Journey of Inches Be Gone?

2009-05-24T10:30:00.000-07:00

This shall be my posting ground. I want to have a total makeover.

I want to quit smoking. No, seriously, this time it is for real. I just smoked my last cigarette and I do not wish to smoke anymore and let it control my life. I do not just wish to say it but not do anything, so I am going to list down all the pros and cons of why I want to quit smoking.

Pros:

*it gives me something to do when I am bored: What I can do, read a book, write something, anything.

* it's time for me to catch up when my friends and family light up : Do I really need to?

Cons:

*money
*health
*beauty
*smell

Let''s try this shit and let me get back to u. We'll take things one day at a time. I will try not smoking tomorrow and see how easy it is.

Let's go!

The reunion

Ok, so the last time i posted was on the 11/07/ 2007!!!

And you know what, I still have not lost that weight yet. Tough I believe who I am right now is totally different from who I was back then, with all that free time on my hands. Was at Livejournal for a bit but I think I am coming back here. Just feels better now at Blogger.

Ok, so let me just post up some pics.

Now, do u see how much it has escalated?
Thus, I decided to write this since nobody really reads this anyway.

Ok, food for today,

Self made, chicken burger with cheese and sunny side up
A bottle of orange juice.

Plate of spaghetti marinara.

I have been stuffing my face with chocolate, pastries and fried stuff. Ok, enough. Starts back now.

Weight currently, 60 kg.
*hides face in shame.

Though, seriously, I think i still look good. Just a bit pudgy and I don't like looking pudgy.
BLuek.

Ok, let's start over.

My weight's yo-yo-ing terribly and I see the days I used to cram in for gym in my previous organizer and I guess I am underestimating my body once again.

Right now, I occupy my time with a lot of things and I most often than not find excuses sounding very much like, "I'll do it tomorrow" or 'I can afford a curry puff after all these hell I've been through.' And then once again, the closest and dearest remind me oh how fat I look or how disgusting and I retaliate by stuffing that curry or brownie in my face even though I cannot stomach it anymore. And once or twice, I try to puke it out before slapping my face silly not because it could harm my health but because I am afraid of my teeth rotting and then I slap it again because I should worry about my health.

Until my brother snapped a picture of my from the back and I went 'Yikes'.

And it is not just the physical element of it. I am tired, my back hurts, I get really agitated so I don't want to just talk. Instead, I am going to try to stick to my 4 times a week, 45 minutes run for two weeks. If I succeed and I see the weight loss, I am going to continue with the same zest I have for saving. (I really can). But the thing I am going to change right now is that I am going to alternate running with swimming and dancing. After the first two weeks.

If unsuccessful, Imma bite the bullet and hire a personal trainer. It doesn't matter which gym.

Current weight: 57 kg. (Yikes)

Ideal weight for me: 51 kg. Min 50kg. Not any more than that. I wouldn't like it.

BAD CHAR KWAY TEOW

This is not good. Exam's period here.

Thus, when I am not smoking, I find myself pecking on things.
My weakness? MR PRINGLES! It's true, once u pop, u can't stop.

And I am craving oily fried stuff and after one week of not watching what I eat, I try to maintain within the 21oo calories we all need. I usually wake up late now so breakfast is gone.

And then comes a dish of bad bad lunch. So, I skip dinner and drink Soya Bean. People have been saying I lost weight and my boobs have gone down a lil bit. SO, I better not succumb to my desires right now because that would mean my holidays would be chubby lil me running around in Sentosa.

Gym session starts again once exams end. Which is on 24th.Because right now, I am a bz person. As usual.

Still busy

2007-07-30T00:05:00.000-07:00

I have no time now to go to the gym as often as I did due to the upcoming examinations and stuff.

So all I have done is to steer clear of fried food like the plaque(except for the Fried Kway Teow after Obar) and keep having soupy stuff and eating only when I am hungry and I have lost a total of 2 kg.

Thank you all! WOOTS

Treadmill:

Time: 40 minutes
Speed: varies from 7.3-8

Met this personal trainer. A woman who enjoys her food and at 36, she has legs to die for. But since she did not cut down on her food intake has bellies like the rest of us, normal human beings.

Next gym session: Wednesday.
No change in weight yet but body seems to moving faster and mind seems to be more alert though late nights are more difficult to cope with since I start yawning at ten, miraculously only on weekdays.

Short term Goal: lose 1.5 kg by the end of the week
Long term goal: 50 kg in 6 months.

Food intake: Quacker cookies and cream nutritional bars. YUMME-YAY!
Fish, veggies and wedges in the afternoon-YAY!
Half serving of rice, curry and veggies -BOO!

Morning: No breakfast
Lunch: Chicken chop with brocolli and mashed potato
Soya Bean
Dinner: Hotdog bun, HoneyDew Milkshake Bubble Tea
Supper: Bread with cheese, Ovaltine.

Today I felt my best after moving so much. Energized, I feel the difference already. Now, the results will be a tad slow and my current weight shall not be revealed but the weight loss/gain will.

I have been a bad girl today.

I ate 4 slices of pizza from Pizza Hut
And lots of coke.

So,to make up for it, I did not eat dinner, drank lots of water and skipped ropes 200 times.

Food intake:

Morning: Oats
2 eggs, scrambled
Ovaltine

Lunch: Black pepper chicken sandwhich @ Splash&Decker
Green Tea

Dinner: TomYam soup & some lean pieces of chicken
Lots of plain water

Sin City: Cheese sausage from the Pasar Malam. Couldn't help it, but it kinda sucked ass, that hotdog.

Activities: 200 jump ropes (Get this month's SHAPE edition, they are giving away skipping ropes that keep count of the frequency of your workout)

Sweep, mop, dust, what-nots the whole house.

That's it as I am actually busy doing my project now. So keep in touch, k because even I dun know what is the outcome of this thingy.

Start up

2007-06-28T08:35:00.000-07:00

I am sick and tired of being paranoid when I think people are looking at the bulge whenever I sit. SO from now on, I am making a journal right here in my trusted bloggie and highlight the ups and downs on what I am going to do to change this body to the one I once knew.

So first and foremost, let me update on what horrendous things I ate today,

Morning: 3 dollars carrot cake
Cornetto ice cream
Plain water

Afternoon: Cheese sausage
Otah2
Bubble Tea

Evening: 1 plate of pasta
5 small pieces of fish
Chicken
Potato salad

Activities I did: Had sex

I do not like my hair, I need to lose weight and tone up my body and need to start looking after my skin condition.

But all of that can change, all with exercise and money and effort to upgrade me instead of being stuck in a rut and that is what I will keep updating on.

Typical day in the gym- Aim: 50 minutes cardio
20 crunches
20 sit ups
100 jumping jacks

Food: Breakfast: Oats in the morning
Coffee

Lunch: Yong Tau Foo or any other soupy things (which are much better and tastier anyway, plus it won’t make you feel like shit)

Green Tea/Plain water

No food after 6.

Just 1 can of Soya bean allowed at night.

And this will stay that way till I lose my first 5 kg. Then again, my discipline would be tested and I am not going to lie here, so if I fall, it would be painfully stated here so that the possibility of me doing it again is minimal.

What can I say, I am but a subtle perfectionist. Yes, there is such a thing, dun say anything.
