#ButtMustGo is the title I use for my weight loss journey. I'm the kind of chubbster who gets most of her chubb around the bum. I love my bum and I have no body issues but I also don't like becoming fat and unhealthy. I don't like it when I can't fit too nicely into my cute dresses or when I'm getting out of breath or when I have to think about not looking my best in pictures. I loveeee posing for pictures so obviously that is a huge concern. Therefore, I must restart my weight loss efforts now because I have gained some extra weight, especially during this unfortunate Covid quarantine/lockdown time and it has to go. I repeat: It has to go.
In the past I've tried various ways to shed off weight. Mostly I've seen success with a combination of working out and starving myself of all the good stuff. Hahahahaha! No seriously, portion control doesn't work for me as well as simply not eating something does. So that's what I'm planning again; a combination of workout and major major major food control.
Breakfast will be my usual omelet at Fajr (morning prayer) time. After that I'll sleep a bit and then wake up to Chai with a paapa (rusk) around ten-ish. I plan on skipping lunch entirely then. If I get too hungry or I'm doing big time cleaning stuff at home then I'll just grab a bite of chicken from the fridge. But just ONE bite is the max I'll allow myself. Just enough to keep me alive till chai time. Then there shall be Chai again around four. Finally dinner at seven which will be about a quarter to half cup of rice with chicken or daal or veggies, whichever we have that night. After that nothing to eat until the omelet returns at Fajr time the next day.
As far as working out is concerned I will try to shove in an hour on Turby (my treadmill) at least three times a week. Tuesdays and Fridays will be my off days from working out. Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday will all have to have workout sessions depending on whatever chores I have to attend to at home. On the days I am not running on Turby I will be doing exercises on my ball - Bob the Ball. (The ball by the way needs to be replaced with a new one soon! Hahaha!) So Turby and Bob and then heavy duty cleaning and chores at home are the plan.
Most important though is my plan about the weighing scale. NUMBERS have proven to be very demotivating lately. For some reason when I start my weight loss efforts I can SEE the results on my body but when I step on the scale nothing changes. That is just plain sad. So for now I am going to ignore the weighing scale and not focus on numbers at all. I need to stay motivated, not lose hope and give up. So no weighing scale, no numbers, no sadness. The end.
Last time I was at it I used to post monthly updates for #ButtMustGo. I'm not sure I'll be doing that this time, but I think I will report back from time to time. Maybe once I can go off to checking numbers again I can start updating my progress. Lets just take it one day at a time and see how it goes for me. I do have birthdays approaching in November so there will definitely be cheat days but I'll be trying my best to keep the cheat days to a minimum of the birthdays' week. And if all else fails because of the birthday vibes and my love and excitement for birthdays, I'll just vow to start in December or as soon as all the birthday cake finishes! Good luck to me. Now let me go have that one last shortbread cookie before I try to start #ButtMustGo tomorrow! Hahahahaha! I love food, don't judge.
