My Eating Habit

I have always wanted to be slim... or at least be slightly heavier than my ideal weight which is bewteen 45kgs - 51kgs. The lightest I can reach so far for the past 17 years was 55.5kgs which was last year when I practised strict diet and frequent exercise. The weight went up and down. Finally I reached a standard weight which is between 57kgs to 59kgs.

However, sometimes I lose control went all out especially when I'm travelling and when I got back to Kuching, I panicked and start to be very strict with my diet and became an exercise freak. It is indeed unhealthy but I just really cannot control myself. The last trip to Jakarta and KL for 10days I came back weighing 60.5kgs because I did some walking to office in KL. 2 weeks later, I'm back to 58kgs. *Thank God*

Imagine I was in Miri for a week. When I came back to Kuching and I weight myself, I'm 61kgs! I was basically walloping roasted pork, roasted duck and all the meaty and oily stuff 3 to 5 times a day.... This week, I have been eating really healthy reducing fatty food and go almost vegetarian.

Maybe it's the sickness in me.

Just to show some of the food I had in Miri and what I am eating now...

New Diet Plan

.:The most recent photo taken on Sunday:.

Since I followed Dukan diet, I went down by 3kgs (at 58kgs) but it's quite stagnant now. Besides that, being an Asian where our staple food is rice, following a French protein diet is a pain in the ass, I've decided to draft out my own diet plan.

Monday - Protein Day

Tuesday - Protein + Vegetable Day

Wednesday - Carbohydrate Allowed Day

Thursday - Protein Day

Friday - Protein Day

Sat - Protein + Vegetable Day

Sun - Celebration Day!

Note: -

*To cut down sugar

*To maintain a 30 minutes exercise a day

*Chocolate/Junk food only allowed on Sunday!

Oat Bran Recipes

Oat Bran is so hard to find in Kuching. I've been in the search to Boulevard, Everise, H&L and Unaco to find it and finally I found it in Giant. (Haven't tried Ting & Ting, Ta Kiong, Cold Storage & Choice Mall yet). Comparing to Oat Meal, Oat Bran is more expensive and the difference between normal Oat Meal or Rolled Oat and Oat Bran is the contain of the carbohydrate is lower and also the function of Beta-Glucan in Oat Bran that increases dietary fiber. 


More about Bran.

.:Organic Oat Bran at RM8.95:.

After buying the oat bran, I am now busy browsing through attack phase recipes and do what I can as some of the ingredients are really limited in the little Kuching town in Borneo... If you are planning to start a Dukan Diet and don't know what to eat and want to have interesting meals, check out the recipes for Attack Phase here. It's really not that bad.

.:Tea Biscuit:.

Today I tried the tea biscuit recipe but due to lack of mould at home, I used saucer plates but it turned out just fine. It's tea time!

The beginning of my Dukan Diet

All my life, I've at least tried 5 diet plans which some worked well and some not. My fattest record was when I was 70kgs and the slimmest record was 55.5kgs. Apparently, now i'm standing at 60kgs after the festivities period. I'm trying to lose at least to below 55kgs and maintain it.

I met a lady called Susan who lost 6kgs in 42days and it's amazing so I checked out some website and I've started Dukan Diet since yesterday and hope to achieve success in 142 days.. Wish me luck! :)

Traffic Garden

This is a garden that makes me laugh coz' everything is so small!

.:This walking sign's posture has always been weird:.

.:GIANT! ahahahhaha:.

.:The Bahasa Malaysia used here is very wrong:.

When I was a little girl, daddy used to bring us there until one day the drains along the garden were dirty and smelly. We stopped going there since... It must have been almost 20 years...


Since we've always been to Friendship Park and seeing the same thing over and over again, I introduced Traffic Garden to Jen. So far, there's no smell, they must have improved the drainage system.


It's actually a place where the Traffic Club of primary schools around Kuching have their practise, exam and competition. Part of the schools co-curriculum.

November is a blissful month

Singapore Trip

I've travelled to Singapore with dad, Ongako, Ah Ing & Siaw Ying to attend Cheng's Ragistration of Marriage.. yes it's REGISTRATION OF MARRIAGE... another one in the family tied the knot. Now it's already 4 out of 7 and only left me, Siaw Ying & Ah Ing.. ahahahahahhaa (Laughing like spongebob)... the married ones don't be too happy coz it also means GAME OVER.. ahahahahhaa (Laughing like spongebob again).

Anyway, it was a good trip overall as we stayed at Chinatown area in Singapore and i managed to do some shopping for the decoration in my apartment. Oh well, the star is my brother and new sister in law, Mrs Ng 'Jaslyn'.

.:The Wedding Couple:.

.:Hahaha cuteness (The ones at the back I mean):.

.:4 shorties.. hehehe:.

.:In Universal Studio:.

.:Pulling my own Pant up:.

So happened that Elephant Parade was going on in Singapore at the time we were there and I love elephants... Lucky! The Elephant Parade is the world’s largest open air art exhibition of decorated elephant statues that seeks to attract public awareness and support for Asian elephant conservation.

Manukan, Sabah

The week after, I also went to Manukan in Sabah with some collegues & ex-colleagues. It was a day trip as it's just a small island where people can picnic and spend some quality time together. I didn't know that snorkeling can be so much fun. I came back nicely tanned with nice complexion.


The day started at Jesselton Port which is just next to Parkson Suria, KK.  The price for a return speedboat per person is RM24 or slightly more depending on the boatman.

.:Jesselton Port:.

.:In the boat:.

.:The Fee:.

.:Water is so clear you can see the fish:.

.:Ready for snorkeling.. jacket and snorkeling tool can be rented at RM15 from the boatman:.

.:Me & Haliza:.

Besides the trip to Manukan, we did a bit of shopping in KK and got ourselves some T-Shirts and Jen even did something nice to her hair.

.:Got a T-Shirt that has great words:.

.:Jen Permed her hair:.

Wedding in Kuching...

Apart from travelling, I didn't miss one of my best buddy's wedding. Although we seldom meet now & busy with our own career & life, the 2 years of college life together was never forgotten and the bond built was for eternity. 4 of us, Leong, Hsiang, Yen & I... Oh well, Leong is married with 1 daughter, Hsiang just got married & Yen is getting married in January... What the hell, i don't give in to peer pressure. Enjoying my single & workout life! Anyway, I'm so happy for all of them.

.:Mr & Mrs Hii:.

.:Leong, Wifey & daughter:.

Speaking of which, I've been working out hard lately after the eating spree in Bangkok which brought me REGRETNESS... I'm targeting and doing at least 30 minutes workout a day and cutting down on sugar, carbohydrate & oily food which basically cutting down on everything inclusive of skipping dinner replacing it with fiber supplement. hehehe

Getting in Shape

I started seeing a doctor for Weight Management Programme since 22 March 2011 recommened by a friend. It's a weekly monitoring session, cutting down on oily food, carbo & sugar intake, consistent exercise and on medication. I managed to loose 6kgs in 2 months and still on the programme until end of June. 

Currently, I am weighing at 56kgs and my BMI has reached normal from overweight... Just looking forward to loose at least another 5 kgs to achieve the ideal weight.

.:Before (62kgs) - 11 Feb 2011:.

.:In the progress (56.5kgs) - 6 May 2011:.

I've always believe in the quote 'when there's a will, there's a way'... next thing to worry about is the maintenance to keep the weight low. 

Anyway I am just 1 kg behind the 2011 resolution no.4 

 It's not too bad I guess since I do try to keep up to the resolution... (self comfort)

I'm feeling fat

Oh my god.. I am putting on weight seriously coz I can't think of anything besides eating... OK from tomorrow onwards, I have to start a very strict diet again...

As one of my colleague said... You shouldn't worry what you eat between Thanksgiving and Christmas but instead you should worry about what you eat Between Christmas and Thanksgiving! It's quite true though.. hahaha and so I didn't worry that much and ended up like this..... DAMN...

And now I am start worrying coz Xmas is over..

Well at least wait till the next PARTY with some of my relatives,  besties and close friends!

I lost weight!

I finally got back to my shape in 2006 before I went to Bali for the first time. I feel good at 60kg :) In total from April, I lost a total of 8kgs.. surprise surprise!

Only thing is i would like to loose another 5kgs to reach 55kgs... very tough eh...  but I will try...

For now, it's a relax week coz I'm down with sore throat and cough like nobody's business... I can't sleep at night! :( I must remind myself to drink a lot of water everyday...

Weight problem - Canon The Babarian

Before I start blogging about how exciting my trip was traveling 5 states in 1 week, I'll talk about how disappointed I am with myself. I concentrated too much on my work life and neglected healthy eating & gave up my dance routine and classes. Comparing myself with last year's Chinese New Year... there are big changes and it is serious.

I didn't even realize that I have put on weight so much until my brother have named me 'Canon The Babarian' and even have time to compare my photo with the character in the movie and MMS me.... -_-'''

I googled and found the most ridiculous movie ever in history.

No joke... it's time to start the most effective diet that brought my weight down from 70kgs to 59kgs 6 years ago... The Carbo Diet aka Atkins Diet aka Anti White Diet (meaning stay away from sugar, bread and rice). I'll try it for 1 month and let's see the result.. hu hu hu

Ma Diet

August, I started to monitor my diet habit.

SINCE AUGUST

I started taking coffee every morning coz the office got a very high tech coffee machine which you can choose to make yourself a cappucino, expresso or just coffee.. but today I got tired of it coz I left my favorite mug in someone’s office and it’s GONE!
Conclusion : No more coffee from today onwards

I started taking breakfast confident that my body needs energy to boost up the metabolism system.
The Result : I put on 2 Kgs since then without looking any fatter coz I exercise and visit the gym frequently
Conclusion : No more breakfast from today onwards (maybe just light malt drink)

I became 7-Eleven’s loyal customer. I get a Big Gulp at least 4 times a week.
The Result : Not sure. Just know that it’s bad
Conclusion : Cut down on sweet drinks

SEPTEMBER

I started vegetarian diet since 1st September for a month (target mar). It’s not totally strict as in even if it is chicken soup, I’ll still take the soup.
The Result : Still waiting as I have just cut down on breakfast and soft drinks
Conclusion : On Going process

Wish me all the best in getting rid of some extra fats so I can work on things that I am working on.. For example the simplest BABY FREEZE =_________= I goddamn can't do it coz my legs are short, excessive fats on my love handle and the thighs are big....

.:Baby Freeze:.

MASS CORROSION II

I did 2 thiNgs toDay~~

ONE

Registered as a gila-duit blogger to nuffnang so do click and check out the advertisement by nuffnang coz you might find what you want and I might make few bucks over it too. Hehehe.. I used to be so lazy but after I personally witness 2 bloggers that received the cheque, I would say there’s no harm trying.

Support my blogging scene!

TWO

I checked-out Ah Lost’s blog and found another motivation to lose more weight blog by a SotongZai.

.:Yes it's real:.

I just lost a fat 5 kgs in January and February and gained another 3 kgs after the Miri and Sibu vacation. What the hell… Someone told me if you start to gain and lost weight all the time, the chances to get yourself a CANCER is high. This is due to body hormone unbalance and it will kinda fuck your life up with crazy system and ended up getting yourself sick. Choy Choy Choy.. I wouldn't want to imagine that.

Anyway, my diet plan starts again from today onwards. No more Teh Si Peng or Cola Light. No more my favoutire yellow Ligo raisin, no more supper, no more Teh Tarik for lunch, no more binge drinking session.

Tiamz… feels like a monk.

Since I talk about weight loss so much.. I will label it as weight loss. One day, if I am still in a size of a Big Bouncy Aerobic Ball or whatever you call it, I will know that I AM A FAILURE in keeping myself healthy.
