A fit fat person

I am a fierce believer of making a change if you're not satisfied with something. Although I promised myself I would accept my body, which I have in part, I cannot accept that my clothes are shrinking. Well, we all know they are not, so it means I gained weight, and that I cannot accept. So I have made a deal with myself, something that I know will motivate me: 

"I promise myself that when I weigh 65 kg I will apply to become a Spinning-instructor in Hong Kong."

I mean, how believable is a gym instructor that doesn't look fit? 

On 28/1/2013 I weigh 72.5 kg. There, I am embarrassed, but that's what the truth looks like right now. Not that weight ever really have been the right measurement for me, I am usually heavier than what I look, but it is an easy way to check. I am also measuring, which is more accurate. Now it's on print, I better fulfill my promise, and I give myself 10 weeks. 
For starters I better shape up my eating habits... Let's go for the brutality of writing down everything I eat, everything... Yeah, I'm gonna do that again. 

1. Use the app MyFitnessPal. Write down everything I eat! If I don't know the calories, find out. 
2. Follow the running program I have set up with the help of RunKeeper (they have a program that I will follow to be able to run a half marathon :).  
3. Do weight lifting at the gym twice a week, 1 day upper body, 1 day lower body. 
4. Go to spinning twice a week, just so much fun! 
5. Drink lots of water. 


Me at the finish line at the 10K race!
Let's add a "before" picture. This is what I looked like yesterday at the finish line. I will hopefully be a bit smaller in a few weeks. I will and I can! 

I am not even sure I dare to publish this post. What if I fail? What will you now think of me? A fit fat person? Yeah, that's me.
