Melting 3kgs in 5 days!

I’ve written this blog, to motivate myself to do some self-care and keep up with my diet. Here is the story:

First Day of Diet — Breakfast

November 17th

Review 👀

1. Realizing only 6 weeks left until 2020 ends!
2. Realizing in the past 4 years, I’ve gained 10 Kilos. [ But my size remained the same 😁 ]
3. Realizing I’m starting to worry about my weight.
4. Realizing I’ve dropped from 3x CrossFit sessions a week to 1x workout a week.
5. Realizing I have to do something about it.

November 18th

Plan 🗓

1. Google around some crazy diets.
2. Pick one that kinda makes more sense.
3. Set a goal to “shock” the body for a couple of days.
4. Drink way more water [ Yeah I’m one of those that drinks too less ]
5. Minimize the carbs and get back to the “Salad + Chicken” habit at night.
6. Try to get back on track to work out and doing more cardio.

November 19th onwards

2. I’m more hungry with my eyes than my stomach 😁
3. Snacking is 💩
4. I can survive still with roughly 600 Calories 💀
5. Having 🍎 in each meal helps to fill your stomach so eventually, you eat less
6. I should appreciate running more 🏃🏻‍♀️

And mission accomplished 🤩
