End of October
October 26: 182 Lbs.
(82 kg) I took some pictures (will post them when I lost enough weight to be able to compare)
I also measured my "curves" (I used a flexible meter)
Waist: 92 cm, hips: 106 cm, breast: 106 cm (I need to lose cms everywhere !!!) One thigh : 64 cm, calf: 42 cm (40 cm left), arm (biceps): 36 cm (33 cm left)
I measure 5'4'', 164 cm. BMI= 31= obesity. Just checked: my normal weight should be 130 lb, so 52 lbs to lose. (25 kg !)
Since few days, I am willing to go ahead again and am motivated to lose. I started by eating soups and light in the evening. Now I try to eat balanced lunch and skip the snack in the afternoon for a coffee.
Today, for example, I had a regular breakfast, cereals with milk and a coffee, a plate of sushi, half a plate of edamame and half a plate of steamed veggy dumplings for lunch, and a watercress soup for dinner.
I started to workout again: today 15 min abs intense program. I am sooooooo out of shape ! how could I have done that to myself ??
Inside workout program when I am not walking outside during the day, with one day off per week. Not too harsh on myself.....
And second day of abs workout ! It's hard :(
Today (27) spinach sandwich and zucchini soup tonight.
October 28: 182 Lbs. A Pho for lunch and a zucchini soup for dinner with a yogurt. No workout (went out tonight), it is raining, no walk either.
October 29: 181.9 lbs. walked today. A spinach sandwich with a kiwi for lunch. dinner at my friend's: tomato/quinoa soup, a green salad with radish, a Tibetan tea. I am very hungry in the evening....

October 30, 31: 181 Lbs.
I feel not missing sugar so much finally....I eat very reasonably, soups in the evening. At the Halloween party, we got dinner before with steamed mini dumplings, then I had bites of lot of little things from the buffet: slices of BBQ zucchinis, blueberries, little crostini with salmon mix... But I have to confess that I drunk: a glass of Vodka/grapefruit juice for dinner, then 2 big glasses of vodka/cranberry during the evening. I was pretty good after....:)

October 23...
Today 183 Lbs. I feel maybe less hungry and enjoy soups in the evening. Still walking every week once in the woods.
October 24 : 182 Lbs !!!! It looks like on the good way ! This is the soup effect.....Going to buy more vegetables to continue that way. Globally, I found myself not eating too much sugar anymore, and eating less in the evening (a soup and salad or yogurt or something light) If only it could continue slowly that way until I go back to 150 Lbs.... That means 32 Lbs to lose (32 weeks, 8 months or 16 weeks, 4 months)
1 Lbs = 455 gr, 2 Lbs = 910 gr, less than 1 kg, possible in 1 week.
Going to walk today, despite a bad weather, gray and cold.

September 2015....
I have been sick, suffering from gallbladder issues, and postponed the start of my workout program. Then, the day I wanted to go to the pool for a complete day of swimming and relaxing, I got the pic of my period...
So, I am now just starting slowly: 10 min abs + plank every night.
As for the diet, I try to find the best way not to starve and to cut on sugar and gluten and increase fruits, veggies and proteins....
Today, Labor day, September 7, 2015: 186 Lbs (I gained 7 Lbs this Summer) that 's a dramatic assessment.

August 24 week
I am preparing the bed of the coming diet....I drastically reduce my intake and select what I eat now.
I prepared some raw spring rolls (small, 6 per meal), drink again my Tibetan tea... Will sign at the gym next week.
And I will have to weight myself....:(
I ate my spring rolls again today, with tea, and went into the woods for a long walk up and down the hill along the river. I feel my muscles worked ! Great feeling. I walked probably around 3 miles (4.8 km) Tonight, I was starving ! so I quickly prepared a mushrooms omelet, some blueberries and half a grapefruit, with a thin slice of whole grain bread and a piece of dark chocolate.
Wednesday, again long walk in the woods. I prepare a big salad with green salad, avocado, heart of palm, mango, asparagus and smoked salmon, with whole grain toasts.

August 20
Alone home now after a while..... This week, I got rid of all the sweets that were left in my house: marshmallows, chocolate, chocolate cake, muffins, chocolate croissants, whipped cream.... I brought everything to my work place and everything just disappeared ! too cool.
I also started to be more careful on what I eat. I just got sushi, salads and lot of drinks. Going to start exercising again, since I want to sign at the gym again. And continue controlling more what I eat.
Here a memory of my last vacation in Florida....

The return !!!!
I have been away again with all these back and forth of stupid and incompetent platforms, but I hope this one will be a good one.
Starting again this diet/health blog just to support my quest to a healthier and better life in a country where 2/3 of people are obese or overweight. I don't want to be one of them.
I developed along the years this love for outdoors, hiking and trekking, camping, biking, kayaking. that I would love to share with you, as well as the difficulty to navigate in this world full of cliche, of superficial people and of virtual things.
Let's start again with a difficult beginning: I weight 180 Lbs this morning for 5.5' . BMI: 30 (well, yes, obsesity case !)
There is no excuse. No excuse to say stop. No, I won't start tomorrow because this or that. It is today !
June 28: 180 Lbs
Sunday brunch: cereals+ milk, coffee, two toasts with fresh butter, a small cup of berries, 2 1/2 scramble eggs, a small glass of berries smoothie.
Diner: (invitation of my friends) some raw veggy appetizers a plate of green salad and smoked salmon, a plate of tomato/mozza/fresh basil/ anchovies, a little cup of pasta/olive salad, a lemon sorbet with berries, a Tibetan tea.
