Especially to the people who are putting in every effort to reach that healthy goal weight
as well as to those who still haven't quite found the motivation to start yet...
Hopefully this will be of some motivation to help start/continue your journey...
Me in primary 6 (left) & Me in present (right)
Found this photo at my grandparents' house and confiscated it
hahaha, hows nostalgic :)
every now and then I still wonder,
what gave me the determination to actually kick start on my journey
the initial part is always the most difficult
finding the courage to take the first step...
doing your homework definitely helps.
Google had been an extremely helpful platform to solve my woes on losing weight
you'll be blown away by the number of forums, research, articles you can find on the web
and realise that there are tons of people out there who are stuck in the same situation as you!
who are willing to provide information through personal experiences & support for one another
You are never alone. Do not be afraid.
Healthy Living is a journey and we are in it together.
Eat clean. Move more. = Improve mood. Boost confidence. Feel good.
By eating clean,
I mean cutting down on refined, heavily processed man-made products
e.g. white bread/rice/flour, junk food, sugary drinks
& foods that contain ingredients you can't pronounce
By moving more,
I mean putting in just a little more everyday to walk that extra distance
park further away from the life, take the longer route, stand up & take a stroll
climb some stairs (escalators are meant to help us save time, not to be lazy!)
every little effort counts.
if a food lover like me can do it, so can you
haha eating clean doesn't mean giving up on good delicious food!
it just require some smart choice-making ;)
and moving more doesn't mean going to the gym to strain yourself every other day
intensive exercise isn't for everyone, esp not to those who are dead tired after a long day of work
Chinese New Year is around the corner!
CNY goodies and snacks are everywhere
and no, I'm not banning them or gonna preach to you why you should NEVER eat them
but do practice some self-control and not eat mindlessly.
will eating 1 pineapple tart or 2 make a difference?
sometimes we just have to satisfy our craving for its taste & not actually to fill our hunger
so do save some tummy space for the other foods :)
If it's possible, cook and eat at home or someone's else house
Homemade food are always healthier & more delicious!
it's also a great bonding activity for friends and families ^^
HAPPY PROSPEROUS CHINESE NEW YEAR.
new year. new beginnings.
Till next time.
♥, Kylie
