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. =)
