Also I tried on some of my goal clothes, well one i was pleasantly surprised with, I could get it over my butt no problem, it was juts the belly stopping me from wearing them...dammit, the other pair, well not so much, I could barely get it over my butt and not even all the way, no way I could even think of doing them up...sigh....here's the pictures to prove....
Please excuse the mess in the room as well, i'm trying to clean and move things and I have sooo much stuff! ANYWAYS Yes that is the state of my overhang which brings me shame, It's horrible, I know guys out there, very few like stuff like that, but I don't!!!! Anyways, first pair of shorts are a size 18 BUT they're actually the same measurements of a 16 and the bottom pair are a size 14.....Now, I'll take it as a win that I could get the both that far but still a long way away from wearing them out!
I'll be starting a 12 week programme on the 27th, now, i'm not going to completely follow it because well, I do things my way. It's a low GI thing that puts your body into alkaline and all that jazz, shows you can eat your cake but balance it out etc. It will have monthly weigh ins, measurements etc and I get to have fat scans done....I think i'm going to cry XS eeeps. I never realized what having your body in alkaline could do for you.....but I refuse to cut out meat! I will eat leaner meat, but I will not cut it out!!!! No way no how! anyways.....Here's some pointers i've found out about how to get your body alkaline....
Acidity has been linked to pain, excess weight and many other health issues. Fortunately, making your body more alkaline (the opposite of acidic) is easy. Here are 10 ways to alkalize your body for more energy and vitality:
1. Start your day with a large glass of water with the juice of a whole, freshly-squeezed lemon. While lemons may seem acidic, they have the opposite effect on your body as it metabolizes them.
2. Eat a large green salad tossed in lemon juice and olive oil. Greens are among the best sources of alkaline minerals, like calcium.
3. Snack on raw, unsalted almonds. Almonds are packed with natural alkaline minerals like calcium and magnesium, which help to balance out acidity while balancing blood sugar.
4. Drink an almond milk and berry smoothie with added green powder like spirulina, chlorella, or other greens. Choose almond milk over cow’s milk, since the latter is acid-forming.
5. Go for a brisk walk or some other exercise. Exercise helps move acidic waste products so your body can better eliminate them.
6. Breathe deeply. Ideally, choose a spot that has fresh, oxygen-rich air. And, sorry Febreze, Glade, and all the other so-called “air fresheners”: air filled with these scents is not what I’m talking about here.
7. Go meat-free for a day… or longer if you like. During the metabolism of meat, there is an acid residue left behind.
8. Skip the sugar-laden dessert or soda. Sugar is one of the mosyogt acidic foods we consume. You need over 30 glasses of neutral water just to neutralize the acidity of ONE can of soda.
9. Add more veggies to your diet. No, potatoes don’t count. But sweet potatoes are a good choice (provided you’re not slathering them in sweeteners or butter). Asparagus, squash, peppers, and other vegetables are also excellent choices.
10. Sprout it out. Add more sprouts to your daily diet. They are extremely alkalizing and supercharged with nutrients and energy-boosting enzymes.
Now, I don't plan on doing half these things, possibly a few of these things may happen and I'll see what kind of change happens....it'll be interesting to see. This for me isn't just a way to lose weight, i'm experimenting on how to be healither and what works well! I think i'm going to try and drink the lemon juice in water thing first....although, I really don't like lemons :(
