I have not been going out much since the Ultimate Fei Chai trip. Committed to stay true to my words, I avoided social activities at all costs; apart from having simple dinners with Ed and some really good friends. I am proud of myself.
It is not easy to say no to friends when they ask you out, especially those whom you haven’t met in ages, and it usually happen (to get invitations) when you are on a friggin’ diet. Your will power is put to test. It is the mind over gluttony battle. Gluttony has always proven too strong to resist, ranking as one of the seven deadly sins.
We are talking about health at stake here. I was thinking how would I supposed to carry on living if I were to be plagued with diseases arising from obesity - hypertension (which I already suffering from), diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, cancer, joint pains, celibacy (Okay! This is not a disease. But this might breed depression, and subsequently cause more complications), etc. This ain’t a joke.
No more procrastination this time. No more excuses. No nonsense like not eating at all either.
I have cut down tremendously on coffee. Used to have 2-3 cups per day since the tea lady, Madam V, made the best cup of nescafé in the office. I only take one cup in the morning – with no sugar. Daily breakfast no longer consists of nasi lemak or oily stuffs, only biscuits or fibre drinks. Occasionally, I still spoil myself with nasi lemak/ roti canai – with condition - maximum once a week.
I start having light lunch; sandwiches with high fibre bread and the nicely cut fruits by my sister. My sis is the main motivator in my diet scheme.
As for dinner, I tried my best not to have too much carbs. Only a cup of brown rice (oops, rice!) and some crackers (Oops.. more carbs)… ok lah. I admit I am a carb addict.
Hopefully I could maintain this till I reach the objective: to get off hypertensive medication by losing some serious weight.
I’ll be off the gym again next week.
Weight loss since last posting on diet: 4 ½ kgs.

And how long do bears spend sleeping?

Yes! Kampatei! Jia Yue!
Ps. The bears spent the entire winter sleeping – so I guess about 2-3 months? Max?
