TR90

I've been on this weight management program for the past 26 days now..nope, it's not a diet, I wouldn't call it that because typical diet restricts what you can and can't eat. Not this program that I'm on now. With TR90, I can eat just about anything I want but in moderation of course and as with any weight management program, cut down on fatty and sweet stuffs!

How's it working out for me I hear you say? Pretty well, Thank You! Lost 4.5KGs within the first 26 days and wait for it....80% of those weights are FAT!! wohoooo!! Visually, my tummy is practically gone! Muscle mass also increased close to 2%!! :)

The Rule of Thumb for the TR90 eating plan is to have all the major food group in all of your meals. The real "secret" is portion control! :)

4 food groups that needs to be in your daily meal (Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner):

• 1 fistful of Protein from meat source (eg. Fish, prawns (without the head of course!), chicken, pork, beef or any other meat source)
• 1 fistful of Protein from non-meat source (eg. eggs (without the yolk), beancurd / tofu, edemame beans, peas and other non-meat protein source)
• 1 palm-ful of vegetables (this can be salad (be mindful of the dressing), fruits or boiled vegetables)
• 1/2 palm-ful of carbohydrates (eg. rice, chappati, bread (1 slice), thosai or any other carbohydrate source)

I'm going to try to update this blog with the progress of this program as I go along, hopefully using this as a means to keep track of my progress.

I'm going to post my daily meals separated into weeks for easier viewing :)

Till then, Ciao!

That's how long since I last posted on this blog.

Anyways, it's really good to start blogging again and this time...I "promise" to blog on a more consistent basis. 

Ciao!

It's been a while...

Wow! It's been a while now since i've updated this blog..it's been 4 months to be precise :) Many things happened..hmmm..where should I start? OK, I know..i've got a new boss..new boss means new opportunities in workplace..so far it's been going great! Loads of new challenges and thank God, I'm coping rather well up till now..Hope this will continue to be so!

And oh yeah, who can forget about the leakages in our new apartment that takes forever to be rectified..was horrified after coming back from our CNY break and discovered that our second bedroom is soaking wet - literally - from water dripping down from the unit above ours..they are still working on it and yes, they've been trying to rectify it for the past 4 months or so -__-
hopefully it'll bear some fruit this time around, so far so good, no leakages (fingers crossed)

Also, been wanting to write about my modest collection of watches (only 5 so far) for a while now but haven't got the time (and the inspiration) to go about it... :P I have a feeling I be getting around it sooner rather then later...and of course my new toy, iPad2!!! Yeah baby!! I've gotten (or rather the mrs. Have gotten me) the iPad2 finally!! And it freaking awesome, except for the fact that it can't play flash... :P OK..I know I know, i'm blabering now..can't help it, pretty excited getting to start blogging again.. Watches review and pix coming up soon..watch out for this space!

Till then...Ciao!

St. Paul on Suffering..

I've calmed down a bit...beaten, no doubt but not down..everybody experiences some form of suffering whether it's physical, emotional as well as spiritual sufferings. I, myself, is experiencing suffering as well though not as great as Christ and/or St. Paul's. I found this very inspiring video on the suffering of St. Paul.

Compare our suffering with those of Christ and/or St. Paul and ours will fade in comparison...

Hope you will also get inspired and strenghten by this video..

Loads of catching up....

Wow!! How time flies...it's now been nearly 3 months since I've updated my blog...have been super busy for the past 3 months and had many things to handle too..Some good and some not so good :( but it's OK now...everything is A O.K..here's what's happened over the past 3 months:

August 2010:
busy preparing for the VP of our new home and checking for defects! :)) 

September 2010:
busy sourcing for good renovators and getting quotes and re-adjusting the quotation to fit our budget..while this might sound easy, but for those first time buyers (like yours truly), it is a big headache!

October 2010:
finally managed to re-adjust the renovation quotation to the one that fits our budget! Been busy running thru and fro between our currently rented apartment and our new home! You gotta monitor those renovators so that they don't screw up in their job! Having said that, they did a pretty good job and the missus is quite satisfied with their workmanship! :))

November 2010:
Beginning of the month, something not so good happened...long story short, went to petrol station to pump a full tank of RON95..100m later, my car crawled to a stop, engine started choking and finally not able to start it up..had it towed to nearest service center found out that there was actually water in the petrol from the petrol station.. total damage ~ 3 Grand (had this claimed from the petrol station later on)

Second part of this month actually sees the completion of our new home's renovation!!! wohoooooo!! and of course lots of Gs spent :(( but in anycase, money well spent I'd say...

The next week or so will be super busy again. We'll be packing up and moving to our new home!

So there you go, 3 months' happenings cramped up into one update for you... :))

Will try updating some pictures of mi casa next week..hopefully :)

Till then...todoloooooo..

Reminiscing...

Just a quick blog post today to document my thoughts...Came into the office a bit late today and overheard my Korean colleague speaking over the phone to a Korean customer reminded me of my honeymoon trip to Korea about 9 months ago.

It was a really nice trip, we met a lot of nice people in the tour group. The Korean tour guide was knowledgeable, friendly and not to mention quite hilarious :D . My cold air-conditioned office also reminds me of the weather in Korea at the time of our visit, thankfully though, my office is not as cold as it was in Korea during our time of visit (it was blistering cold during the winter months in Korea, -15C + wind chill!!).

All in all, I'd say the sceneries are quite breath-taking especially at Cheju Island on top of Seongsan Illchulbong (Sunrise Peak). Took us 30 minutes to hike to the top. Although it's a paved path up to the peak, it was still quite tiring :/ . O2 ski resort was nice too (experienced my first skiing lesson here..and I did pretty well I must say :D) and oh yeah, how can we forget the food??!! :D .. loads of kim-chis and bulgogis and pork!! Wifey loved the food there by the way...

I hope we can visit Korea once more in the not too distant future, preferably during Spring so that we can experience Cherry Blossom.. :)
