To Live Again

I know what it is like to struggle with weight and not live life as it is meant to be. This is my journey to a better, healthier and a stronger life <3

Food Journal

Nom Nom. Just had my dinner (Yea, I know its kinda late). I have been busy all day finishing up some paperwork for my dad's company. And no, I don't get paid for it. >_<

Today was power walk day - did 5.5 kms. I would have jogged except I don't have the stamina for it yet. I should do at least 1 km by the end of this month. Let's see how that goes.

My food journal for today:

Breakfast: Omelette wrap

Lunch+ Dinner: Quinoa with lentils ( I didn't get the time to make anything else, so I ended up repeating quinoa for dinner)

Snack: Papaya and grapes. (I LOVE fruits!)

I'm off to bed now. Peace out. <3

My Life Story

Hello everyone,

This is my first blog ever. I thought I'll start by introducing myself. I am from Toronto and I just completed my undergrad with a major in accounting. I thought of being a CPA, however, it seem to be just a tiny bit difficult to get a job these days. Anyway, I do seem to have plenty of spare time to take up my hobbies and meet up with a few friends that I almost forgot I had with all the fourth year work load and stress. Also, I haven't seen them cause I have been embarrassed to get out of my house with my old clothes not fitting me as well and with all those extra pounds I have on me. In my 5 years of university life, I have gained 45 pounds and I hope to get back in shape now.

So this blog is going to be about my journey of getting back in shape. To be honest, I've tried a million times before, however I have always failed. I believe the reason behind this is yo-yo effects of dieting and my focus on losing weight instead of living a healthier life. In high school I started off with GM diet and I was soo happy with the result. I lost around 10 pounds in one week. I felt soo confident about myself; and I was living a happy life as I could finally fit in my clothes. Few months went by, I went back to my normal routine and gained 20 pounds! Well, I wanted to get back in shape again so I started dieting and working out. I lost around 15 pounds within a month. I was back in shape. But I stopped working out. This has always been my problem. I would start losing weight - I would give up - metabolism would take a huge dip - I'll gain double the weight - I'll start working out again. But after 7 years of this circle, I am sick of it. I've always focused on losing weight but maybe that is where I went wrong. Maybe my focus should've always been to live a healthier life, to be able to eat whatever I want but in moderation while working out daily. So, now I am starting with this new focus in my life. I would work out daily for the rest of my life, even if its just a 20 minute run or jillian's 20 minute workout, so that this time when I loose weight, I get to keep it off me. And I would love all the support I can get from you all. 

This will be my journal of interesting recipes I come across, my exercise routine, and my progress.
