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...
Ah, darn it. I've lost my list of my dumbbell weight progress. With all the shifting of things from the old wing to the new wing of the house, somehow I miss placed it. I've been searching it for days and still can't find it anywhere.
I'll just have to do a new one. Such a tedious job to do but I just HAVE to do it cause I'm planning to workout starting this Sunday. It's been 10 months since I've stopped weight training. Which was after my last fall from the stairs heh. Sacredy-cat Sarah.

My prayers have been answered Alhamdulillah. All these months I've wanted the bench and new sets of dumbbells in our home and finally last week hubby brought it down from Papa's gym. I want it so much to happen and dreams are really really important so that I can achieve what I really really want...which is none other than losing those extra weight.
I foresee myself losing 10kgs on January and 10 more kgs by my birthday on March. Yes, that's how fast you can lose weight when you weight train. The doctor said it's good for my heart too. So I'll have twice the cardiovascular exercise(1. weight train 2. running). Although my friend told me that her brother's a specialist and forbid women to weight train but to know ones limit and to seek advice from a doctor for these matters can really satisfy my needs. I'm sorry but I do enjoy weight training and I can't stop it... not now, even though I was told it's not good for womens bones. I've gotten more points on the pro's of weight training for women than the points on cons of weight training for women(please forgive me for I have no time to write a full review about it).
As for my pre-hypertension symptoms, they are lesser and lesser by the day to almost none at all. Alhamdulillah, Praise to Allah! This one month of Ramadhan Mubarak, I have no contiuous palpitations, headaches and pain behind my neck. My weight has gone down to 65kgs and I know it has gone up a bit after Eid ul-Fitri. But not to worry... it's going DOWN!
I am a very happy lady! But not happy enough to see my sagging body on parts of my body hahahaha... I just wish that losing weight doesn't come with sagginess. It's really ugly. I've read about how extremely obese people especially women had rapid weight loss and had to deal with exsessive skin dangling around their body. They had to have a nip/tuck session to correct it. Especially around the belly area which to my surprise does look really ugly and scary! Well, I'm not that obese but my post pregnant belly is still here but not as big as it was before.
I wonder when will these saggy lines dissapear. My skin is filled with lined patterns, like I'm another species of human part alien lol.
Oh and before I forget, even though that now we have a mini gym at home, hubby and I are still trying to pick ourselves up and to start training again. I don't know WHY is it so hard to start. Even now I'm still eating quite loads of carbo everyday... Just like when I got back from my 4 day vacation in Sabah.
I've thought long enough and made a decision that yes amongst all of the things I wanna buy with the now limited money we have, I will buy a good meal replacement(for real this time). Don't be surprised with my slimmer body okay... Jangan jealous.
Yosh!!! Let next week be a more healthier week for both of us!!!

Pamela has lost 13 inches from her waist. She's down to 118 pounds, from a high of 215 in July of 2007. She lost the weight by changing her diet and doing pool exercises. See her inspiring story and two other midlife weight loss stories at the Palm Beach Post.
Alhamdulillah... today marked the beginning of Ramadhan fasting month (1 Ramadan 1429H). This time around also is the first time for me to enjoy Ramadhan along with my daily intakes of Herbalife.
I had these for sahur--
I had these for sahur--
- a glass of cappuccino flavoured Herbalife shakes
- two glasses of plain water
- a piece of chocolate almond muffin from a local bakery
- five pieces of Ritz cheese crackers
...while both my Puteri and Megat had a glass each of chocolate and vanilla flavoured Herbalife shakes respectively with a glass of water and a bowl of Nestlé Koko Krunch cereal. They looked much energized on this very first day, not like the previous years.
Same here... with just that little food I had for sahur, I felt so great! Don't get me wrong. I am not trying to control my diet during Ramadhan, but I was used to be eating that much only during sahur... and now with the help of Herbalife, I didn't feel tired at all, but I smiled all day instead. Thank you so much Herbalife, you really make my day! ;)
We had a normal break fast-- simple meal of white rice and lauk-pauk with a few glasses of water. I just had a glass full of hot Nestlé Omega Plus ActiCol milk like how I normally used to do before I go to bed. The milk of course helps lower cholesterol. For those of you on weight loss program, you can make yourself another Herbalife shakes at this stage.
Please take note that these are just my guidelines of what I had practise in my daily life.
Happy Ramadan!
Let me take this opportunity to wish you and your loved ones a happy and blessed Holy Month!
