Week 7

Of course, it is not possible to lose exactly 1 kg per week. That wasn't my goal either. I wanted to get back to at least 80 kilos in a responsible way. On the way to the end and because it was going so well, I adjusted it a bit. At the beginning of this week, I decided that at the end of the week, on Saturday morning, the scale had to be under 85. I concentrated week by week and did not look much further into the future.

I continued to eat as I had in previous weeks, and I continued to enjoy the smoothies that I experimented with to my heart's content. In fact, I enjoyed this time, as everyone should. I ate as usual, delicious simple menus went by. I enjoyed my 2 daily smoothies of half a liter each and still do.

I just keep making my smoothies every day and that's the way it should be. Make such good and healthy things a habit. Once you reach your weight goal, continue to cut out sugar, cookies, and sweets, and make sure you continue to eat healthy.

There are so many cookbooks and online options for preparing good, healthy meals. I'll give you a few examples that you might find helpful. Go to the bookstore and check out the cookbooks and health section, you are sure to find something that will help you.

Vitamins and minerals.
I'm not the youngest, so I have some experience. Actually, I have always been into fitness, I used to go to the gym a lot and enjoyed it. I lived abroad for a long time, and I used thereto go to the gym a lot too.

I have always been mindful of my intake of vitamins and minerals, and this has increased as I have gotten older. Of course, you can find all kinds of information on the Internet, in bookstores, and in advertisements, so you can't see the forest for the trees.

When I started my weight loss program, I studied it very carefully. What matters is your diet, your physical condition, your age, your sex, and so on. In my search, I assumed that I was healthy, feeling good, and pretty fit.

My doctor told me to look for a good multivitamin-mineral preparation for men over 60. I did, and where else but on the Internet. It really made me dizzy. If everything is to be believed, one is even better than the other. In short, they are almost all good, only the composition differs here and there.

Only one thing remains, and that is what you are willing or able to spend, because as with everything, the better the more expensive. But when it comes to your health and constitution, you really shouldn't save, but yes, you automatically do it anyway.

Since I regularly order my Greenjuice from my regular supplier every 30 days, I started looking there. On their website they have a handy vitamin wizard where you can see exactly what vitamins are good for what, for example what is good for your hair, good for your skin, etcetera fine, clear and interesting.

I found what I was looking for  a vitamin-mineral supplement and ordered it with my next order of Greenjuice.

This week I was quite satisfied again. I stayed on track and felt fit and healthy. I went for long walks again and even did some interval running one evening because I don't want to force myself.

I remember my two previous injuries (torn Achilles tendon and whiplash in my calf). I don't want to go through that again. My weight at the end of this week hurrah...84.8 kg
More than a kilo down
