Rabbit food…another word for salad, as per my co workers. The people in my office still cannot get use to me eating huge salad for lunch everyday…yes everyday. Rarely do they see me eat real food like baked fish or tuna melt (hmmm tuna melt sounds good to me!).
I told them that I do not torture myself to eat salad everyday. It just became a habit for me to eat salad for lunch, so that I can eat real food for dinner. It is also to discipline myself, to ensure that I get enough vegetables everyday. Even my friends like Ayu and Lilac know that I am eating normal…right?
No, I don’t feel that I am skinny yet. No , I have not gone mental yet either and no…I am not an anorexic in denial. I still have at least 10 more stubborn lbs to go before I reach my goal. With the holidays recently, I could admit that I ate carbs that I wasn’t suppose to. Thank goodness with daily 400 calories exercise has managed to make me lose more weight instead of gaining the carbs.
Now that the Florida trip is just around the corner and the wedding will be at the beach resort, all the more I feel that I need to lose even more so that number 1, I could eat more at the wedding and number 2, so that I could slip myself into that bikini...eh no..summer clothes.
I think I have lost that tropical sense of fashion, of not layering myself, but am sure it will slowly come back. The malls here have not gotten their spring collection out yet, so capris and t shirts are not selling yet. But I do have a batik sundress for the tropical weather and the slippers too (Ely doesn’t need help looking for sandals for the beach!).
Then the make up…according to theory, we should change our makeup every 6 months. I am overdue for the change, but just looking for the right time to do so…like now! I know I need a baby blue shadow for the eyes, and more shadow colors. Pink shadow is the in thing now, and don’t forget that green! And then also might need new lipstick colors.
And the list goes on….

Love salad, that is without the dressing. Most dressings here are too vinegary though. Anyway, enjoy your upcoming weekend. ;)
suriyati, there are thousands of dressings here. theres french, vinagrette (my fave), ranch and many others. we have like a full range of dressings in our fridge at times (the kids like variety).
try others especially the fat free or low carb one...they're just as good!
Salad kalau takde dressing, i tak leh telan lak!!!
Well, kak Ely All the best and i know u can do it, loosing that 10lbs more....u go gal!
Sure Ely, sure. Make more excuses to justify going shopping. Alamak ...
Ahhhh, so that's where I've gone wrong! I don't change my makeup every 6 months! I do it in like every 6 years????

Hello kak ely,

mammal, thats why we're twins! i need to update my makeup badly! oh and maybe my clothes hehehe.
hello hazel!!! welcome to my humble blog ;). i have been on this diet called the South Beach Diet. No carbs and sugar first 2 weeks and then reintroduce good carbs after that until u reach ur weight goal. u need to buy the South Beach Diet Book in order to follow it...intense brainwashing required. if u dont have the strong will, u wont be able to do it. i shall visit ur blog soon.
way to go kak ely dear! salad is good.. i think i should start makan sayur byk jugak la..in need of that.
make up? same-o style since... forever? boleh ke?..hahahaa!
take care ~ hugs!!
Ely! That's what I've been doing too!! Ever since I join this Rosemary Conley program, I've been eating healthily and more salads at work... You do tend to get so used to eating salads everyday that one day without it is just so incomplete... They say we need 5-8 portions of vegetables and fruits a day so you're doing right for having salad during lunch time. And just to share this with you, when you buy products like yogurt or cheese of can of baked beans, noodles, rice etc or anything, make sure you look at the fat content. Anything that's less than 5g per 100g is considered healthy but anything more than 55 per 100g, you've got to stay away from it!!! Alhamdulillah, each week I manage to lose 2-3 pounds but just doing that and also eat small portions and exercise. Whenever you feel hungry around 3pm like that, have a piece of fruit or a Rye biscuit... Just thought sharing with you what I learn...
Cool guestbook, interesting information... Keep it UP
