I am not too sure if I am subconsciously doing it or am I just forcing myself. I realised that the past few days, I have been eating less. On top of that, I have been drinking lots of plain water and other healthy things. For example, I bought two cups of yogurt yesterday and finished it in less than 15 minutes, just so it could make me full. I have also been eating smaller proportions, and eating fruits (apples on one occasion, and papayas). The food I eat now is of a healthier choice (at least the healthiest I am able to get my hands on while eating out). I know this is a drastic change to my body and I am quite surprised that I am able to adapt to it. Less junk food has made me less lethargic - maybe it is just psychology :/

My mind's also tuned to do mini work-outs while at home and the dying urge to go for a run is burning. The rain ruined my plan of going for an evening jog but thinking about it, running in the drizzle would be quite an experience. Though the possibility of falling sick is high, I kinda like the idea of the cold breeze passing through me while I'm running. Shall see how later on.

Why am I so health-conscious all of a sudden?
Goal: I wanna weigh at least 5 kilograms less.

National Service is gonna knock on my door somewhere in the last quarter of this year. So all these is to mentally and physically prepare myself. Keeping myself fit now is afterall an investment isn't it? Wouldn't want to be greeted with all sorts of diagnose and sickness in future.

Are YOU gonna kick in those healthy regimes?
Start now.

Cheers!

I was having my lunch in the kitchen when Mom stepped in and started making something. Observing what she was doing, I asked. Apparently, she was making her daily wholesome filled with goodness drink. She tore few pieces of dates into a cup filled with oatmeal and hot water - pretty interesting. It sets me thinking after that. She claimed she will not go hungry fast plus the oatmeal will absorb and lower the cholesterol level.

I am no genius when it comes to healthy living. But somehow, watching the telly everyday, I am greeted with talk shows emphasizing on healthy living. It is a sign! Haha! I am making my stand from this day onwards. Feeling a little inspired after seeing my Mom make her wholesome drink, I will make it a point to have a self-made smoothie each day (or at least till I made the necessary purchases aka ingredients).


From top left hand corner (clockwise): Cornflakes, flax seeds, cocoa powder, honey, dates, oatmeal, banana, mixed berries.

Throw in a handful of ice cubes, the ingredients that complement each other and blend - delicious! The next time Mom heads down to Giant or Mustafa Centre, I am going to ensure that I have the above ingredients to be stored in my fridge or pantry. For now, I will make use of whatever ingredients I have.

Anyway, I figured this would be a great start. Especially when I rarely take my breakfast. Haha! After all, breakfast is the most important meal of the day! Will save up (or get sponsorship from Mom or Dad) to get a flask before school reopens so that if the drink is cold, it will last longer. Apart from healthy living, this will probably help me with saving up.

Saying is one thing. Implementing it is another.
I'll try my best though!

Cheers!
