Last christmas vacay before leaving home, I weighed myself and I was at a tip of 52 kgs. That information sounds nice, I am looking forward to maintain it, besides we planned to stay only for 6 days in our hometown as my man is about to beat some yearender deadline.
When we came back....after much fuss of unpacking, I weighed myself again only to find out I gained not 1 but 4 kg. Waah! I was whooping 56 kg by Dec 26, that was a Thursday. Ouch! And I can't even run till Saturday. Aside from the fact that I don't have a nanny...I got pestering blisters on my feet, courtesy of kindred allergy.
Come saturday I was itching to run...so I decided to go on a fitness journey. I dared myself do fitness activity everyday in the hope to slash back those extra pounds from the holiday. This blog entry is dedicated to my journey to14 days of fitness.
I documented that 10 days challenge to fitness through instagram with a hashtag #dayXchallenge (where X indicates the day progress).
My photo ops lasted 11 days but total work out days from Dec 29 is 14 days.
And on January 12- I did only 2 kms at stationary bike. I think it would be indecent to count it in my instagram photo-ops considering it was actually my first official break.
I weighed myself again Jan 13, tipped at 53 kgs.
And couldn't lose anymore...it would be unsafe for my upcoming marathon race.
Now, I conclude 3 kgs is worth about 14 days of workout, sweat and mental challenge. I could quit anytime but I kept telling myself do it at least more than 10 days. Lol!
Yeah...am crazy. I can't help it...I love being mobile!
