Status check: I’ve been exercising 5 days a week for one month since 27 July. To date, I’ve lost 5 pounds. However, the numbers on the scale do not tell the whole story. I have also lost 6.5 inches off my waist, thighs and arms. To me, that is the real story. I just wonder what my progress would have been had I followed the accompanying food advice (I refuse to call it a diet).

The HIIT programme I’m following is very challenging for me. I now wear knee braces for every workout and have to ice my knees when I’m done. I remember when I started my main concern was keeping my little one out of the way. I used to wake up at 5am to get my workouts done so she wouldn’t be around to ask for milk, or cereal or toast or what-have-you. That worked for about 4 days. Then she started getting up with me.

It took a few more days for her to realise Mommy cannot stop to entertain her when she is exercising. The iPad is our main support when I’m doing my exercise. Little one knows what’s going on. When she sees the intro to the DVDs, she says “Mommy exercise.” She even congratulates me when I’m done. Last week after I completed quite a challenging routine with all its plank walks and burpees, she said “Good job, Mommy.” I could barely breath but I laughed so hard and gave her the biggest hug.

I have taken a progress photo to document the changes since I started the programme. I can see the change in my waist from the side angle. From the front and the back, not so much. So now I’m going to follow the food advice and give it my all. I’ve posted daily calorie counts and best foods for each food group on my fridge to keep me accountable.

Today marks the beginning of the next level of my programme. I so want this.

Before I started, I felt so daunted. I was worried about my knees. I was worried about my lack of flexibility. I worried about my shoulders. Things are getting better. I’m nowhere near 100%. I modify most of my exercise. No matter. I am seeing changes.

I also want to thank all you guys here. I have learned so much about macronutrients, how to stay on track and even something about a Tanita scale (I am saving up for one now!) Here’s to the next four weeks. I’m so excited.

I just wish FatSecret had a way for us to record measurements as a way to monitor progress. I am really trying not to get hung up on the numbers on the scale because they are not showing my real progress with gaining strength and muscle and loss of fat from my problem areas. This article: Losing Inches But Not Losing Weight helped me a lot with keeping things in perspective. I AM DETERMINED TO SUCCEED. I WILL KEEP GOING.

Rome was not built in a day! I am repeating that like a mantra. My exercise programmes are really pushing me in ways I don't think I would push myself in a gym. Downward dog? Never. Burpee? Yeah, right! Plank walk? You must be crazy!! Yet, these are the things I am pushing my body to do. It is challenging but I am determined. I think back on the last couple of years since my daughter was born. There aren't many photos of me and her together. I've been avoiding cameras for a little while now. I want that to change. I want to stand tall and confident. I am taking ownership of my life. I WILL PERSEVERE. Little one is watching. I must set the example.
