Lemon Diet (Edited) - Day 6

This morning I had a simple breakfast, really simple as it can be prepared less than 5mins.

Soya milk + fruits salad.

But then throughout the noon, I had slight diarrhea. Maybe this is not good for me to have it in the morning.

However, dragon fruit is still my 5★ favorite healthy fruits with high fiber and helps in digestion, most importantly helps in weight loss. Body feel cleansed tho and I had some medicine.

I visited petpetkia today, so I had even simpler lunch there.

Some almond raisins, a cloud 9 & HL milk. This is probably like snack before lunch? In the original menu, I should have grill fish/ chicken.

+petpetkia chen thanks for the watermelon, the sweetness gave some energy. Also, the movies....to be continue watching again since I was rushing back.

During late noon, I thought I would want to eat some proper food like carbo but my appetite was so so. Then, I had something simple still...... (sharing basis)

Steam cake with gula Melaka, steam bread and black coffee.

Dinner - Mixed vegetables soup with chicken.

Tips:
- Read lots of benefits for broccoli but it is also one that will cause gas/ wind, so I added ginger into the soup. Ginger is always said by Chinese it can reduce gas/ wind.

- Besides pinch of salt and pepper, added few drops of soy sauce, it adds flavor to the soup.

I enjoyed the broccoli soup, think gonna cook it again. :)

Lemon Diet (Edited) - Day 5

This Sunday's principle is try my best not to let Sunday ruin the plan.

Breakfast - Cornflakes with raisin & almond nuts in soya milk. Warm lemon water.

Went out for movie (Transformers), movie is quite good 3.5★. It was a 3 hours movie, I drank a tin of wonda premium coffee latte. One comment about this movie is it doesn't really a theme song that interests me.

After movie, it was 2:30pm. Went Old Town for meal.

Lunch - 2 to 3 bites of Ipoh Hor Fun with some vegetables and a cup of iced lemon tea.

Went to mum's house today My tummy felt empty as I ate too
little just now. So, I just dig around and see what I've got, some pineapples with crackers. I also added apple vinegar and plum powder into it. O sourness......

Dinner was a big meal, steamed fish, roast duck, stir fried vegetables, claypot tofu and clam soup. 

Venue: Yee Sang Fatt Restaurant, Air Panas Setapak.

As usual, I only ate a very small portion of each dish except a lot of vegetables, NO rice. Just giving it a snapshot as it's too painful! Fattening and regret... :P. Of course, it's too delicious to be forgotten.

I didn't really compare the meals against the original plan as it's out of the way.

At the end of today, the most important principle for me is food does not exceed 1200cal.

Fight again tomorrow!

Lemon Diet (Edited) - Day 3

I worked out a little yesterday, too tired and fell asleep......

Yesterday was day 3, I did major change on breakfast as I felt to have asian breakfast, postponed the original breakfast menu to lunch.

4 cups of lemon water in a day.

Breakfast - Chee cheong fun with some fish cakes, tofu and fish balls + coffee

Lunch - 1 slice wholemeal bread, scrambled egg whites with tomato.Yummy!♥

Tips: I choose egg white as it's healthier, less cholesterol and less calories.

I didn't have snack yesterday, made buttered corns with Jer. He loved it!

We enjoyed the mixing and shaking of corns with butter and salt.

Dinner - A bowl of dumplings soup and broccoli corn with lemon juice.

It should be broccoli corn pasta. I didn't put pasta, replaced it with the dumplings soup. For my family members, they enjoyed the dumplings mee.

I had a good sleep. Fortunately I am still in good mind condition, not starving until dream of food. haha :)

Lemon Diet (Edited) - Day 2

Today is day 2 of my lemon diet.  I feel myself almost like a herbivore, never ending munching greens. meh~~ meh~~~:¤

Breakfast - a cup of warm lemon water, buttered wholemeal bread, some dried cranberries and mango soya smoothies.

I changed banana to mango; raisins to cranberries.

Tips: cranberries are very good for health with vitamins and fiber, see here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dried_cranberry 

Lunch - Red cabbage salad with lettuce, cucumber, cherry tomatoes and some pasta (with lemon squeezes).

There's jacket potato in the menu but I don't feel like eating potato today. So I added some pasta in the salad. Ratio is 9:1. 90% vege, 10% pasta.

It's quite a big bowl of salad, which I can keep on munching and munching while watching drama. Very good facial exercise.

Tea - coffee and some biscuits.

Dinner - 4 spoonfuls of rice, stir fried vegetables with little fish cakes +prawns (added lemon juice), baked beans.

p/s: original menu should be no meat tho, but I calculated the calories, luckily it's still ok.

This is the best meal of the day! Feel so lucky to have it! Haha, feel touched when I am eating......not dramatic, but emotional. After the emotions spread, still munching and munching exercise throughout the meal.

I can see the menu of the next few days have more choices of food.

Looking forward......

Happy happy, 1 day gone......

Yesterday was a very happy day until I felt that time past without notice.

Happy brunch - went out with petpetkia, very happy that she came and we went to Full House  for a good brunch. 

Had pumpkin soup, chicken chop and iced lemon tea

It was a heavy brunch, stomach was feeling full although after walking for groceries shopping.

Happy tea time at my house - Royale raisin ice cream for us. I like waffle chips to eat with it.

The ice cream just melted so fast, as fast as the happy time past.

As usual, we chit chat, talked about trips, diet, beauty, pin up party and did facial together.

With winks of eyes, it's time to fetch jer. So she left. Went to mamak with jer and had teh O ais limau.

Happy dinner - I realised I still have a pumpkin, why not make some soup? hehe, then I cooked dinner ala ala the brunch menu.

Pumpkin soup, Teriyaki chicken breast+mashed potatoes+grilled mixed fungis

Tasty, stuffed, satisfied! :) The part that I was happiest was cooking and preparation for few hours burned 500cal. Bravo!

Complimented dinner with a cup of lemon water, I have completed my lemon drinks day, hehe. No coffee today. 

I am interested into lose weight in 7 days with lemon diet. Check this out: http://www.venusbuzz.com/archives/18885/lose-weight-in-7-days-with-lemon-diet/. The diet menu looks quite simple. :)

After relaxed for a while, I felt so tired. It was a happy busy day!

A Tummy Full House Day!

Why am I saying today is a tummy full house day? Coz it never feel hungry today, not a second. hehe.

Morning was bright, morning was beautiful. :) I met petpetkia for breakfast, had a "good looking" claypot lou shu fun + teh C ais. Taste was OK.

Noon we went for a walk, yamcha at Espressolab Jalan Ampang, the iced caramel machiatto was good, not too sweet. Caffeine was what I needed since I only slept 3 hours last night. 

And I forgot my lunch! So I gotta get some snacks, fast food is not for me, but I did picked up some "fast food", few pieces of sushi. It was unexpectedly yummy! 

Last night my mood got stirred up and down. I thought today the cloudy day will continue. Luckily, I have a friend, a friend with a pan. haha, just kidding. I am still enjoying the day. Enjoyed the chatting and laughing.

For dinner, I even gave myself day end bonus.
Home cooked bak kut teh + rice, very important with the chili padi & garlic, yeah!

Enjoying the night, relaxing and listening to one of my favorite KDrama songs.

The Taste of Childhood

Today, I went out with mum for a couple hours of shopping. It was too rush in the morning, hence I didn't have time for breakfast.

I thought it was good that this will reduce my calories intake today but it was not. Today, I am over, over, over!

We passed by a shop, which attracted my attention, which I thought it is a new eatery shop. But mum told me this is the shop that sells pig organs soup, which we used to visit 20+ year back. That time, we were staying in a rented wooden house, simple and happy family. :)

I still can remember clearly those day during my childhood, I used to follow my papa (my father) several times a week to visit the stall for the taste of rice and soup. Now, it is open in a shop (永成记猪杂汤饭), run by the uncle's children.

Today, I ordered the porridge for my lunch, still taste the same, tastes like my childhood time's memory. 

We also ate the asam vegetables, the taste was just ordinary and I think it's not in the menu of the old days. Not as good as having a cup of kopi O ice.

After a walk, I ate some toasts with my 2nd booster, hazelnut white coffee.

During the preparation of dinner, I felt so much from my childhood lunch, so I want to cook a delicious dinner to my loved ones, especially my little Jer. I hope he will remember my good food too.

What is more simple than a bowl of fried rice with love? One of my good recipes tho. 

I think I will come to immune and resist to "beautiful" food at one point during diet. However, I wasn't able to, when I looked and smelled the fragrance from these rice. I stole few bites as appetizer. Hehe.

Here comes my main course of the evening, I guess you may want to try it too. :) The pork fries definitely add stars to this dish.

OK, end of the day. Back to now......focus and continue my diet hobby tomorrow. 

Good night!

Forgot Day No? of My Diet Diary

I think I have started to go on diet plan days ago, may be a week? or more than that......

Well, I am happy that my diet is still under control except some weekend eating bonanza :)

I always pay more attention on Monday's diet menu as I believe a good starting on Monday will make the whole week beautiful.

This morning, I had my own home sweet home breakfast.

Butter oatmeal breads, some refreshing cucumbers and tomatoes slices with grilled mushroom + onion. Paired with a cup of 0% fat yogurt drink. 

Too much? Not really, I was preparing myself for a walk. Hehe.

A walk was to groceries shopping in this sense, and shopping was done within 2 hours with my groceries kaki in NSK. I must say that seeing colors in the morning will brighten the day. Mood was good too.

During lunch, I had chance to taste this delicious typical Thai style spicy fish lettuce wrap with noodles, prepared by Aunt Chen, how lucky! I was told that the name of it in Thai is "miao badu".

Own recipe chili sauce + fish + noodles + fresh parsley, wrapped with super fresh lettuce. 

Wow! After eating, the freshness and fish's taste was lingering in my mouth, I am gonna miss it!

Dinner is always my hopeful meal with highest calories. I wrap up the night with all of my favorite dishes.

Stir fried mixed veggies, tofu soup with mixed ingredients and sardine in tomatoes.

Today, I watched the movie "Sex and the City 2" as recommended by petpetkia, it is a good movie, in my favorite list now. :). Just can't resist to it's scenes of luxury, fashion, travel, friendship....the story line is good too.

It started with my favorite song "Empire State of Mind" by JayZ & Alicia Keys, totally attracted me from the beginning.

It is then the hotel in the girls' trip in this movie that made me "wow"! Love it so much! Then, I went to search for it and came to know that the shoot was taken place in Morocco. Then hotel name is Taj Palace Marrakech, superb hotel that I would want to put in the "to go" list. 

Abu Dhabi; Morocco... I'll travel to you in my dream......

Tosbeheena ‘ala khair تصبح/ تصبحين على خير

Good night!

Colorful Monday!

Oh No! I have deleted my colorful Monday! App problem? Blogger problem? Definitely it's me! I pressed "delete"..OMG!

OK, calm down. I'll just repost. Yesterday was a day to remind myself, I failed the diet plan of the day.hehe. But I spent another good noon with my diet friend, petpetkia, very good mouth exercises (chatting). :)

Here, are you ready for the colors? 

Enjoy~
