Carbo blocker

pics : google

Well...I'm trying very hard to shed the extra fat gained during raya. I even completed my Nike RUN and Mizuno RUN in 2 consecutive weeks...on top of it..I also took carbo blocker.!!


Sadly to say...all seems doesnt work on me...huwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrgghhh!!!!


Basically I just want to share with your peeps..in case anybody is considering taking this carbo blocker..my advice is : DONT BOTHER...it's not working at least for me..reason being..I dont normally plan my meal..I snack in between.. ..and this pill you have to take 30 mins before your meal. Most of the time I'm too hungry to wait 30 mins for the pills to start working, as a result it's gone to waste


Now...since I've already bought, by hook or by crook I feel obligated to finish this..and it cost me RM150 a bottle for the supply of 1 month.

happy weekends peeps!!!

The pursuit of shedding extra unwanted fat

Hello peeps!!

welcome back..I'm sure most of you have just started work today:) I on the other hand, was here since last Tuesday...no more annual leave left..hence i got to be back at work earlier.

By the way...Syawal has always been a challenging month for me..each year I will gain exra fat due to stuffing myself with cookies..yesss I'm a cookie monster..and every year I'll spend a lot..a loooooott on cookies...and believe me..it's not wasted at all..80% will go to my stomach...this year..in the house we have an extra of 3 more cookie monsters (my gals love cookies as much as I do..so I guess money well spent:) however, the end result has always not very pleasing..I've packed kilossss

And this year..I've found new approach......

I'm signing up myself for RUN, I've registered Nike run and Mizuno RUN, I've got my hubby to join me for both runs, of course I'll join the 5KM while he will go for 10KM and 11KM.

So, I'll try to complete puasa 6 this week and on weekends I'll run with hubby at the park..hopefully I will manage to shed those unwanted fat.

till then take care peeps

My fail attempt:(

Ok..I fail miserably last night.

Blame it on my contact lense..I've been in discomfort due to stupid lense this whole week, so yesterday I decided, I had enough..on the way back I stopped by at the nearby mall determined to dispose the current lense and get a new one...

I was fasting, and mr hubby was having his evening routine - playing squash..so I thought it's a good thing as I can use that excuse to breaking fast alone with my KELLOGG's K ...

As fate would have it.......as I was about to leave the optical shop...taddddaaaaaaaaaaaaa....MR TEPPANYAKI was just few steps away..SALMON TEPPANYAKI.....!!!!!
Contemplating..SALMON..Kellogg's K..Salmon..Kellogg's K...Salmon..Kellogs K.....

Of course..SALMON won..what do you expect right???..so there goes my determination..goes down the drain:(

With oil, butter, salt, rice etc...made it very very sinful and yummy!!!! I had to refrain myself from finishing the whole bowl of rice..but still 2/3 finished:(

So basically that's what happened to my semangat yg berkobar in the afternoon..so today I started right..had my first bowl of Kellogg's K, a cup of coffee in the morning..afternoon ..caesar salad..(yummmmm!!!!)

I finished this huge portion this afternoon with 3 glasses of apple juice (slightly excessive in sugar intake:( )

Pray hard I would stick to the rules for the rest of the day..! Ya Allah berilah Aku kekuatan!

Yang sedang berusaha...

My 2 weeks challenge starts today

Ok, today 1st April (what a day to start something) it's not an april fool...I plan to start my diet again. re-ignite the dying fire..ha..haa:)

Last night when I did my groceries shopping and my kids were busy choosing their own favorite cereals, I saw this Kellogg's special K's offer- buy 2 big boxes you will get a free starter pack - Unwrap a new you with Kellogg's special K

So, being me a sucker for free stuff:) I went ahead took 2 of those. Went home and read the instructions and somehow I got inspired to give a second chance. To tell you the truth I've tried this once and it didn't work because then I didnt exercise at all..so this time around I'm determined to follow the rules (definitely not so strict:))

Here I go....I'm going to start my 2 weeks challenge - kellogg's special K.

• breakfast and dinner with Special K - 165 grams per serving (1 bowl)


• lunch and in between snacks should be low in fat and loaded with veggies


• if hunger strikes in between meals, snack on fruits and veggies


• 30 mins exercise routine daily (not that bad afterall huh?)

Since today I'm fasting, I figure it's the best way to start, I plan to do a brisk walking this evening before breaking fast and have a bowl of special K (I hope I wont become one cranky mommy tonight due to hunger pangs)

By the way..the starter pack comes with vouchers from celebrity fitness (i don't find it useful as I'm already a member to a gym which I've abondoned classes for almost 3 months now) plus my office has a quite sophisticated gym complete with shower and sauna. (I should use them one of these days..next week perhaps)

So all the best to me....and I'll share with you the progress;)

Diet part 2

I have been missing my squash classes since early february, both my coach and I were busy, it's either dia ada tournament, or Bukit Jalil courts full sebab the "real" players were training for the tournaments or I was out of town on weekends, until yesterday baru I dapat attend the class, which means he has not received any feedback from me on my diet program:) (I was given his personal email to update him on my daily progress)

So yesterday once he saw me, "eeehhhhh..I think you lost weight!" apa lagi I pun melompat with joy laa..dah laa the day before my beautician yg I dah abondoned for 3 months commented the same..I guess the diet program works.

Then my coach was telling me about the new program he and the wife are planning to start. this is considered the second phase. The program is for 10 days. 5 days diet, 1 day break and continue again for 5 days. That doesnt sounds too bad isn't it??

The program is purely to detox your body, NO MEAT..any kind of animal's meat. But you can eat all sort of vegetables, fruits and soy products, like soya bean and tofu, you can also eat nuts such as pecan, almonds..he even suggested to take granola bar or power bar if in between meals I got hit with the hunger pangs but cannot be too many bars laa,..in moderate one bar and a mug of plain water to make the hunger go away. You can keep muching the apple in between meals

To start this programme for 5 days..susahnya nak mula..pagi2 lagi I dah "termakan" bread with peanut butter yg my maid prepared for my girls..hmm..scratching my head fikir bila nak start ni......I guess for me I would rather run for 20 KMs than letting go of my chicken, fish or my favorite Steak @chillis:(

Diet ohh diet

I'm fat..

I was in denial initially..it's all started when I changed job and gradually I piled on kilos. I used to walk..a long walk daily to the office as I commuted via train..LRT..change train etc..but for new office, I traveled by car, so I cut down apporximately 2 KMs daily of back and forth. ..

I used to go to the gym 7 days a week, I stopped for years, even that doesnt make me FAT..until I join this new company..cutting down on walking really taking its toll on me

So when I realized I couldn't fit into my jeans I started panicking and looking for things to do to shed those extra kilos..I signed up swimming, I went for body combat classes, squash, signed up for gym..all didn't work...I lost hope:(

Until recently,my coach was looking for people to join his wife loosing kilos to fit into her cheongsam for Chinese New Year..I immediately signed in. I had to email him on daily basis of my food intake.

the rule is simple, the program is just one month. 3 days no carbo at all..not even sugar. 4th day you can eat a little bit of carbo in order for you to continue the next 3 days without carbo again, it goes on for 30 days. In the meantime, you need to do a simple exercise daily, brisk walking for 35 minutes. Just that..no bootcamps, no gym, no fancy exercise.

It works..it works for me..even I cheated quite a lot during the program, the days I had my coffee or bread, I'll not update my coach;) but it still works..I lost 2 kilos. Fantastic enough, I managed to get rid of my girdle..which is part of my attire for the last 6 months.

I still have 8 more kilos and still fat but at least I've made a progress:)
