The Beginning.....

I started this new blog as I would like to share my weight loss journey in its full honesty!

About 2 and half months ago,  on the 2nd of February,  my husband and I stood on the scales and I got a right shock!
I knew for a while already that I needed to do something about my weight , but never had the motivation to actually start. When the scales showed me that I was going to severe obese, I couldnt ignore it anymore..



My husband and I decided that we would start exercising again before we go to work and start eating only healthy stuff. I took it a step further and said we will start clean eating because just eating more veg and less sugar is not enough for me.

So we started and I suddenly had so much motivation, if I was a total different person!
Every morning for the first 2/3 weeks I stood op at 6AM and did workouts which I got from YouTube.
They were mostly Jessica Smith workouts of 10 minutes , where I did 2 or 3 of them.
Then I started to change my diet significantly.. stopped eating any sugar, changed to honey in coffee and tea, drank at least 2 liters of water during the day and stopped eating carbs at night.

I noticed that I was changing a lot and not necessarily from the outside yet, but from the inside!
I felt I had more energy, was smiling more, had a better posture and felt more confident.

However after a couple of weeks I noticed that this routine was not enough and was still eating too much as I had a very filled smoothie in the morning , warm meal in the afternoon and then again in the evening. I then changed this to a yoghurt in the morning and the smoothie for lunch and a snack in between meals. I still do it like this and it works so much better!

From the moment I started and now I lost 9.3 kilo (20.46 pounds) , and I am feeling so good!!
Unfortunately I only started measuring when I was already a couple of weeks in my journey , but the centimeters changed significantly as well...



My husband is all into graphs and excel, so he made us a cool excel for our measurements per week..








As you notice my waist got suddenly up, as I was measuring above my belly button before ( Cheating and all haha) and then started to be honest and measure on my belly button...

All and all I am a much happier person now with a lot more confidence.
I started to wear make up and fit in some of my skirts and jeans again ( I was beside myself from happiness when I noticed I fit them again!) .



I hope you will follow me throughout the rest of my journey an I hope it motivates you to take the plunge of healthy eating and exercising!

Hasta Luego and Stay Strong!
