90 Days to New Sexy Body: #8 : Craving

My period is due. I did the test twice. 

Negative. Phew.

I went for a walk-jog yesterday evening. The park has a nice fresh air since the rain just stopped few minutes before that. It's a bit slippery, luckily the jogging path has been paved with a new tar. 

My heart rate reached up to 187 bpm when I jogged and went back to 165 bpm during normal-paced walk. I had to jog more than doing a walk since I care-less about my diet now.

 I ate like I already a Gwyneth Paltrow he he 

And that linked back to my late period issue. I crave for everything right now. Maybe I should pop that Fiber Plus capsules just to reduce my appetite back?

Or maybe another pregnancy test?

A Note to Adam [7 months]

Queuing to bald your head! 

Dear Adam,

Good news! Mommy has found your scrapbook! It was hidden in my make-up drawer in our KL home. I'm glad I found it. So now I can continue gluing your lovely faces everywhere inside it!

You continue to be a speedy crawler in your 7-months suit. You loves to climb on everything that you can possibly reached. Your favorite spot to climb on is your high chair. Mommy was afraid to let you climb it at first, afraid you would fell down and of course with your hard loud cry. I tried as much as I could not to let that happen. Even though I can't possibly did it all the time. You had your fall couples of time. But the most important thing is for you to continue standing up again after each fall. :)

Dear Adam,

Another 4 teethes came out after we went back to Atok and Puan home, make it to a total of 8 cute teethes to date. You knew how your teethes works.They are sharp! You used it to bite mommy's cheek every time I put your demand on hold. Your appetite has increased since after. You would have your biscuits as breakfast, followed by a heavy lunch ( with a high hope you fell asleep afterwards) , snack and dinner. Tiger biscuits are your favorite! I had to be careful with it tho since I didn't want it to rotten up your cute teethes. That's why I spent $12 on your baby's toothpaste. :P

Dear Adam,

You also learned to sit down unsupported-ly during our Melaka stay. It happen so quickly, like you used to sit before this. he he. You also knew how to climb the stairs even though I never thought you that, and there were no stairs in our SG home. I guess that's what they called baby's instinct. or maybe you learned it by watching other people doing it? God's know. I shall call you my little wilderness explorer. You shows no sign of fear and I must say you're the bravest baby I ever met so far.. Compared to your cousins of course he he

Dear Adam,

I love (you) the way you socializing with other people especially with your Gramps. You loves attentions. You loves everything around you, except your toys. We bought new toys for you but you simply chose my gadget over them. For instance, my BB. I bought you your own BB, but you still pursue for my BB. Sigh. My BB is no longer for sale. he he

Dear Adam,

Mommy loves you very2 much.

SURAH AL-BAQARAH(2) AYAT 128

رَبَّنَا وَاجْعَلْنَا مُسْلِمَيْنِ لَكَ وَمِن ذُرِّيَّتِنَآ أُمَّةً مُّسْلِمَةً لَّكَ وَأَرِنَا مَنَاسِكَنَا وَتُبْ عَلَيْنَآ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ التَّوَّابُ الرَّحِيم

Our Lord! And make us submissive unto You and of our offspring a nation submissive unto You, and show us our Manasik, and accept our repentance. Truly, You are the One Who accepts repentance, the Most Merciful.

Wahai Tuhan kami! Jadikanlah kami berdua: Orang-orang Islam (yang berserah diri) kepadaMu dan jadikanlah daripada keturunan kami: Umat Islam (yang berserah diri) kepadamu dan tunjukkanlah kepada kami syariat dan cara-cara ibadat kami dan terimalah taubat kami, sesungguhnya Engkaulah Maha Penerima taubat, lagi Maha Mengasihani.

90 days to New Sexy Body #7: 2 kilos, damn!

I went to All Shapes last Sunday to continue my workout with TheTallTrainer. The gym is at the 4th floor and as I stepped inside the lift, I noticed my TTT picture kicking furiously on the bulletin board. . Watch out! lol

I had a nice workout. Painful. But a nice, dose of painful of workout wont' kill you. Hehe. 

Endurance is a critical word when you are burning all those fats and calories. (Seriously I felt like to give up during my first real workout session)

I have gained  2 kilos while staying at Malacca, so I'm back to square. Sigh. 

2 weeks

I spent my last 2 weeks at my parent's house in Alor Gajah. 

No Streamyx Broadband available and limited coverage of Celcom broadband. And that's explain my 2 weeks of silentness.

It was a bittersweet home-vacation. 

I am still shaken with the biter scene created by my long-face sister. And at the same time, I'm missing all those sweet moments with my mom and dad. I miss spending time with them.Adam misses them too. I miss all those coziness ambiance.  Spent half of my childhood there. And it's impossible to rewind all that again. 

My mom is a talking machine while my dad simply acted like her sounding board. 

And sometime vice versa when the heat has risen up. hehe 

Bad news. I've gained 2 kilos. Sigh

Good news? Still waiting for a good news.. 

90 Days to New Sexy Body- #6: Polar FT40 Youtube Review

I'm still not over with this gadget he he

Check this Youtube review on Polar FT40 Green.

Can't wait to try it this evening!

90 Days to New Sexy Body- #5: My New Polar FT40 Green!!

I bought this Polar FT40 last night. The price is around SGD$$$, but after discounted at 15%, the price favored me very much =) 

Why do I need it badly?

It's just a basic Polar watch that can measure your heart rate and how much calories you've burned. There are more functions such as distance, GPS, weekly planned program, etc2, in other Polar model, but I just need one that can monitor my heart rate so I can monitor the intensity of my workout. Beside, I'm jobless now and this is within my budget and the look is not that bad either. 

I bought FT40 in Green. he he 

TheTallTrainer suggested I buy one of this pulse watch so I can surely know that I am not over or under training. I can also log all my data into the software available or into Polar online diary to check how is my workout going on.Hopefully this will keep me motivate each time I see where am I standing on and where do I head for next! 

My heart rate at rest is 72 bpm and it'll shoot up to 132bpm after 3 mins workout session with TheTallTrainer last Sunday. 

So, my aim is to bring that figure (132) down. As simple as that. 

So, TheTallTrainer asked me, if I can, maintain to walk/jog within 149 bpm to 179 bpm for 20 mins for 3 times a week in order for me to increase my stamina. 

I can't wait to jog with my new Green Polar this evening. 

BTW, quick note on what I've eat yesterday. 

12 noon: a plate of rice with AMM.

3,4 pieces of homemade choc cake. (I couldn't resist the temptation of it!)

2 mugs of Ribena (should have replaced this with plain water instead)

Dinner: A plate of rice with Sambal Goreng and Ikan Masin.. yummy! isk isk

remorse~

Say NO to hot-hot-duck-shit!

A Note to Myself: Start Planning Your Family Meal and Groceries!

I always happened to watch Rachel Ray show whenever I fed Adam his lunch. Everyday at 1130 AM.  I love all her fancy yet simple-to-cook recipes. (Owh, check out her Golden Bloom Chicken)

It's few episodes behind (never mind) but I'm very interested to blog about what I just saw on her show today. One of her guest, Erin, the $5 Dinner Mom, was invited to share how she managed to keep her family dinner under $5 everyday. Yes, it's true, she's preparing 3 heads-dinner at $5.

 Erin will bought discounted items per her groceries list and she also collected groceries coupons from four daily newspapers so she can saved up even more during her groceries shopping. Isn't that wonderful? 

And I am very excited to plan my family's meal just like her. It's a great way to keep track what you'll eat and what you've eat, and they way to stretch out your $$ as well. And no more "I-don't-know-what-to-cook-today" puzzle everyday. He he 

It's easy peasy right? So, I had to add this on my resolution. It's just a simple thing to do and yet it'll gave a big impact to your health and monthly budgets. 

But the thing is, are they any coupons offered in SG newspapers? I've to check on it first. The "thinnest-newspaper-ever" probably don't have such coupons because it's too T.H.I.N =p ( You've to read Malay newspaper here so you know how thin it is- 2 mins habis!) 

Haha.. google on the coupons now.. 

90 Days to New Sexy Body- #4: Pilot Walking

I walked and jogged for 30 minutes yesterday. 

Have to rush home early for Adam's dinner. I could imagine his face crying and asking his food, 

" Mommy! Where's my food?!!". =P

I took my shower once I dried up from the heavy sweating. 

( See, even 30 minutes's workout could sweat me like crazy)

Anyway,

It's my habit to look at the mirror before I take my shower

..and.. 

..gosh it was red as the grilled lobster above. T_T

"I cooked Ayam Masak Merah yesterday and ate a small piece of chicken breast with rice. Yummy!

And Maggi bodo for this morning sahur ha ha"

Keep up the good workout!

90 Days to New Sexy Body- #3: Fasting and Walking

Today weight lost tips: No fast-foods allowed in your "big-later-become-small" tummy!

I'm fasting today. (KFC brand label looks so tempting now he he)

Fasting as to recover my last Ramadhan fasts. I was breastfeeding Adam and in pantang period. 

26 days to go. Wiping my sweats away.

Furthermore, I'm planning to walk to the park this evening. 

What I ate for sahur? A small chunk of Van Houten Choc with Almonds. (A medium chunk kot.)

and plain water.

I hope I survive today. 

90 Days to New Sexy Body- #2: Trial Session

Let's talk about my first All Shape's PT session. 

Gosh, I felt so tired, dizzy and about to lose my consciousness during my first workout with TheTallTrainer. In short is TTT. Walla!

I have thought about all the tiredness and muscle fatigues before I signed up with the session, but surprisingly, it made me wanna come back for more. It seems like somebody has fed me with a very yummy dish and I want it more and more. 

The session started with a fitness test,which I've passed with not-so-flying-colors he he. Then, TheTallTrainer put me on such a big skiing machine and made me warm up for 5 mins. Later on did some toning exercise for my butts, thighs, arms and in short every parts of my body he he. All those really ached my muscles here and there. Ugh, but I have no choice. Now I know how the Biggest Loser contestants felt when their trainer push them hard to break the limit. =(

I have a nice workout session this morning despite almost losing my consciousness.=)

The program came with a food journal where I have to log in every single item I put inside my tummy. It makes me become more selective to chose either this or that. TheTallTrainer reminded me that in order to lose weight, 30% comes from exercising and the rest is from your diet,which is the way you eat.  

In addition to that, I also need to do cardio for 3 times a week and I chose walking and jogging. 

Bla Bla..so sleepy right now. 

In short, here's what I eat for ;

Breakfast: Choc-Malt drink

Lunch: Old Chang Kee Popiah

1/2 plate briyani with chicken

Tea: Old Chang Kee Epok2

Dinner: Fried SG meehoon with a small portion of curry meat & black pepper meat.

Exercise: Morning workout with TheTallTrainer.
