Week 10

I am especially happy because I have lost all but 3 ounces of 10 (ten) pounds in the time since I started my personal program.

I knew I could do it, but you have to make it happen and I did.
Now people are starting to tell me they think I look good, brighter, an old lady I talk to sometimes said to me.

I went to my dentist, and she complimented me too. She's good-looking lady of 51 called me, a slim gentleman in his 70s. When I told her my real age, she went into her computer to check my file to see if it was correct.

If that's not a wonderful compliment, I don't know what is. So, in the future, I will walk into her office with my head held high. In general, I don't like dentists. But now I suddenly do.

Such a compliment inspires me to continue what I am doing with all my might, and I had no doubt, if any, that I would continue until one morning I saw 77 kg on the scale.

There is one more point I would like to make and that is to check your blood pressure regularly. I think this is especially important during a time when you are changing your eating, drinking and exercise habits.

I take it almost every night before I go to bed and in the morning when I get up. I've been doing it for a while, but I think it's especially important during this time. Every day might be a little redundant, but if you can do it at least once a week.

Blood pressure monitors are not very expensive and can be purchased at any pharmacy or online. Blood pressure varies by age group, upper pressure should be below 140 and lower pressure below 90/ upper pressure below 120 is optimal.

Note: I am a layman and had to look it up on the Dutch Heart Foundation.

This week I wanted to know my correct average. I calculated it as follows: I added up all the measurements from the first to the seventh day and divided by the number of measurements (2 times a day), so 14.

To my satisfaction, I arrived at an average of 114/78. This is the result of ten weeks of living a healthy life, eating and drinking sensibly and getting plenty of exercise.

The moral is that you will not only improve your weight, but to a great extent your overall health. The above is my proof. And what did the scale say? 81.5 kg

After taking a healthy meal on Friday evening, I weighed 81.5 kg on Saturday morning after showering.

You can understand that I was proud and happy and became more and more confident that my goal was not far away. I didn't let my excitement get the best of me and I didn't break my schedule and pick up the pace. I wanted to, of course, but I didn't because I was convinced that this result was due to my self-imposed pace.

Focus all your energy on creating the new rather than fighting the old. The future is ahead of you, not behind you! What's done is done; you can only make the future better.
Also 81,5 kg by the end of the week.
