Extra E(ffort)!

My efforts are worth it, or so I thought.

During my last 5K run in the hilly hills of South Forbes Sta. Rosa, Nestle had this booth for Nestle Wellness and my stats shows that I lost 8 kgs in 3 months. It just doesn't show because I am doing the wrong thing, gym-wise(?). The nutritionist told me that to be able to see the effects of losing weight and if I want to see if my arms, stomach, thighs and legs changing its size, I should use light weights as oppose to what my gym instructor told me, if I can lift heavier weights, then do.

Um, gym instructor, I want to lose weight and not be a body builder?

Anyhoo, I am starting to do what the nutritionist told me. One more thing, I was planning to go on my 'oatmeal' diet (did that 2 years ago and boy, I really lost weight!) but she told me to eat more in moderation than do the said diet because it won't help me sustain energy. I am now living in bread, water, coffee, water and once-a-day rice meal, wherever that rice meal falls, except dinner. And I am back to loving the gym, I just recently won McCormick gift pack from the dance class, Bhangra Bollywood, I attended sponsored by Women's Health and I won McCormick spices.
And at the end, all I need is MORE effort to reach my goal.
