Beivied - Five Days of Inertia

I have not exercised for the last five days. Getting Lazy again! Saturday was rest day. Sunday was diving day, which there is not much exercise in diving. Monday I was on MC to go SGH. I went back to do some housework. Tuesday afternoon I lazy didnt go for bodycombat. Wednesday I work until 7.30pm and husband came to fetch me at 8 plus.

So five days no workout. And I weigh myself today at 73.0kg today. I lost half kilo. IRONICAL!!!!!!

Beivied - 100 Simple Secrets of Healthy People - Secret 1

Use a Plan, not a Piecemeal Approach

When a house is built, all the steps of thr process have to be considered before construction starts. Otherwise you could wind up installing the doors and find that the fridge wont fit in. Similarly, your health plans have to be considered together as a whole instead of one piece at a time.

Your chances of sticking to a health improvement plan - eating right, exercising regularly - are higher if you focus on your overall health rather than just the task at hand.

In other words think about the things you could do to improve your health and how they fit together, and each act will reinforce everything else you are trying to do.

Example 1 - 72 year old Lee was walking with a cane until six years ago he started to do research and reading on preventing aging. He change his diet and added exercise to his regime, and now do exercise two hours a day.

Beivied - SGH visit

I went to visit the dietician and doctor yesterday.

My last record at SGH was 70.5 kg. Yesterday measured 74.4 kilo there. Although I am defiant about it being 74.4 instead of 73.4 (thats what I just weighed myself), it is still obvious that I gained weight within the last 4 months.

My blood and urine tests came out to be fine - Cholesterol level is good, blood pressure ok, liver function is well. Thyroid is fine (if not fine it can be the reason for obesity no matter how you eat or exercise, as it can mean your metabolism rate is far too low). Urine test a bit off as I was menstruating during the test. So, I do not have any predisposed conditions that make me fat.

One sad thing that came out of the talk with the dietician - I am eating too much fruit. I told her that I can eat 2 kiwis, one bowl of cherries, one slice of water melon, one slice of pineapple and some jackfruit, e.g. She say I can only eat maximum two cups worth of fruits each day. I felt kinda sad cos I was using fruits to make myself feel fuller and eat less fattening stuff.


She also say that it is very unhealthy that I eat all three meals outside, as the food often has hidden calories in the sauce and dressings. Both doctor and dietician suggested that I change one meal to meal replacement - those kind of nutrition milkshake like Ensure. Feel more depressed. Low fat milkshake is not the tastiest thing on earth. Nevertheless I bought a vanilla flavour Ensure, as the doctor also suggested to have vanilla flavour, where I can blend in some fruits for different taste now and then.

Dunno if it is all that they said. I end up craving more for food these two days. And I have not exercised these two days. BUT I STILL WANNA EAT!!! Arrrrggghhhhhh



As I am writing this blog, Tofu and Pickles are busy chasing each other around the house. How I wish I have that kind of energy - although it only last them for half hour. :)
