After the heartwarming discussion I had with my Dad concerning my weight loss efforts things have sort of fallen into place. My exercising has been consistent and I'm really paying attention to my food intake. I measure my food and make entries on Myfitnesspal. It really helps because I at least, have a fair idea of how many calories I'm taking in.
I also started doing squats. Trust me when I say it's no joke. Doing overhead squats with the exercise ball helps me work my arms, back and thighs at the same time. I love that cos even with exercise I love to multitask ;-).
My water intake has also increased significantly. It's not even noon and I've almost finished the 1.5L bottle of water sitting on my desk.

And my veggies intake has increased significantly. In addition to the cabbage, lettuce and peppers, I've discovered these.
They consist of peas, carrots, green beans and sweetcorn. I use these because it is more affordable to buy as compared to getting the individual components separately. I do plan on trying the oriental mix version too.
I also decided to take it easy on the scale. I know I said I would post my weekly weigh ins before but, I don't want to discourage myself with a number. Imagine how crazy I would go if after all the hard work the scale doesn't budge. The muscle theory does not really stop me from feeling bad and I would hate to do that to myself. I may weigh in monthly but for now I would like to focus on the good habits I'm redeveloping.
