I first signed up to the 1 million step challenge with Diabetes UK in July 2020. This promise was more to myself to take control of my own health. I have been joining this every year. This is a challenge that runs over 3 months and makes sure you do an average of 11,000 steps each day. This ensures regular exercise on a daily basis that will help with weight loss or maintaining weight. I also use different weights and exercise to help with toning the arms and shoulders. On days that I can’t go out, I can run and workout indoors. I personally love the rebounder, as it does not take too much space and is gentle on the knees and back.
I also included various soul healing techniques – which help with 5 levels of healing (soul, heart, mind, energy and body). A lot of our weight challenges go beyond the physical body. The spiritual, emotional and mental bodies are crucial and many of the challenges are at the root cause – soul level.
With the help of the above I managed to lose more than 5kgs and keep these off in the last 5 years.
I also started incorporating some dietary changes from July 2020 onwards, from introducing protein shakes, to a strict high protein diet for 3 months and no sugar diet for a few months. I reached a target weight of around 58kg. My weight has been very stable since then.
Yesterday we went out to Leavesden Country Park. This is such a scenic and interesting park with a Heritage trail (some pictures below). Do visit it if you are ever in Watford.
It has so many trails and paths and also play areas.
We also had the opportunity to relax, meditate and admire the surroundings, with a clear blue sky, on an outdoor hammock.
I am nearly halfway to my target of 1 million steps. Please support me and Diabetes UK by donating to to Diabetes UK using the links below: https://step.diabetes.org.uk/fundraising/hinas-fundraising-page1387
