One of the secrets of life is to make stepping stones out of stumbling blocks.

54.3 kg (119.71 lbs)
---------BMI 20.7---------
weight lost: 1.4 kg (3.09 lbs)
weight to lose: 6.3 kg (13.89 lbs)

Losing again after such a long time means I'm winning again. I never thought a diet like this would work (especially since all the pounds I dropped before were the result of starving myself-- water and coffee only fasts), but here is what I have been up to these three days:

breakfast: a cup of coffee with a little bit of milk (20 cal max)
lunch: a cup of soup/ one plate of pasta/ one slice of pizza 
(I draw the line at 300 cal)
dinner: half of an orange

I was feeling somewhat weak today, so I had a chocolate/ oatmeal snack (not realizing oats have a zillion calories) so I'll probably end up being a lot over my limit today, but I'll be better tomorrow.

Oh, and I started going to the park and playing badminton with my mom, which also means a nice bonding time, being outside, and exercising. I am getting down to 48 kg (105 lbs), I am. I love you, darlings. Hope you've been doing well and getting as close to you goals as possible.

I read this somewhere, and will do my best to make it happen:

June has 30 days: each day can bring you a step closer to your goal, or push you a step back.
30 chances to fall, or to succeed. Let's succeed.

The key is to free ourselves from the past. 
It is possible: let's try. Let's succeed.

I love you so much, sweethearts.

Lu.

  2. OMG what a lovely post! Gorgeous photos AS USUAL, and I loved the Seth Godin quote about self-sabotage, it's so true! And you're right about 30 chances to succeed or fail. Carpe Diem! RaeLynn
