I lost weight?

I was very suprised when people start commenting on how much weight i've lost. Truth is, it was not that many kilos off. Just a couple or two only. I,myself don't see any difference in any parts of my body getting any smaller.

I guess taking in protein shakes and supplements really helps. This is from my own point of view since i, myself have been constantly consuming it. For those, who weren't believers of supplementation, well, who am i to say. You are in charge of your own mind and body, so think whats best for yourself. I am just going to share with you on my experience as a consumer. I was not a believer of any sort of vitamins. NEITHER were my entire family.

We used to have this mindset planted in our roots that if you are sick, then go get a doctor and seek for some medical attention. I used to think that people who consumes vitamins were sick retards because we always have this mindset that tablet looking things are medicine and they are naturally for sick people. And what happens when you get to see them eating a handful of tablets at one go? Weird? Yes? NO?

It all started when i was really in need of some weight management help! I tried a lot of things. From jamu, a traditional indonesian brewed thingy that smelled like burnt tyres to a very famous japanese invention which had been said to allow one to lose 3 kg in 3 days and 6 kg in 6 days. Pfft! i can still memorize the tagline from the ad which was in malay ( Berat badan saya turun 3kg dalam 3 hari * switched position* dan 6 kg dalam 6 hari (*Insert prodName) Sungguh MEMUASKAN! WAK LU!

Nothing worked. I got so frustrated, that i combined everything at one go with the idea of having an effective outcome. Kirekan double effect la kan. Padahal, padahal! Things got worse. My menstruation cycle went haywire. It will come and go as and went they feel like it. My mom even thought i had done something wrong just coz i didnt have any lapse for the entire fasting month! It was oh so dramatic and funny at the same time. Then, i started reading up a lot. That is the only way to learn and to know.

Well, of coz you can always get the doctor to check on you but the only thing that they could prescribe for me at that point in time was some menstrual medication to regulate my cycle. That too came in a form of drugs. I began to wonder whether is there a much less hazardous alternative? Like going natural and let it naturally flow on its own. The more reading up being done, the more excited i get about nutrition. And do you want to know why my cycle was playing peek a boo on me? SImple. Lifestyle. Processed food intake, lack of exercise and nutritional benefits. That was the answer.

We can't deny the fact that processed food industry are taking over the world. Almost every few steps you take, you can easily find a fast food restaurant. It's cheap and easy to eat. Right? We failed to realise the acidity content and the Fat content of it all. To top it up, our servings of any protein and fibre intake will never be enough to balance up our meal. If you think having like a handful of mixed veges on your plate would be enough, you must be joking. It is not even 1/4 of a recommended intake on an average human. That is where, supplementation comes in. To supplement your meal in order to balance everything up. It doesn't mean you need to forgo your food and go solely on supplements. Thats insane!

So much so, to start consuming it, Please do ensure that the supplement that you are taking are fully organic with no side preservatives. Like when you are consuming vitamin c.. Ensure that the sources are 100% natural. Do your research and not just buy things on impulse. I believe, when u are talking about consuming and applying anything in or on your body, you must always find the best. YES?? SO what i did first was to detox. BY detoxing, you will get to flush out all the excess toxic.

It's like rebooting your computer and set it to factory default mode. After detoxing, you will find that your body feels slightly lighter for you to start exercising. You will get to burn more calories that way as you wont feel as lethargic as before. Go slow. Start things one at a time. I am not talking about exercising like as though you are running for the marathon. Do things at your own pace and then gradually challenge yourself and increase the intensity. If for some, running is not your most favourite like ME! i hate running.

Try to incorporate interesting activities that you like. Like dancing or swimming or anything besides lying down and only let your fingers do the work. Take in Protein shakes that is soya based along with an antioxidant pack such as vitamin A,C and E. You might also want to take in Vit B and salmon omega. Vitamin B Acts as an energy booster. I always feel more energetic after consuming B before exercising. As for salmon omega, it is believed to boost up on your calorie burn.
I am still in the quest to burn more fats. I am not talking about going on intense drastic change because, well, lets face it, i cannot forgo my Macdonalds, KFC and etc. HAHA! SO for all you lovers who are also riding on the same treadmill as i am (chey bah) Lets motivate each other! Because if i can do it, You can do it too!

Hey..
It's been awhile ain't it?
It's been very dusty. This site is officially as dusty as my neighbour's abandoned broom right outside my corridor. Haha. Merepek aje ( CRAP ONLY!)

A lot of things happened. Some were relatively good. And for some, well lets just say it's been a hell of a roadtrip..
Let's just recall some of the past events that i had insanely got myself into.

Like trying out for anugerah and cleared through till the top 200. I must say it was a job well done actually considering that i managed to overcome the past 1000+ contestants. Kirekan still got harapan la hor!

BUt oh well.. Mukaku tak cukup lawa (face not pretty enough!), so top 50 wasnt in my hands. Even so, i would like to give my greatest gratitude to sha and aini for coming by to support! I love you girls very very much and it really means a lot!

Especially to Yan who has always been around from the very start. Wa Caya Sama lu ah brother.. You rock! JAMAL ABDILLAH FOREVER!

Not forgetting, the entire platoon of Madi's residence who were there supporting me. I'm sorry it didn't turned out that well. My mother was exceptionally living indenial and picking on every single thing that might have gone wrong. Well, i kinda already expected that to happen. She has always been that way since day 1. It was the outfit, the choice of song blah blah blah.

On a brighter side of things, i managed to get myself a job. I think by now, 100% of the population in fb would have known.. haha, just in case (u) don't, i got myself a HR position. My work officially starts this monday. The only thing now to be worried about is what i should be wearing. I am in need of a suit. It's a requirement to be smartly attired at all times. Therefore, the urgency to go get em.

SO yea that's about it i guess. My life is a little bit boring ain't it? But that is just how it is. Plain,lengthy and less colorful. No pictures. Pictures are for very special occassions because i do believe that your life and what you are doing isn't for others to view and to comment. It's suppose to be kept close to your heart and maybe as a momento for something that you might want to refer back on whenever and wherever you want to.

Yan and i had a great time laughing about a friend of ours who spelled passionate as pashonate. That was the highlight of tonight's entry.

to that friend, STAY PASHONATE.
Till we meet again.

Love,
lala

Chap 1

Saying I'm wrong and admitting that we're wrong at one point or another would be the hardest thing to say. What more to genuinely mean it. It's especially the most hardest to say to those whom we care for most or want most to care about us.

Saying I'm wrong is meaningless unless it comes from our heart,not just our lips.That often requires a genuine and profound change within ourselves,because we need to accept that we, can be wrong.Even if admission hurts,we need to realise that it's simply human nature that we make mistakes.

Saying I'm wrong shifts our attitude and opens us to the benefits of healthy relationships as we look for ways to be positive.It's hard to be wrong and harder still to admit to someone when we're wrong.But we need to learn that hard lesson.

Do you know in your heart you've been wrong but never truly admitted it to yourself or someone who should know? What would happened if you said to that person,"I'm wrong.You were right." Try it.You'll find it's not as daunting as you might imagine,and it will keep getting easier.
