Short term goal achieved and gift received!!! - I will post the photo soon :)
No pain, no gain!

Rewards to keep us motivated

I have read in several fitness blogs about how to reward yourself when you achieve your short term goals.. We gain twice: we spoilt ourselves with some gift and see the weight going down!

I chose a new gym bag , a really cool and fancy one... I also asked my boyfriend to give it to me and he agreed to... so when my weight is 63kg, I will get this gift!

I am also thinking how to reward myself when I get to 60 kg....

63.5kg!!! And counting down....

Quick post, not much to say.. I am too sore due my exercises, but pain is good! Mainly when we can see the results :)

I am under 25. Are you?

Nah, I am not talking about age... I am talking about The Body Mass Index (BMI).

My current BMI is 24.62. To find out yours, do the following calculus: Weight/Height²

These are the BMI categories:

• Underweight = <18.5
• Normal weight = 18.5-24.9
• Overweight = 25-29.9
• Obesity = BMI of 30 or greater

So, according to these categories, I have a normal BMI. What about you?

It is obvious that if you are a body builder/weightlifter you are heavier than a normal person, so your BMI will be > 25. However this extra weight you have is muscle, not a big flab!

I am busy and building...

Hey everyone, I have been busy the last couple of weeks.. traveling again and working out (a lot)!

My goal is build muscles! Muscle burn a lot of calories, so if I have more muscles I burn more calories, just doing nothing, just existing and being awesome !!!

To build these lovely muscles, I need good quality food and good work out.

My meal nowadays is mainly based on low fat protein and vegetables. Also carbohydrates part of my daily intake, however I usually have the low GI ones (whole meal pasta, rice and bread) because the low GI food makes you l feel fuller for longer between meals.

More information about low GI food, check the http://www.glycemicindex.com web site.

My work out is split in two parts: Weights and aerobic exercises. I have already tried just having the aerobic ones and I didn't lose any weight. Building muscles and increasing our metabolism is the key for being fit.

Hooray, New banner :) !!!
