Surviving Day 1

I downloaded Libra Weight Tracker just to keep my weight in check and i must say it works quite well. What it does is, it keeps a record of your weight, it tells you how much you must lose per week in-order to achieve your goal, it reminds you to weigh yourself each morning and it also shows you your BMI. Below is a sceencapture of my weight values since the 31st of July.

Yesterday, besides weighing, we also measured ourselves to keep track of our centimetres as well during this journey.

Me Oppah
Waist: 98cm 86cm
Hip: 128cm 114cm
Bust: 114cm 96cm
Tummy: 113cm 90cm
Arm: 37cm 30cm
Thigh: 72cm 62cm

I also downloaded Water Your Body for Android to help me with my water intake. The application will tell you how much water you are supposed to drink per day according to your weight. It also reminds you to drink water each our until you've had exactly what you are supposed to drink per day. So as per my weight, i'm supposed to drink 3.1litres of water per day but i only managed to drink 2.5l because my body still has to adjust to that amount of water.

I survived on apples and carrots only. Apparently, i didn't do enough shopping for fruits, only managed to get apples, bananas and strawberries. I began experiencing a headache in the afternoon and it lasted all day.

I craved salty foods all day and each time i did, i would eat a carrot until the craving disappeared.

I went to bed early, around 9pm and i didn't have any trouble sleeping at all.

Day 1 Fruits and Veg Diet

Last Monday when i weighed, i was at exactly 98kg. I've been jogging and eating smaller portions and i've since lost 2kg. As of today, the 12th of August 2013, i weigh 96kg.

Water Fast Prep

For the past three days, i've been trying my best to eat healthy. Been eating salads and sometimes, when the cravings were too much, i would eat meat. I've been managing quite well, i must say. This was all in preparation for my water fast which i intend to start tomorrow.

Last i weighed, Monday last week, i was at 98kg (216lbs) and my goal for now is to get below 200lbs (approx. 90kg). Planning to go for seven days for now,  but if i feel strong enough, i might just continue.

Picking Myself Up

It's been a little over two months since my last post. I was supposed to go on a fast then but i didn't. I don't know what happened. I guess i slipped.

A lot has happened since then. I major thing is i lost my job. Other areas have been picking up though. My love life is perfect right now, my clothing line (Othentiq Couture) is finally about to hit stores and i'm hitting the runway in October at the Fashion Weekend Zimbabwe as a plus-size model.

So, since May to date, i haven't been taking care of my body at all. I've gained 5kg since then, putting me at 98kg(216lbs). Whew, that's a lot. My boyfriend, i call him Sweets, and i have agreed to start taking care of my body again. He bought a new scale for me because the one i had broke. He says no more junk food for me and we are now walking for 2hours, three days a week. He's pushing me and that's just what i  need right now.

Tomorrow i go on a water fast to detox and cleanse my body, before i move on to a vegetarian diet. Will start gym again by end of August. Right now i just need to boost my body and get it used to a change of diet. After all, healthy eating constitutes about 70% of total weight loss.

Tomorrow morning, i'm on it!

Water Fasting Starting Tomorrow

I have been so reluctant to go on a fast for a while now. Each time i told myself i was gonna do it, i ended up not doing it. I was supposed to start my 7 day fast on Monday but i still havent started.

Today, i got a call from somebody who wants me to do some work for them (i'm a plus-size model) and i'm kicking myself in the ass cuz i'm just not in the best shape right now. I might lose this job, all because i've been procastinating!

So, i've decided to start tomorrow without fail. I'm going this route because i desperately need to lose a few inches, especially around my waist, for this job that i just got. I know i can't do it by myself right now so i need you guys to push me and support me. If i can make it through day 1, i know i'll be good enough to continue.

I'm gonna ask you guys to push me real hard. Inbox me, comment, do whatever. I'm gonna put my number here. Those that can Whatsapp me, do that. I badly need to do this guys.

Number is +263 775 067654.

Fit Mondays

I've decided to have what i'll call: Fit Mondays.

29 Days Left...

...and i still havent started exercising or eating healthy. Went out last night and i ended up drinking. Got so drunk that i slept in the car and still had the urge to eat. Ordered fried chicken with fries. Despite the fact that i had too much alcohol, i don't even have a hangover (cool, right!?).

31 Days, 10kg

I'm celebrating my birthday on the 3rd of June, that's a month from today, and one thing that i know is, i don't want to celabrate it at the size and weight that i am today! <--!more-->I must, i need and i will lose a lot of weight before my birthday. I've slated it at about 10kg, leaving me at around 83kg. I don't know how i'm going to achieve that, but i know i will. It means i have to lose an average of 2,5kg per week. If i can do that, and manage to maintain that for the whole month, then i'll be a winner. But we all know it's easier said than done! I'm going to do everything within my power to make it happen. After all, it is MY body. I don't need a miracle, i just need to work hard, taking it one step at a time.

How I Look, At 93kg

It's 3am and i'm having trouble sleeping so what do i do? Blog away..

The Numbers!

I know you all been waiting to find out how many i lost on the Post Easter Detox. I changed offices today and the new one doesn't have internet connection. I have to post using my phone, which is an inconvenient.
