Day 53 - Reverse Diabetes Challenge

I bought myself an electric bike today! I had the choice of three colors. Yellow, light green or fuiscia. So I chose yellow with highlights of black. It reminded me of bumblebee somehow. Anyway it was cheap. I got to pay a downpayment of P3,000 only. I just presented a photocopy of my 2 goverment ids and birth certificate. As well as a photocopy of my bill. It was delivered to my house just today at 5pm. I will need to pay my balance of P2,000 on May 31, 2016. I got a 9 month installment plan of P2,111 per month. So it runs to P23,999.

Charging will only cost me P7 a day. Charge for 4-6 hours and it can travel up to 60km. From my house to the office its around 18km. Thats around 36kms. So that means one charge will be 2 trips back and forth. So that means I get to charge every other day. That's 15 days times P7 (cost of charging) equals to P105. That's a big savings compared to my monthly budget for fare at P680.

Soooo, I won't be walking from kanto Puan to my house at night. That means I have to replace my walking with exercise. Push up, sit up and squats again.

Breakfast:
1 cup coffee at 75 calories with 4 spoons oatmeal at 40 calories

Lunch:
1 small piece chicken at 76 calories
1 adobo kamote tops consisting of -
1 cup kamote tops at 12 calories

And no I didn't start my exercise yet. Maybe tomorrow morning?

Day 52 - Reverse Diabetes Challenge

Finally had the courage and the time to weight myself and take measurements. After a month I lost 2.8 pounds. Not bad for a month not sticking strictly to my diet. However, my goal was to loose 2 pounds per week. Since I can't stop eating snacks, I will need to go back to my physical exercises to increase my status to lightly active in order to burn more calories. My metabolic age is younger now. When I started it was 62 now its 54. Nice! Visceral Fat is still high. From 16 to 15. I need to lessen it faster. I need to research other food or medicine to make it lower.

April 12, 2016 Weight: 187.4 lbs. Body Fat: 29.8 Body Water: 51.4 Muscle Mass: 124.8 BMR: 1692 Physique rating: 3 Metabolic Age: 58 Bone Mass: 6.8 Visceral Fat 15

May 17, 2016 Weight: 184.6 lbs. Body Fat: 28.7 Body Water: 52.2 Muscle Mass: 124.8 BMR: 1689 Physique rating: 3 Metabolic Age: 54 Bone Mass: 6.8 Visceral Fat 15

Last time I was able to maintain 3 sets of 10 reps. However, when I jumped from 10 reps to 20 reps, I was not able to maintain it and stopped at day 3 of my exercise. So that means I will not jump to 20 reps after a week. I will only add 3 reps per week.

That means I start today with 10 reps. 

Week 7 on May 23, 2016 it will become 13 reps.

Week 8, last week of my reverse diabetes challenge. On May 30, 2016 it will become 16 reps.

Restart challenge and rename it Ideal Weight and Reverse Diabetes Challenge. On June 6, 2016 it will become 20 reps. I'll add 4 reps to even the number out.

Now since my weight changed, I need to recalculate my calorie consumption per day. See below.

1 cup of coffee at 70 calories
5 spoons of oatmeal at 50 calories

Snack:
