Boxing day!

Fun we had at boxing tonight!

my weight loss progress/transformation

I still got about 15kgs I would wanna lose. Havent been really dieting and stuff, but I'm still active..or BARELY active. My only exercise now is boxing. I LOVE BOXING, but I miss lifting weights too....BUT my wrist is still healing from a fracture. And injury sucks. i can't lift weights, but I can do cardio and aerobic exercises. Will up on that intensity.

My progress as of today:

And yea...this is what I call from shit to fit. But I'm still on the heavier side. Oh well! Jia you!

Flexibility

How flexible are you?
It doesn't mean that if you are very flexible you are fit. Being too flexible has a downside. Your muscles are overstretched and it may be weak. So always include strength exercises with flexibility stretching.

Yea, that's my flexibility of my thighs. 

My calves, not so. hahahaha...my calves are super tight cause I don't stretch them regularly. I needa start stretching them.

How do I stretch my inner thighs?
I spread my legs onto a wall to the max I can, and I hold for about a min and then i loosen it, and i go back to the stretching again and i try to push forward while taking in deep breaths.

Remember: DO NOT BOUNCE! It will injure you. Maybe muscle tear or strain. Just, DON'T.

Negative of the caffeine

Yawn....or rather my body is too tired to yawn also...i took a warm bath n almost fell asleep. The caffeine pill lasted me 9hours. 2 of them. Equivalent to 4 shots of expresso. It's like it borrows energy from the hours after it wears off. Long day tmr again. Gonna sleep! Nites!

The fatigue b4 the period

I am so so so tired. Even after sleeping, I woke up feeling like i got bang by a lorry. Not only bang, it 3 point turn me n bang again! I have a long long day n i just couldn't drag myself out...so i had my last resort. Caffeine pills. These miracle pills omph u up with energy n focus.It also reduces migraine. Bad side: u have to pee often cos it's a diuretic. The weather is SO hot today. Goodness. It's one of those rare days whereby im craving for plain water. Plain ice cold water.

My new fave body shampoo

This is super nice. Super nice smell, super nice texture. 

Main ingredients:

Vanilla and blue daisy

Vanilla has nourishing calming soothing properties

Blue daisy has skin soothing and ANTI-INFLAMMATORY properties

I'm a huge fan of anti-inflammatory. Somehow I get inflamed damn easily, because I don't drink plain water...yea I know...human body makes up 60-70% of water...I need water...I am TRYING to drink as much as possible, but somehow I can't stand the taste of water. When I do, i usually put a slice of lemon into ice water so the water taste is not that strong. 

ANYWAY, back to topic, this series of body shampoo also contains this thing:

Moisture Aid+

Silkbath’s unique formula of Moisture Aid + is a special blend of all-natural ingredients that increases skin’s NMF naturally and gradually. 

Infused with botanical ingredients like pure Argan oil, cherry blossom, rose hip, rosemary and more, Silkbath indulgent shower products are easy-rinse, rich in anti-oxidants and pH Balanced. It also offers UV protection from the good old tropical sun! 

My review on Silkbath soothing balance:

I was at the aisle looking for a nice smelling and budget body wash. So I saw this, I am quite a fan of vanilla smelling stuff. So I opened it, yes I OPENED IT and took a whiff. EH NOT BAD AH! So i bot it...less than $10SGD.

While using: The texture is literally, SILK. Its so smooth unlike other brands like dettol/shokubutsu that dries out my skin. The smell, is HEAVENLY. 

After using: My skin feels softer, fresher, and this silkbath soothing balance actually quenched my skin's thirst. I feel more hydrated, my skin...

I'm giving it 9/10

You are what you eat.

Whatever you eat, your body absorb and uses it for daily living and survival. So whatever you it, your body reflects it. If you eat a lot of processed food, your face looks processed. Ever wonder why some people look grey or yellow or pink? It's in their food. if you look yellowish, check your liver. Something is wrong with your liver function. if you look grey....i've got nth to say already.

yellow

Grey

Pinkish

Ya la ya la...i editted the yellow and grey...but that's really how you look like when u are unhealthy.

How to look pinkish?

Take lots of antioxidants. Food like BERRIES. RED BEANS. RED KIDNEY BEANS. weird uh...all these foods are of the red shade. 

Another thing, exercise. It improves your blood circulation and pump more blood to your arteries, and capillaries to make you look pinkish and u will have that natural blush. 

Last thing, DRINK WATER. Drink up. It will give you that natural glow you want and not dry and flaky skin or tight skin. 

Mc Donalds

Science teacher lost 17 kg just by eating McDonald’s?

US Science teacher John Cisna, lost almost 17kg and had his cholesterol level lowered after 90 days of eating just McDonald’s.

Sounds impossible? Well, not for this man at least.

For three months, the teacher only had McDonald’s for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

During the “experiment”, he became healthier and even picked up walking.

Now here’s where it all makes sense.

The experiment came with strict guidelines too. One of it was to make sure he sticks to a 2,000 calorie diet a day.

Cisna roped in his students to help by getting them to construct his daily meal plans based on the nutritional information found onMcDonald’s website.

The students also made sure that his meals contained the recommended amount of protein, carbohydrates and fats.

His meals included cheeseburgers as well as the healthier options such as oatmeal and egg whites.

At the end of the 90 days, Cisna’s deduction of the experiment goes as follows: “I can eat any food at McDonald’s that I want as long as I’m smart with the rest of the day at what I balance it out with.”

The conclusion was a polar opposite to what happened in another similar experiment seen in popular documentary “Super Size Me”, where a man went through a one-month experiment of eating only McDonald’s meals. His health deteriorated greatly.

With the success of Cisna’s experiment, we now know that there is still hope for the fast food junkie.

Anybody up for McDonald’s?

How about? HELL NO.  Sodium TOO high, fats TOO high. oh..just...no...

Still a fan of this

But, he ate this everyday for everymeal..but as u can see, its nth good.

LOOK AT THE FRIES!! WHAT THE HELL DID THEY PUT IN IT?

Greatest achievement of 2013

My 2014 would be better!

Girls...you know that craving b4 your period....

U know I know we all know la girls...and GUYS, pls do understand our cravings....dun say we eat like pigs or whatnots....YOU DUNNO HOW WE FEEL. Its like we can eat an entire cow.

Top food that women crave is CHOCOLATE. Yes? Correct?

When a woman is ovulating and closing to the M days, our need for magnesium increases like hell. And CHOCOLATE is rich in that stuff. So what to do if you crave for chocolate but you are watching your diet? Go for DARK CHOCOLATE of at least 65%.

Another thing we crave for is carbs. CARBS. CARBS. CARBS. Rice, noodles, potato, bread...you body needs extra energy to lose that uterus lining and toxins and stuff...go for good carbs like wholemeal bread, brown rice, wild rice, oatmeal...yea..no choice...white rice, noodles will tend to make you feel bloated cos b4 your period, your digestive system kinda 'shuts off' for a while and you get gassy easily. Avoid gluten as much as possible and gassy drinks.

One more thing that women crave, SALT. For some reason, potato chips will always attack my cravings. I would attack potato chips like NOBODY business. ESP salty ones and LAYS, RUFFLES...And I would eat them with coke. Eh, chips and coke go well tgt ok? But ah, CONTROL...CONTROL...CONTROL. When this craving of salt is strong, it usually means that you have a mineral deficiency...try to take a multivitamin pill daily, your salt cravings should reduce.

How to have a happy period?
Eat well, EXERCISE and SLEEP WELL.

Eat healthy, DO NOT skip meals, DO NOT starve yourself

And girls who are schooling or wad, DUN GIVE BULLSHIT that you are having cramps, cannot do work, cannot go to school, cannot do PE. GO AND EXERCISE. It will reduce your cramps. IT DOES, TRUST ME. The more you curl up like one ball on the bed, the worse it will become. Try to avoid taking pills for cramps, bad for your liver and kidneys.

Sleep is important for girls who are on their period or b4...your body needs to recover and rest from that bleeding period. Tired? SLEEP. Simple. No time to sleep? UP on iron intake and u should feel better.

Have a happy period!

Simple exercise and some tips

I am starting my new exercise program from today. Start out slow again after resting for A LONG LONG TIME. 

I came home after school, with make up. 

TIPS for girls: DO NOT wear make up for exercise, especially if you use foundation, concealer, etc. Eye make up only is ok but make sure it's waterproof. You won't want to become a panda while exercising. Girls who make up to gym, pls, u are there at the gym to exercise or attract attention? Maybe you want somemore confidence? Oh well...if you have your make up on, REMOVE the foundation cos it WILL clog your pores. Whether you like it or not, even if the bottle/tube says NON-CLOG, IT WILL CLOG. And girls know that CLOG=PIMPLES=BAD SKIN=YUCK. 

Moral of all the nagging: REMOVE YOUR MAKE UP BEFORE EXERCISING YOU VAIN POT. 

I removed one side of the makeup. yea, HUGE difference in my eyes. It looks less define. But MAIN point of my exercise is to SWEAT and FEEL GOOD. WHO CARES ABOUT HOW I LOOK?!

Get garang for my mini work out. 

My work out routine for today:

Skipping: 4 rounds of 3 mins 

1st round: double jump skips

2nd round: Single jump skips

3rd round: Single jump with alternate legs, single leg, cross hand, double turns

4th round: Double, triple turn skips, open close leg skips, front back skips, alternate 

Shadow Boxing: 2 rounds of 3 mins

Crunches: 500 reps 1 set

I sweat....not a lot...cause its night time, BUT it's a good kick start to my program since I can't weight lift cause of my fractured wrist
