Nearly there

The Other Half likes to ‘cheat’ on the scale.

He will weigh himself right after he comes home from work after riding for an hour and half dehydrated from the sweat loss. Obviously lah, the scale will show him really good numbers kan, hehehe.

His excuse, “it makes me happy to see the smaller numbers. I know it’s not the right weight but it motivates me to keep on doing it.”

I guess that’s a good enough reason Open-mouthed smile.

Like today, he came home from work and straight away weighed himself and got 80.1kg on the scale. Terkejut jugak I with that big drop until he said to me, “I forgot to take the water bottle along so I’m so dehydrated now, hehehe.”

Lepas dia minum 1 jug air, naik balik his weight, hahahaha…..

And after tonite’s dinner, berat we all sama2 naik because it’s a high calorie dinner. But it was still within our calorie allowance so takpe lagi Smile.

I made potato with goat cheese and sundried tomato damper guna recipe ini. Tapi I don’t like olives so I ganti dengan sundried tomato. And we had it with chicken rissoles and sausage and green salad.

Our dinner is normally around 400cals or less but tonite’s dinner was around 600 cals which come mostly from the cheesy potato bread. We probably over estimate the cals for the bread but I would rather over estimate than under estimate.

But it tasted really sedap so it was worth the calories, hehehe.

Namapk aje macam burnt rissoles tu but tak sebenarnya Smile.

And selalunya I tayang The Little Misses’ lunch box. Malam ni I tayang The Other Half’s lunch box pulak.

Like I selalu bagitau, he normally has leftovers for lunch or sandwiches. Esok for lunch, he’ll be having rissole, the damper, green salad and corn. Sungguh comel his lunch bila letak dalam this container, heeeee…….

And then, he’ll have another container filled with fruits and a smaller container of his muesli for breakfast. Macam nak pergi berkelah aje, hahaha….

Mynn, mana goreng pisang you. Hehehehe. Ckp pasal pisang, I teringin tul nak makan pisang salai. Lama benou2 tak makan pisang salai. I don't think boleh post ke sini kan. Sbb pisang tu buah.

My new bike is up and running now. Hb siap try lepas dia pasangkan. Now my anak2 tgh ambil turn mengayuh.

Comelnye bekal tu! I selalu tak suka bawak bekal, tapi kalau dapat yang camtu, confirm nak!!!

nyws, hubby i pon mcm u jugak slalu cheat the scales. tapi tak kisah la tu, as long as he is motivated to go on kan. coz i pon bila weigh myself masa tgh pakai jeans/bathrobe rasa cam aaaii... beratnye aku hari ni.. :D

Mulan said...

DeLancrettLurpak said...

I kalau weigh myself, confirm takkan pakai seurat benang pun and mesti after business no 1 every morning.. banyak sikit turunnya, heheheh

Anash said...

blu4sky,
hehehe...takpe, sekali sekala bagus jugak terlajak ni sbb lepas tu kita konon2nya exercise lebih2, hehehe.

Nora,
Hahahaha...I tengok tadi pisang $10/kg, terus terbantut hajat I nak makan goreng pisang :-).
Yeay....go Nora go! Dah sampai mana you kayuh?

Ayu,
Damper tu macam scone sikit rasa dia. I suka buat sbb cepat dah siap, hehehe.

Dinas,
3 orang colleagues dia tanya dia, "Is that your lunchbox in the fridge? It is so cute and yummy looking!" hahaha

Sooyaree,
Kadang2 bila bekal so comel, terus rasa nak bawak bekal hari2 kan, hahaha

A~,
Memang betul pun, kalau bawak bekal sgt lah jimatnya esp with segala benda mahal kat sini. Kalau sehari spend $10 on lunch aje, 5 hari dah $50 kan, boleh I guna buat beli my toys, hahaha.

Afid,
pelanggan kantin I ni kadang2 mcm2 demand diaorang. But sbb I yg buat bekal, terpaksalah diaorang turut aje cakap I, hehehe

KOG,
kalau you buat lunchbox hari2, tak dapatlah we all tengok your review JJCM kat all the gerai and kedai kat M'sia tu :-D

Mieoney,
We all pun makan nasi jugak but bukan hari2 lah. Tapi kalau makan nasi, 1/2 cawan aje, hehehe.

Lisa,
I love cheesy muffins with avocado or sundried tomatoes. So yummy kan! :-)

Zarin,
ok lah kan dia dah start jogging pagi2 dr tidur, hehehe.
My hubby pulak, sampai his colleagues dah malas nak ajak dia keluar lunch sbb memang dia bawak bekal hari2 :-D.

Mulan,
I pun tengok gambar tu siang tadi, terus lapar, hahaha

Putu,
Food kat sini mahal lah jugak and tak kan nak makan fish n seafood hari2 bila keluar makan kan so better bawak dari rumah. Terjamin halal, hehehe

Della,
Hehehe...my recipes mostly recipes guna barang2 yg senang cari kat OZ ni so kalau ada orang M'sia nak try recipe tu, kesian diaorang kena mencari merata for the ingredients :-). Tu yg tak boleh buat recipe book ;-).

Lurpak,
Ha'ah, senang and cepat sgt2 nak buat the potato bread sbb tak pakai yeast kan. rasa dia mcm savoury scones :-).
I pun akan weigh myself tanpa seurat benang and after I've gone to the toilet, hikhikhik

Anash,
Thanks to good lighting, all food nampak tempting ;-)
