Plans..

It's not too late to wish everyone Happy New Year, right? Happy New Year people!

New Year's Eve was spent sleeping but woke up a few seconds because of the fireworks then continued on sleeping.. Felt like an elderly couple..

New year, more plans to come.. I don't think it's lame to have new year's resolutions..

2010 was indeed a boring year for me, so I plan to give 2011 an exciting one..

At the end of last year, we fell in love with Bandar Seri Putra.. Yes, it's 30km to Putrajaya and almost 80km to KL but we love the neighbourhood so much.. It's nicely planned, it has school, suraus, KUIS is nearby and it's UML*nds. We went to UML*nd's sales gallery and asked for their upcoming projects nearby, the 450K terrace house is sold out and 2011's projects are clusters which starts at RM600K and Semi-Ds which starts at 700K.. *wipe sweats*

We have been to many areas 20-30km radius of Putrajaya and we want a freehold house so that it's easier to resell it, therefore it left us not much of a choice.. Kajang is just too hectic.. Freehold house in Puchong is either not in our range of budget or it's not worth the money because the build-up is so small..

And no, we haven't decided on the house yet.. Just the area for a start.. Hehe

For the passed month, we learned that in buying a house, we can never get everything we want. Of course, if we had hundreds of thousand in the bank account, we can just pick and choose any house. But we don't have that..

After sacrificing a lot through out the year being stingy and all, we are glad that we managed to focus on our most top priority. The traveling, the shoes, the bags, new gadgets, those can wait but the house, the longer we delay the higher the price will rise and the income we received won't make it to pay the monthly loan. Plus, a huge sum is needed for the down-payment, the legal fees, the stamping etc, etc. phewww

Second plan is get ourselves a baby. :) Firstly, we have to try the very best to breed our own, we'll go to the clinics, urut2an, medications modern, religious, homeopathy etc, etc.. And if it destined we can't get one, we'll adopt one. We are not getting any younger so we shall not waste more time.

Third is to shed 5 kgs. 5 kgs will do. I managed to retain my weight since April therefore in order to shed weight, I just have to do more activities OR to eat less and do more activities to make the plan achieved faster then I can make new plan later.. hehe

Fourth is to have beautiful skin and hair. I freaked out to see fine wrinkles near the eye and the hair isn't showing a healthy growth. I hate pimples and the black scars. So this year, I MUST dedicate myself a few minutes of 24 hours a day and a few days of 365 days a year for my beauty sake. I've started a new skin regime and so far, good signs are showing. Alhamdulillah..

Those are the 4 biggest plan for 2011..

Then I have a few 'small' resolutions like make full use of the daily book given by the G.. hehe

And of course, the MOST IMPORTANT one is to be a good ummah, wife, daughter, sister, friend and employee.. (Eh, the career went last.. hehe)

InsyaAllah..

Another plan..

a. There are days when you felt like doing nothing when stepping into your office room, rasa nak tidur dan boring jer..
b. There are days when you work like crazy, semua laju2 sampai tak makan lunch pun tak rasa lapar..
c. And there are days where you work as usual, tak laju, tak juga lembab lepastu kejap2 cari kudap2an ape dalam laci..

Yang paling ideal adalah b, tapi jangan la sampai tak makan..

Tapi harini saya adalah a..

1. sebab pms.
2. sebab berat cuma turun 300g, itu pun ralat plus minus kot.

omg, ni cerita pasal berat badan lagi ke?

ehehehe..

Diet hancur minggu lepas sebab:
a. Pergi outstation ke Temerloh, hospital jamu nasi kerabu for morning break (nasi utk morning break tu!) then gulai ikan patin for lunch.. Hancur..
b. Belakang buku lali sakit lepas tu lutut pun sakit, jadi tak pergi jogging..
c. Asyik makan keropok je sebab minggu lepas cuacanya mendung2 saja, sesuai betul makan keropok goreng dan teh'o ais limau.

On certain things, I'm very impatient. Macam nak hilangkan jerawat kat muka, malam ni pakai dalacin-T dah expect sok muka licin bak kulit telur.. Dan lagi satu, nak turunkan berat badan, seminggu tak makan nasi dah expect badan turun 3kg.. peh.. camtu, takdela orang gemok kat dunia ni..

So, I reviewed my diet plan.
1. I can't live without carbs. I love fruits and bread.. I can live without rice, but without fruits, tak boleh..
2. I hate drinking that supplementary drink. I had to add in ribena so it will taste better. Lepas tu mata merah berair tahan nak muntah.

Again, I'm changing the plan. (See, tak sampai sebulan dah tukar plan...)

I did some reading yesterday about fitness and dieting, then I came across this real life story from a girl who manage to cut down 10kgs without having to diet or did strenuous exercise.

Add on to all those reading, I came up with this plan:
1. Brisk walking EVERYDAY for not less than an hour. Calories start burning after 20mins of continuous physical activity. Since I hate jogging, brisk walking for 1 hour per day won't feel that stressful eh? Jalan laju2 la, jangan jalan macam couple teenagers pergi dating, saja jalan lambat2 supaya lambat sampai destinasi..
2. No unhealthy fatty snacks in between meals. Say no to chocolates, keropok2, biskut2 (Biskut kering Jacob's untuk orang berpantang tu boleh la). Bila rasa lapar craving for tidbits, minum air suam, makan buah atau makan roti high fibre.
3. Aktiviti mengelap rumah dikerapkan. Dulu sekali seminggu, sekarang 2x seminggu.
4. Wash clothes manually. Selain menambah aktiviti fizikal, kurang juga bundut baju bawak balik ke rumah mama tiap hujung minggu. hehehe

This plan should last for at least 6 months.. On my 27th birthday, I MUST have the weight like when I was 19.. Kamarul Redzuan Nali sila jangan gelak

I want to print this plan + a picture of Yaya kurus and place it everywhere in the house dengan tajuk PLAN 26 APRIL 2011 BERAT 48kg.

Say no to:

Chocolate sedap dalam locker kat office..

Pada ketika ini, Yaya sedang menahan diri supaya tidak mencapai coklat tersebut.. Merana siut...

Diet - Day 4

Yesterday was the fourth day. No carbs and daily jog at the park. On the 3rd day, I nearly fainted after 1 round. Terus kena marah dengan Wan, "Lenkali makan lebih sikit sebab tak makan karbohidrat"

Baiklah! :)

So far, I'm doing great.

Today, the office organized a small event bace yasin dan tahlil. Wow, sooooooo many food. I quickly ran away from all those yummilicious food after the event but couldn't resist not having a bite of karipap and cucur badak. Now, saya menyesal. Therefore, just soup for lunch ok Yaya.

Can't wait to weigh myself next Wednesday :)

Positive impact

What makes you sad even more; the fact that you're not pregnant yet or someone thought you're pregnant (because you looked kinda, errr fat)??

*cry*

People are so insensitive nowadays aren't they?

*cry again*

*then laugh*

I may not have any say on the first because it's the God's thing, I can pray and hope for the best but the latter, the power is in my hand to change it, if I'm willingly want to and determine enough to do it.

So, it started last Sunday. Went jogging in the morning. Yesterday, I cut all my carbs intake, take my supplementary diet drink 4 times daily which I dread drinking it (not tasty at all) and decide to jog every evening after work at Putra Perdana.

It was a success yesterday and hopefully for the next 4 weeks.

All the best Yaya! p(^_^)q

I'm back

Tarik balik farewell eventhough no one misses me.. :D

******

I'm not proud of what I did just now.

The nasi lemak with ayam goreng berempah was so irresistable. I took a small plate of it, ate with no regret.

When the tummy said, "cukup2 ar tu" after a cup of coffee, regrets creeping inside..

Why did I eat that nasi lemak when lunch was in 1 hour... I'm having lunch at home with Joe and he will make sure I have my lunch...
Nyesal-nyesal...

The psychological effect was just too great to resist, the tummy didnt feel that nice, I was feeling dizzy. So I went to the toilet, stucked my middle finger inside the throat and blugrh...

This is the 2nd time this week..

Not good, not good..

I know it's not healthy and people with this syndrome may get cavities easier compare to normal people. I hate that fact because I love my teeth. I take really good care of them.

But I cant deny that part of me do feel good when I forced these fatty food out of my system.

Imagine when you cant control your hunger, you binged. Remorsed. Threw up and tadaaa, you didnt feel hungry anymore.. Satisfaction guaranteed..
Seriously, I felt full eventhough there's nothing inside my tummy.

And I know, it's a waste of food. Better off give that protion I ate to someone who really needs it.

*sigh*

Esok puase...ganti :D (Lagi sebulan setengah nak Ramadhan beb)

Food

I'm not a big fan of food. For me, food is something I eat to give me energy and nutrition. And that's just all.

I dislike eating at places I'm not familiar with unless I'm going with someone who would take the trouble to order it for me. Pemalas tau.

Luckily, I'm married to someone who is exactly like me except that he is a sweet-tooth to the extreme. (cuba letak coklat 1 bar besar sebelah die, die boleh habiskan dalam mase 1/2jam..hee)

So, we're a couple who will not spend a huge sum of money for just food [except fruits and veges]. Food is not my comfort. We will not spend rm20 for 3 scoops of ice-cream. For us, it is outrages outrageous.

And my definition of sedap is mestilah tidak tawar, pahit, terlalu manis, masin, masam atau terlalu banyak penambah perasa. [kalau lepas makan rase dahaga, means banyak penambahan perasa umami] dan tempat makan yang baik ialah bersih dan tiada lalat atau bau busuk. So when people asked me, sedap tak spaghetti tu, kalau menepati ciri2 di atas, saya cakap sedap walaupun sesetengah orang kate, spaghetti yang sedap mesti rase mcm ni, mcm ni. Tak faham ek?

When people ask us about this eating place or that eating place, the answer will always be a simple no, we never try that place yet. We don't know many nice eating places. We hate to venture. Plus, we take extra caution on every single thing that goes inside the system. So, whenever we want to go to an unfamiliar restaurant, the 1st question that'll pop into our heads is, "Is is Halal? Must do research 1st."

Jadi, salah seorang couple ala2 kuno pasal restoran2 glamer kat Malaysia ini adalah kami berdua :)

I'm currently reading "Penenang Jiwa, Pengubatan & Rawatan" translated from Imam Al-Ghazali's Mukashafah Al-Qulub. I know I have not attended any Islamic classes for quite sometime. And my KAFA Ustazah once told me, "Kalau kita tak mengisi hati ini dengan ilmu untuk suatu tempoh yang terlalu lama, nanti hati keras dan ilmu pun susah nak lekat" Something like that.

Bab 5 ialah mengenai Memerangi Nafsu dan Syaitan. Mengambil dari buku tersebut, "Bahaya yang paling besar bagi manusia ialah syahwat perut"

Dan Rasulullah SAW bersabda:
"Janganlah engkau membunuh hati dengan banyak makan dan tidur. Sesungguhnya hati akan mati bagaikan tanaman jika tergenang"

I have learned this since primary school. And Ma always scolded me when I slept too much mase sekolah dulu. Tiap kali mesti keluar ayat di atas. heh

Currently, I'm on my healthy eating routine. I ate more veges and fruits, less carbs and at least 2 litres of plain warm water. I slept less but didnt do any work-out so far and miraculously my weight is dropping every week. Furthermore, I feel more energetic. I'm loving it.

Plus work-out routine starting next week, lagi 2-3bulan boleh turun 10kg tak? Hehehehe

Good News and Bad News

Let's start with good news first.

No, I'm not pregnant, yet.

And no, Joe dearie most probably wouldn't make it for our vacation. Such a waste of money.....

Well, the only good news is, I don't have buy a weight scale. Haha

Nutrition Dept is doing a weekly check-up or should I say observation on the staff's weight. And it also calculate the whole thing, BMR, BMI, Fat%, TBW, Desirable weight, fat to lose. Awesome.

They give free consultation on weight issue and also free aerobic CD by request.

We were given an individual book and this book is required during every check-up.

So now I know how much I weigh plus the total fat I have.

And my god, I was shocked when I saw the number on the scale. That is the bad news.

With 10kg increase on my weight, my fat% increase from 24% (3 years ago) to 33%. Roughly calculated, the fat has gone up by 7kg in 3 years. 7kg of fat alone. *sigh*

Fat% is important. For women, you shouldn't exceed 35% and for men is 25%. Higher than that percentage, you may be in the higher risk group for cardio disease.

My TBW is rather good. Exactly 50% out of body weight. Desirable TBW is 50%-60% of your body weight. All of a sudden, most of the ladies in my dept are so concern about TBW, everyone is drinking more plain water everyday.

I already drafted my healthy daily meal list and I've started 2 days ago.

Cutting down rice and oily food intake.

Since my housemate is underweight, I need to prepare 2 type of food, one for the thin and one for the fat. Therefore cooking may require more time.

I usually start with cooking for the fat. Later I'll be too tired or malas to cook another meal so I ended up eating low fat biscuit with low fat milk.

And yeah, milk is compulsory. I increase my milk intake twice per day. 4 table spoon per mug.

So I'll be observing my weight every week. This is my 26th birthday vow :)

Hope to see changes in 1 month. Wish me luck.

Btw, since I'm not eating rice, it's a damn good reason to buy that small cute rice cooker ;)

Food is heaven..

Almost 2 years ago, I can manage to held myself from eating and lived on a vegie diet for 2 months plus a session of 4km jog on the treadmill n 40 minutes aerobic. I woke up at 6.30 (that time I was an honourably unemployed), I started my day with a slice of bread and a small cup of coffee before I started my jogging session while watching TV.

And now, I can't hardly bring myself to do even a 30 minutes Trim Your Body Fat Zones and I ate like a p**. I hate my big fat tummy and the difficulties to put on my pants (the pants when I was slimmer). Man I'm so fat.. 2 weeks ago, my Ministry did this BMI thing and my BMI increases by 2.3. Yeah, still in normal range but I want my old BMI.

I love food and I hate to see food wasted and thrown inside the bin. You can asked Mr.Joe, there wasn't a time that I'd never finished my meal. I think this may be one of the reason why I cant cut down my calorie intake.

I can hear those tiny voices, "Eat all your food, eat all your food. The Palestinians live in hunger and you're wasting food. How selfish and ungrateful" each time I tried to leave all those food on the plate.

Getting married in 4 months, I really need to lose all these jigglies..hahaha.. And Mr.Joe joked at me about my tummy weighs 7kgs.. heh..

Double chin..

I think I'm getting fat eversince I started working..
(Oh puh-lease I heard my 3 sisters and friends saying out loud ;)
My maid said my double chin is getting so obvious..
I notice it too but I thought it was always like this..
Oh no, oh no... I keep saying to myself..

I have to get back to my diet routine again..
No rice, no oily food, lots of veges and fruits, no fatty, sweet, delicious snack in between meals, and exercise, exercise, exercise...

Sis Yanti said I obsess with my weight..
I have a BMI of 19.0..
It's an ideal weight already.. My weight hasn't increased a kg.. But I don't see myself as slim..
My thighs are fat, flabby arms and double chin.. and perut pun macam da buncit sebab kain baju kurung ketat..
argh, ni deskwork punye pasal and aircond yang terlalu sejuk..
extra generation of fat sebab 10hours terlalu sejuk di ofis..

I was once a bulimic for 3weeks..
giler kan?
So called a nutrition student I am..

maybe I should stick to granola bars, only 90cal/bar..Ehehe..
