Day 5/100 of the Fitness/Health Challenge - RESULTS! Lost 1.8kg / 3.9lb
Sit back and let me show you my results, and once again look at my sexy body, just kidding.
RESULTS!
Measurements and Weight
Can only get better from here, I can promise day 10 will be easier on the eyes. :-P
Breakfast
Lunch
We ended up at a Korean restaurant where I ordered some lovely Gamja-tang with rice and kimchi. Gamja-tang or pork back-bone stew is a spicy Korean soup made from the spine or neck bones of a pig. It often contains potatoes, cellophane noodles, dried radish greens, perilla leaves, green onions, hot peppers and ground sesame seed.
It might not have been the healthiest but the mood was light and I was hungry! Will have a small dinner to make up for the large lunch. The Gamja-tang was absolutely delicious! Highly recommended if you ever visit South Korea
Dinner
Fast and easy.
Exercise
Meal Planning and shopping
Day 5 - Done and Dusted
To all my followers, I know you don't always upvote but I know Steemit is full of posts and it's hard to follow everything. To those who upvote, thank you so much! You might not know it, but it's hard for me to stay motivated. Steemit has made it so much easier for me and without it, I fear I might have given up already. High fives and lots of love to all of you!
Steem on Stemians!
Damn I'm jealous I just recently dropped about 40 pounds. I wish I had done an awesome documentation of it like you have. Good luck! Keep at it! I found in my journey that your weight loss is majorly effected by snacking after you eat dinner.
40 Pounds! Well done! What was your initial weight if you don't mind me asking? That is still great results. Did you exercise? I tend to stay away from all snacks. Popcorn is my weakness though, but I only get it when I go to the cinema so luckily that's not too often. Thanks for your kind words!
I went from 220 pounds to around 175 pounds. So like 99 kg to 79 kg. Yes I excerised 20 minutes a day, 5 days a week. I used the olliptical at the gym. Its a machine thats like half running, half biking.
Oh my that's insane! It's like 20% of you! Hope you are keeping it off! Great job mate. Will you continue to lose more or are you happy with your current self? I think as long as you ate happy then let it be what it is. Really good job though!
At this point i'm working on gaining muscle. I've ended all cardio and started to do heavy lifting 5 days a week. I bought an awesome body composition scale that tracks muscle weight and body fat. So now my weight is going back up but my body fat remains the same. I also eat a very clean diet. Most nuts, lean proteins, whey & vegetables.
Dude! Blog that! I will follow the hell out of it! Curious about that machine you speak of.
I usually burned around 400 calories in 20 minutes
That much? Sounds almost too good to be true. Must have been a hell of a workout!
in economics term...you are suffering a loss of "fat"....hahahaha...but gain your health...upvote and resteem for your effort...cheers..
Thanks mate! Appreciate it!
u r welcome...dude...keep it up...
What you're doing is very inspirational. It's going to happen for you.
I couldn't sleep after my post. Instead I was lying in bed, feeling motivated and thinking how can I improve my account. I checked my phone, 2 votes... Then I voted for myself. 2 Votes! As long as I believed in me and someone else did. I'm not alone... I got out of bed and decided to go for a morning cycle (around 5:20am here). Cycled and then went to an outdoor gym in the mountains that I once hiked. I was amazed at how many old Korean folk there were. I am not lying if I say at least 50. All doing there stretching and exercises. I felt terrible, they can do more than I can. A 60 year old doing pull-ups... I decided, I could either be lazy and feel pity for myself or I can man up. I chose the latter. I went at those machines like a dog at a bone. I was sweating and breathing heavily. Eventually took a walk to cool down and then head home. I got home and saw I got one more follower. Whoohoo! Then I saw a reply from you. As I was about to reply I looked at my upvotes. My mouth fell open and I honestly thought it's impossible. Must be a mistake, refreshed my page and then almost started crying and felt humbled by what this site can do for someone. THANK YOU. From the deepest part of my soul THANK YOU. To all of you! I'm going to fall asleep hoping this isn't a dream.
This motivated me to explainable extends. For me and for you guys, I will get in shape, I will be fit, I will stop drinking and I will share it all with you as a thank you. If I could motivate only 1 person out there my heart will be filled with joy. Sorry for this long reply but I'm still rather shocked.

You are an athlete!
Very good job. Be very careful though, the problem with these challenges is that have an ending. You're doing a very good job, but please always remember that a healthy lifestyle doesn't have an ending. Keep up the good work and much respect to you!
