30 lbs by Thirty - Project 30

I hardly ever blogged about my birthday but this time I decided to write a little bit about that. You see, I turn 30 (yes the big three oh) in a couple of months time, less than 3 months to be a little bit more precise. A friend of mine once told me that when he turned 29, he embarked on a journey to complete a set a tasks for him to complete by the time he hit 30. That sort of gotten the clogs in my brain working a little while and I decided that I should embark on a similar journey.

To lose 30 pounds (lbs) by the time I am 30 years old.

Well of course the whole idea of losing weight is something I have been procrastinating and the final nail hit the coffin when my insurance agent informed me that because of my current weight, I got to pay an extra loaded premium.

At this time, I weigh about  107 kg. So my target weight to reach by the time I am 30 next year in February would be 93 kg (I am just rounding up). Hopefully by then, my pants/shirts (about 70% of my clothes) would have fit me better.

What I have installed for me would be to:

• Diet - cut down on fast food completely, drink more water, eat less carbs especially at night and eat more fruits instead


• Exercise - swim a little bit more at the swimming pool at my apartments, reschedule my night teleconferences and go for badminton!


• Lifestyle - Get more sleep in order to let my body process the sugars in me

Let's see if I can keep up with this project, Project 30!
