sleeping in
i can't believe sunday is almost over already. where did the weekend go? spent yesterday morning at a workshop on resume writing and most of the day at good 'ol mustafa. had to buy childrens' day prezzies for the kids. was absolutely beat at the end of the day. slept in until like noon today. feel almost human.
mum made casserole for break-fast with lots and lotsa cheese. can't be too good calorically speaking. but tried to balance out the food karma by having salad and fresh fruit as well. i haven't been eating much during this Ramadan. i'm glad i no longer feel bloated and uncomfortable after break-fast like previous years.i bought this really yummy chocolate covered marshmellows. its like a regular chocolate bar but when u bite into it u get into the marshmellow bit that's made of real banana pulp. and at a mere 80 calories, its a great treat. i'd post a pic but the bro borrowed the digi cam.tomorrow perhaps.
oh mum was spring cleaning when she came across the weight and measurement chart my dad had drawn up to progress our weightloss on herbalife. before i started on herbalife (right after jc bout 3 yrs ago) i weighed 79kg and my waist was 37 inches. when i stopped i was down to 76kg and 36 inches.that was the lightest i've ever been before this. at least after puberty that is. as of five minutes ago i weigh 69 and my waist is 34 inches. another two more off the latter and i can buy my first pair of levis here (bought a pair in the states but they were of the plus-size variety). woohoo. i saw this super cute pair on this lady on the bus, and it had heart shaped pockets. i'm gonna get those i think.but i wanna be at a fairly stable size before i invest so much money on any one article of clothing. thinking of going to malaysia to get my hair done and do some modest shopping. mostly because my convocation ceromony is on the 15th. and because i'm getting kinda sick of the only two pants that fit me (tried wearing some bigger pants with a belt but realised i look a damn fool). hopefully will also be able to get waxed.
my bro asked me to write down my diet for him cos he wants to lose weight before going to the army. i told him i'm not on any diet in particular, i'm just mindful of my calories. and thats the part that everyone seems to have a hard time with. i suppose they expect a more rigid set of guidelines. but the thing is that's not do-able for the rest of your life. its simple really; calories in should be less or equal to calories out. not rocket science. and yet people often hope for a short-cut, a trick. well nothing worth attaining was ever easy. we are all stronger than we'll ever know. permanent weight-loss stems from a change in lifestyle which- lets not kid ourselves- is a real bitch to do. but the pay-offs are worth every minute of anguish, both on and off the treadmill. i can't say for sure i'll stick with it permanently this time round, but i think the fear of reverting back to my old habits is gonna keep me vigilant. this is me making a commitment to be the best me possible. i don't know that version of myself would necessarily fit into a size 10 denim, but i know she's confident and strong. and that's what its about. we are in a race, and in the end its only with ourselves (baz lurhman).
my bro has returned! so as promised a photo of the choco-marshmellow treat and one (since i mention him repeatedly) of the bro and i...actually i can't seem to upload (blogspot is so screwed up) the pics will try again in a bit or else tomorrow it'll have to be. and they say technology is a step forward...
