charge-n-go : nice one. Hope you're better now after the accident!

bubb13s : Hmm...if you wanna skip panadol, then more deep heat. Hehehe! Maybe have to self-urut regularly.

There's a very good medicated plaster that you can get from any pharmacy known as Sinma Herbal Medicinal plaster (picture of a tiger on it). Better than the Salonpas plaster. This is my current fav koyok. No tiger was killed during the making of it.

charge-n-go : Good for you. I tweak my diet a bit as well so that can drop my weight some more. I found out more about carb intolerance i.e. certain people respond more easily to carb decrease than others.

I still eat carbs. Sometimes temptation breaks me down. Like the CHANG LAST NITE!!! LOL! To make up for it, today no carbs. And I made a bear and fish shaped egg for breakfast. And eating more veggie for breakfast.

Syd G :




I use egg moulds that I got for RM5 for 2. You can find it in Daiso shops in KL or the 100 yen shop, also around KL.

Boil egg. Then remove shell while warm. Chuck them into the mould and dip the whole thing into ice water for 15 min. It's new shape after that.

Rest of breakfast today was plum tomatoes (very sweet!) and some leftover raw carrots that I chopped up since I was using them for cut-out shapes.

Syd G : Heh! No prob. I stop taking half-boiled because I didn't quite like the sticky feeling. I take it very rarely now.

Will be substituting one of the eggs for more veggie though. 2 eggs in the morning wasn't a good idea. Too full now.

Afternoon is trying the 5 km/hr @ 15% incline walk.

All I need is to visualize you as a small round face icon yelling at me by at me, "Lose that grip, FATSO!"

LOL!

you know, you can cook veggies and hide t hem in your eggs lah.

And you eat so much pasta. Wah! Not boring meh? preparing the same way.

My lunch :



Ginger chicken breast with black mushroom and slices of ginger.



Veggie portion : Stir-fry chai sim (Chinese mustard green) with garlic, mirin and Lea & Perrins sauce. I think that's 1 teaspoon of chopped omelette leftovers from the other nite. Actually, in total was 4 plum tomatoes instead of 2, as I look at it and realised I needed more veggie. And flowery carrots (the unwanted carrots were eaten in the morning).

Sigh. Also took 2 small square pieces of chocolate that went around the office. From some visitors we had.

Syd G : Yummy lunch! Am planning to get a new oven because the old one was too small.

metalfreak : Hmm... you could do your own tomato paste. But need time and during weekend. I made some from veggie and blending it. Then freeze them into ice-cubes! LOL! So when I need, I take 2 out and put with veggie.

zeist : Trust me when I say that I have turn over a new leaf about fried and oily food. The amount of carbs that I eat and the oil that I put into stir-fry isn't enough for my body. Had to upped my fish oil until the itchiness and dryness stop. I see my fingers dried up and itchy but take 1 capsul of fish oil and within minutes, skin is hydrated and no longer itchy. To control oil, I usually put 1 teaspoon olive oil. If I'm making omelette very very thin, then I use olive oil cooking spray to control it.

It's coming out next month. Pedometer for Nintendo DS. LOL! You also get to measure your steps against other people around the world.

What can I say? I'm geeky at heart.

kurtkob78 : Either peanuts or change fish oil or take flax seeds/oil.

One positive thing though is that when I cheat a bit, it doesn't impact my weight so much like before. If I cheated before, immediately gain about 0.5 kg. I don't cheat that often since I got back from UK.

I hate the feeling of pinpricks though. Very very irritating.

Skylive : Rethink how you cook at home to make the food tasty that you don't have to eat out much.

elnino : Hiyas! Welcome! Enjoy your stay here. Your motivation point sounds like mine. My cousin died of a heart failure after a heart attack at the age of 38. And another one had a stroke at that age. So I didn't want to get into that situation either.

metalfreak : and tomato and capsicum. you could also add a bit of chilly into the taste.

syd g : LOL! Well, tougher than I thought and nearly trip because I was walking too widely paced on the treadmill. I stop at 30 min after I noticed I had tripping issues more often.

I couldn't do 5 km/hr @0% incline for long so I settled for 4.5 km/hr @ 5%. I did a total of 30 min. 2 min warmup I think though. Then about 5 min of 4.5 km/hr @ 15% and 5 min with incline @ 10%.

Then I stop and nearly fell over! LOL! Head spinning.

Syd G : lol! Only to catch myself when I lost my balance completely once. Other times, I could catch myself so didn't hold the bar.

And when I stop too fast after the 30 min. Had to hold for awhile but already stop. Hahaha!

Ouch. Hmm...have you tried buying from Top Point? It's in Tabuan Jaya behind KFC. My Granny shops there. They have pretty cheap prices and bargain with them, they may bring it down lower. Although I dunno if they stock HL.

How about UNACO? They are the next cheapest. Boulevard can sometimes be expensive in Kuching.

zeist : foodstuff are always more expensive in sarawak than KL side. Well, usually anyways. If import from Klang side, more expensive. If send directly to Kuching from overseas, it's cheaper.

U mean pasteurized milk and non pasteurized? Long storage time for pasteurized and I think you can keep them out of the fridge provided that the area u keep them in is dark and not hot.

LOL! This is the male version shopaholic. Don't forget to chuck the whey into the fridge wor (if I remember what one of the posters mentioned before).

Added on May 30, 2009, 8:48 pmmetalfreak : ah okie. LOL! I guess if one is putting on weight, ok lah. Have you tried other types of pasta though? There's some wholegrain ones but not sure if you like them.

Or different styles of cooking pasta. And eat more than broccoli lah. >:(

kmaru : Why say sorry when we can't force you anyways? This challenge is not about forcing. It's about ppl supporting one another but that's about it.

sky.live : It's only hard the first time. What Syd G is trying to do is get you all used to setting goals and being focused about it. You'll find that it helps to take the baby steps that she's done otherwise it gets overwhelming if you were ask to set mini goals, goals, meal plans in the beginning.

Try it. It's only hard the first time. After that, it gets easier. If you need help, I'm on MSN as synxia@hotmail.com

She's right there. Hmm....last time I went swimming, I used to take a break when I felt my stomach achy. A few minutes and got my 2nd wind. Then really can continue on for awhile. LIke another hour. >.>

But yeah, take a break. Especially if you have work or college the next day.

Mine was slow. I think it was something like 30 jumping jacks before knee and back scream ouch. Then 30 min on elliptical.

It was so tempting....

Oopppss...ok. then skipping no either then. Can't hit 7 km/hr yet. I have problems keeping at 5 km/hr stable.

Ah well. Well, good news is that scale has moved down half a kilo this morning and with clothes on.

Week 1 : Maintain 30 min session, running speed hitting 5 km/hr. Lose 1 kg.
Week 2 : Maintain 40 min session, running speed hitting 5-6 km/hr. Lose 1 kg.
Week 3 : Maintain 50 min session, running speed hitting 5-6 km/hr. Lose 1 kg.
Week 4 : Maintain 60 min session, running speed hitting 5-6 km/hr. Lose 1 kg.

LOL! Thanks!

It's only fast because I'm still very heavy. There will come a point when it will slow down alot.

Also, I time my carbo intake that only take carbo after exercise. And also upping exercise a bit. I'm a lazy wuss.

Total lost now is about 12.5 kg.
