this would mean that I would more or less be building just the muscles same I\u2019m already using and not really working on the neglected ones. I don\u2019t know)<\/p>\n I also wanted to get into dance workouts (you know, for the flexibility and overall stability id get from all that movement, hehehe, and not to mention dance floor swag! :p)\u00a0 but considering the situation, I don\u2019t know when I\u2019ll be able to do this.<\/p>\n But I won\u2019t give up hope. I mean at my growing endurance level, I could probably work it all into my work out schedule in the near future. By the end of this year probably, so I won\u2019t stress too much about it.<\/p>\n \u00a0Other stuff I\u2019ve been doing for weight loss includes drinking lots of acv (Apple Cider Vinegar) water. (Also wonderful for the skin by the way) And ginger water too (my mom\u2019s been trying to get me to take this with cinnamon and honey. Apparently it\u2019s also very beneficial. But cinnamon only tastes good in wheat products from my experience and I\u2019ve never really been a honey person. I don\u2019t know. ) But you know, if you think about it, the medicine and food that\u2019s really good for you more often than not tends to taste icky. So this is nothing new. (And moms probably right. As usual.)<\/p>\n And finally, that routine I was trying to build up for only eating before 6 o\u2019clock, was kidnapped and murdered by my terrible time keeping tendencies. I\u2019m in the process of trying to salvage it, but in probably going to have to do a giant reset for this, because I don\u2019t want to give up on it.<\/p>\n Anyway, that\u2019s all from me folks. I hope things are going fine on your ends. Remember, it\u2019s always better if you enjoy it rather than dread it.
