And the journey continues...

It has been one month + one week since i started my no rice diet and to be honest i am very dissapointed with d result. Juz like i mentioned in my previous entry, i juz don't know what went wrong. Despite not taking any rice at all and doing daily exercises, my weight is juz d same! I did not lose nor gain weight.

I've heard friends who've lost weight juz by not eating rice but they still consume high calory food and not exercise at all. Maybe my body needs more time to adjust coz each person's body is not d same (ayat penyedap hati). So, i'm not going to give up. I will still continue with my diet but dis time i'll be a bit lenient to myself.

I will eat rice whenever i feel i want to (at least once a month or on special occasions such as weddings or 'kenduris' but small portions) and will only exercise on alternate days in a week. Hahaha. Penat weh nak kena shampoo rambut tiap hari sbb asyik berpeluh. In fact, after one month of no rice, i juz had my favorite chicken rice from Melawati yesterday and when i weighed myself dis morning, it was still d same. It wasn't like i was craving for rice, it was more of an experiment (yelah tu). Hehe. But seriously, since i started dis diet i couldn't care less if i don't eat rice.

Enough said. We'll juz have to see how it goes. If by end of Feb 2010 i am still unable to lose even 1kg, then there is definitely something wrong with me coz one of my resolution is to weigh 45kg by end of June 2010!

Frust

Semakin hari i rasa semakin frust biler tgk jarum kat penimbang tu x menunjukkan sebarang perubahan padahal badan rasa mcm ringan n jeans pun rasa mcm longgar sikit. Arini dah masuk hari ke-23 diriku x makan nasi. Huhu. Actually masa balik umah my mil last week ada makan sikit n when i say sikit, i really mean sikit okeh. Mmg x pernah seumur hidup makan nasi ciput mcm tu tp xkanlah mil dah masak x makan langsung kan? Eventhough Mr A awal2 dah inform my mil yg i tgh diet n x makan nasi, i terpaksa korbankan 1 hari sbb x nak ada yg kecik hati.

I mula tertanya2 "am i doing d right thing?" "am i doing d right exercise?" Rasa frust sgt2 sampai nak give up pun ada. Buat apa nak diet & exercise penat2 kalau berat x turun jugak?! Baik makan mcm biasa kalau berat tu maintain jer. But luckily i have Mr A n my friends to support what i'm doing. Mr A org yg mula2 sekali ckp "jgn give up". He said i've come dis far to give it all up.

Biler fikir balik mmg betul pun. Belum lg sampai sebulan i started my new routine dah nak give up. So what kalau berat i still stagnant by end of dis month?! Mebe my body needs time to adjust. Kalau dah 3- 4 bulan pun xder result jugak mmg confirmlah something wrong.

Esok last nak naik weighing scale. Pasni mmg tunggu 01.01.10 baru nak naik balik. Kalau tiap2 hari timbang n x bergerak mmg boleh jd gila. Silap haribulan terus makan nasi lemak! Hahahaha.

7 days and counting...

Alhamdulillah arini masuk hari ke- 7 i mengamalkan no rice diet. Kenapa? X percaya ker? Serious okeh! Xder cheating. Actually dis is d 1st time i'm trying dis diet. Nak tgk apa effect dier kalau sebulan x makan nasi langsung. Masa mula2 i inform Mr A on dis diet, dier dah risau.

"U x blh x makan nasi terus. Nanti badan u x cukup energy boleh sakit sumer. Yada.. Yada.. Yada.."

So, i beritau dier let me try it out first. I know dat u don't want to see me get sick Mr A tp kalau betul2 x tahan, then i akan makan nasi but less portion than usual. Like hello. I'm not dat stupid to jeopardise my health.

So my new diet began on 1/12/09. Tp apa nak makan nak gantikan nasi? Mesti lapar giler nanti. Surprisingly it's not so bad after all.

Untuk breakfast, usually i makan a bowl of cereal (breakfast pun selalu dah dekat nak pkl 11).

For lunch pulak i akan makan sandwich, using wholemeal bread. Letaklah sandwich spread, beef/ chicken salami, lettuce, tomato n bbq/ chilli sauce. Kenyang lah jugak.

For dinner pulak depends, sometimes buat omelette or masak maggi (but not everyday). Kalau masak nasi for Mr A, then i akan meratah lauk jer. Kalau i rasa nak makan heavy sikit for dinner, then we all pegilah tempat fav i, Pappa Rich to hv kuey teow soup.

So far so good. Makan dah jaga. Now, jaga makan jer belum cukup. Mmg blh lose weight tp badan nak kena tonned jugak. So kenalah buat exercise. Disebabkan exercise dlm rumah jer, tiap2 hari i buat 'steps' for at least 1/2 hour. Ni utk 'tonned'kan kaki and butts. Pastu utk tonned kan lengan pulak buat exercise mcm angkat dumbell kecik tu but for me i x pakai dumbell tp guna body weight sendiri. Kat channel E! pun ada tunjuk exercise utk 'tonned'kan lengan guna body weight sendiri. U may be surprised sbb guna body weight sendiri pun blh lenguh2 jugak. Utk perut pulak mmg xleh ckp apa. Kena buat sit-ups tp sampai skrg i x start lg. Exercise lain tu ok lg tp nak buat sit-ups punyalah malas. Actually exercise yg paling bagus is swimming sbb u guna all ur body parts. Kolam dah ada kat depan rumah tp mcm segan lah pulak sbb last sekali swim kat pool rumah ni masa zaman sekolah dulu. Hehe. Ada lagi 24 hari sampai 1/01/10. Mudah- mudahan i akan berjaya tanpa memudaratkan kesihatan.

Wish me luck!

Perut 'tsunami'

Sebenarnyer dari last week dah beli teh org kampung ni tp sbb p***** terpaksa postpone dulu nak minum. So semlm 1st day start minum. Kat kotak tu tulis minum 2 kali sehari (after lunch n dinner). Masa tghari minum xder pape sgt. Perut rasa semcm tp sekali jer pegi toilet. Mlm after dinner minum lg. Feeling dier sama jer mcm tghari. Mr A pun sibuk nak minum jugak so layan jer lah. Dlm tgh mlm tu Mr A dah masuk toilet dulu tp x teruk sgt. Dlm pkl 2 lbh tu saya masuk tido.

Tiba2 pkl 4 pagi terjaga sbb rasa perut memulas2 mcm kena food poisoning. Apa lg, lari terus masuk toilet. Dekat nak 1/2 jam dok kat toilet xder pape tp perut still memulas giler babs. Sebabkan tersgt mengantuk, malas nak dok toilet lama2. Naik balik kat katil ingat blh tido sbb dah perut rasa kurang memulas tp dlm pkl 5 pagi terjaga lg. Dis time mmg lg teruk memulas. Mmg blh kata mcm ada tsunami lah dlm perut. Lari lg masuk toilet. Terus ceri beri. Sampai nak tertido jugaklah kat dlm toilet tu. Biler dah rasa mcm xder apa nak 'keluar' lg, barulah blh tido balik.

Dlm pkl 9 dah terjaga. Mcm biasa, Luqman nak tgk tv n Leia nak susu. Nasib baik after minum susu Leia tido balik so apa lg saya pun join lah dier tido sama. Bgn2 dah pkl 10.30 n perut memulas balik. Lari lg masuk toilet, ceri beri lg. Mr A pun sama jugak ceri beri. Nasib baik lps insiden ceri beri pkl 10.30 tu sampai skrg xder pape lg but still perut rasa semcm.

Mebe ada yg ckp "kalau nak lose weight pun kenapa sampai kena seksa diri sendiri?" The thing is saya dah pernah minum teh org kampung ni dulu so basically dah tau what to expect and saya xkan continue minum kalau ceri beri teruk sgt. Mmg d first week akan mengalami ceri beri sbb baru minum tp after dat insyaAllah x teruk sgt. Arini pun sbb x nak seharian kena ceri beri, after lunch x minum teh tu. Ni pas dinner td baru minum segelas. Tgklah mcm mana mlm ni blh tido ker x. Huhuhu
