There's a lot of pasta brand out there in the market. Best is to read the label. You can compare. Usually, the labels would have 2 nutrition breakdown. One is per serving and another is usually per 100g. You can compare and pick your choices.

Some pasta are marketed as containingn more wholegrain than others.

Try them and see which one you like.

I dunno the prices in KL lah. You would have to do the comparison yourself.

Added on June 1, 2009, 4:59 pmActually, a thought just crossed my mind about skipping : maybe our bodies are either too heavy or we don't do enough exercise to strengthen back and knee or we're not getting the proper nutrition to let our body mend these parts or maybe we're not doing it right.

Anyway, if skipping is bad, wouldn't running be equally bad?

OO Someone's feeling good at BF!

zeist : all it takes is determination and you have plenty of it so far.

15%! go go!

redninja : Now that sounds like me today. Waiting for Wii to update the system but haven't finish the 30 min. So finish in 30 min but not so tired and think the pace was more steady so distance was further. But dunno if it's true that I burn 220 kcal.

You need someone to take the picture for you.

Wah! You really did buy tomatoes and broccoli! LOL! Good for you then!

U dun want to try roast beef?

Aoid. Eat the tomatoes raw lah. It's ok.

Hey Syd G! Bila Challenge #4? Was it suppose to be this week when we start or the next week ah?

I see a stampede towards Giant just for white stuff.

Adoi...

I needed to release tension a bit lah.

Oh, good luck on the kimchi. Me, I'll just pop by the nearby Korean restaurant and grab some from the owner.

Kerabu anchovies...hmm....aren't those just ikan pusuk that is peeled into half, mixed with purple shallots (juliennned) and chilli with lime juice squeezed over it? If that's the kerabu achovies that you're talking about, that's how my Granny makes it.

Hmm.... she only fries it if she's making it sweet with sugar or honey.

most of the time, she just dries it out in the hot sun and then just mix with the ingredients I mentioned. No oil though. It's not crunchy but we don't mind.

Well, if you wanted to control the oil, get the olive oil spray can. Less oil coming out.

Thinking of having japanese tomorrow. Now the question is raw or cooked salmon?

Looks as good as Syd G's lamb chop. Just take out the potatoes and you'd have a nice and healthy meal. Never knew that cherry tomatoes on the vine would so good.

Hmm.....tangine lamb chop is also good. Cook it with prunes will make it sweet and tasty.

This is super easy. If you guys don't have a grill, just buy one of those Japanese griller i.e. it's just a square shaped frying pan with a grill on top. There's a lot of Made-in-China ones that are pretty cheap. Expensive ones are at Parkson i.e. RM20 for a small one.

Hmm...I think I'm also shedding weight too fast this week. I could be wrong but I might be shedding 2 kg this week which isn't so good. The scale numbers are moving down faster than expected.

I can't sit on a recumbent bike for long. Lower backpain. But the normal bike sitting position is fine for me. Plus, I can feel the tush muscles tightening. Damn, feels good when that happens. LOL!

redninja : It's the meter reading that is fluctuating a bit. Should stabilize tomorrow as ate my salmon steak with lettuce + carrot grilled. Had one bowl of miso soup and the steamed egg. Also, 2 pcs of ebikko + rice. Small portion of rice to keep me satisfied. And surprisingly, for that amount of food, I was only 80% full. Didn't touch the bowl of rice that came with the set, only the 2 pcs of prawn roe + rice. Will see what is the aftereffects tomorrow.

35 min brisk walk on cross trainer. Feeling stronger now. Next Saturday, going to try 40 min and see how that takes me.

One thing I would need to do is do a comparison of fish prices against frozen salmon prices. Whether it's worth it or not.

Take prune or papaya. Those are quick fixes.

Taking more veggie doesn't help fix it fast sometimes. For veggies, go for the leafy kind - they have more insoluble fiber in them. If it doesn't work, may want to do a quick detox to clean the system a bit.

redninja : hmm...I also used to take yogurt to try to get the bowel movement going, even after eating 2-3 servings of veggies for meals everyday. The only thing that I didn't like was the smell of the stool after taking yogurt. Still a bit of lactose intolerance there.

So, I have tried natural brown rice vinegar and that did the trick. I'm on a daily cycle now without fail. But, I still take the vinegar (1 tsp in 2 tbsp room temp. water) everyday. I stop for 2 weeks and already can feel difference. Taking it again, feel better.

Just that healing crisis will come. I had small pimples on my skin for a week before it went away.

I ate junkfood while in UK for a snack. However, I learnt from my cousin : read labels. There's small packets of crisp for 97 calories from a pharmacy known as Boots.

And they had a really really good concept. You can have a low calorie meal with a snack, sandwich and 1L bottle mineral water for 4 pounds their money. All around 300-500 calories, depending on your selection.

And grats on your kimchi

Too late to wish you on your run.

But, hope that things work out for you!

Morning fatsos!

Got on scale today. Not good results after a Wedding Dinner last nite. No alcohol but still a 1 kg bump up.

Definitely riding bike today. And breakfast was chopped up salad with a quail egg and some feta cheese.

Hmm...I'll try the socks idea. May just work.
