How to Lose 7 Pounds in 7 Days

After the holidays, I gained 12 freaking pounds! Imagine that! I was on my way to losing weight last December 2010 but was disrupted by the holiday season because of “OH SO MANY PARTIES” where there is SO MUCH FOOD! And so pictures were uploaded from our parties and I saw myself with a bloated face and arms. So I panicked! It was dreadful. My face looked so round that I wouldn’t dare tagging myself on ‘em.

So I had to do something. I thought of using my treadmill in the house but it could be so boring. So I decided to jog outdoors. I decided to schedule a jogging time every day, including Sundays and Saturdays, for at least 2 hours. I jog at a sports center where fresh air is purely breathed. I started to jog last January 03, 2011 around 5 in the afternoon and ended at around 7pm. I weighed 155 pounds that day. So up until now, I never missed to jog every day. I have work from 8am until 4pm which could be stressful too; so jogging really helps relieve stress as well.

Before we move along, let’s talk about diet. Yes! Diet is like a weapon – when used properly, it can be very effective. Along with the everyday jogging, this is what I eat. I wake up around 6 in the morning and I do my stretching. Then I prepare my breakfast, which is cereals. Yes! A glass of milk and a bowl of cereals. That’s it! Then for lunch, I have one to two cups of rice and any kind of vegetables or fish. But recently, I eat red meat for lunch at least twice in a week. But let’s go back in losing 7 pounds in just 7 days. So let’s omit the meat first. For dinner, I only eat fruits. Nothing more nothing less. Two pieces of oranges or an apple is enough and two glasses of any flavor of juice. Keep this in mind: STRICTLY NO IN-BETWEEN MEALS! Meaning – no snacks or whatsoever! JUST WATER! Make sure to drink water all day long! But if you can’t help it, grab an apple! And take note, I sleep early around 10pm or 11pm so I can get up early in the morning.

January 08, 2011 was my seventh day! From 155 pounds, I weighed 148 pounds! So I lost 7 pounds in 7 days! I just continued my routine every day. Today is January 10, 2011. I weighed myself and I am now 143 pounds! I just lost 5 more pounds in just two days! That’s what I call a miracle with effort and discipline! I feel better, prettier and healthier. My target is to weigh 120 pounds at the end of the month! So we’ll see! Why 120? Because that’s my ideal body weight!

So if you too want to lose weight then do what I do! It’s a matter of lifestyle!
