Update

July 20

So it's been around 10 days of controlled eating and working out, although there is no significant weight loss, BUT, I have realized that the cellulites on my thighs are less obvious and I MEAN IT!
I was checking out the back of my legs (smth I always do because I'm just conscious of how people see my legs while I'm standing) and found that hey! No more obvious cellulites!
Another thing is when I climb up/down the stairs, my stupid flabby thighs don't 'shake' as much as they used to.

These little results will keep you going. (at least for me)
Because I want to see even better results, and I start to wonder what it's like if it's near my goal!
And when that happens I'll start working harder because I want to see results FASTER!

Now, if only my stretch marks could just disappear too.

Workout Routine

My workout routine :


**Warm up stretch** 
30 seconds knee high jogging on the spot
10 second rest
20 second knee high jogging on the spot
20 leg swings per leg front to back
20 leg swings per leg left to right
10 seconds rest
30 seconds wall squat
10 seconds rest
30 seconds wall sqaut
10 seconds rest
20 side lying leg lift per leg (cross over)
10 seconds rest
20 jumping jacks (1 jump arms raised half + 1 jump arms raised above head = 1 jumping jack) 
20 leg raise
10 seconds rest
20 side lying leg lift per leg
30 seconds rest
10 prisoner squats
10 hip circles clockwise
10 hip circles anti clockwise
**cool down**

I'll usually do this workout 3 days a week(on days I'm not swimming), with 2 days of swimming. The remaining 2 days I will be walking around my neighbourhood for 30~40mins.

I have decided to keep track of my daily calorie intake, hence I will be writing down what I eat till I hit my goal. Everyday is accompanied by workout.

so I have lost 2~3 kg from taking duromine,
and I have finished a box.
because my weight was different when weighing in the hospital than at home,
so I'm not really sure how much i really lost till I go to the hospital again!

Anyway, I have just started to eat healthy,
and am gonna exercise with a buddy (swimming) once she gets her costume 2 days a week.
Am still looking for a weekend buddy.~~

I've been following and looking at alot of thinspo,
and I'm truly inspired.
Moreover, that important person in my life seemed to have found somebody,
so I'm more then determined to just slim down and show him what he missed.

Something I must tell all of you, I am losing the fats, not necessarily weight.
Read this article : http://ezinearticles.com/?Exercise-to-Lose-Fat,-Not-Weight&id=276680

When I was younger, I remember spending around 1/2-1 hour just walking round and round my neighbourhood, and I noticed I lost around 1kg for a month.
Same results when I brisk walked from my previous college to the third busstop everyday for a month. Even though it was just a mere 10~15min walk, I did also lose 1kg because I brisk walked.

I will be starting the walks again with my current eating habits and also swimming 2 times a week.
"Studies show that you can lose more calories by performing moderate exercise daily than by intensively exercising three times a week. Keep that in mind if your long-term goal includes steady but gradual weight loss." 

Here's how I've been eating (and will be continuing till I get the results I want):
Breakfast:
1 green apple w/skin - 77 calories
1 bunch of grapes(around 20) - 70 calories
1 cup of horlicks LITE in plain water(optional) - 120 calories
You can have skim milk too.
**Alternate the fruits: 
Strawberries(Driscoll's)(8pcs) - 45 calories/ 6per berry
1 Medium red apple - 80 calories
1 Asian round pear (the brown round ones) - 51~100 calories(depending on size)
1 Blushing pear - 130 calories
1 normal green pear - 96 calories
1 normal sized banana - 105 calories

CALORIES CONSUMED : 150~270 calories

Lunch:
(the time I sin because I eat with my colleagues)
So I'll basically eat anything that is lower in calorie or not finish my portion.
**Hint: You'll feel fuller if you chew slower/ chew at least 30~40 times before swallowing every bite

CALORIES CONSUMED : 300~600 calories

Dinner: 
Tau huey in syrup (mr bean soy beancurd) - 106 calories

CALORIES CONSUMED : 106 calories

Throughout the day: 
Green tea (around 3 cups) - 15 calories
Mineral water - 0 calorie

TOTAL AMOUNT OF CALORIES IN A DAY :  571~990 calories

Disclaimer: I'm not saying this is a healthy and balanced diet, but this is how my usual routine is like, of course they are exceptional days when I have sumptuous dinner with my friends (i.e steamboat buffet, indian food, thai food etc) And I'm really glad I have friends who are also in the same journey as me and we keep each other going. (but we all have different ways of eating)

Duromine 15mg

Went to the doctor the other day, and he prescribe Duromine 15mg for me.

It's an appetite suppressant.

Doctor said I should be able to lose 5kg in 2 months.

I went to google up this medication and read alot of nasty side effects.

I'm sure it is different for everyone, and that for 15mg, it shouldn't be that bad.

So far today is my first day taking the pills,

and, urm, I don't know, I still felt abit hungry but I stopped snacking after meals.

(i have this very bad habit :X)

I dont feel nauseous, no rapid heart beats, no headache etc..

So I will update once again after a month of taking the pills! (:

(yes I'm taking this together with my sato products.)

sato hakubi white c & sato hakubi collagen drink

So I've recently started on Sato's skincare range,

which is the Sato Hakubi White C and also the Hakubi drink which contains 5000mg of collagen.

I am currently taking the pills everyday, and the drink every 2 days.

There was a promotion at watsons where these 2 came togethere for only $59.90.

(not sure if it's still available!)

Will update on the results after a month! (:

*fingers crossed*

Slimspa Professional Advanced

Alright sorry for the long hiatus but i'm back!
So i've been getting some questions, on if the AFC lipodown worked?


My answer is - NO.
yup that's right. But that shouldn't stop you from trying too, because results vary on different people and lipodown is more of something to be taken for a longer period of time with of course, some exercise here and there.
I only had a bottle and my results weren't exactly that fantastic. :/
And because it was too expensive, I decided to stop after one bottle.

After that AFC lipodown, iI went on to try Slimspa because they were having this 1 for 1 promotion back then, not sure if it's still on.


But anyway, you are supposed to take the pills half hour before any meal with a full glass of water.
I'm not sure if it was just me or anything, but when I took them, and if it was over that 30 mins, I start to feel really really giddy.
But after some food, I felt better.
It was a horrible feeling, and I don't know how I could even take the taste of the pill and finished 1 box. It's some herbal taste (like 24 flavours bitter herbal tea). At first it was tolerable but after that, I would just feel like puking whenever I took them.

I still have 24 tablets left, anyone who is interested in trying can just drop me an email @ slim.down.noww@gmail.com

As for the results, they did help a little, nothing significant considering I stopped due to the herbal taste. I would say it's better than AFC lipodown in a way. (:
(oh and cheaper too)

Hope that cleared any doubts!
Anymore questions? Email me!

(p.s I'm still fat?!)
