Sunday night

Our bathroom scale has finally given up the ghost!

(I dont know why the saying is ‘give up the ghost’ kalau your barang2 have broken down or not working anymore.)

Maybe sebab we all stepped on it hari hari(kadang2 4-5 kali in one day, hikhikhik) or maybe sebab it’s 4-5 years old kot. Benda2 digital ni kadang2 jangka hayat dia tak lama sebab many more things that can break down.

Nasib baik we have another one in the other bathroom which we can use. Kalau tak, susah lah The Other Half nak keep track of his weight loss kan and susahlah dia nak ‘brag’ and go ‘woohoo’ everytime he steps on the scale, hehehe…

Masa dah habis Summer sale, masa tu lah dia nak break down pulaknya.

Sekarang ni, since I’m just trying to tone up my muscles, I’ve been doing weights and upper body and core body exercises.

I buat the exercises with The Other Half at home aje, on Friday morning and the weekend mornings masa The Little Misses tak bangun lagi. We normally do 30-45 minutes of exercise/morning.

My betis dulu yang saiz macam anak balak dah jadi macam ala2 bunting padi sikit lah, heeeee. And I can finally see the muscle definitions there.

The Other Half kata my thighs pun dah mengecut. My biceps and triceps are definitely showing their heads Smile. My abs and my obliques pun are getting there. So seronok!

And now I’ve increased my daily calories allowance, lagi lah macam2 I boleh makan. My favourite treat at night time is the snack size Picnic bar! 100cals aje/bar Smile. Only 10 minutes on the elliptical to burn that calories, hehehe.

And I can increase the carbs in my dinners as well.

Our dinner tonite, prawn fettucine with garlic and chilli.

Kaler dia kuning sebab I mixed grated carrot in it.

k.min,

jelesnya k.min dah boleh increase the calorie intake. I still have to stick to 1200 calorie a day, even on days yg I buat exercise yg consumed more than 600 calories. :(

well done. seronok dengar ur determination in healthy weigh management. buat kat rumah with some internet help plak tu. jimat masa & tenaga & $$$. ni la the kind of weight managment yg kita patut promote to everyone. no additional food supps/ money spent. cuma semangat & motivasi diri je. hahahaha (ada bunyi cam ustazah tak?)
nwys, good on ya. me biasa2 je. cuma kena maintain healthy weight + tone up muscles. :)

p/s: kelakar word verification kat bawah ni tulis 'askeding'

Kesian scale aka alat penimbang tu kerana bekerja keras utk tuannya...sbb tuannya gigih nak mendapat berat badan idaman.

Pendragon,
banyak english sayings yg pelik2 ni kan but best jugak bila guna sekali sekala :-).Skrg ni cuma tinggal my hubby aje yg masih bekerja keras nak kurus,hehehe

Nanak,
hehehe...samalah mcm I. Dlm 1 hari, mcm2 nombor the scale keluarkan utk my weight :-)

Nora,
Best bila tengok weight makin turun or stabil, tak best bila tengok nombor tu makin naik :-)

Mulan,
hahaha...I should have ukur my betis n peha sebelum mula weight loss journey ni kan. Baru lah boleh tayang kat blog the measurements, hehehe

Ayu,
I pun tau nama that betis muscles but kalau I tulis, takut ramai yg garu kepala tak paham, hehehe.
Lepas ni boleh cari boots lagi skinny ;-P

Shidah,
I know how it feels on 1200cals/day, been there done that, hehehe. But it's not too bad if you tak snack in between meals because then memang enough lah utk bfast, lunch and dinner and no tog over 1200:-).
Your protein shakes yg menaikkan cals tu?

A~,
Itu lah kan, that's why I try my best write the way we do our 'lifestyle changes' on this blog so orang boleh ikut the right way to lose weight.
We don't believe in fad diets, nor pills, nor herbal supplements for a long-term success. Cuma memang kena bersemangat and motivasi tinggi, hehehe.
The word verif. is trying to tell you yg you cekeding ke? hikhikhik

Anie,
Hahaha...kaki anak gajah tu besar weh! :-D. Mogok kang Mak dia tak nak masak sbb kena ejek kaki anak gajah, baru dia tau ye, hehehe

Indah,
Salam. Betis I ni mmng dr dulu sentiasa besar so bila dah emngecik sikit tu, memang happy sgt2, hehee

blu4sky,
dah ganti battery, tapi still mogok. We all nak bagi dia rehat a few days dulu and see how. Sian dia tak pernah bercuti, hahaha

June,
hehehe....nak gelak dulu. Ada pulak anak you sanggup tegur, hikhikhik. Tapi kan, anak2 ni slalu ckp yg betul ye tak? ;-)

Ayu,
Scale I tu mogok sbb tak pernha bercuti. Agaknya dia nak jugak merasa pergi holidays naik kapal terbang seminggu dua kot baru dia tak mogok balik, hehehe.
I kalau balik M'sia, memang tak kuat iman langsung nak menguruskan badan :-)

Sarasofia,
scale tu kan tak larat dah tengok we all hari2. Sure dia kata, sudah2 lah tu timbang berat. Bukannya beza banyak mana pun! hehehhee

Mrs Zack,
Alhamdulillah, ada jugak yg terikut our style of healthy living ni :-).
I tgh bagi scale tu rihat a few days, so hopefuly lepas ni tak lah mogok lagi, hehehe

Miss Cool said...
