Toning up

chinnee — Fri, 20 Apr 2012 17:21:27 +0000

Recently I was not getting very discipline with my diet. Although I have been losing some weight effectively (most likely due to stress), I do not think that loosing weight this way is healthy.

I thought life would be easier once the boys go to school, so I can start hitting the gym (you know toning my body with help of syntheroid), the truth is I am even more busier right now. The only time I can rest is in the afternoon, so when the boys take their nap, I will steal my nap too!

Impossible slimming down

chinnee — Mon, 27 Feb 2012 07:37:23 +0000

I think I would never ever get to slim down to my pre-pregnancy size anymore.

I have great appetite for food! I can never stop eating, not even a day. And by the time I reaches 40 in a few years time, I think I would need to wear a plus size party dress instead of squeezing into those cheongsam I had years back!

Qigong

chinnee — Fri, 17 Feb 2012 13:42:48 +0000

Lately hubby has been telling me about learning Qigong. He has been complaining a lot about his health, after getting the ecg report.

Hence, a friend of his invited him to take up Qigong together twice a week at a nearby Chinese School and fee is only Rm30 per month. Definitely so much cheaper than going to the gym!

Besides, doing Qigong also help to improve health and by concentrating, and by staying so focus, one can have a clearly mind state too. I just hope hubby would start to do something about himself, a change at least.

Slimmer but still not slim enough

chinnee — Thu, 20 Jan 2011 00:41:56 +0000

Everyone who have not seen me for quite some time commented I look slimmer now. Of course my huge 5 months pregnant like belly is still there, but overall I think I do slim down quite obviously. I am glad that the method I am trying works as well as the good diet pill that works. I know I am not working hard and discipline enough to follow the strict diet I am suppose to follow. If only I can control my craving, I would have easily fit into a slim cheong sam now, sigh…

What light meal means

chinnee — Fri, 19 Nov 2010 03:01:46 +0000

With diet coaching, I was taught that it is very important to eat the right way. What does that mean?

Instead of putting directly the food we like most into our mouth, we should eat in such sequent:
(example)

Tea > fruits/salad > soup > vege > egg/tofu > meat

For my case at home, this is what I usually do when dinning with my family

Herbalife tea mix (to speed up burning calorie in food intake)
Salad
Soup
Vege dish
Egg and meat

Common sense: To make our tummy full with more healthier food intake, so that we take less meat or carbo at the end of the meal. So if you are one fan of the fuente cigars , do make sure that you fill your stomach well first before anything else

Daily food intake

chinnee — Fri, 19 Nov 2010 02:53:26 +0000

Am going to record my diet plan here.

I started with meal replacement, once a day, 7 days ago. Now I manage to control my hunger better, at least up to 3 hours. Schedule that I am following is as below:

7.30am: A cup of warm tea mix, 250ml
8.00am: Fruit shake for break fast
10.00am: Fruits
12.00pm: Light lunch (with sequence-will explain in another post)
5.30pm: Fruit shake
8.00pm: Light dinner (with sequence-will explain in another post)

I read that this method helps to reduce food intake. Although I have not lost any weight as of now (first week), but at least I can control my food craving better now (at a longer interval). To find out more, do read more from hydroxycut reviews and see if there is any tips you can find from there.

Herbalife again

chinnee — Fri, 19 Nov 2010 02:44:52 +0000

I know I just can’t give up, until I see the desire result. Not only I am extremely overweight now, my organ is very unhealthy now. I admit that I have not been eating healthily in the past, and I took too much fried stuffs. I hope that this time, that my effort will pays off, no only to reduce my weight, but also have a healthier body that functions well. Read from some colon cleansing reviews that this meal replacement help. No harm giving a try anyway. Wish me luck!

Look out when riding on escalator with your kids

chinnee — Tue, 09 Nov 2010 13:55:48 +0000

We just witness a scary incident on an escalator, while I was looking at the rings in a jewelery shop next to it.

A boy’s finger or hand somehow got into the side of the escalator and subsequently, the whole palm was suck in by the moving force.

Although escalator seems pretty safe, we will never know what can happen especially when we have small little children riding on it.

To prevent similar case from happening to our children, I think some very important points that we should look into are:

Points to look out to for parents

* Carry your little toddler during using escalator to prevent them from squatting down, JUST IN CASE
* Warn your older child about the danger of escalator, explain DOs and DON’Ts clearly
* Teach your older children to HOLD ONLY the TOP PART of the BLACK RUBBER UPPER RAIL without fingers into the side/bottom of the rubber rail (a FB friend shared her niece’s hand was somehow trapped on that part years back too!)
* Younger kids should not be allowed to touch any parts of the escalator, DO NOT PICK UP something that has been dropped on the steps!
* Parents should use lift when kids are placed in stroller
* Even if it is a MUST to ride on an escalator with a child on stroller, do make sure that the child’s hand DO NOT TOUCH at part at the side of the escalator!

Hope the poor boy is alright, sigh…

Hot Spring

chinnee — Fri, 10 Sep 2010 14:48:58 +0000

It is a long weekend again next week so hubby thought of going to the Hot Spring in Sg.Klah. It would be a great therapy to sit in the hot water for hours, besides relaxation. I always think it would be great to own one of those temperature controlled jacuzzi tubs at home like how each Japanese has, but I think it is going to be extremely costly for our electricity and water bill in long run. Thus, still better to visit these natural hot spring, from time to time.

Clean air is good for sinus

chinnee — Fri, 10 Sep 2010 14:43:21 +0000

We just realised how dirty our air con filter is when hubby took it out to clean a week ago. Our girl has been suffering from very bad sinus and we should have cleaning the filter more frequently, but we did not. Luckily it is still as good as new after cleaning. In fact, it will be good to add one of the furnace filters to it so that it filters the air in our room cleaner.
