jogging, dried apricots and yong tao fu
met up some friends over the past few days...
first was with the secondary school buddies...after some re-runs of the ever-present "uzap-on-my-face" joke, they insisted on tempting my resistance by ordering fattening foods like french fries, pizzas and chicken wings...of which, i'm proud to say, i only had the latter two. you bastards...just wait till you go to the states and try the variety of fast food available...i'll make sure you all buy an osim i-gallop upon your return.
anyway, one my my buddies lost 8kg recently by reading some book (and obviously applying the methods) called "burn the fat and feed the muscle" by tom venuto. basically it talks about controlling your diet and excercising...i mean, shit lah, that's pretty commonsensical right? but sometimes all you need is just a reminder...or an "inspirational" angmoh author who publishes what we all should know by now. sheesh. maybe we believe the angmohs more cuz they have more experience with fat people in their land...haha.
moving on...i went to jo's place today after work. once again, the issue of my weight came up...but surprisingly, he had also read the same damn book that my secondary school buddy read. jo went from 78kg last july, to a waifish 65kg now. 13 kg in about 6 months. damn. i got the book from him straight after that. stupid tom venuto's having so much effect on my friends...scary.
dinner was a rather torturous affair at the parkway parade food court. jo suggested either porridge, fish soup or yong tao fu...and since i hate porridge, and i just had both the latter for lunch (i got a scolding after jo learned of this monstrous meal), i was in a real dilemma. yong tao fu won cuz it had more variety. sigh. the sacrifices i have to make...actually ah, i think that jo should rename his blog from "death by flatulence" to "death by abstinence". haha.
since i was obviously not fully satisfied with my dinner, we went to cold storage in search of snacks...oh sorry, HEALTHY snacks. here's what i bought:
dried apricots
nutritional value
"huh??? zero calories from fat???"
dried apricot
jo doesn't like "zero calories from fat dried apricots":
open up and say ahhh
on the lighter side of things, i'm going to start with this regime soon too...after i finish reading all 340 pages of this book that is. haha.
in the meantime, it'll just be jogging, dried apricots and yong tao fu...wish me luck.
cheers. =)

The dried apricots were pretty nasty man - like eating rotten fruit...
Anyways,
Y.T.F - i suggest eating the soupy version only
IMO, fish soup would be a better choice lor, better results...
Also fresh fruits are always better than the dried, preserved versions, especially when fresh = not "rotten"
wah jo! you lost damn a lot of weight leh! you look erm... skinny!
how your running regiment? i'm going to resolve to run in march when the weather is warmer. i'm going to run the marathon again this year!
i love chilled oranges!
Today, when I was in the train with people in all shapes and sizes around me... I've concluded that it's good to be blessed with good genes, being able to eat cheese fries everyday without even to worry about gaining extra pound. Sickening, right? Yeah, I think so too.
Find something u enjoy doing. For me it's kickboxing. Damn fun. Join a gym lor.
Cut down on the amount of food you eat slowly and make healthier choices but don't starve yourself.
I've lost about 12kg since I gave birth. Heh.
Jo's book helped. Thanks Jo.
jo...i've been only eating fish soup, seafood soup and chicken breasts for the past few days. sigh. =|
wayne...can't wait to see what you look like when you get back from angmoh land. haha.
explicist...yes. i used to be one of those people...in university days when i could afford to play sports everyday. haha. i used to eat two meals per sitting (one laksa and one chicken rice). gone are those days...sigh.

The first few kgs was mainly water retention. U have to be a woman to enjoy the joys of water retention, I guess.....
