penyakit 5 words

omg. malasnya these days. i have gazillion of stuff to do in the office - having too much work demotivates me.

I do analysis for a living - and this affect my daily lives as well. As an analyst, I tend to over-analyze everything. Like, if I want to go to 3 places (eg, shopping, gym, errands, groceries), I would optimize my journey so that I would travel less including having to consider baggages/groceries bags that I might have to carry.

I am also obsessed about wiki-ing and researching info. I think I was the only few yang baca 30 pages manual of how to do assessment on your staff. I dig thru the office policy handbook to find out about policy on replacement leave (this due to someone in the office raised up issue on 5 days limit for replacement leaves)- they're wrong btw. I researched about how bad sit-ups/twist sit-ups for back/spine so that I won't be committing the crime of doing my body harm instead of good. And how about stagnant/steady cardio is not good for fat loss? Or there's no such thing as spot reduction? Obsessed much huh?

Somehow being in the world where information is everywhere, you just have to find the truth by yourself, isn't it?

Here here to google :D

cuti - cuti malaysia

I can't wait for cuti next week.. Oh yea, I'll be in KL next week for a little getaway.. I have no specific agenda - except gonna take the time to eat ikea meatball and makan2 time. So, who's free to meet next week????

On another note, I thought working out is gonna make me fit and healthy.. tapi.... i end up with sore bodies afterward most after training. If this week was sore arms+back next week would be sore quads, and now..... it's super sore calves. I can't even stand straight which leaves me walking tip-toe everywhere. So, no gym this week as I neeeeed to rest and heal. hehehehe.. excuses.. excuses..

PT4

- Elliptical 15 mins - 100 calories (very difficult to do when u have a sore quad)
- Push up to plank 20 (first set), 10x3 (afterwards)
- Vertical leg crunch 25x4
- Leg raise 25x4
- twist with weight plate 25x4
- treadmill 1.5km at 15% incline

dietery changes:-

-lite dinner obviouslly

with level t4 going down and age is not on my side- have to be extra hard to be superfit...

must do planks everyday now to strengthen the core and back
(back pain go awaaaay please - time to buy a new mattress)

of dream and such...

Last night, I dream of being pregnant with twin! I even went to scan and in shock aftward to found out two babies in my bellies. Gawd, imagine me with twin, i bet i can't even walk straight or climb up the stairs. What's next? I hope I won't be seeing dancing babies soon like ally mcbeal. (Obviously, this could be from watching too much tv)

I've been changing my body clock-time- meaning i get up like reallly really early (not that early!) to get ready for work. I even try to leave the house before 6am most days (insane i know!). Why the change? Since I've joined the gym and developed loathe for being in jammed, I tried to leave early in the morning and go home late at night. So, this means, I leave before everyone in the house gets up, and get home when everybody is in their bedroom. Luckily, no husband or babies waiting at home. Otherwise, my kids would be like, "errrr, who are u? r u my mummy?" Hehehehe..

If this goes on well in June, I'm hoping to change my flexi hour to 7.30-4.30. That means I could be home latest at 7pm and have time to relax and watch my fav show...

well, we'll see...

on food

Note the healthy resolution...

I have not had fa(s)t food for the last month, mcDonalds, KFC, pizza hut and other fast food. Despite the mood swings and craving for deep fried french fries, I managed not to give in to eating 600 calories french fries..
Not that I'm counting calories or anything..

Don't worry I still eat normal food. I can't imagine myself eating bland wholewheat bread (no mayo) + steamed (tasteless chicken breast) + salad.. To those who can, I salute you.. Being in a country surrounded by yummmmmy food everywhere, how can you resist???

Finally...

Here here to yummmmmy foood everwhere!!!!

update

Con and Chris's wedding pictures are up in her facebook. Wasn't she glowing and beautiful? I think they met in church group, so it's like a gift from God... Check out their faces, couple do resemblance each other, doesn't it?
----

I'm dying to go travel. Yet, my work schedule is basically packed with so many things to do. I might even have to cancel my Bali Trip in September due to work (yikes!).

----
On growing up - I've taken in consideration of having my own place! But KK properties is insaaaaaanely expensive for single income (normal people). There's no way people can afford descent property without having to starve every month. 15 years ago, single income family could afford property,car,feed the whole family and save for the children. I doubt that could happen nowadays (unless your pay is super-duper high).
----
I'm going for yoga class later this evening.

Check out this article, it explains all about body composition.

So after reading it, I knew my lean body mass is 40kg, so there is no way I could dip below 40kg without looking like a skeleton. So, make a realistic goal yea for those who want to lose weight or gain muscles.
