Week 22: Friday's Menu

I'm currently addicted reading the Biggest Loser Malaysian Blogger's blog. Yang best dia, if you gain weight you get to pay up RM5 fine. Today I'm trying to control my food intake. No more buying Nescafe's and Teh Tarik packets until 2010. Ugh, I'm having withdrawal already. I'm just drinking lots and lots of water.

I'll try not to think about it. I read that withdrawal lasts for 5-7 days. After that, ok lah. This coming from Atkin's Diet e-book which I never got to really follow the diet. But I'd have to agree with the withdrawal duration though. Tu lah, sepa suruh minum minuman manis jak non stop.


Breakfast: 3F1(1 vanilla + 2 strawberry) + 100ml soy + 100ml water

Lunch: Half a papaya(small) + Caramel Latte

Tea: 1/2 bun + teamix 1 mug

Dinner: 3F1

Week 22: Wednesday's Menu

My teh tarik packets are finishing. I've made a decision not to buy any packet drinks or milo until I reach 66kgs. I managed not to buy Nescafe for a year last year and I know I can do it again this year. :)

Week 22: Sunday's Menu

So far so good. Hubby's idea was brilliant. I did not overeat today. The thing is when you're at a family gathering, beribu2 orang suruh ko makan. "Makan Sarah... Sarah sudah makan? Makan lah lagi, byk lagi tu... Bawak makanan balik sikit je? Kuih byk tuh!!"

Hihihi... I did eat la a bit as mentioned below. After akikah, hubby's aunty told me to tapau lots of rice. So I took one whole plastic of rice, a small container of tiny diced fried chicken and kerabu nenas and cucumber.

Week 21: Confessions of a Foodaholic

New York Steak by disneymike

So it's the school holiday's again in Malaysia and I'm sure lots of you have weddings to go to, places to visit and having family gatherings which involves having breakfast/lunch/tea/high tea/dinner/supper together may it be inside or outside the house. ^_^

As for Herbalife users, don't fret... you can take a couple of days off of your 2 meals off and just replace it with 1 shakes per day only right?! We humans need to give ourselves a break now and then. Reward ourselves of our big or little achievements. You don't need to punish yourself in dieting all the time and have such restriction in your diet cause usually once you can't take it anymore... you will eat none stop. It's human nature.

You thought you've tricked your body but afterward your body in turn will trick you into eating that amount of food that you have been avoiding for so long. Yes, I'm also talking about myself on how I'm currently off of 2 shakes per day for almost 2 weeks now. So don't take what I've just said so seriously because all of it is actually pointing towards me! :P

Alright then so I've been having so much fun with food lately. I've taken only 1 shakes per day and slowly I'm taking 2 shakes again. I wanted this losing weight with HL to be a fast process but who am I kidding?! I can't take it to lose 5 kg's per month. I think 1-2kgs per month is okay but it feels like something's amiss you know? I do love experimenting though. Yes, I do a LOT of experimenting with Herbalife to see what the outcome would be like. Sorry there aren't any reports on that. ;D

I don't know about you guys but I get off of the wagon so easily. I get back on it again but not as fast as I fell from it. It's just me. I just love to push myself over the top and then as soon as I see the results, I get so happy till I get carried away. Funny thing huh. I should probably set my goals more realistic and not too easy. 4-5kg's per month is too much. 1-2kg's is not that motivating for me(It makes me so lazy!!). This time I'll try the lucky number 3. See, this is one of my many experiments. So, will I lose 3kgs within June(End of my 5th month with Herbalife)? Wait and see!!!

Note to self: Never ever quit although you have fallen a million times. When you quit, you don't have anything to work for and that is much worse than forever trying to improve yourself endlessly.

Week 20: Thursday's Menu

I've been relaxing on my shakes in week 20(1 shakes per day only). I think it's because I got so excited with my weight. I try not to torture my self today and eat rice and lauk during lunch time. Back to 2 shakes again! Although Sunday is my 21st week.

Breakfast: 3F1 Strawberry + 120ml soy + 130ml water

Lunch: Rice(lots of it!) + Indian style butter chicken + Cucumber tumis(1 whole cucumber mind you)

Dinner: 2F1 Strawberry + 100ml water + 100ml soy

Week 19: Monday Menu

I've gotta start taking food pictures for this blog so it looks more interesting :) I would be doing a 4 day detox again this week starting tomorrow. Next week it'll be 3 days only. I think it's not so bad not taking any carbs within this month. I've managed so far and no cravings...yet!

One funny thing... each time I run, I would be looking at those abandoned dumb bell's. I'd probably start weight training again soon lah since those buggers have been staring at me endlessly. It's like I have that urge to lift them. My father-in-law said if you've worked out a lot and still have a big belly it means that you haven't done enough leg exercises. I hope with weight lifting I'd be losing more weight. Malas ba tinguk slow result.


Today's activities:


Breakfast: 3F1 Vanilla + 100ml no sugar soy + 120ml water(Terover kenyang...)

Lunch: Leftover meehoon + tuna(wth?! I ate it then realized I promised not to take carbs this month. My brain forgot to remind me. Lol)

Week 18: Detox Day 4

Today will be my last day of detoxing and I will try and take my shakes with plain water too. :) For yesterday's detox I lost 0.6kgs too like in the previous day which makes me 70.2kgs now.

Teamix 1 mug

Breakfast: 4F1(1 cappu + 3 choc) + 200ml water

• Yay! The shakes still tasted yummy. I thought I would puke. Alhamdulillah, I can save money and not buy soy. Not that I haven't tasted it but I forgot whether I liked it or not. I love the thickness. Hubby told me I was crazy. No human drinks that thick of a drink, hahaha. I offered him and he said,"Eee... no thanks."

Lunch: 4F1(1 Strawberry + 3 Choc) + 200ml water

Ugh... no cardio today. Feeling slightly lembik... Just had my periods today.

Teamix 1 mug

A plate of mixed fruits. Just didn't feel like drinking shakes.

Week 18: Detox Day 3

Today I'm on the verge of giving up on my detox. Probably it'll be the last one today or tomorrow. But the magic word for me is TEKAD! Lost apporx 0.6 kgs in one day. I'm 70.8kg now. I think it's just water because my weight has been from 69-71 for a while now. I have been a very very bad girl. I snacked all the time, mostly on kuih and nasi! I think I was so happy I lost 10kgs so then wasn't that serious enough. Almost all the time I missed my dinner shakes and dined out with hubby instead cooking him a nice meal.

It's kinda weird that one day, which was last week, when I looked myself in the mirror and I saw myself... I am indeed still FAT and overweight! I'ts been 3 months that I still see the '70' number. So now I'm picking up myself back yet again after byk kali sudah jatuh. This time Alhamdulillah... semangat lagi kuat dari dolu2. Siap planning not wanting to take carbs for one whole month! I will try and stay motivated(reading ppl's blog and forums) so that I don't stray away. Indeed, it has become quite a depressing and irritable state seeing that I've cheated eating HL continuously... I'm also thankful that many of Malaysian Herbalifers have tips and motivational stuffs in their blog. Helped me a lot! :)

Okay, here's hoping that I lose some more weight tomorrow.

Breakfast: 3F1(Choc) + 100ml Cappu Soy + 150ml water

Dinner: 3F1(2 Cappu + 1 Vanilla) + 120ml Cappu Soy + 130ml water

Week 18: Detox Day 2

I am going on a detox for as long as I can(okay, okay probably until this Thursday =P). There's that reunion on June 20th... Probably I'll catch a plane and go see my long lost friends? Haven't decided on that thoroughly yet. Here's my menu for today.

Probably tomorrow I'll try to drink all my shakes with water only... Eh... See la how >.<

Week 18: Detox Day 1

Today I'm detoxing(Day 1). I've currently added one F1 scoop in my shakes. The cravings have disappeared and I'm happy.

Breakfast: 3F1(1 Vanilla, 2 Strawberry)+150ml water+150 soya

Lunch: 2F1(Strawberry)+1F3+150ml water+150 soya

Dinner: 2F1(Strawberry) + 1F3 150ml water+ 150ml soya chocolate

Supper(Ter pegi Ikano): 1 Sushi Salmon, 1 Sushi Unagi, 1 Caramel Latte

Before this 2 scoops of F1 was fine for me. But it took me 2 and a half months to realize that I needed more scoops for my meals. Lambat pick up betul. Indeed my metabolism has increased therefore I need more protein for my body.

1 extra scoop of F1 really makes a difference. I wish I could turn back the time but ah well... that's a mistake I must learn kan.

Received 7 bottles of Formula 1 today. Of course 3 bottles are for my sister in law(all 5 cappu flavor). I have to take those 5 bottles at TTDI post office within 7 days. Bummer. The 2 arrived at my doorstep.
