and Back to the regular showing...

So I'm back in melb after 7 long weeks away. 4 of which was fantastic (in Msia) and another 3 in Traralgon ( not so great but bearable). Though Melb has been my home for the past 4 years i find it hard to utter the word "home" when i refer to melb in any of my casual conversations. I guess my body may walk the streets of melbourne, but my soul still resides in Klang.

Enough of sentiment talk...now this is the dawn of my last sem... last.. did i say LAST semester of pharmacy. Im quite glad to be frank. I can't wait to put my skills to the test and see the all the hard earn cash rolling in.

I have a few things lined for me this semester. The first challenge on my "to do" list is to get into shape.. and i dont just mean loosing weight.. i want steamy hot.. curvy ..mariah type bod. All that holiday fat has to just GOOOOO!!!

Now to achieve that I would require a lot of discipline.. which I greatly lack in. I got a dear buddy to motivate me and keep my spirits high when my cravings for a chocolate mud cake soars high. I started my 21-day DIET plan... guys and girls.. this is not a FAD diet. It's highly recommened by nutritionist and dietitians in Australia.. and from trials, if you stick to the plan, the weight would drop.. of course with exercise as well.

The key point to loosing body fat is to have greater output of energy than input. Meaning the fat intake should be wayy less than the fat output. By doing this, your body will tend to use up your natural fat stores to offset the energy difference. And WALAH ... THE FAT IS OFF!!

So Im gonna use this blog as my journey through this next 3 weeks. I have stocked my fridge up with carrots.. cucumbers, rock melons to snack on... hopefully i can tahan not having the occasional chocolate chip cookie.

To me, it s not just about loosing weight and looking awesome. It s about being fit, and feeling healthy.

Today marked my first day into my diet.. I had muesli for breakfast, 3 pieces of walnut bagguete and ham for lunch and tuna, egg salad for dinner. I snacked on 2 pieces of kiwi fruit and some cheerie tomatoes. I feel good.. and happy that I indeed succeed today and am looking fwd to tmrw.

I shall be heading to bed soon.. yes yes i know it s only 9.30 pm but from today my bed time is 10.00 pm and I shall be up by 6.00 am for a run...

Till next time..
