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!!!

In the future weeks, I will be making mondo changes. Calorie deficit is a must. Will be taking meal replacement for dinner. Currently doing more cardio. Need to replace my weighing machine. Found body fat calipers at EgoNutrition on sale for 10% discount(RM160++ before discount I think) yay!
The urge to see my own muscle is getting pretty intense. I can now feel my arm muscles. Now, when I don't have anything to do, I'll just rub and feel my muscle. Siok sendiri oh!! Wahahaha. I have never felt like this before. It is scary. It is thrilling. I love it!!

The process of losing fat has slowed down a bit. I think I need to step up one notch. Although I know there's a lot of good nutrition in yolks but I'm going to avoid it almost entirely until I see some more results.
I love eggs. It's really cheap source of protein and has great amount of protein too. I've been having peanuts for in between snacks at the office. I'm so tired of this routine I think I'll buy Goobers Peanut Butter. Makan ngap mcm tu, telan... done! No munching, no more sakit tekak. Yes, my throat hurts a bit when I eat peanuts a lot. Benci!!!
Second thing is doing cardio. I've been neglecting that ever since I started work.. I only do it when I feel like it or during the weekends. Hmff! Jangan jadi pemalas labuuu.
My barbell squats 5 X 5 sudah mencecah 42kgs. Can't take it! Will be reducing 10% weight tomorrow.
Lastly, Unifi is in Sg. Penchala y'all! The technician said this is the FIRST house that receives Unifi in our area. Dunno how big the radius he meant by that. It took them 3 months to really install it in our house(4 hours installation). We applied it 3 months ago during my brother's convo in Putrajaya. I am so thankful that they have a port near our house. The first time they told us, the nearest was at tol Sg. Penchala. So now I can sit back and relaaax with my 500mbps file downloads wohohoho.
P/S: I remembered this saying "You gotta hate it to love it." Referring to exercise. Forgot where I heard it from but it's beautiful!

My cousin just uploaded pictures of our grand-uncle who's exactly 104 years old. He's actually my late grandmother's younger brother. Their mother died(my great grandmother) around 102 years old. Their diet is that they plant their own veges and don't eat meat. I know they eat fish(they avoid big fish). I don't know whether they eat other seafood or not?
This news of their diet really shocked me. Here I am, having this urge to be a semi-vegen... a pescatarian when 2 people in a different generation each is also a pescatarian. Probably it's just a coincidence? Probably not?

This is much a better photo of me that my younger sis in law took. Better than the previous one no? But still chubby la :P
My SIL's baby is having chicken pox and since I have free time, I'm babysitting her for the whole week except Thursday. Her baby's 4 months old. I hope I still remember how to jaga a baby! So probably I'll just do some light exercise this week.
As for next week, I'll be somewhere in Pahang menemani my SIL too for some function until the weekend. I hope I will still lose weight although I'm not doing much exercise.
This is where I put my eating habit to the test.
I'll see you guys again soon.
I came across this documentary when I read Jillian Michaels Facebook post on something similar to this one. This documentary is called Food Inc. Below is the trailer if you want to know what the docu's all about.
These are the end credits quotes from the documentary of Food Inc.:
You can vote to change this system.
Buy from companies that treat workers, animals and the environment with respect.
When you go to the supermarket, choose foods that are in season.
Buy foods that are organic.
Know what's in your food.
Read labels.
Know that you buy
The average meal travels 1500 miles from the farm to the supermarket.
Buy foods that are grown locally, shop at the farmers market.
Plant a garden(even a small one)
Everyone has a right to healthy food.
In Food Inc. you can witness how disgusting the cattle industry is where the cows live standing in their dung(najis) their whole lives. These dungs are high up to their buku lali(ankle). They are so over crowded and even the sick sometimes aren't being taken care of.
Apart from that the cows are being fed with corn. What's wrong with corn I say? Corn is not supposed to be fed to cows. Their supposed to be fed with grass. Cows semula jadinya are grass eaters. Their food has been changed due to the low cost of corn if you compare to grass which is quite expensive. So when these cows eat corn, they get fat. The other problem that the new diet creates is a sickness that has mutated into another whole new level which is a new type of E.Coli which kills people yearly in the United States.
There are also stories of how chickens being kept in long dark places and never see the light of day from day 1 till they have been slaughtered. These chickens are bred to be fatten soooo fast some of them can't even stand up and move their body! Some can't even stand it and die. It was so horrific! Back then in the USA the Black-Americans used to collect the chickens but now, they hire Mexicans to do it because some of them do not have proper documents. That being said, without proper documents whatever they saw in that long dark chicken coup they have no rights to even say anything at all! So usually they just do their job and shut their mouth.
This movie has opened my eyes about processed food. I don't really buy processed food that much except for occasional RM10 fish fillet per box or cheese sausages. I don't buy burger patties of any kinds because I dislike red meat.
Whatever turmoil that Malaysia has currently, Alhamdulillah I'm blessed that our food is still not as artificial as in the United States. Our cheapest food is still wholesome food like fish, rice, meat, veges... etc and not food that come from fast food restaurants! Yalah... you still can get cheap prices if you eat at some kampung warungs right?
Malaysian kids can still visit the Ayamas farms and our chickens and cattles can see the sunlight. Alhamdulillah. I pray that our small country won't become as greedy and would treat their animals with respect. I think that's what Halal is all about. Syukurlah Islam has rules and regulations about cleanliness and how to deal with binatang ternakan.
Although that most prices are going up, think about the good things that our country has done to us. If not much but the tiniest part will do.

Salam everyone. I've not been a good blogger as of lately. I don't have much time to put in my daily eating activities so I've gotten myself a food journal(it's actually just a normal diary) for free when I bought kibbles for my cat :)
As you can see above, I've been very diligent putting everyting I eat down inside my new food journal. It's more easier for me to bring it everywhere even when I put my son to sleep on early afternoons for his nap.
I hope I'll post photos of me during new years soon. Till then, happy Herbalife'ing' everyone!
Alhamdulillah, my FOOD arrived yesterday. 2 F1. Next to buy 2 F1 and 2 F3(one for sis in law). Also Teamix needs to replenish and buying it from sis in law, she used 2 scoops already but decided not to take it anymore... lucky me lah! Buuuut have to wait for extra budget. I truly miss eating Herbalife. Forgot how many weeks already I haven't been eating properly... probably since Hubby started eating HL and suddenly my stock finished and then had to wait to have extra cash Y_Y
So these couple of weeks during especially in Ramadhan, I'll be enjoying Strawberry and Chocolate F1... and the journey continues!!!

K-Fat, formally known as K-Fed(Britney Spear's ex) is being paid 1Million Pound Sterlings to get in shape again. Ah... the life of the rich and famous.
I'm currently taking a break from my daily exercise. It's been two weeks now without any weight training but I managed to run once in a while when I felt like it. I'm starting my exercise routine again this week. Felt really flabby and out of shape again. I've also started to feel really comfy with all the fatty food intakes.
I've finished my old can of whey protein and when I went to the store to buy some more there are so many to choose from. Thankfully the lady gave me a catalog. But then again I'm depending on my husband to choose which whey protein is the best. I'm just lazy to do all the research to find out which one is the best.
Being 60kgs is great so far. The greatest thing is that I could enjoy more variaties of clothes and feeling much better about myself. But I know the journey of being healthy does not stop here. I am targeting to lose more kilos before the big holiday on late Feb. or early March in Kelantan.

I must say this first week if the toughest. There are times when I don't even want to do it! My body tells me it's tiring but my mind and heart says otherwise. Dumbbells are pretty tough to work with since I have to put them in and out again comparing exercising at my in-laws house where there's a huge machine but I gotta admit that the tension of weight lifting is more focus when I use dumbbells and I could control the weights properly even more.
It's just that I'm complaining about the duration of putting the correct weight into the dumbbell holder plus when I workout in the morning it's quite noisy. But hey, why spread all the negative vibes right? Every weight training workout is supposed to be noisy. Plus, I'm doing this and will be losing weight like no ones business, even now!
I am happy that I feel really fresh everyday. My son is finally better from his fever and I don't feel tired to respond to all his needs. You know how toddlers are! As for my motivation this time around, I'm using The Law of Attraction. Other people's Before and After photos no longer keep my spirit high. I found out that Body for Life winners are also fewer last year and that's why The Law of Attraction works so fine with me right now although I'm still adjusting to all the goodness and positiveness in this world. It does make me a happier person when I think only positive matters and not the other way round.
There's two more days till my free day! I'm really excited. Although I am still trying the best I can to eat healthily. Trying to be a really really good gal here ^_^

I've finally started weight training yesterday and started up with upper body exercise and boy did my muscles ached badly yesterday. It ached so much like 'masuk angin' aching and only today that my other muscles are sore. A good sore, the one I like. Today the most sore parts are my upper chest(not lower ah, haha). I have a sore throat and I don't quite feel like running today...
