Things that you can snack on, HEALTHY SNACKS!

Face it, we have our itchy mouth times whereby we're not hungry but we just feel like eating. And there are times whereby its not meal time yet but u are already feeling the hunger. What to do? Hunger is your body trying to tell u that it needs fuel. But WHAT kinda fuel must you give your body?

1st thing, your brain sometimes mistakes thirst for hunger. So when you feel hungry, try drinking a cup of water 1st. If the hunger goes away and doesn't come back anytime soon, u are thirsty and not hungry and that can save you a lot of extra unwanted calorie intake.

If le hunger comes back, TIME FOR FOOD.

You would wanna fuel the body but not OVER fuel. And fuel with the right kind of food.

1st food you can fuel with is sweet potato which i talked about before. It has high anti oxidents and high fibre which also help to fill your tummy. Its made of good carbs, meaning it releases energy slowly into your body and doesn't cause any sugar rush. We hate sugar rush, it makes us sleepy and lethargic.

2nd food dark chocolate (tip from my beloved boxing coach). Get a 70% one. Take 2 cubes. Take it when you are hungry or whenever you need a fuel during your workout.

Dark chocolate contains a number of vitamins and minerals that can support your health. Dark chocolate contains the following vitamins and minerals in high concentrations:

• Potassium
• Copper
• Magnesium 
• Iron

The copper and potassium in dark chocolate help prevent against  cardiovascular ailments. The iron protects against anemia and the magnesium in chocolate helps prevent type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure and heart disease. 

So yea, CHOCO UP!!!!

For me personally, I do not take fruits when im hungry. it somehow makes me hungrier...have no idea why also. maybe because of the high sugar content. 

3rd thing you can eat: FROZEN GRAPES. Its sweet. Good for peeps with a sweet tooth. You can get seedless grapes and put it in the freezer. I like to have it skinless but AIN'T NOBODY GOT TIME FOR THAT. So yea, i just live with the skin. Still yummy. 

so whenever you wanna snack, you can think of these 3. 

Some progress pics.

So the top is me 1 year ago. left is me a few weeks ago. And right is me today. 

The top, to me, LOOKS LIKE SHIT. The weird thing is when u are that size, u dun even realise how atrocious you look. And yea...that my friends is atrocious. Flufffffyyyyy. So soft so ewww the muscles..not even there. So I was sick and tired of that shit and decided i have to get back to my old self.

1st: me a few weeks ago

2nd: me a few days ago. I GREW FATTER. hahaha cause i was eating non-stop rubbish like chicken rice and chocolate and mooncakes...OH WELL. So yea...i got back in my game and started to work out and watch what I eat and today? NO MORE TUMMY! 

before and after the Vit C treatment

HUGE DIFFERENCE hahahahahha...both without make up. No foundation at all 

Workout and diet program for this week.

Workout:
Skipping. 3 sets of 2 mins.
Shadow boxing ( i feel stupid punching nth but oh well)
Core exercises

Diet:
Carbohydrates, protein and fibre in the morning for breakfast to break my fast at night. Today I had a sandwich with tuna, lettuce, tomato, egg

Lunch would be something filling but not that high in carbohydrates, but high in protein and fibre.

Snack on sweet potatoes and fruits. dinner would be something light....a chicken salad or smt...so yea..

What's in my make up bag (to-go)

So just to share what i put in my to go make up bag. Normally at home, I would wash my face using the garnier sakura facial wash...and den i use a toner and after that I use the garnier miracle perfecter, and if I have extra time i put on eye liner. Today i didn't have time to put on eyeliner so yea...its just bare face with bb cream a a little concealer cos i was developing dark circles from all the lack of sleep and dehydration.

So yea..this is my face with no filter. I have the bb cream on, concealer on the dark circles, mascara and a little blush. 

My to go make up kit. Brushes....mascara from lancome(dolly eyes). eyelash curler from shu uemura. blush from mac, a few lip gloss and the concealer. 

I dun really use brushes as i like the heat from my fingers to help me blend out the liquids. I only use brushes for the powders. I only use powder blush and occasionally loose powder when I feel sticky. But today I was feeling velvety. So yea...bbcream and concealer only. 

Some encouragement

“There are moments when troubles enter our lives and we can do nothing to avoid them.
But they are there for a reason. Only when we have overcome them will we understand why they were there.” 

“You cannot expect victory and plan for defeat.” 

“Head up, heart open. To better days!” 

“Believe in yourself and all that you are. Know that there is something inside you that is greater than any obstacle.”

“Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.”

To breathe out...or in?

I have been to the gym and seen people breathing differently while lifting weights. So when do you breathe in and when do you breathe out?

Answer: The moment of time when you are exerting the most force, BREATHE OUT! EXHALE! Just like boxing..when we are punching out, we as according to Boss, we must "tsssss" like a snake to exert more force. Same goes to lifting. You realise that in a power lifting competition, the competitors keep making weird and loud noises. It somehow gives them more strength...so yea...breathe out when u are exerting force.

The shock of my life

Over the weekend, I ate A LOT OF RUBBISH. HEY, dun judge, weekends are my cheat days...ANYWAY, I came to work, thinking oh, it would be normal for me to gain a little weight...maybe 1kg or less...I GAINED 2 DAMN KGS from I DUNNO WHERE. But, I LOST ALL OF THOSE EXTRAS in 7 hours. Yeap..2kgs in 7 hours...I did 15 mins of cardio, I ate sweet potato..I EVEN HAD NASI LEMAK IN THE MORNING. But, I LOST ALL the 2kgs i gained over the weekend...of course, water weight is a huge part of it, because i felt bloated. I drank up, went to pee like nobody's biz. So, yea....*girl problems*...u get water retention almost all the time and you feel fat. Oh well, I took some Caff pills..its a diuretic..The entire day, I have been eating sweet potatoes. ahahaha yummy stuff..sweet and controls my mood. AND it helps the reproduction of collagen, which will help my complexion. So it will be sweet potato week!

The sweet Potato Diet!

So, I am sure you guys have heard of sweet potato. Its a root. Veggie? Fruit?

This baby right here, not only yummy, SWEET its healthy. It IS carbs BUT! Its complex carbs...which means, it doesn't cause a sugar spike and drop unlike rice, noodles, prata....It releases sugar into your body slowly and keep you energetic. Not only that, it has vitamin c, magnesium and iron which is essential to the body and helps keep the stress level at bay because it keeps you calm. Stress=eating more=gaining unwanted weight. So yea, sweet potato is one of the better carbs that you can take if you are like me:A CARB LOVER!!!!!!!!!  I steam my sweet potatoes...OH, and it is good for your skin. 

EAT THE SWEET POTATO!

I should Probably have long hair...ahahaha.
