Diet Tip of the Day
Keep the Skin On
Speaking of fiber, a lot of it’s in the peel, whether it’s potatoes, apples, or pears. Even oranges: Don’t eat the whole peel, but keep the pith, that white, stringy stuff—it’s packed with heart-healthy compounds called flavonoids.
Breakfast @ 8am
Small pot of yogurt. Watermelon. Small bowl of plain congee with vegetables.
Lunch @ 1-3pm
Snack foods (lots of fried foods) during karaoke with friends. My best high school girl friends group. Long time no see!
Drink @ 3.30pm
Glass of coke… at a strip club. Haha I managed to drag my innocent girl friends into a strip club.
Dinner @ 7.30pm
Half bowl of noodles and vegetables.
Fitness Tip of the Day
How Often Do You Need to Change Your Workout to Get Results?
By switching different exercise variables, you can avoid hitting a strength plateau without having to continuously add more weight and time to your workouts. Try changing two to four variables each week: weight, sets, reps, rest times.
Lunch @ 11am
Bowl of plain congee with kumara and vegetables.
Dinner @ 6.30pm
Bowl of noodles with vegetables. Small pot of raspberry yogurt. Watermelon and peach.
How was it a lovely day? When I weighed myself this morning it turns out I’m a whole kg lighter than yesterday. Although after lunch I did go back to the same weight as yesterday. Still happy though!

9 Tips on Staying Fuller, Longer:
Munch on nuts
Certain nuts, like almonds, make a great snack. They will also make you feel much fuller. In fact, if you eat a healthy amount of almonds almost every day for about six months, some experts say you can lose weight and shrink your waist!
Breakfast @ 7.45am
Bowl of pumpkins and vegetables.
Gym @ 9.15am
15 minutes warm-up muscle training.
31 minutes cardio: 15 minutes rowing, 16 minutes interval training on the treadmill (per minute alternation between 9.5 and 7.5 speeds).
20 minutes cool down and stretches.
That was my first interval training experience. I’m usually dying to get off a cardio machine in 10 minutes due to my lack of patience. This spiced things up a little and made each minute feel shorter.
Snack @ 12pm
One Godiva chocolate. Colleague brought them all the way from Hong Kong. Satisfying the craving was a must!
Afternoon Tea @ 2pm
Low fat yogurt. Chicken and egg sandwich.
Snack @ 4.30pm
One single chip. Friend taunted me with fish and chips.
Wii @ 5pm
15 minutes Just Dance 2. Tough workout and so amazingly fun.
Dinner @ 6pm
Half a corn and small ribs soup. Watermelon.
Wii @ 7pm
15 minutes Just Dance 2. I am so addicted.
