So, this September, I'm going to audition for a couple of Asian entertainment companies (JYP and SM, if you've heard of them) that are coming to town. I'm going to focus on modeling and acting. That means I need to get down to business in terms of getting my body ready.
I am 5' 8". Before I started my program half a week ago I was at 135 lbs. I am now 130 lbs. My goal is to be able to maintain a weight between 120-123 lbs by September.
Here is my diet/exercise program:
- Working out: 90 minutes every morning before breakfast. Every other weekday because I have a study block in my schedule first thing, I wake up at 5am and walk for 30 minutes to a place where I do hot yoga, which lasts for 90 minutes. For someone of my body mass this will burn about 1000 calories. On weekends, I'll do yoga for one of the days in order for it to work out to doing it every other day a week- but I'll sleep in a little longer lolz. Why don't I do it every day of the week? a) Because it's expensive, and b) because it mostly focuses on spine and knee strengthening, which doesn't account for the rest of my body. On the days that I'm not going to yoga, I still wake up either at 6am on weekdays or 6:30 to 7am on weekends and get in 90 minutes of stretching, pushups, situps, jack-knives, squats, etc, before breakfast. Aside from that, every single day I have to walk for some reason or another for at least an hour or two. Then every day in the evening, I jump around/touch the ceiling and floor (so that I can grow, hopefully XD), and do more abdominal twists/exercises, to add up to around 30 minutes of exercise in the evening.
Diet:
- I eat 5 or 6 fist-sized meals a day, spread out evenly between breakfast and dinner (approximately every two hours).
- I drink at least 2 litres of water each day, a lot of which consists of a type of Chinese high-mountain green tea that my family buys which promotes weight loss and lowers blood pressure.
- I take a multivitamin with my breakfast every morning.
Meals consist of:
- mostly raw or lightly boiled or stir-fried vegetables (such as broccoli, spinach, sweet potato, tomato, celery, bok choy, japanese squash, gai lan/choy sum AKA "chinese broccoli", brussel sprouts) or cooked/soup-form beans
- one or two of these meals each day will be fruit
- one meal will be multigrain rice or rolled oats or some sort of fibrous grains in any case
- every other day I eat a serving of non-fat organic yogourt, or a handful of nuts, or a portion of some fish/lean cuts of meat
After my initial loss of "intestinal congestion" weight and water-weight, I've been dropping approx. 1lb every day, even though I've been toning up muscle. Honestly I haven't felt hungry at all so far, and the more fruits and vegetables I eat, the less I crave unhealthy foods. The more consistent my exercising is, the more I enjoy it.
