Tahukah anda? Bahawasanya nasik dinner tuh adalah 1/2 daripada nasik bungkus lunch? Aku purposely cut into 1/2 [mmg sengaja tak mintak kurang masa lunch] sebab nak tgk boleh kawal diri sendiri tak dari abehkan 1 bungkus... akekeke, boleh pulak balik umah, bahagi 2, simpan, malam makan as dinner - just add ayam dengan sayur jer. kenyang elok jer, burrpp. Alhamdulillahh...

RED FLAG DAY 4

11:30 am brunch
Homemade shakes:
250ml low fat milk
1/2 cup 20g mango yogurt
3 spoons Familia Choco
3 spoons oats
1 pc IKO muesli cracker: orange
2 pcs prunes
*blend all*

Aku dah tak der idea nak makan aper pagik2. Gamble buat homemade shakes which is ada susu dan yogurt, prepare to sakit perot today [if any]... harap2 tak... dah nak last2 period nih so... I hope nothing bad happen to me :-s, InsyaALLAH. BTW, 1/4 sandwich dan 1/2 Lurve kelmarin masih belom bersentuh, musti [try] makan hariknik. Lurve tak risau sangat, mmg letak dalam packet yg fresh seal so selamat la dok lama2 dalam tuh. Sandwich jer risau... lama2 even letak dalam freeze dah tak fresh kan kan kan. InsyaALLAH.

Oh yer! Yang kali nih punya shakes maybe sebab meriah barang2 kat dalam so melimpah sikit so i think next time leh letak low fat milk around 200ml cukup. IKO dah berat, prunes lagik, bender2 berat buat shakes melimpah more than 400ml per glass. Tak banyak,sikit jer... but stil melimpah kuo. Kena minum sket then pour the balance out kali ke 2 yg last tuh.

Almost forgot :-s, ader lagik leftover Monday; carrot cake uhuhuhu... malam nih xyah makan aper lah, abehkan sisa makanan ajer :P

In between
1 glass teamix green tea
1L plain water

Ops! Teamix abeh sudah... tak oda lagik. lengah2 pulak... so selongkar2 laci dapor, terjumpa green tea. Layan...

4:12 pm snack
1/2 packet of Lurve: Hot and Spicy
4 pcs dried figs

Ermm.. bila makan mix nuts, aku selalu TER-tinggal figs [buah ara] nih last2 sekali baru nak makan sebab kerasnyer, dan isinyer yang kering [kesian dier]. Kadang2 dapat yang sangat kering sampai kat dalam dah tak der aper, dah berongga sampai tak rasa isinyer. Nasib baik sikit kekadang dapat yang lembut [not actually] tapi still ada isi lagik lah walaupun kering, tapi yang jenis nih sedap lah nak mengunyah. Anyway, the point is the last mix nuts yang aku akan tinggal setiap kali makan tentulah si figs nih ahehehe.

Turn out tadih, aku simpan 1/2 Lurve yang kelmarin dalam seal packet mix nuts. Masa dah nak sampai hujung packet, leh rasa la ada leftover figs yang aku tak abehkan since... erk... I dun really remember. So I guess, it's time to finish it. The besh things is all 4 pcs tak der yang betol2 kering atau kosong berongga. Semua masih 1/2 kering means aku leh rasa isinyer dan sedap la pulak hahaha... Enjoy pulak makan figs nih tadih. Sedey bila dah abeh [chaih].

Here is some info about figs:

Nutrition

Figs are one of the highest plant sources of calcium and fiber. According to USDA data for the Mission variety, dried figs are richest in fiber, copper, manganese, magnesium, potassium, calcium, and vitamin K, relative to human needs. They have smaller amounts of many other nutrients. Figs have a laxative effect and contain many antioxidants. They are good source of flavonoids and polyphenols.[3] In one study, a 40-gram portion of dried figs (two medium size figs) produced a significant increase in plasma antioxidant capacity.[4]

Nice! Another fruits yang ader sumber potassium dalam nyer. Bagus makan before and after workout nih. Sumber tenaga nih ahehehe. You guys can google yourself about other info of figs if you like to read more... :D

Tips!

WORKOUT

I've email everybody under me recently [tak der lah ramai sgt] to check on their progress; cause some of them are to shy to email me and ask a question; I have to email them first :-s... and I'm glad to find out that 2 of them just started workout. I like that. The one that go for gym class, I left it to her self to experience the beauty of workout ahehehe, but the other one just started on her own in house and start to use the dumbell. As I don't want her to completely focus on weight lift only, I ask her to do some simple interval workout along with her dumbell.

Of course I do gave her a sample of my interval workout where she can use her dumbell in it. Thought I might share here with you. You guys can follow, mix it with your own workout or double it so you have as many as circuit per session if you like or if you feel you can do more than once.

1. jumping jack barehand 1 minute
2. sit up barehand 1 minutes
3. jump in place wih dumbell on your hand or if you want resistance, can lift up and down carefully while u're running 1 minute
4. push up barehand 1 minute
5. jump rope barehand 1 minute
6. lay back and flying arms with dumbell 1 minutes
7. mountain climbing barehand 1 minute
8. punch with dumbell 1 minute
9. plank barehand 1 minute
10. slow down inhale/exhale your style to pump down breathing and end the workout session

Now you have 10 minutes of your own workout at home. Double it if you think you can do more. Make it 1/2 [30 seconds per step] if you still in beginner stage. Ok, that's it. Wish you a good luck. Love ur food, love your workout, love your life... eat wisely and stay moderate :D

ps: I remember someone did email me ask if I can explain more how do I do my workout but I think I do share almost everything, every step and every info that I have in here. Erkk, ok, maybe not everything, I still owe everybody 'my yoga part' that I've not blog out about it yet but still, there's other workout here that is really usefull to follow. I did thinking about video my workout hahaha, but it quite funny looking my self doing workout :P. Maybe later aheheheh!

I tell you what... There's plenty of workout session in internet you can follow. If you don't know how to do a certain step of workout [only know by their name but you have no idea how to do it] just google it or search it in youtube. I'm sure it will help you. I do that everytime and it help me a lot's... :D.

Food Rules for Weight Loss


The number one bestseller on Amazon right now is Food Rules
by Michael Pollan. It's a slim paperback and costs just $5.00

Here's one review from Amazon;

This book cuts through all the garbage health information out there and gets back to real food and real nutrition. The format is simple and so is the message: Eat food, not too much, mostly plants. Our growing habit of eating packaged, processed foods has an impact on our bodies, our minds, and our planet, and Pollan outlines these while offering straightforward suggestions for getting real food back on the table. Great book.

I couldn't resist posting this review from Basil & Spice about the Eat-Clean Diet Recharged even though I am supposed to be on vacation! Call me a work-a-holic! I know it and love it! Okay, now I'm signing off for sure!
Well, I think the cloud is finally easing and I'm feeling as if light is coming through the grey. I had still felt blue last week, so much so that I cancelled all my Pilates sessions. But this week, I went Monday and today, and she worked me hard (I think to make up for lost sessions.) It's fine. It's tough, and sometimes midway I think I'm gonna collapse, but we make it through the hour in the end. :) I'm still amazed I've stuck with this for 1 year and 7 months. Me, the exercise hater. But when I have someone telling me, guiding me, encouraging me, pushing me, I like it. Alone, on my own, I end up stuck in inertia. Hate that about me. If you're a big gal in South Florida and you've wanted to try Pilates, but have been afraid cause of size or embarrassment, try one of the gals at The Pilates Room in North Miami Beach. Look for a welcome 3-session special and class pricing here.


If you're a pizza-lover, and want to try a no-fat, no-sugar, low-cal frozen pizza that gets shipped to your house, well, Pizza Fit'n Free has a special promo going on now (for new orders only). Use coupon code "superbowl" and you'll get 10% off yoru order. See their pizzas here. I'll be totally honest and say that I tried these a couple years ago and though they were...dreadful. Very dry, cardboardy, hard crust and skimpy toppings. But I understand that this is catering to an segment of dieters that really want to keep calories low and have to have a pizza fix. Me, I'd rather make a pita pizza with veggies and part-skim mozza and low-cal pizza sauce at home. Tastes better, imo. BUT...lots of points-watchers use these as a craving-killer that doesn't blast the diet like supermarket or delivery pizzas can. One of these pizzas is only 250 calories and you can top it the way you'd like.

Holey Donuts has added Weight Watchers points to their shopping pages (not all donuts I saw had them listed, but most).  For example, the mini cinnamon buns are 2 points each, four donuts holes  are 3 points, one Oreo Boston creme-filled is 4 points, and one strawberry shortcake is 5 points.

I've tried Crum Creek's soy snacks, and they tasted good, though I stopped ordering due to issues with soy. However, if you like a lower-carb pasta and aren't sensitive to soy, you might want to take advantage of Crum Creek's pasta sale. Get 30% off your order of pasta with the promo code "comfort."


 While hair care is not diet-related, it is mood-related to me. A good hair day makes me happier and a bad hair day lowers my joy level, I can tell you. In an effort to go more natural (not just in foods, but in other products), I've turned off the flat iron and blow-dryer (mostly) in favor of air-drying. (See mini-pics of my hair as it is au naturel, air-dried, at left. I'm still recovering from decades of straightening, but my curls will heal.) I've also switched to products that use either all or mostly natural products--oils, emollients, moisturizers, surfactants, etc. I'm a curly haired gal--quite curly. My hair naturally spirals and coils. Since late November, I haven't straightened it. And I've been using some interesting stuff I've sampled from Whole Foods and from Curlmart.  Shop now through February 1 at Curlmart and SAVE 15%. Use coupon code 5DAY15*. They carry lots of curl-friendly hair lines such as the Deva, Curl Junkie, MyHoneyChild, Mop Top, Kinky Curly, Jessicurl, Curly Hair Solutions, etc. If you have been straightening/blowing/flat-ironing and want to go natural with your waves or curls, I highly recommend the NaturallyCurly.com site, forum (CurlTalk), articles, and CurlMart reviews and products.

Hungry Girl has sent out her handy-dandy shopping list. If you want to take a look to see if you can get hints for your own fatfighting list, check out her pdf format list.


I hope there's lot of joy in your life today, and a little less fat. :) Happy Thursday!
