Day 1: No clue what to do!

Day 1 of the ultimate weight challenge AND my folks decided to order KFC for lunch! Can you imagine my pain??? I have been so mentally synced to just try and try to be focused... and having to eat tomatoes and carrots while the rest of my siblings devour Kentucky fried chicken pieces that are crispy to the core is jussssst GRRRRRR!

I mean can YOU resist this?

Well, back to day 1, I finally got down to planning what I'm supposed to do. Have you ever heard of this lemon and honey magic trick that makes u lose weight? Well, I just did. Apparently if you drink this concoction, it promotes a cleanse in your body!! 

I don't know how true it is, I'm just starting out! But what i CAN tell you is I felt kinda cleansed after drinking it.. You know that "healthier than thou feeling"? My grandmother swears by it apparently so I'm going to bring this in to my routine! (For your benefit, the simple yet impt recipe is below.)

I've finally gotten down to joining a gym! Do i hear applause? :D I was mighty proud of myself! 

Well, Lets hope things work out! 

Detox lemon water

3 small lemons or 1 large lemon
1 tablespoon of honey
Warm water.

Mix it all together and drink it!

A precaution though, do not overdose on the lemon. It promotes too much acidity in your tummy.

Cheers folks!

Why I cannot lose weight!

This is why I simply cannot lose weight!

I love waffles. I love ice cream. I love the decadent, mouthwatering taste of warm waffles with melted ice cream paired with the tang of fresh berries!!! 

AND yes!!, I would have them every single day if I could!!!

Is your mouth watering too? 

SIGH! How am i ever going to accomplish the ultimate weight loss challenge?

Day 0: Embarking on the Ultimate Weight Challenge!

Its the 24th of April, 2013.
And today is the day I start my Ultimate Weight Challenge.

The goal        -   Loss 20 Pounds
The duration -  1 Year
End date       -  25th April 2014

I've looked in the mirror every day of the past few years and hated the figure staring back at me. I know I'm overweight. There is no denial there but just, perhaps, I've given everything else more importance than the way I look. Or maybe, I'm just lazy.

Ultimately, its all excuses! Excuses, excuses, EXCUSES!.

I'm freaking 23 years old! Its my time to party, look good and enjoy life. Yet I'm stuck in a world where knee length is the highest my dresses go coz of the chubby thighs.

So I've finally decided to get round to changing everything about the way I look. I read it here just how creating accountability really helps in goal setting and getting things accomplished. The entire key is to set goals but make people aware of your goals. You are now accountable to them. I am now accountable to all the readers of this blog and to my family and friends!

Just a few days ago, I told my mom that i was thinking of starting a weight loss routine. My mother looked terribly dubious. Her reply was simple "You may hate the way you look, but you love good food more!" Grrrrrr! Sad but true! :S

I simply CANNOT diet or starve myself! I love food and I love to cook. Whats worse is that I hate those detox smoothies my mom insists I take. Full on confusion!

AND yes, I'm off to meet a dietitian, get enrolled in a gym and properly formulate my weight loss plan! To be honest, I have no idea in the least on what I intend to do... :S
I just have to lose this weight!

Any suggestions?! What do you do when you have kilos to lose? Are you just waiting to start a weight loss challenge for yourself?

(Please do excuse the fact that there are no photographs or facts as of yet! Its still Day0! :) )
