Motivatie

Am discutat despre motive pentru a schimba modul de viata. Care ar fi motiv mai bun decat a purta hainute frumoase si sa te placi cand te uiti in oglinda? Anul trecut mi-am cumparat o rochita superba, ma strangea un pic, dar aveam de gand sa slabesc, asa ca mi-am cumparat-o oricum. Am gasit in dulap o pereche de blugi Diesel care nu mai intrau pe mine. Mi-am propus ca am sa slabesc ca sa ii pot purta iar. Ca sa ma motivez si mai tare, ii incercam zi de zi sa vad cum progresez, cu cat simteam ca ma strang cu atat mai tare alergam sau pedalam la sala. Am fost super bucuroasa cand am vazut ca intra pe mine dupa trei saptamani. Apoi a trebuit sa-mi caut alta provocare, sa imi fie mari blugii aia. De atunci au trecut doua luni si acum imi sunt mari blugii. Intre timp am uitat de rochita, am incercat-o la 10 luni dupa achizitionare, si acum mi mare, imi sta groaznic! Trebuie sa o duc la croitor. Ma mai motiveaza complimentele care o primesc de la prietenii mei. Ma simt atat de bine in "hainele mele noi". 

Saptamana trecuta am facut o febra urata, asa ca m-am dus la un medic specialist care mi-a prescris injectii de antibiotice si mi-a interzis sa ma duc la sala (dezamagire mare). Niciodata nu m-am simtit atat de plictisita, stresata si neputincioasa. Abia am asteptat sa termin antibioticele. Astazi ma duc in sfarsit la sala!

Pe voi ce va motiveaza mai mult? 

Motivation

I've written about reasons for changing lifestyle. What would make a better reason than wearing lovely clothes and to like yourself when you look in the mirror? Last year I've bought a gorgeous dress, it was a little tight, but intending to lose weight, I bought it anyway. I found in my wardrobe a pair of jeans from Diesel which didn't fit anymore. I decided to lose weight so I can wear them again. To motivate myself, I've tried it on day in day out to see the progress, the more tight it was, the more I ran and cycled at the gym. I was very happy to see that it fit after three weeks. Than I had to find another challenge, I wanted those jeans to be large on me. Two months passed since and now they are large! Meanwhile I have forgotten about the dress, I tried it on 10 months after the purchase, and it's large, it looks horrible! I have to take it to a tailor. The compliments I get from my friends also help a lot! I feel so great in "my new clothes". 

Last week I had a terrible fever, so I went to a specialist who prescribed some antibiotic injections and forbade me to go to the gym (biiiig disappointment). I've never felt so bored, stressed and helpless. I couldn't wait to finish the antibiotics. Finally, today I'm going to the gym!

How I did it/Cum am reusit

  

Astazi va povestesc despre cum am inceput sa slabesc, ce fac si cum fac.

Cand vorbim de pierdere in greutate, dieta si miscare, totul porneste din inima. Trebuie sa-ti doresti din tot sufletul chestia asta. O cantitate enorma de ambitie, care tu singur ti-o construiesti. In primul rand trebuie sa ai un element cheie care sa te faca sa-ti doresti aceasta schimbare, gen o haina care nu mai intra pe tine, un eventiment la care trebuie sa arati bine, sau in cel mai rau caz, boala. Tot timpul aveam problema de a-mi gasi haine. Datorita soldurilor mari, mi s-a parut aproape imposibil sa imi gasesc blugi faini. In anul 3 de facultate aveam 85kg. Nu ma suportam, ma uitam in oglinda cu scarba, totusi nu am facut nimic. Dupa nenumaratele crize de fiere, am decis ca ma pun pe dieta si miscare. Zis si facut, am inceput sa mananc doar legume inabusite cu gratar de piept de pui, fara sucuri, dulciuri. Mi-am facut abonament la Spinergy Oradea, care era in spatele blocului (cu cat mai aproape, cu atat mai imposibil de gasit motiv sa nu ma duc). Incet, incet am inceput sa slabesc si de la 85 de kile am ajuns la 75, insa m-am mutat din Oradea in Fuerteventura, unde mi-am petrecut cele mai frumoase 3 luni. Desi nu aveam ocazia sa fac miscare(sincer nici nu am vrut, nu exista "nu pot" numai "nu vreau"), am continuat cu alimentatia sanatoasa si inotam zilnic la piscina casei. Cand am venit acasa in August, m-am cantarit si eram super incantata de ce vad, 66kg! M-am ambitionat si mai tare, si m-am pus pe un regim vegetarian, si in noiembrie cantarul imi arata 62kg. M-am inscris la Tae Bo. Am inceput sa lucrez, apoi...am esuat, am reinceput alimentatia standard de a manca prostii (snitel+cartofi, paste cu carne,etc). Efectul yo-yo...69-70kg...iar. Bravo, foarte frumos din partea mea. Mi-a fost greu sa reincep regimul, miscarea, am devenit comfortabila. Toamna asta am avut licenta, asa ca nu am avut timp sa ma duc la sala (nu am vrut :) ), dar mi-am propus ca dupa licenta imi schimb stilul de viata radical. Zis si facut, inca din August (inainte de licenta) mi-am schimbat alimentatia (Am scris despre asta in postarea de ieri), iar din 1 Septembrie m-am apucat de sala. M-am obisnuit sa mananc sanatos si am ajuns sa ma duc la sala cu drag. Ma masor si ma cantaresc la fiecare 2 saptamani, si ma tot mir cat de "frumos" sar jos kilele si centimetrii. Azi am 57kg si pot intra intr-un magazin si imi gasesc hainute frumoase.  Sunt foarte multumita de ce vad, ma motiveaza, si da, ii adevarat ca "munca grea se rasplateste". Iubesc ce fac. Am invatat sa imi iubesc corpul, si sa imi urasc colaceii, burtica si tot ce "nu apartine de corpul meu" si ma voi lupta in continuare sa le exorcizez. Zi de zi imi propun o noua provocare.

Today I share the story of how I started losing weight, what do I do and how I do it.

When it comes to weight-loss, diet and exercise, it all comes from the heart. You have to want it with all your heart. You need a huge amount of ambition, which you have to build up alone. First of all you need a key element that makes you want to change yourself, for example a piece of clothing that doesn't fit you anymore, you want to look great at an event, or the worst case, disease. I always had a problem in finding clothes. Due to my wide hips, I found it almost impossible to find and wear nice jeans. In my senior year of college, I weighed 85 kilos. I hated myself, and looked in the mirror disgusted, still haven't done anything to change it. After numerous gallbladder crises, I decided to start a diet and exercise. The diet consisted of grilled chicken and steamed veggies, and I made a month pass at Spinergy Oradea (it was in the back of my flat so I couldn't make any excuses not to go). Slowly I started losing weight and from 85 kilos I got to 75, but I moved from Oradea to Fuerteventura, where I've spent the best 3 months. Although I didn't have the occasion to work out (and I didn't even want to, there is no such thing "I can't" just "I don't want to"), but I continued to eat healthy and I swam daily at the house's swimming pool. After I came home and weighed myself, I was very happy seeing that I had 66 kilos! I gained more ambition and started a vegetarian diet, and by November I weighed 62 kilos. I signed up for Tae Bo. I got a job...then I failed, I took up my old eating habit (schnitzel + potatoes, pasta + meat, etc.) Yo-yo effect...and again 69-70 kilos. Congrats! Very nice of me. It was hard to start dieting and to start doing exercises again, I got comfy. I had my license exam this autumn, so I didn't have time to go to the gym (and, again, I didn't want to), but I decided that after my exam, I'll make a complete change in my lifestyle. Said and done! In August I started dieting and from 1st of December I started going to the gym. I got used to eating healthy and I started going to the gym with pleasure. I measure and weigh myself every two weeks, and I am amazed of how the kilos and centimeters are "falling off" me. Today I weigh 57 kilos and I can finally go into a store and get myself pretty clothes. I am satisfied with what I see, it motivates me, and yes "hard work pays off"! I love what I do. I learned to love my body and to hate everything "that doesn't belong" there, and I will continue exorcising them. Every day I come up with a new challenge.

My story/Povestea mea

Am decis sa va povestesc despre marea mea schimbare. 

Multa lume ma intreaba cum am reusit sa slabesc si ma lauda cat de bine arat. Va multumesc, chiar ma ajuta mult. Printre cele mai frecvente intrebari se mai iveste una care ma face sa zambesc: "Nu mananci mai nimic asa-i?". Ba da mananc, dar am invatat sa mananc sanatos, nu, nu ma infometez! Pe langa asta, fac miscare, fara scuze, si cel mai important, din placere ma duc la sala de fitness. Imi place gandul ca fac ceva pentru mine. Asa ma rasfat. Pentru mine o ora jumate de antrenament ii mai relaxant decat un pui de somn sau sa ma uit la TV. Cunosc persoane care merg la sala simtindu-se obligati sa faca acest lucru. Da, recunosc, asa am mers si eu la inceput...apoi mi-am schimbat modul de gandire, iar acum merg cu placere, si abia astept urmatoarea zi de antrenament! Mi-am schimbat alimentatia radical, am exclus anumite alimente ce mi se par inutile si le-am schimbat cu alte alimente importante de care corpul chiar are nevoie (de exemplu ciocolata si napolitanele le-am schimbat cu fructe). Mi se pare corect ca atunci cand imi rasfat si imi rasplatesc corpul cu ce are nevoie, ma rasplateste si el cu ce am eu nevoie: sa fiu sanatoasa si sa arat bine. Fata de cum eram inainte, am ajuns departe, totusi e foarte lung drumul pe care trebuie sa-l parcurg, multi pasi de urcat, multi kilometri de alergat, multe serii si multe repetari, multi litri de apa de baut, multe legume si fructe de devorat. Necesita timp, si pentru mine, am tot timpul din lume... 

"Nu te astepta sa slabesti rapid, cand te-ai ingrasat treptat."(Sz.B.)

 I decided to tell the story of my changing.

 A lot of people ask me how did I manage to lose weight and to look so good. Thank you, it really helps. Among the several questions, there is one that puts a smile on my face: "You don't eat almost anything, do you?". I do eat, but I've learned to eat healthy, no, I don't starve myself! Besides all that, I do a lot of exercises, with no excuses, but with pleasure, I work out at the gym. I like the thought of doing something for myself. This is how I spoil myself. An hour and a half of workout for me is more relaxing than an afternoon nap or watching TV. I know people who go to the gym feeling obligated to do so. I admit, I was the same at the beginning, but than I've changed my mentality, and now I go to the gym with pleasure, and I can't wait for next day's workout! I've radically changed my eating habits, I excluded some food I didn't find useful and changed it with something I really need ( Chocolate or waffles with fruit) I find it fair enough for me to nourish and feed my body with something it really needs, and therefore it gives me back what I need: a healthy and good-looking body. Compared to how I was before, I look and feel much better, still there is a long way to get where I want to, many steps to make, many kilometers to run, many sets and reps, many liters of water to drink, lots of veggies and fruits to devour. It takes time, and for myself, I have all the time in the world!
