Weight Loss Quest...again???

I'm on a new quest now!!! Instead of losing weight, I've been gaining weight...more than I've anticipated. Now, I am looking for a way to shred a few kilos (more than a few actually). So, the first step is to look back at my activities for the past few months. Okay! I admit. Less activities involving calories burning except that I've been eating more than I should. So, as a start, I'm trying to reduce my food intake. Strictly no junk food including 'kuih raya"...hehe...love 'kuih raya' so much to the extend that I can't stop it once I start eating. I also try to reduce high calories food especially nuggets, drummets, sausages and everything alike. I ate it a lot during Ramadhan....my husband likes that kind of food so much...he requested that on the days when the food are not to his liking....and I end up eating a lot of it....

I missed all those times I was studying in UiTM...I ate a lot but never gain weight except during semester break...I used to walk a lot, so as new semester began, I can always get back my ideal weight...I weighed around 50 to 52 kg but never exceed 55 kg....the way I am today, I doubt if I can get those weight again....No matter how hard it is, I want to keep trying...I want my old self...being overweight sometimes kills my confidence to meet people, my friends and relatives....therefore I must try hard to lose weight even if it takes a year to do so....the most important thing is not giving up...when there is a will, there is a way, Insya Allah....

New Quest!

This is Ramadhan. A fasting month! :) Guess what? I'm starting a new quest!! While everybody is thinking of multiplying their ibadah, which is more than good, I was thinking of the same but with an addition. It isn't a priority, but I want to make it as a segment of my aspirations for this Ramadhan. So, what is the quest? What else? Yup! Weight loss!! I want to try shredding a few kilos of my body weight. If I manage to shake off up to 10% of my body weight, that will be good enough for me. Losing weight is not really important. The most important thing is creating new eating habits, so that I can gradually losing weight. I fear that my current eating habits and cravings is leading me to creating an unhealthy lifestyle. After fasting for 5 days, I must say that the quest is a success but with exceptions. Why? Here is the reason. As soon as I go back to my mama's house in Klang, I eat more than usual. This happens everytime. Maybe, this my way of expressing my longing for her cookings. Nothing's compared to hers plus I need to award myself!! After working hard, this is the best prize, mama's cookings.

I will update the result later, whether it is really a success or not. Until today, I am able to cut down carbs intake to half. If before this, I eat 4 to 6 cups of rice per day, for the past 5 days, I took half cup for sahur and another half for berbuka. I increased plain water, vegetables and fruits intake. I eat rutab or tamar before every meal. Then, I started exercising. Light exercising, 10 min a day, for a beginning. I plan to gradually increase it.

I really hope this will work. Insya Allah.

Weight loss program

Seriously, the current me is bigger than me during the time I was studying in UiTM. Most probably bigger than when I was in KYPM Bangi. Just imagine, from 50 - 52 kg, I have gained around 12 to 15 kg at the time I worked with TNEC. The saddest part is I didn't even realized it. I kept saying to myself that it wasn't a big deal. It always fluctuate and it will never go up to more than 55 kg, I said. I must say, what a fool I have been. I shouldn't have think that and when I realized, it was too late. It was hard to reduce and it wasn't the same as the time I was in UiTM where my weight fluctuated but always go back to its usual state when a new semester begins. Then I kept wondering why won't it decrease.

Looking at me, having a hard time to lose weight, my mother offered me, London Weight Management and the cost will be fully covered by her. It was tempting but I didn't buy it. Why? I know my mom and most importantly this one burden wasn't hers to bear. Besides, I was determined to prove that slimming centres aren't the only solution available. So, what did I do? As a start, I cut my food intake daily to half. No more heavy breakfast. Goodbye nasi lemak, welcome oat. As for lunch & dinner, I take half cup rice with white meat and vegetables until today. However the progress was a bit slow. Then, I started working out. Fastwalking had become a must-do activity in the evening, everyday. To tell you the truth, I had a hard time to reduce a kilogram of weight. As I started to give up, good news came out. Despite of a slight changes in my weight, I managed to wear haf of my old clothes especially my old slacks. Exactly after three months of training, I stopped because of my skin tone. It was uneven and darker than usual.

Today, after almost five months, almost all of my old clothes fit perfectly except the pink kebaya that I wore on my graduation day. My current weight has maintained but I'm determined to shred a few more kilos before my 'big day' otherwise the ring won't fit.

That's all, thank you for reading.
