Birthday Fulla Happies

My brother treated us to Japanese meal at Escapade last Sunday to celebrate his birthday. I ordered a bento that came with cold soba (my favourite)!! Yes, that's a quail egg. My parents kept reminding me to check my cholesterol level when I was preparing the dipping sauce by mixing in the quail egg. Well, eggs will build muscles. This's what I need right now, instead of all the fats, correct?! Haha, just kidding!!

The Greatest Mistake Is Giving Up

I thought I have cut down my carbo intake, "pull away my sweet tooth", and adopt a healthier lifestyle these days. Strangely, those people who see me these two weeks, keep telling me I have gained weight INSTEAD.

I wonder whether my sacrifices in the past 8 weeks made sense, or the exercise that I have carried out are not sufficient to support my weight loss goal.

I wonder how could those extra weight cling on to me when I am so careful with my diet.

I flipped through a glossy magazine in the salon when I was waiting for my hair to get done, and the report says my size is considered as obese in USA, UK, Australia, Hong Kong and Singapore, and I am also in the obese range using their "revised" BMI matrix.

I thought I've lost a kilo. Although I shouldn't be so happy about the mere 1 kilo. It's a good motivator, don't you agree?!

I knew I should be happy in whatever weight range I am, as long as I am healthy. But, which woman in the right mind would response with: "Oh yeah, I've gained weight .. oh that's good news. I've been wanting to gain a kilo or two to look more attractive!"

The only explanation I could give myself to my weight gain: I may be self-deceiving. I may be eating more than before to compensate the thought that I am exercising more now.

It's depressing when I found out that I couldn't wear my favourite clothes anymore. As time passes, they look so tiny to me now. How did I fit in those clothes before??

If I could lose 10 kilos before, why can't I do the same now?

Motivation

I bought this new shirt to reward myself for losing the first 1 kilo - it's still L size though, haha!

On My Fat Day

Tall and/or thin people just don't understand our fat issues. 

Run, Pancake Run

To date, I don't own anything from Tiffany & Co. It's not about the ability to own one, it's more about will I wear them and when will I wear them. I've never been an accessory person, though lately I seem to have the habit of wearing earrings. I don't like bracelets, and never like pendants and necklaces. I particularly dislike necklaces because it always "catches" my hair.

But .. I don't mind to own these cute necklace+pendant set from Tiffany & Co (which is part of the runner's kit in some of the US marathon races). May be runner's kit which includes such fabulous Tiffany & Co gift might motivate fat woman like me to finish a mere 10km run!

Weight Management

In order to keep to my "weight" promise, I had claypot noodles (I've chosen the no starch, clear soup base) for lunch. I am a "soupy" person because I love soups, but everyone in my family knows very well that I prefer everything I consume at room temperature including coffee and tea I am taking.

The claypot noodles was so hot that I almost burnt my tongue. I guess, despite I am keen to lose some weight, claypot noodles has topped my chart for never-again-consumed-food.

Diet progress: Completely no bread today

Weight progress: Nil, yet.

My Version Of Ideal Weight

I want to lose another 4.5 kg (defnitely, not another 23 lbs, haha ..). I've cut out bread, and reduced carbo intake in my diet. Unfortunately, due to my tight schedule these two weeks, I've eaten fatty food too. In the last two days, I have been eating fried spring rolls because that's the most convenient food I could find when I was hungry. So, minus 1 plus 1, I still haven't lost any. Weight loss: no progress, yet.
