Today’s early morning kick boxing stats and tonight’s supper. Curling up with a movie and some snacks now. This week has felt approximately 10000 days long. But I got up every morning and worked out, and I’m proud of myself.

Got in a round of body combat this morning. Man, I’ve missed that class. It’s been a few years since I last took it but it’s still just as fun!

Quarantine Reflections #2: On Battling Obesity

It’s Day 26 of quarantine in my country. As a student, our school suspended the class a week earlier so I’m staying at home for around 32 days already! I couldn’t focus with anything during the first weeks so just a week ago when I decided that I’m ready to commit to this process.

I have been gaining weight over the past years due to stress eating AND med school.  But lately, obesity is giving me a lot of discomfort and it has limited my ability to do the things I want to do. This quarantine opened doors for me to better myself first by dropping the excess fat. I’m doing this for myself, and the people who rely on me. Seeing how my siblings rely on me after my mom passed away, motivated me to be healthy. I’m also doing this to serve as a role model to others who are experiencing the same. Obesity is physically, emotionally and mentally debilitating. It’s a risk factor to many conditions. Thus, I want my journey to be an inspiration to others for them to start saving themselves from this condition. 

The Tracker

I went back to using Lose It app in monitoring my intake and calorie burn. It’s the app I was using back in 2012 (i think? lol) when I lost almost 30 kilos. I am using it to track my progress. I have a long way to go. Based on the app, the predicted date for me to achieve my weight goal for this year is around September. Of course, only if I keep on doing my workout and maintaining my calorie intake. 

The Diet

I am not picky with food now that we’re experiencing pandemic but I reduced the calories I’m consuming to 1200 calories a day. I’m just at home so this is more than enough for now. It doesn’t make me feel hungry at all. Doing this calorie restriction is easy now that I’m just staying at home with minimal activities. And during this quarantine, we have limited supply of food so can’t be really picky this time. So my diet isn’t that totally healthy for now but reducing the amount is a big advantage already.

The Workout

My daily workout is Les Mills’ Body combat workout videos. They work for me amazingly! I love its combination of kickboxing and martial arts. It’s the workout I was using before too so it’s not that hard for me. But at first, even I wanted to keep on completing the entire hour, I could only complete around 15 minutes because of my heavy weight. I wasn’t being hard on myself too so if I notice my body couldn't do more, I’ll move forward to doing some stretching and cool down exercises. I do treadmill and elliptical trainer too for at least 10 minutes.

The Motivation

Nothing motivates me more than my own self. I look back to my old photos and got inspired at how I was so eager to lose weight, and how I made it possible. I was 30 kilos overweight and dropped those with consistency. But the stresses I went through made me eat back the pounds. I’m back to that same person now  30 kg overweight woman, unhealthy, unhappy, diffident. BUT I know I can do it again to lose weight for my self, and for the people I love. For now it’s gonna be different, I’ll do it out of self-love and I’ll be kinder to myself throughout the process so that I’ll have a lasting result.

Did my first body combat class today! It kicked my butt (haha, get it?) but it was super fun. Definitely a class I’ll go back to!

It's me time but it's also so much more! It's time to show my babies that there's self-love involved, that there's fun to be had, and that I want them to share self-love to themselves as well! "Don't stop me now I'm having such a good time I'm having a ball Don't stop me now If you wanna have a good time just give me a call Don't stop me now ('Cause I'm having a good time) Don't stop me now (Yes I'm havin' a good time) I don't want to stop at all"
