~ household chores = exercise = burning calories ~

yup... betul.. doing household chores can also 

burn calories.. contohnya..

1) carrying out trash, dusting, straightening up 

changing linen = 175 calories per hour

2) wash car, wash windows = 210 calories 

per hour

3) food shopping with or w/out trolley

= 161 calories per hour

4) ironing = 161 calories per hour

5) mopping = 245 calories per hour

6) scrubbing bathroom = 266 calories per hour

7) vacuuming = 245 calories per hour 

8) washing dishes, clearing dishes from table

(walking) = 175 calories per hour

9) watering plants = 175 calories per hour

10) playing with children (walk/run) = 

280 calories per hour

all these is assuming weight is 70kg.. so 

if we're lighter than tat, burn more calories kut?

tak sure sgt. tp yg pasti mmg burn la kan.. 

~ nearly 30 days ~

it has been nearly 30 days since my last blog..

remember i mentioned my weight was 52kg?

so after nearly a month of controlling my diet

and some exercises, i managed to lose only

2.5kg..

sighhhh sikitnyerrrrr.. rasa geram pun ada gak..

rasa sedih pun ada gak.. but then, a doctor told

me how much weight we lose is not important..

yg penting, nmpk kurus ke tak..

i guess d small amount of weight loss is also due

to the exercise.. becoz when we exercise, we'll

gain muscle weight.. tats y sometimes bila timbang

mcm tak lose byk tp kita tau la bdn kita kan, nmpk

beza dulu n skang byk..

as a result, i can now wear jeans size 26 (levi's)..

and baju2 i semua da tak sendat n da x nmpk cam

sarung nangka da.. perut pun da turun byk sgt..

doublechin pun da takde.. tp kalau pki tudung tu

biasa la nmpk ckit kan..

overall, in terms of inches loss, m sure i've lost

quite a lot.. tp masalahnyer b4 dieting program i ni,

i forgot to measure myself hehe..

~ effort ~

to start dieting or exercising takes a lot of effort..

we can tell ourselves we wanna do it, we wanna

diet, we wanna exercise, etc..

but if we dont get ourselves up and actually 

taking tat step, we'll never be able to do it..

it will always be something that we think 

we can do later..

and sometimes, by the time we get around it,

it is already too late..

so my trip to mr scale had a huge impact on me..

i felt like i got hit by a 52 feet lorry..

or a 52 tonne stone fell on top of me..

or i fell out of a 52 storey building..

y 52? tat's my weight.. 52kg..

giler depressing..

immediately, i have the willpower to start..

thing is, i used to watch wat i eat, and 

exercise regularly.. 

however, circumstances changed my

healty lifestyle.. so unfortunately,

my body expanded.. hihihi..

and bcoz of tat too, sometimes i 

became so depressed to d point of 

not wanting to go out because then tat

means i have to meet ppl.. and some of them 

will juz make my depression worst by

saying m pregnant, gemuk, bulat, etc..

and to find something tat fits or looks 

well on me is another problem..

it can be really depressing.

even if my husband says m not fat..

or tat i look fine. m still not happy..

thus, i have to lose weight. not for him..

but for myself..

so it has been 3 days.. and for the last

3 days, i managed to exercise everyday

targeting to burn minimum of

150kcal everyday.. on top of tat, i 

havent eaten anything fattening.. 

i hope i can lose at least 5kg..

but my goal is to lose maximum 7-8 kg..

wish me luck! :)
