I've got 4 more weeks until my big rest(16 April-for future reference). I may have dropped a size or two. The smaller training pants I bought in Kuantan that was just too small for me then(end of Jan 2011), I can now fit it. Before, it could just go through my thighs... can you believe it? I tried it before going to work today and was so happy I wanted to wear them to work!!
I'm still keeping up with my nutrition. Mostly I follow Jillians "slow oxidizer" food choices. More veges everyday, rice on alternate days(during barbell training days, 1 meal which is lunch). I can tell you that by talking about vege recipe's, I can drool.....
Hubby finished his 3 months routine and now just relaxing with swimming or jogging at the park on alternate days. Haih... best aku tengok. Jealous betul!
Aaaanyways, I have an urge to do rock climbing. I'll wait till I get more lighter then I'll bring hubby to One Utama and learn to rock climb. I want to go so bad lahhh. It's time to do some outdoor sports and not just carrying weights.

Yay!!! Hubby finally bought me 2 plates of 20kg. I can now deadlift more easier, meaning more bigger plates more easier to put down. Can't wait to use them!
I would love to do a review about Pumping Iron but heck I'm seriously penat everyday after my workout. I brought my barbell equipments to the laundry area where the thick carpet is and just campak everything there. Puas hati.
Currently I weight train every 8pm on alternate days. I was carrying about 50kgs squats today. Two weeks ago I had to reduce the same weight, less 10%. It was unbearable to my back. Unbearable to lift it. But today, somehow I became a woman hulk! Grrrrr. Of course it was much heavier but I also tried flexing my glutes(buttocks-inner muscles) during squatting up. Really... mondo difference there. Imagine squeezing a tin can just with your hands is not that powerful. Now clench your buttock muscles, the ones between your legs together with your hams and quads and squeeze that tin can... you can feel the difference. You feel stronger! Go ahead and try it.
Today I am happy that I've finally reached 50kg squat weights. The problem is that... there are NO MORE PLATES left. I haven't bought 20kgx2 plates(bigger barbells are better for deadlifts, they are more bigger and you can reach them easily than smaller ones). I told hubby that he just HAS to buy it this weekend. Otherwise I cannot move forward with this training.
My biceps have lost only 0.1 inch in the previous week. Boleh lah kan. Asal ada perubahan. Having more calorie deficits during cardio day this week hopefully. Trying to order water instead of limau ais during lunch.
Hubby's having a half a litre and sometimes 1 litre of milk diet every day. It has to be fresh milk. It drives me crazy because it's RM10 per bottle. The ones at Presto TTDI from Johor which is RM6 per bottle is the most delicious cause it's so fresh. If it's out of stock I think it's because of my hubby lol!! Moo milk in Malaysia is very expensive. I hope we breed more cows here so that the cost will reduce and that we will get more fresher and tastier milk.
Here's hoping that I can do a lot of fat shedding by end of this month.

My deadlift is nearing 50kg. Now it's 47kg. Hubby told me usually people(dudes) start deadlifting from 45kg. I was like... come on!!!!!! I'm a woman with a lot of FAT. I'll start from 10kgs first. That was like 8 weeks ago.
My squats is toned down a bit ... somewhere like 43kgs++. I NEED A BELT! My back hurts too but I try to keep it lower so that I don't hunch that much and it reduces the pain. Today I looked at my hands... I showed hubby and said to him... "Look tekupas2 dah my hands. Welcome to the club aye!" I told myself. Lol.
My chicken arms have reduced. Last time I checked it was 14.7 inch. Now it's 14.1 inch. Reduced within a month I think?
Hubby has changed gym to Chi Fitness. Nearer to home. Has a swimming pool too which he loves. He told me today he swam whilst listening to Dirty Bit by BEP while I was at work. Boohoo :P Since he's training barbells now too, he has asked his father to try out the gym. Yes, my father in law weight lifts too. He only has 15% fat. Jeles oh!! But in another gym which hubby used to frequent. It's so important for them to have training buddies because you just can't simply train by yourself when you angkat barbell. Even hubby still helps me train at home dengan kain sarung dia every alternative days. Kesian dia, he has to take a bath each time after training me huahuahuaaaaaa.
I have decided to eat chicken once more. It's just so hard to eat fish and to have to find it at the restaurant during work. My current fav restaurant is a Chinese Cafe. It's Halal don't worry. I've compared to all the other restaurants near my office. It serves the most HEALTHIEST dish. Stirfried veges... no santan just the way I like it. Even the chicken/meat/fish are cooked really simple. Reminds me of Sabahan cooking. All mild and no extra rempah ratus. I'm not sure lots of people like it but it's Heaven for me. I take LOADS of veges... half plate and some protein. I hated eating just veges and a lot of it at first. But if you set your mind to it... Like me, I want to become healthier, everything just follows suit. You would love it cause you convince yourself everyday... everyday that you love it until you do. Know what I mean?
Alrighty, you guys have a great weekend. This weekend we're going to Paya Indah Wetlands to have a family gathering. I hope I'll have some good shots of myself that I can later share it with you guys. Till then... Au revoir!!!
