Day 2 (April 17th)
7.00AM Body pump + 10 minutes of cycling - I was very distracted while cycling and focused more on the news. My heart goes out to those involved in the Virginia Tech massacre
9.15AM 2 high fiber bread with one slice of cheese low fat + 2 Haigh Chocolates doh.gif
11.00AM Omelet which consist of 2 eggs, chopped capsicums, chopped onions, mushrooms and grated cheddar cheese
2.00PM 1 chicken and mushroom pie with potatoes and garden salad on the side - I didn't eat most of the crust and avoided the Thousand Island dressing
4.30PM 1 fat free yogurt + 1 slice of papaya
7.30PM 4 slices of high fiber bread, 1 slice of low fat cheese, 2 eggs, small serving of corned beef, mushrooms and onions.

My thoughts on today:
. This is the first time I have every managed to get up in the morning to go to gym. I heard working out on an empty stomach in the morning is suppose to help your body burn more fat so I am gonna try and program myself to workout in the morning.
. My body feels quite sore especially my shoulders, and the left muscle/tendon between my thigh and pelvic bone.
. I am gonna give away all my chocolates tomorrow and cut down on cheese
. Had a very strong urge for ice cream after dinner. Am gonna hold it off.

What do you guys think of Bodypump? I have no idea how to do resistance training, so i am wondering if attending 2-3 sessions of Bodypump a week will be good enough...

I took some pictures yesterday but they are for my eyes only. I will probably take a few more which are more suitable for the general public viewing over the weekend.

I myself looking for calipers too  sad.gif  still can't find it around le... i've wento to curve and ikano. went to both johnson fitness and fitness concept.. both also dun have..


I am gonna get someone to see if Singapore has them....I heard they should cost around RM70-RM80. Gonna try ebay as well.

Here's my look at your diet. whatever bad fodd you can cut out, better cut out. But is your will power strong enough? when i say cut out, i don't mean cut out completely, you can still indulge in a cheat meal once a week. not too often or it'll negate the most of the effort.
Cheese like cottage cheese is fine. cheese in small amounts is also okay..
chocolates you have to cut down alot. apparently one pice of 20g chocolate is already over 150 calories. thats like... 10-20 mins worth of cardio  rolleyes.gif
so 2 chocolates in 1 day is alot le.. if can, just keep it to one piece a week? (hope thats not too drastic change for you)

Mc Donalds chicken foldover, used to be my favourite. but the foldover itsself is above 1000 calories. around 1200 cals if i'm not mistaken.  hmm.gif add the fries and softdrink in there, is enough for a day's total calories of around 2000 calories.
personally, anything from mc donalds would be out of MY diet. so i wouldn't recomend McD to dieters.

jsut wondering, for your breakfast omelette is it cooked with oil? butter?
*
Thanks for your effort to comment on my food intake. Honestly my will power is dam weak, which is why I am here: I NEED ALL YOUR SUPPORT!!! laugh.gif But yeah, I am gonna minimize fast food to a maximum of once in 2 weeks and give out the dam chocolates. As for the cheese, I'll try to use the low fat version and will slowly try and cut down.

For my eggs I am using PAM cooking spray, which is basically olive oil.

I don't use butter for cooking, not even on my bread. I also try to stay away from sauces where possible. Most of my food is seasoned using salt, pepper, onion and garlic.


QUOTE(Kelvinz @ Apr 17 2007, 05:36 PM)
In my opinion, if you really want to be fit you have to eat healthy food.
Before eat those fattening food like chocolate, ice-cream, etc... ask yourself, "is it I really need to eat? what will happen if I don't eat this chocolate?" wait for 2 minutes before you put it into your mouth, after that you will lose your interest to eat the chocolate. Or else, within the 2 minutes, talk to yourself that the after eat the chocolate you will be fat, etc....sweat.gif

eat more protein food, some cottage cheese is ok, just don't over the limit. Try not to starve yourself, eat those steam food is encourage.

most important is determination....

Well, this is my opinion thumbup.gif

Thanks for comment. I really felt like ice cream after dinner today but asked myself if i really needed it. I drank some tea and am here in front of my computer reading all the nice stuff you guys wrote instead of stuffing myself. laugh.gif

Hi there,

Yeah, i think being fit is all about lifesytle and making the right choices in food intake and exercise.

I am a member of fitness first, but I am totally lost when it comes to weights training. I guess i need to read up and slowly ease into it.

only for cardio but not weight training. You need to eat before you lift or else you won't have the energy to lift well.

Hmmm I am guessing these are the picture taken back at the LYN BBQ. I really hate those pictures and hope they remain buried forever. It was very very unflattering.

I use *surprise* *surprise* - BUTTER!. 3 sticks of butter in 6 weeks - am losing bodyweight VERY SLOWLY but losing a lot of bodyfat. There's a science behind consuming more fat to burn fat but I'll leave that for another day wink.gif

Well, some tips i get from other article, besides all the tips you can get from this forum, i add those you "never" heard tips:
1) get enought sleep, sleep before 12am (myself is 11pm, last time I was 12am -1am)
2) drink more waterdrink 2 liter water (i force myself tooo, last time I was 200ml per day sweat.gif )
3) drink green tea or chinese tea, good for fat absorption (heard green tea is better)
4) "rendam" your leg in hot water + some salt ( heard good for blood circulation, not sure good or not, salt function heard is kill bacteria in your leg)
5) try eat your dinner before 7:30pm
6) no sweet stuff
7) chew your food slowly, seperate meat and rice when eat(means you only can put either rice or meat in the spoon you going to put into your mouth sweat.gif , maybe to encourage you chew slower)
8) some article say, you only will feel you are full after 20mins.So, you stop eatting if you think you should full for 20mins to see you really full or not sweat.gif
9) only eat white meat like chicken, etc..etc..
10) before eat, try to drink 1 cup of water. (heard will shrink your stomach and you will feel full faster) sweat.gif
11) drink water at morning after wake up
12) drink soup then only start eat
13) eat fruit better then drink fruit juice.
14)only eat chickent breast, no those drumstick...chicken wing..etc..etc
15)don't eat while doing anything (watch TV, do homework..etc..etc, you will over eat without notice)
16)brush your teeth after every meal (pervent to eat again)
17)don't think your stomach as "tong sampah" (don't eat whatever people left to you, or whenever you think full, don't eat anymore)
18)eat spicy food ( to make metabolism rate higher)
19) massage your tummy before sleep (they didn't stated time, maybe 5 mins, some say use a rod for massage is easier)
20)do not eat any skin (chicken skin..etc..etc)
21)everytime eat, only eat 80% full
22)drink cold water (heard your stomach need energy to burn up the cold water so use more energy, aka. calories)


hope the info can help you, some of the "rules" is good for health i know, but some are just myth. biggrin.gif

Day 3 (April 18th)
7.30: Treadmill for 35 minutes (5.0 average speed, 6.8 average elevation)
9.30: 2 slices of high fiber bread with 1 slice of low fat cheese
11.30: Omelet which consist of 2 eggs, chopped capsicums, chopped onions, mushrooms and corn beef
1.30: Caesar Salad
5.00: 1 cup fat free yougurt and papaya
7.30: salmon with broccoli, onions, garlic, mushrooms, tomatoes and capsicum

My thoughts on today
I woke up early for gym for the second day in the row, yeah me!
My biceps cramped today while doing Bodypump...it was embarrassing, I was only lifting 2.5kg plates on each side.
No chocolates today!!! Yeah, me!

I would like to thank everyone for their kind words, tips and comments. It has made the past 3 days a lot easier.

Hehehe. I think I forgot to tell to new dieters this : Learn to read labels. It's a fun activity. They take away the fat and refill it with sugar. In my book that's really evil. It makes you eat more than needed since it potrays the "its okay, it's low fat and I can eat more cause it doesnt make me fat" image.

If it's full fat I bet that you're going to eat it real slow. Fat fills you up - carbs doesnt.

This only applies to plain yogurt. Full fat flavoured yogurt is even eviler.

What!!!??? More calories in fat free yogurt??? /faints. When I do my weekly grocery shopping on Sunday, I'll be scrutinizing the labels carefully!
