Woke up, tipped the scale at 184 lbs. Took a piss, then weighed again. Now it is 183 lbs. Didn't realize that water weighed 1 pound.
Decided not to jog today and would do some weight lifting in the afternoon to build some upper body strenght and muscles. It would also give my ankles and legs time to recover from 3 straight days of jogging.
However, I did not sweat a lot during weightlifting. My body feels different, I miss the sweat and the good feeling after.
Will probably do jogging daily, my body misses it.
Ate a lot of pasta and 2 cans of tuna. Some Coke and ice cream as well. Will probably have to cut down on food to get ripped abs. Watched some Youtube of fitness champion Jennifer Lee to get some motivation.
It's 10pm, time to get a good night sleep.

Day 3 - Weight Loss Progress
Weighed myself, still at 183 lbs. But I did feel good after two straight days of doing some exercise.
Went jogging to the park. Unfortunately there was no aerobics, maybe they only have it on weekends. So I did some uphill sprints instead. Sapped a lot of energy.
Got back home, had some pasta and tuna. Then took the train to a local land transportation office to renew my license. It was a long process, from 9:30am - 2pm. Figured I burnt some calories walking and standing for 5 hours.
Got home and ate some more pasta. I'm not really dieting, just focusing on more exercise and activity to increase my metabolism.
Tight jeans still felt tight, but not as tight as yesterday.
Looking forward a great day tomorrow.

Day 2 - Lose Belly Fat
Alarm clock went off at 5:15am. Just immediately brushed my teeth, put socks/shoes and quickly go out of the house. I knew if I start thinking, my brain will find reasons for me not to jog. It might be raining, you need to recover from the sore muscles of day 1, etc.
Before stepping out, took my weight, lost 1 pound from yesterday, now at 183 lbs.
5:30am - Went jogging to the outdoor aerobics session in the nearby park. When I got there the group already started. Found my spot, started to do the aerobics. Music and a great choreographer made the 90 minute session seem like 15 minutes. I sweated a lot, it felt good.
My shoulders are slightly sore, due to a lot of arm movements in the aerobic routine.
8:15am - Got home, ate 3 hardboiled eggs, took a shower.
9:15am - Got dressed to go to church. Surprised that my jeans felt so tight. I really need to lose this belly fat or else spend money buying bigger jeans. Went to church with family.
10:30am - Decided to go to a nearby mall with my two kids and wife. Ate some chicken at a local fast food place. Walked around, window shopping. Then went to the supermarket to buy some pasta, tomato sauce, and lot's of canned tuna.
4:30pm - Took my two kids for a walk outside the house. With all these video games, internet and computers, they are also packing on some weight. Half hour walk was good, also allowed me some time to bond with them. Quality time as well as losing weight.
Looking forward to Day 3. Feeling really good after just two days of exercise.

Day 1 - The hard work begins
Hi, my name is Joel. I'm 5'10 and used to weigh 164 pounds and had a 32 inch waistline 2 years ago. But due to work and stress, I am now 184 lbs and waistline has grown to 38 inches. No wonder my office pants felt so tight.
Anyways, decided to put up this blog (or my daily dairy) to see how much belly fat I can lose in the next 31 days. This daily posts is for my personal focus, but if it helps you lose belly fat as well, great!
Well today is Day 1 of the fun journey. Here it goes:
5:45 am - My house is near a major jogging and aerobics field. Went for a 7km walk/jog/walk. Will take it easy, worse thing is to overdo on the first day and be unable to do anything in day 2.
6:00 am - Got to the park. Saw an aerobics group that I used to join years ago. Decided to jump in. The instructor I think used to be a dance choreographer, so the aerobic routine were more of stretching and dancing. With nice music, the 90 minutes went by quickly. Lots of sweat. Feels good.
8:45am - Got home. Drank lots of water. Will have a decent breakfast. But did some 5 minutes crunches.
11:30 - Took a 15 minute walk to my daughter's school to pick her up. Took 15minutes to walk back home. Should be good to burn a few calories. Anyways traffic was bad, if I took the car it would have taken longer.
