Before After

Wonderful Friday

Hi all, how have you all been? Today started off badly with a quarrel with my bf, but luckily it didnt take long for us to get over all the unhappiness.

At the gym, I managed to clock in my 6km run even though I was jogging at snail's speed. And then I went to my bf's relative's wedding. A pretty good day I would say, and I simply love my bf's attentiveness towards me throughout the wedding dinner. It was simply fantastic and I am living in bliss. Hopefully it lasts hahha.

Oh yes, on wed when I weighed myself I was 158.8bs!!! Goodness, but thankfully today, it is 156.2lbs. Phew what a relief. It was my period causing all the fluctuations. Can't wait for it to pass! Hopefully i will be below 154lbs!!!!!

Cheers! Lets keep it up!

What goes up comes down...

Hi gals! How have you been? I've just been thinking earlier about my happiness, my relationship, my life and I realise there is just this pattern. My life seems to be moving in a sinusoidal cycle. Each time I feel I am living in bliss, with the perfect relationship, and just basically feeling like I am on top of the world, and the next minute, its either my bf will pick a fight, and the happiness feeling of bliss falls sharply. Its weird huh...

Anyway, today, something terrible happened. Okay not terrible terrible, but insulting. A new colleague asked my bf (also my colleague) if I am married and how many kids I have! Okay, to give her the benefit of doubt, she didnt know he is my bf. But hey, I am only 25! Just out of uni. It is the biggest insult in my whole life! She thought I am 30+ years with like 3 kids! Goodness! She ruined my whole day, I was so bothered by it that it just totally ruined my mood, I couldnt even enjoy the little time I had with my bf!

And of course, I think in a way it affected my bf too. I mean, who likes to have someone tell him his gf sucks, and is a pig fat old pig... practically time to be slaughtered and served. ARghhhhh.

After brooding over it for like nearly the whole night, thinking was it my wide hips that made me seem like I've had 3 kids, or is it my matured serious looking face that made me look 30+, was it my lack of dress sense? My big bones? My height? My big frame? My seriousness? All these negativity circulating me like vultures... hahaha what an analogy.

 Anyway, I finally managed to console myself that you know what... We are only like that if we allow ourselves to be that. Given time and work, we can be anything we desire!

Sure, there are lots of things or parts of us we hate, but there is always hope! Being meaty is part of what we are now, but it does not define us! =)

Sigh, but for now all I can do is try my best, and One day! One day I am going to look in the mirror and shout "Wow, I am such a gorgeous sexy babe!"

36 days to 2009!!!!

Wow, isn't it fast?!?!?! Its nearly 2009, with just 36 more days to go!!! And before we know it, we will be making new year resolutions, and thinking up new goals for our new year, new beginning, another year of our lives. It feels like its just yesterday that I wrote my resolution for 2008 is to weigh in at 130lbs, to be healthy slim and successful, to find the passion for my work. Wow, time really passes by real fast, and looking back, what have I accomplished this year 2008?

Whao, my mind is really a blank. Shit. Darn! I really didnt accomplish anything much, or even worth mentioning this year! Ohmygosh!!! One wasted year with nothing done. Oh dear oh dear oh dear.
 
Okay one accomplishment i can think of is that NOW I WEIGH LESS THAN 160lbs!!!! I just have to shout that out!! Hahaha. Yes, I only started trying to lose weight seriously in late september, but hey at least i am less than 160lbs!!!
Since the begining of 2008, I've not been below 160lbs, so yes, its a accomplishment! Yippeee! Finally, 1 accomplishment for 2008. Yes, i know i am not far below 160lbs, but its still something right. Hahaha. We shouldnt be too hard on ourselves.
 
Hmmmmm I think thats all the accomplishment I can think of. Goodness. I've really wasted lots of time.
 
Anyway, I was about to blog that we should really use the last 36 days of 2008 to really give it a last shot. A last fight, a last battle of the bulges. 36 days / 5 weeks exactly. Who knows, maybe we can lose 5lbs? Any lbs loss is welcome! So this weekend most likely I am going to sign up for a one-month gym package... just for my last 31 days dash. Keeping my fingers crossed that it will costs less than $100. As little as possible!
 
This morning, I've already eaten out of my calories budget by having a cheese prata and a plain prata, so really got to cut down my lunch and dinner. Its really hard to stay within a 2000 -2500 calorie budget let alone 1500cal as recommended by doctors worldwide, so I'm going be taking a step at a time. Aim for 2500 cal, before cutting down slowly.
 
Alright, time for me to pack up to head to the gym. Will blog my progress in a while. Cheers!

10th WI

Hi all, today I just had my 10th weigh-in but progress is sad. I put back on the weight i lost and now i am back to 157.2lbs, the weight i was at the end of oct.

Which brings me to my point about wasting my whole november. Yes, i've been consistently running 6km a day at least, but because of my eating habits ( i can eat 6000cal a day even!) i'm back to my oct weight!!!! Gosh, i feel this extreme disappointment in myself. One whole month!!! One month worth of running, at least 150km, and i just had to overeat and ruin all my efforts. ONE WHOLE WASTED MONTH! Arggghghhh, sorry, but i am just so mad at myself.

Okay here goes:

10th WI -- 25 Nov 08 (Tuesday) since 14 Sept 08

Start weight: 166.4lbs

Weight at 10th WI: 157.2lbs

Weight lost: ++0.6lbs/0.2kg

Total Weight lost: 9.2lbs/4.3kg

Arghhhhh. I will have to be clearing my leave for the year soon, 3 weeks worth of annual leave to clear, so I think i should be on leave from 17 dec to the end of dec. Which means, no company gym to use, cos i wont be going to office. I've been thinking of joining a private gym club, and use that 3 weeks of leave to really exercise, work out and hopefully make the last dash of effort before the new year 2009. I think i am only prepared to pay $100 max for the personal gym usuage so hopefully I will be able to source for a cheap, accessible gym near my house.
 
My bf will be going away to Japan with his family for a holiday during the christmas week and life without him is going to be .... i dunno. Its weird to be celebrating Christmas without my loved ones. But I'm also hoping I will really be able to work out hard and give him a surprise when i return.
 
Anyway, lets work harder and eat lesser! Cheers!

Bright new day!

Hi all, how have you all been doing? I realised i've been way too pessimistic yesterday.... and i shouldnt be so, cos life is not as bad as i imagined. Yes, i gained weight, i'm back to 158.2lbs... not going to update it till tomor at my official weigh-in, but still life isn't all about my weight right?

There are so many things I am happy about, my loving bf (alot of times i just feel so blissful n i can just feel the huge swell of love for him growing, though sometimes i feel i so mad at him), my happy family, my stable job, my good health.... hmmm. i guess yesterday I must be feeling bad cos of pms.

Anyway today i managed to clock in my 7km!!! But i overate yet again during dinner. sambal stingray, deep fried oyster, dumpling noodles and deep fried wanton with mayonese. Feeling so damn sick now with all those junk. Sigh. Really overate yet again.

So tomor will be my next WI. Wish me luck. I really dont want to be backtracking after all that effort!

Cheers! Life is great! Stay cheerful!

So disappointed and devoided of all determination and hope

Hi all, I'm feeling very depress and unbalanced now... its sunday night at 8.30pm and I just can't help but feel disgusted at myself, disgusted at my efforts, angry at my bf for shouting at me and venting his own frustrations on me, like i am his punching bag, and feeling just so zapped of all hope and determination.

Just last thursday i weighted myself and I was 155.6lbs!!! Thats the lowest I've been this whole year 2008, but i am telling you, when tomorrow comes at the pre-weigh in at the gym, i am definately much heavier than 155.6lbs and that just makes me feel so sick. I have been bingeing non-stop this whole november, and even though i've lost weight, the weight isn't as much as it could have been. Its like i feel i am sabotating myself, my own efforts, its like i am afraid to go below 70kg, always loitering at 70.5 to 72kg and i am just so sick of it. Each time my weight drops, i eat and eat and binge. I dunno why i am doing this to myself. And i also noticed how i seldom blog these days. Its like with each passing day i am losing hope day by day on myself.

I watched this hongkong drama, and there was this question that kept lingering in my mind. The few seconds before i die, what will i regret the most? Am i ready to die? What are the things i want to achieve before I'm called in by God.... and I am just so confused and frustrated. Its like this big nagging feeling that I've not accomplished anything! I have lived 25 years of my life and what have I achieved?!?! Argghhhghghg

Okay, i am not going to kill myself, but i really wonder what am i in this world for. Its like this huge black cloud is decending on me and all around me, i just feel this negativity. My job, its just a job that i have to do, that pays me better than others. I dont really feel i have this great big passion for it. Look at myself at my attempts at losing weight, a little success and i am getting it all in my head, losing steam, giivng up, eating bingeing, not exercising. I really detest myself so.

Why am I bringing myself to ruins? What do i want from myself??? Do you all also feel these phases of uncertainty and pain? I just feel so frustrated yet cant pinpoint why, cant pinpoint the wrongs in my life, can't find the solution to it.

I just so want to escape, and i've just been wasting time, getting wasted, indulging in food, wasting time entertaining people i dont like, putting up with nonsense i cant stand, idling my days away. I really despise myself.

Sorry everyone, i must be going through some bad phases. I hope i can get myself sorted out soon. Arghghghghghg. Pray for me people.

 

9th WI!!!!

Hi all babes, today being Tues, is my weigh-in!!!! 9th weigh-in to be exact!!!!

9th WI -- 18 Nov 08 (Tuesday) since 14 Sept 08

Start weight: 166.4lbs

Weight at 9th WI: 156.6lbs

Weight lost: 0.6lbs/0.2kg

Total Weight lost: 9.8lbs/4.44kg

Okay, my weight loss shouldn't have been so little, but I realise I can't help but keep sabotaging myself and my efforts. Its like each time I see a loss, I feel so contented that I will overeat immediately after. My eating habits have been terrible with more and more frequent binges. Its totally unnecessary those extra food, but its like I've given up subconsciously. Instead of a mere 0.6lbs loss for the last three weeks, it should have been at least a 6lbs if not for my bad eating habits. Those tapioca chips and late night junk food is really killing my efforts!!!
 
So, from today onwards, its time for me to jump back on the wagon!!! No more slacking off and being complacent with my little loss. Its time for me to strike back and work harder!!!
 
Lots of people have been commenting on my weight-loss these days, and I'm suddenly so used to people telling me I look smaller, slimmer, etc. I think their praises are getting into my head, making me super big-headed and complacent. Time to change gal!! Another part of me is like "You mean to say I was very fat previously? Because even though I've lost nearly 10lbs, I still feel I've got a long way to go, and I'm not exactly even anywhere near my ideal weight" Okay okay, I really should stop bitching. Sorry babes.
 
So today, so far so good food-wise. Had some nasty calorie-ladden pasta and icecream and deep fried seafood platter for dinner, but overall, it should still be within my calorie-range with all that exercise (7km jog today!!!! So proud) and low-caloried lunch. So I'll work along the same line for tomor's meals!
 
Alright! Catch up again tomor!!!

My own life, in my own control

Wrote on 15 Nov 08

Hi babes, how have you all been? Its been awhile since I last wrote, and yes, I've still been eating badly though still exercising. I fell ill on 11th Nov though (Tues) and skipped exercising for 3 whole days. The gym trainer says that I over worked myself thats why my immune system got weaken. Usually most people will train on alternate days and not everyday like what I've been doing for 2 months now.

So I missed my WI on Tues... but I did weigh myself on Fri 14 Nov and I weigh 157.2lbs. I'm quite happy with that considering I have been bingeing non-stop these days.

These days, things with my family, especially my dad and my bf have been tense. I know my dad has his flaws and he has my intentions at heart, but sometimes it really gets on my nerves especially when I dont quite agree with his rules, his views. It makes me feel so infilial when I make him upset, yet I can't really bring myself to lead my life the way HE wants it to be led. I mean, its my life right?! Arghhh. I am just such a bad daughter.

 

Overate and now I feel SICK

Hi all, how have you all been? I've been good keeping up with my exercise, but my eating habits still suck. Especially these few weeks, I've just been bingeing bingeing and bingeing, especially in the late night.

Tonight especially, I overate yet again, but unlike other nights, tonight I just feel so so sick. All those packets of sweets, gummies and candy, and me stuffing my face at dinner too, and now, I just feel so ill. Bloated in the terrible way. Guilty too.

Each time during my lunchtime runs, I tell myself not to overeat, so that I can make the most of my runs, but every single night, I just start to eat and eat continously, ignoring what my brain is telling me. Argggghhhh. I really need to change that!

Other than that, things have been pretty much the same. Except tomor (Thurs) night, I probably have to work really late, and on (Fri) I may have to skip my lunchtime run for work. But all will be fine-- It must be fine.

Today I hopped on the scale, and you know what?!?!!? I gained!!!!! I'm so so scare all my efforts will be washed down the drain! All those nearly 2 months of daily 6-7km runs!!!! It really took alot of discipline to actually complete those 7km runs, and it took me so long to lose that mesierable 8lbs loss. I really cannot afford to gain them all back. Feeling so terrified now. But its too late, I've already finished all my bingeing for tonight before I hopped on the scale.

Tomor better be a better day!

7th WI

Hi all! Today the gym was super quiet so I managed to fit in my 53mins run of 7km. 8.0km/hr consistently for 5km, before dropping to 7.7km/hr and the last 400m was done at 8.9km/hr.  Super proud of myself especially since my knee started to feel weird halfway through the run. I think I need to lose somemore weight to lessen the load on my poor knees.

So for my 7th WI!!!!

7th WI -- 4 Nov 08 (Tuesday) since 14 Sept 08

Start weight: 166.4lbs

Weight at 7th WI: 157.0lbs

Weight lost: 1.2lbs/0.54kg

Total Weight lost: 9.4lbs/4.26kg

I know I could have lost more if not for my increased food intake... so my aim for Nov is to try my best to eat lesser, especially for dinner, and no more suppers. Can't promise anything now, but I will try my hardest.

So hows everyone? I'm praying hard that I can be 143lbs by 1st Jan 09.

That will be 14lbs more in less than 2 months. Wow. 14lbs in 8 weeks, 1.75lbs consistently for the next 8 weeks to meet my 1st mini goal!
