Anyway, while I was having my noodles, I was very disgusted with that wooden round disposable chopsticks that we usually see at foodcourt. Don't you find that chopsticks is so smelly? In fact I find it a stench. I literally put the chopsticks aside and ate my noodles with only a spoon. I am so disgusted when I see so many people eating with that chopsticks.

The next time when I eat out, it will really depends on the type of apparatus available for me.

yamizi's slimming challenge day-13 27.01.09

Pineapple tarts became my breakfast and had my favourite Ajisen Ton Toro Ramen as lunch. But I'm dragged to think that I am going to start near-raw the next day when my mom isn't helping by making stewed chicken pot for the dinner next day.

Sighs.

yamizi's slimming challenge day-12 26.01.09

Another day of so-called eating a lot that includes some KFC stuff and a slice of pizza. You may not believe it, I really don't like KFC stuff. I would rather prefer eating Long John's Silver but apparently my family prefer over KFC instead.

Argh~

What a year to start my new year.

yamizi's slimming challenge day-11 25.01.09

It's the new year's eve last night and of course I had ate a lot! But my alot also not say a lot, it's consider as my usual portion. But it's different nowadays when I want to make a difference. Anyway, may the year of Ox be a smooth sailing year to everyone =)

Hell unleashed and where temptation for food is beginning to flood me!:-

late dinner:- 2 packets of Myojyo instant noodles with an egg and ikan bilis, 1 packet of Yeo's not so sweet chrysanthemum tea

misc:- 1 cup of grass jelly drink, plenty cups of Chinese tea, 1 glass of nutty shake (I'm not sure is it the correct name for it) from Food#03, 1 piece of pineapple tart (and you would have guessed it correctly 'cos it doesn't taste very nice, I cannot give up pineapple tarts too)

Tonight is the reunion dinner...it will be hell lots of food one lah! =P

yamizi's slimming challenge day-9 23.01.09

This is what I have eaten so far and I had taken meat!:-

past midnight:- 1 bottle of Yakult original and orange flavour

breakfast:- prawn rolls (same as the previous day) and 2 slices of Gardenia wholemeal bread spread with Snow margarine

lunch:- white rice, some stir-fried beancurd with egg-fillings, spicy diced chicken, honey-glazed chicken wings, 1 cup of teh-o

snacking:- prawn rolls again!!!

late night dinner at Food#03:- chup chai pasta, salad, a kind of tomato and don't-know-what soup with bread

My weight is 99.8kg!!! It has shoot up again. Tien and I were wondering why. Probably it will be more sitable to go more intense after Chinese New Year! Anyway the chup chai pasta really very nice. I like that sour-sour type of taste. It's very appetitizing.

yamizi's slimming challenge day-8 22.01.09

Here we go for my daily checklist!:-

past midnight:- 1 packet of Yeo's low sugar chrsanthenum drink late

breakfast:- 1 mug of milo, 4 slices of Gardenia wholemeal bread with Snow margarine

lunch:- 1 small container of salad from Food#03, 1 apple

snacks:- few pieces of prawn roll (the Chinese New Year delicacies)

dinner: 1 big bowl of sliced fish soup that comes with Si Chuan Cai and tomatoes, 1 small container of salad from Food#03, a kind of red-coloured soup from Food#03 which I only drank like 6 teaspoons, many raw lettuce leaves

I find my mom very cute. She tried that red-coloured soup and in fact she drank more than I did! She told me she didn't like the taste but don't want to waste it. So every spoon she drank, she quickly ate some vegetables or Si Chuan Cai to do away the taste that the both of us are not used to it. Heh.

yamizi's slimming challenge day-7 21.01.09

So far so good!:-

breakfast:- 1 mug of milo and 4 slices of Gardenia wholemeal bread spread with Snow margarine

lunch:- 1 box of yu-sheng-look-alike salad that came with sauces from Food#03, 2 small chilled bananas, 1 pear and 1 apple

snack: 1 x Old Chang Kee pineapple pie

dinner: 1 plate of Food#03 Creamy Mushroom Pasta and 1 glass of pear-date-drink (???)

Chilled bananas taste nice but I believe they made my tummy tumble.

Successfully avoid meat today =P

yamizi's slimming challenge day-6 20.01.09

Yes! I took meat today!!!:-
breakfast: vegetarian vermicilli with mock fish and goose, teh-o

lunch:- 1 cup of freshly squeezed sugarcane juice with sour plum

early dinner:- 1 bowl of prawn mee soup that comes with lean meat and lard!!!

dinner??:- some steamed fish (very sweet and nice), mushrooms, raw and cooked lettuce, lean meat, a boiled egg

misc:- 2 cups of peppermint tea

The adventure of eating prawn mee was interesting. I passed by the stall during lunch time. At that time, I did think of wanting to eat the prawn mee but I passed it. It was when I passed by there again in the afternoon, then I ate it. I was quite hungry as I only had a drink for lunch. In my mind, I was cancelling out roast pork rice, chicken rice, mee hoon kuay, etc. Sounds very high carbo. So I went for prawn mee soup. And yes the lards were nice =P

The main issue I felt was don't be too harsh to my body. Tomorrow should be able to undertake it properly...

Tien and I were so busy today, I didn't get to get the meals from him for the next 2 days. Never mind, try my own way of avoiding meat and eating green!

yamizi's slimming challenge day-3 17.01.09

I forgot to update about my weight. I took my weight last night, I weigh 99 kg now. I am not sure is it really that I have lost 2 kg in just 2 days or somehow I lose some weight along the way. Anyway, I think today's diet is not going to impressive.

Ah...I know many of you is going to laugh at me. I am laughing at myself too. I had wanted to go for a swim earlier but is feeling feverish from then till now.

yamizi's near-raw diet challenge day-2 16.01.09

Notice the change of title? After careful consideration that since I am not having my near-raw diet daily or might even give up near-raw diet, therefore the change of the title. The primary aim for this dieting is to lose weight anyway.

I think I may have this psychological blockage about eating raw vegetables. After some verification, I did manage to consume some of the raw food but green ones. I even felt a little nausea when I was having my salad for lunch and I assure you that it's neither the taste or smell. The mind just triggered like that.

Anyway this is what I had eaten on day 2:-

Breakfast:- 1 mug of milo, 2 slices of Gardenia wholemeal bread spread with Snow margarine snacks:- 4 pieces of almond cookies and 2 pieces of pineapple tarts (homemade by my colleague)

Lunch:- 1 box of Pumpkin Rice, 1 box of salad with salsa sauce all from Food#03

snacks:- 3 pieces of chocolate given by my colleague, 1 pineapple pie from Old Chang Kee

Dinner:- 2 chilled bananas

snacks:- 1 bitter-lemon from Food#03

yamizi's near-raw diet challenge day-1 15.01.2009

Good evening! Today is the first day of my diet challenge. And it really has proven to be a challenge for me so far! I had actually took the pictures of the food with my colleague's camera phone, however, he didn't email me the pictures! So forget it lah.

As mention, I will attempt this near-raw diet on my working days. Therefore, on non-working days, I will resume my default non-vegetarian dietary, however, will be moderate, if not would have waste the effort! I will track down the type of workout I do if I do happen to do them.

The first concern for this diet challenge is my mom. Little did I expect I had to take so many boxes home last night. I was anticipating that my mom would jump at me for taking quite some spaces in the fridge but she didn't. From her expression, I guessed that she was sort of half encouraging me and half bewildered. Because I am not exactly a person who eat green.

Another challenge is the stare from my colleagues. All of them were stunned at first glance of me eating the greens but all of them said actually the food looks delicious.

A bit of information about my current status. My height is 173 cm and my weight is 101 kg or more. From tomorrow onwards, I will monitor my weight on everyday Friday. And see how it drops. My ideal weight is about 70 kg. But I had never hit that. My 'lightest' weight was about 75 kg. To me, I am happy if I can hit back 80 kg.

Anyway, this is what I had consumed:

Pass midnight (I reached home late last night):- 1 mug of freshly squeeze orange juice

Breakfast:- 1 mug of milo (2 spoons of milo and 2 teaspoons of sugar), 5 slices of Gardenia wholemeal bread spread with Snow margarine

Lunch:- 1 Tien's Sandwich, 1 lunchbox of salad with the cauliflower as the main theme (box 1), 1 lunchbox of salad diced kiwi fruit, orange, tomato (box 2), 1 mug of warm water

Dinner:- 1 small bowl of pumpkin soup

Now (=P):- 1 mug of drink that has pear and dates Plain water now-and-then

The mug that I had mentioned is about 1.5 the capacity of an average cup. I couldn't finish box 2. I realise the eating lunch with 1 mug of warm water filled me up easily. I got to say that the sauces made the salads more tasty to me. I like that bacon-looking thing in box 1. Not sure what is that, got to ask Tien tomorrow. I think for tomorrow, I will bring only the Pumpkin Rice and 1 box 2. That should be suffice, since at night I will drop by to Food#03 again.

I do find that it would probably take some time for me to get used to raw vegetable's taste. I may consider using fruits to replace some of the meals. That's a bit like juicing is it?

My mom tried a bit of pumpkin soup and she likes it. But she doesn't appreciate the drink with the pear and dates. Oh, she likes that bacon-looking thing too.
