THE JOURNEY TO A HEALTHIER LIFESTYLE CONTINUES..........

For the last seven weeks I have been hitting the gym for not less than one hour every five days of the week and I am happy to report that changes are noticeable. Not that the journey has been easy but I pride in the fact that I have the commitment to achieve my desired goal (to be under 90kgs) by the end of the year. My work out plan has mainly focused on aerobics sessions which comprise of body toning routines, abs workouts, step exercises, zhumba dancing, tae bo among other routines. Upon completion of the one hour aerobics session, I spend another thirty or so minutes doing some weights reps.
On this journey, I have encountered some challenges which may have hampered my desire to loose more weight on a weekly basis but that notwithstanding I am happy of the progress made. One of the challenges I have faced is the temptation to indulge in some not so healthy cuisine. Like I pointed out in my earlier post, my appetite goes on the overdrive when a nicely prepared meal is set in front of me and the result is that I tend to eat a bigger portion than is desirable. I am also a lover of pizza and more so with a sizable topping of cheese and as you all know this is not a healthy meal. I have however restrained from visiting any fast food joints during this period and most of my meals are now home cooked. I have also tried as much as possible to control the portions of my food intake on any of my meals in the day with my lunch consisting mainly of fruits.
