I Am Ditching The Weighing Scale! Hi, guys! We are halfway through the year, gosh. Time is so fast! A lot had happened already in the 1st half of the year. Can you believe that we will have a new president this June? Six years is so fast. I still remember Duterte's inauguration. Anyway, in this article, I will be talking about fitness and health. I am a person who works out at least four times a week. I do cardio, resistance, and lifting. I can say that there is a big significant change in my mood, my body, and my sleep. **Seriously, a 10-minute walk or run is enough to lose some fats.** Thank you, sponsors! My height is 5'6, 58 kg, 20+ years old, lol. I checked my BMI and it turned out to be normal. Why am I ditching the weighing scale? Normally, every morning, it is in my system already to check my weight after taking a pee. I then record my weight in my phone using the in-app of huawei My Health. This started when I gained weight because of the pandemic. My highest weight was **63 kg. I was so moody, sluggish, and feeling sleepy most of the time.** I have a bad control on eating food. I eat until I felt very full. That is then when I decided to become healthy and monitor my weight. In the long run, I realized that the weighing scale does say your body composition at all. It is just basically telling how heavy or light you are. What I am aiming for is to because strong and gain more muscles. A typical weighing scale does not weigh your water retention, muscle count, fats count, etc. That is why I just focus on how I look and how I feel. What is my body type goal? My body type goal is "skinny thicc". I want to have visible muscle, butt and a float tummy. I want to have the confidence to wear whatever I want. I am not totally that confident right now hehe. Sure, I can wear shorts and tank tops, but I cannot wear a bikini, lol.

I bought some equipment from Shopee and Lazada. I know these are luxuries but it will help me to build my body in the long run. Also, they are very sturdy and will last long. **Resistance band**

Every color has a different resistance level. I got a level of resistance. I got the green on. The resistance is just okay for me but in the long run, I will switch to higher resistance. The price is PHP39 or USD 0.80 per band! A nice steal for a sturdy product. Adjustable Kettlebell

I like the color and the design of this product. They have pink too, but I like this shade of blue. The plates can be removed to adjust your weight preferences. This is a bit costly for me. I got this for PHP890 or USD18. Pea Protein Powder I was looking for a protein powder in the market and thoroughly research it first what is a protein powder. The number one type of it is whey protein powder. I learned that is made of animal products. I am scared that it will make my body super bulking and it may have a great impact of me since it is used to really grow muscle. Right now I am looking for a vegan alternative like the pea protein powder. I am still thinking about this so maybe in the future, I might try it too. Currently... Currently, I am 60 kg, and I feel lighter and curvier maybe because I lift more now. I feel much slimmer because I am building muscle. I will still continue to lift and do resistance workouts, and will not depend on the weighing scale. That is it for today. Thank you for reading. I will see you at the next one. *Banner edited from Canva.* Thank you! Date pulished: June 2, 2022

Wow!! What a goal. Me, I exercise 4 times a week for an hour but I never lost weight exercising alone. I think I need the combination of changing lifestyle, healthy foods and exercise.
I salute you for working out 4 times a week. We have those lazy days pero go lang tayo. Nung una talaga naglolose ako ng weight for now I think I already reached my limit so kahit ano kainin ko okay lang basta portions pa rin hehe.
I'm Male but I need to increase my weight as I'm a bit underweight. Been struggling with 60kg for two years now. it should be higher than this considering my age.
You're seeing the results of your efforts. Good luck going forward
This is good to your health and body, i really admire people spend efforts for themselves it's so good to see your results and i am looking forward for more of it
Ako din sis kada umaga eh laging nagtitimbang, I am trying to lose the 2 kilos I gained when hubby came home, effective ang less rice pero ang hirap😅
Okay lang yan sis. Do not be so hard to ourselves. Proper diet and workout lang tayo hehe.
Kaya nga eh pero parang nasanay na din ung tiyan ko, sya na nag adjust😁
Wala bang super bod reveal bhie? Charrr wahahaha. Parang gusto ko ung kettlebell kaso ung jug ko na lang dito wahaha mukang mashala yan eh. Meron ako nung resistance band and I can na napaka worth it gamitin nun.
Ganda nung resistant band sis noh? Tsaka mura lang din. May maliit akong weights dito kaso di na ako nabibigatan. Yang kettlebell na yan pinagipunan ko talaga hehe.
Oo mura lang yan sa shopee effective pa pampawala ng hip dips hehe
oh having a high weight is really very uncomfortable , because I myself have experienced it , I like the way you . by the way what is your target weight?
My target weight is 58 kg to 63 kg with muscle gain. When I was not lifting, I feel weak unlike now that I started lifting, I feel more lighter and stronger.
Oh that's Good sis, hope good.
Surely you have an ideal body because you always exercise so that your body looks so beautiful and charming, many women want to look sexy with their bottoms because they want to always exercise.
I want to be healthy and fit. It is hard to get sick these days because it is expensive.
Planning to buy whey protein. My too skinny body need some muscles hahaga
My sister said she gained 2 kilos in a week. She drinks protein shake everyday. Ngayon 42 kilos na siya haha. Ako naman target ko magka muscle gain.
I wish you all the best! I'm cheering you on. Good luck!
Thank you! I am more motivated when I invest to something monetarily hehe.
i thought it was you in the photo. hehe. just continue your exercise and you will achieve the body goals you always wanted.
Oh, no, it is not me. It is just a reference of what I like/ my body goal.
