Weight Training in Ramadhan

Since Ramadhan is approaching and since I have at least 5kgs more to lose before I celebrate Eidul Fitri in KK, I've decided to google "weight training in Ramadhan".

I've never weight train in Ramadhan before and usually I would regret for not training for a whole month! It disrupts my metabolism and not only that, I would gain a couple of kilo's. All my hard work down the drain!

Ehem, back from digressing...So in this post, I will gradually expand my favorite links till I don't know when and be glad to share it with all of you who are curious on how to weight train during the month of Ramadhan.

Happy training everyone!!!

Sarah.

Dangerously overweight teenager is put on Herbalife by her doctors

My oh my... at first I told myself that I do not want to post any success stories or testimonial about Herbalife by others here in my Herbalife blog. The reason WAS that I wanna feature those who get their intakes from me only. But life ain't never fair right. I found this great success story by Stephanie from the official Herbalife site. I thought its so interesting that I have to post it here. What when its about an overweight teenager whose been recommended to Herbalife by her doctors! Read on people--


By Stephanie

At 15, Stephanie was dangerously overweight at 226 pounds. She suffered from high blood pressure and doctors warned her that if she didn't lose weight, she could be at risk for serious health problems. None of this motivated her enough. Then, someone told her boyfriend's mother she looked pregnant. Stephanie exclaims, "I knew it was time to do something about it."

Because of Stephanie's high blood pressure and other health risks, many over-the-counter weight-loss programs were out of the question. Herbalife was the only program Stephanie's doctors approved. "The program was easy to follow, and I liked the foods I could eat," Stephanie says.

Stephanie went on to lose 100 pounds in a year and is now a happy, healthy 16-year-old. Her weight loss was gradual, but steady and consistent. "I noticed a big difference during my first month on the program," she remembers. "And a year later, I'm still on it and still losing weight. I didn't believe it could work until I tried for myself!"*

Weight Before & After:

Before: 226 pounds
After: 126 pounds
Pounds lost: 100

"If you really want to change your life, Herbalife is the way to do it!"

Recipe for a Veggie Burger

Holly shows us how to make delicious veggie burgers at home. It's an easy recipe and the two key ingredients are lentils and walnuts - two of the most nutritious foods that most people don't eat enough of.



From Before and After TV;

Veggie burgers are a nutritional alternative to beef burgers. Many people don't think of making their own veggie burgers but they are really easy to make at home. Store bought veggie burgers are nutritional but often very high in sodium and preservatives.

Lentils are high in fiber which makes them a good protector against bowel cancer. They are an excellent source of protein and are an important source of B vitamins, especially B3, which is essential for both a healthy nervous system and digestive system. They are high in iron, zinc and calcium and are a good replacement for red meat. Like meat, the iron in lentils is better absorbed when they are eaten with a good source of vitamin C like leafy green vegetables.

Walnuts are an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, a special type of fat that is essential for our bodies, but that the body cannot produce. Walnuts are also a very good source of monounsaturated fats.

Walnuts contain many powerful antioxidants, including ellagic and gallic acids, pus antioxidant phenols and vitamin E. The minerals copper and manganese are also found in abundance in these tasty nuts.

Bring Down the Dumbbells

Hubby asked papa whether he wanted to use the dumb bells and he said no considering that he now goes to the gym with Belle Mere. Soon, I guess after two weeks of having family functions out of KL hubby will be bringing the dumbbell sets and also the working bench.

I thought we where just gonna buy a new one but it's better if we use Papa's dumb bells for now.

Ah! There goes my running only routine(which I seldom do now). Alhamdulillah, my prayers where answered. Now we can workout at our own house and I don't have to experience falling down from the stairs when it's a rainy day! I wanted this to happen since February. The long haul has made my motivation go down the hill into the gutter. Now I just have to pick it up again. Damn, even hubby's getting a little chubbier cause he's stopped weight training ever since I stopped :P

Sadly I could not afford to buy my weight loss supplements until November. I have to use two months of my monthly budget to pay off our ticket to Sabah. It's not cheap!

Losing 45 Pounds Since January

Catie has lost 45 pounds since January. She used to weigh 173 pounds and now weighs 128 pounds.

She says the best moment, that she will never forget, is when she was picking up her sister at the airport and her sister didn't recognize her.

Catie lost the weight with the help of Weight Watchers and a regular exercise program. Check out her before and after photos and her weight loss story here.

Power Walking to Weight Loss Success

Veolia has experienced super success at weight loss. After being obese for thirty years, she decided to make a major lifestyle change in her late 40's. She went from 400 pounds to 138 pounds. She lost all this weight in just 20 months. She did this by going from being inactive to walking at least six days a week.

Her favorite snack food between meals are bulk nuts such as walnuts, brazil nuts and almonds. These are high calorie foods but full of good fats. Walnuts especially are very high in omega 3.

She says; "I have so much energy and my stamina is incredible for a 54-year-old. And to me, the best part is that I did it all by myself without spending money, having surgery, taking pills or trying the latest diet fad." She's gone from a size 32 to a size 2, and was recently featured on the "Today" show.

See her incredible before and after photos and story here.

Hello Old Jeans!!

Pat on the back(my back lah, who else). I can finally fit into my old jeans, the ones that I wear before pregnancy. Yippie! Alhamdulillah is what I must say. With my ideal weight at 48kgs, I still have 22kgs to go.

I haven't done weight training yet. So this year it's running all the way. It still helps a lot. Especially when I feel sluggish, after a 20 minute run(which I try on various speed) I feel very fresh! I wish I was rajin enough to do it everyday, dammit.

My Omega Soy supplement is still there. Yeah, I haven't finished it yet cause it doesn't taste as good. I'm going to try Herbalife next. I need to lose that much weight fast. I don't know if I can make it and slim down during Raya but whatever it is, I must do something drastic. I'm gonna meet my old buddies from school and they still look hot as ever... except me :P

As for my eating habit, so far so good but I still can't resist on drinking a couple of hot sweet Milo everyday! The sugar withdrawal is so damn hard! It's harder to quit drinking sugar than to quit smoking. I've tried to quit smoking for 2 or 3 years and succeed until now. Alhamdulillah.

Lastly, I hope that in days to come, I'll be able to fit in more of my jeans that I thought I couldn't fit forever.
