So this Friday was another milestone, I reached day 200 of running every single day. I have put up a picture of my progress to date. Here's the older picture, see how I was much smaller then 

---> Old Progress Report  <---I have learnt many things on this journey. One very important lesson however is that results don't come overnight. Sometimes you slip up and all yesterday's hard work is wiped away with one unwise decision. The best thing to do is:

•  Take control of the situation. 
• Make a conscious decision to make up for time lost
• Work Twice as hard as before
• Persist. Persist. Persist.

Set Goals. Achieve Them.

I constantly have a conversation with someone who would ask me how long I'm on a diet for and I always respond with something along the lines of:

People are sometimes under the impression that to lose weight takes a great deal of effort for the next few weeks but then afterwards you can relax , but that's not how it works. If you have battled with your weight and want to either lose or gain weight you have to make a complete lifestyle change. Staying away from your favorite desserts is not something I would encourage. Instead have less of it or allocate an 'off day' where you can indulge (not overly) in your favorite foods. Making a lifestyle change should never feel like a job, but you must make the sacrifice. If you keep eating the same things and leading the same lifestyle you're not going to lose that weight. 

Take control, make the sacrifice and make it last.

Even with the exercise make it a part of your everyday living.

Firstly I apologize, I realize that there are some of you who read this blog regularly and this week I forgot to update fitness Friday on time.  *awkward* hmmm um okay let's get into it then. We'll call it Strength Saturdays lol nuh it's still Fitness Friday but on a Saturday morning.

Personal Perspective: This week I reached a personal milestone on Wednesday 24th October 2011. It was the 100th day!!! where I take a jog on a daily basis!! So 100 days continuously every single day whether it rained, stormed, hailed I laced up and took a jog because I want to reach my goal as bad as I would wanna breath if someone held me under water (Video reference). It feels unreal that I got this far, but I'm still very far from my goal. I'm not on a diet I've decided to make this my lifestyle, living healthy that is. 

In case you were wondering how I did it, I got some help along the way. Every single day I'd read motivational posters to remind me why I need to take a run today. Below I've shared some of these posters:

The first one is my favorite and I used it on Wednesday. Sometimes when we reach a  goal we feel like we deserve a reward. So after I completed a 5km run on Wednesday, I rewarded by body with an extra 5km run

Exercise has never been the enemy.
