It's not just a matter of willpower, perseverance, determination and commitments. As a married woman with not-so-normal working hours, trying to sustain anything new is more than demanding. (In fact, I blame my working hours for all that extra pounds)
Of course, I have to admit that it will be a lot harder if I have children running around.
I could only manage to make the apple and cinnamon drink for two consecutive days and did workouts for three days in a row. Doing the workouts made me feel good, not only because the body got its much-needed stretching but also the mind could see its plans are being put into motion, thus relieving the guilt burden from the heart.
Without a "personal trainer" or "cheerleader" and only this blog to act as a constant reminder, I feel the need to do something everyday that will help me work towards my weight loss objective, while still keeping in mind the First Commandment of Weight Loss.
And so, I improvised! Out went the pepper and in went the cinnamon! Straight onto that slice of ham that I put in my sandwich, made up of wholemeal bread, buttercup lettuces, red capsicum and Japanese cucumber.
I had that for breakfast. I felt so good that I made the same thing again for dinner.
Dash, dash, in goes the cinnamon, and all its natural goodness and power of increasing metabolism.
Sorry pepper, I like you, but in a crisis, we need to take serious actions. And I most probably would have to repeat this strategy several times again, hope you understand.
Note: Heard that red capsicum is also good for increasing metabolism and burning calories, without increasing heart rate and blood pressure. That's why I had chosen the passionate red fiery ones!
