WEEK 3

Or rather, 'weak' 3... ppffffftttt.... :-(

Lost only 1.2 kg this week, coz I langgar pantang! Oh well, it was a conscious decision, so got no one else to be blamed but myself.

OK that's weight turun 1.2kg, tapi pelik plak water naik 0.3kg = water retention. I'm assuming maybe coz of menses, which is a common case. So kalau takdork water retention ni, my weight loss would be 1.5kg kot? Errrkkk... boleh ke kira camni? Hahaha! Saja nak nyedapkan ati :-)

The good bit is that there's no loss of Muscle Mass, BMI turun 0.5 points, Body Fat turun 0.9%, and Fitness Score naik 1 point.

The most satisfying reading was my blood pressure - 130/80 - normal, yay! This was my main concern, as one month ago, it read at 178/110. Itu pun bukan yang paling tinggi, some time back pernah reach 200/130, and another time the doc couldn't get a reading at all. Gila kan?

But I won't feel too guilty anyway. Weekend we had a hotel buffet dinner, for Abah's birthday do. I tried to stick to the grilled & bbq stuff, but their dessert counter was really the godaan syaitan haha! Simply couldn't resist the cheesecake n stuff, too too delish!

Tuesday we had an outing with the kids, dinner at Kenny Rogers which should be ok with my diet plan as they have flame-grilled chicken, except that the portion I had was much bigger than what is allowed.

Friday was another family outing, dengan family makngah sekali, to celebrate my BIL's winning a case. Hat yang ni memang kantoi abih, coz makan kat seafood restaurant yang serve my very favourite butter prawn & assam fish... hancus diet!

*berazam untuk lebih berhati-hati minggu ini... istiqamah, Jie!*

WEEK 2

More exciting than ever!

Loss of 2.8 kg, of which 1 kg was water and 1.8kg was fat. Now the REAL weight loss has begun! BMI reduced another 1.2 point, alhamduliLlah. Blood pressure reduced from 150/100 to 150/90.

Go go GO!

FIRST WEEK'S OVER, YAY!

AlhamduliLlah!

First week's result : loss of 2.9kg, BMI went down 1 point. I'm ecstatic!

Oyyy... let me enjoy the numbers for a while la... isy.

I know, I know, first few day's loss is usually water. In fact, the good doctor's fancy weighing machine indicates that I only lost 0.6kg of fat, the rest was water. *btw where did all that water come from??? aduhai, wierd giler :-) *

Anyhow I'm still very happy, 'coz my blood pressure reading last 2 weeks was dangerously high at 178/110, but today's reading was 150/100. Cool! Healthy food with lotsa greens and some exercise has produced results. And the best part is that I don't feel starved at all.

I'm so motivated to continue my new diet plan!

JOURNEY TO REGAIN MY HEALTH

There it is up there, My Weight Loss Ticker!

A Confession : I've been ignoring my health for so long and don't even bother to weigh myself, until recently I was horrified to discover I've hit a three digit number! And that is just the beginning *sigh*.

So I barged in at the clinic, no appointment even, and had the good doctor draw some blood from my arm and quickly quickly! send it to the lab for a full blood test. The results came back, and I was finally jarred into reality. As I had expected, diabetes mellitus... 14.8 summore!

And of course when there's diabetes, other areas get affected as well - kidney function, liver function, hormone imbalance etc.

Bottomline : I GOTTA LOSE WEIGHT! START EATING HEALTHY! EXERCISE!
urgghhh... as if I didn't know that already.

Further consultation with the good doctor sees me embarking on My Journey To Regain My Health.

Doakan saya berjaya!

DISCLOSE !

I do wonder, how much of our marital status information needs to be disclosed at work?

OKlah, for obvious reasons, the boss needs to know who your next of kin are and how to contact them, in case of emergency. Also need to identify immediate family members for medical coverage or insurance. And also they may need some info about your spouse, for tax record purposes.

I have been divorced for a while, no kids. Why do they need to know all details? Bila kawin, bila cerai, bila tarikh Perintah mahkamah, mahkamah daerah mana. Siapa nama ex, keje apa, alamat terkini dia. Heck, even I don't feel any need to know all that info about him after all these years, hah! Dan yang aku heran tu, borang permohonan nak jadi ahli Puspanita kat sini pun mintak semua info tu. Pelik, kan?

* sreeeetttt..... * <--- bunyi kertas kena koyak... Muahahahaha!

Oklah info untuk tujuan official, takpe kot. But hopefully the info won't be used against the staf la plak. Kes kena transfer on short notice atau transfer ke tempat jin bertendang, biasalah kena pada staf single / single again, alasannya "dia takde family, senang nak bergerak".

Bab cuti plak, staf single klu emergency leave, kena soal siasat - kenapa cuti, pegi mana, tak boleh ke buat masa weekend etc. Tapi staf lain senang-senang je call ofis "sori bos, saya EL ari ni, anak demam", dan esoknya plak "sori bos, saya sambung EL, suami plak demam". Even cuti rehat pun bos kadang-kadang biased - staf single kena beralah bab cuti panjang masa raya atau cuti sekolah, alasannya untuk beri peluang staf lain yang ada family tu balik kampung atau bawak anak-bini bercuti.

Bos-bos sekelian, toksah buat gitu erk? Orang single pun ada personal life taww....

p/s - tak dapek la esei nak join dinner free Puspanita yang ado poco-poco tu... huuuhuu...
