My journey began when my mother told me I should watch what I am eating..okay she told me i was getting obese. Its a scary thought! Instead of hiding in my corner in my room and eat more , I decided to do something about it. Note that other factors encouraged me to start this fitness regime (moving to city-downtown, health reasons, wanting to feel better (mental & physical)). I started to work out in September 2008 I decided to join a Muay Thai gym.
Muay thai is a old martial art from Thailand by using elements such as knees, lebows, kicks, punch, jab...it is great for conditioning 90 minutes in heat 30 degrees (its not as hot as hot yoga but it can, in the summer). Within a 3 months period I lost 15 pounds while working out 3-4 times a week plus running 2km per week. Dedication and frequent work-out.
I started in September 2008 at 175lbs and today I am 145 lbs and I am currently working with a Nutritionist to lose an additional 20 lbs which is going well. I have a weigh in two weeks for January 16, 2009. Eating healthy is not easy I will talk about it in my next post "healthy eating".
If you started working out create a routine and follow through with it. Find a Nutritionist to talk too and get advice, you will lose more weight if you start with a nutrition diet from the beginning. Your health insurance should cover at least 500 dollars, do your research and get references from a personal trainer or athletes. Do not just sign up with anybody.
