My journey to a healthy life. This is my progress:

Happy New Year!

Last year my target was to lose 9 kg (to have 60 kg) and at the doctor's order, I had to stop exercising and do some physiotherapy and massages that didn't help at all with my back pains. Fortunately, over the last 3 months I managed to maintain my weight and I have 59.1 kg now (I oscillate between 57.5 and 59 - so I lost 10 kg and I'm very happy about it!
The gastritis is a hassle because I'm allowed to eat only a few things of what I uses to. I miss my nuts and seeds, my salads, my fruits. And a glass of wine at the end of a hard day. On January 3rd I started exercising again. It's sad too see how fast I got out of shape and how little resistance I have left. 20 minutes in and I was tired and my muscles hurt already. After each session everything hurts sooo bad. I was happy to notice that I felt like redoing and old habit, so it wasn't a horrible experience like the first time I started this active life. BUT last year I made the impossible in 4 months and 100 exercising sessions. Now I'm lighter and I already know that I can do it.
Are you ready?! Let's do this!!!

@January 3rd, 2019:

Hi, guys! I'm back. 2019 was terrible for me, especially from a physiological point of view (deaths in family, my husband sick for more than 2 years now, trouble at work - and then I got depressive).
I've always thought that it's pointless to start a diet/a life style change/working out if you are not mentally ready. You must feel that you want it, you can do it, you must feel determined and put your will to work. If you don't have the right mindset when you start, it will most probably lead to failure pretty soon.

This year I've had a good start on January 13th. I felt the necessary determination. Meanwhile I found out that I have a herniated disc, so that's why I had the lower back pain on and off for such a long time.
This time I must lose 7-8 kg and I also hope to get fit. Later in the summer, I want to try the Strong curves program (but I need to read the book first). I continue to exercise at home but meanwhile I bought a kettle bell and a Concept 2 rower (you know how much I hate cardio but it's a great full body option for which I don't have to leave my apartment.).
I still use apps and workouts from YouTube.
Here's my playlist with over 70 videos:


I'm active on my page (daily), I post meal photos, updates (whether I feel down or great), I log everything, I encourage and keep accountable my friends to be active. If you are the same kind of person, please add me and let's support each other.

Here's a photo with the starting point for this year (I need to lose the belly, saddlebags and get fit).
