About the Blog of the Loser of Weight
W A R N I N G:
This blog contains pictures of my flawed body in the flesh.
For the sake of your safety, I’ve placed a password on every post which displays a picture of my imperfection.

INTRODUCTION
Hello.
I am trying to lose weight and my “love handles” and I have started this blog to motivate myself and as a form of documentation.
As of 8th Feb 2010, I’m 26 years old, weighing at 78 kg (slowly making its way to the 80 kg mark) and standing at 1.70m. This makes me 10 kg over what should have been my ideal weight.
I do weight exercises quite often while cardio exercises are done at a minimum, because I hate to jog/run. This odd exercise routine left me a bulky body with a “spare tyre” around my waist. My friends often wonder, out loud, why do I go to gym so often to carry a bunch of weights for a few hours and then still end up with that nasty buldge around my waist? That’s a waste of time.
And after given some thoughts on that matter, I’ve decided that they’re right and it’s time to do something about it.
They say that to achieve your goal easier, you need to plan ahead, do some goals setting and break the big goal down into little ones. Though it may sounds easy, I never had the patience or discipline to follow through. This, I hope, will change.
GOAL SETTING
Long-term goal: Lose that excess 10 kg and more (a nicely defined 6 packs will be nice too, thank you very much).
Short-term goals:
- Cardio exercise at least 4 times a week, 45 mins each session
- Eat everything in moderation, no more soft drinks/ supper
- Keep a record of what I eat at every meal
Things I’m not going to do are…
- Count calories (don’t know how and couldn’t really be bothered)
- Sell any products or services for weight loss to you
- Offer any advice to anybody regarding weight loss. Please seek advices from professionals.
That’s about it.
Please navigate with the calendar on your right and hope that you will enjoy the read.
Update on 18th July 2011!
It’s been a year and 5 months since I’ve started this journal. I didn’t keep to my goals consistently enough and I’m lack of self discipline. One can lose quite a bit of weight within a year and 5 months, with hard work and proper nutrition.
I am ashamed of myself.
I have been experiencing these slight chest discomfort lately, pretty sure they are warning signals from my body. Got this feeling that if I don’t start taking care of myself now, my health will be going downhill from here on.
Today’s 18th July 2011, Monday. Let’s see how things proceed from today onward. Wish me luck!
