Priceless!

Day 14 fell on a Sunday. Last Sunday. I woke up feeling excited. It was almost over. I had done it. I had done IT! Gone without rice and bread for 14 days. Yea! And at the end of the day, when I weighed 4 kgs less than when it all started, I was happy. Now I know I can do whatever I set my mind to. And that feeling? Priceless!

Heart Speak

All I want to do is find a way back into love
I can't make it through without a way back into love

I've been watching but the stars refuse to shine
I've been searching but I just dont see the signs
I know that its out there
There's got to be something for my soul somewhere

I've been looking for someone to shed some light
Not just somebody to get me through the night
I could use some direction, and I'm open to your suggestions

There are moments when I don't know if its real or if anybody feels the way I feel
I need inspiration, not just another negotiation

All I want to do is find a way back into love
I can't make it through without a way back into love and
If I open my heart again I guess
I'm hopin you'll be there for me in the end

(From Way Back Into Love from the movie Music and Lyrics)

The return of the Diet!

Diets. U gotta love em. Or hate them. Me, I've always hated them.

I've tried a couple. The only-drink-this-soychoco-shake-for-all- meals diet. That cabbage soup diet thingy. The Herbal life thingy. After the initial high of losing weight, things go back to normal, so too the pounds.

So why have I embarked on a brand spanking new diet I hear u ask ?

Well, I am tired of thinking that I can't go without rice for 2 days. I I want to prove to everyone and even more myself, that I can be disciplined. That I can resist temptation. That I can stick to a program. That I'm no giver up-er. That's right. I've taken on the 14 day No Carbs, No Sugar, No Fun Diet!

Day 5 proved to be quite historical. I've lost 2 kgs. AND...even bigger than that...I managed to resist every piece of curry puff, pisang goreng, spring roll, doughnut and chocolate cake at the party at work today. Damn good job if I have to say so myself. That is a BIG achievement.

So what happens after Day 14? I will have meat, eggs, and oh yes, vege and fruit. But I will make an effort to cut down as much carbs as I can.

And this time...I will make it! HAAAAA!

Butterflies!

A lot happened last week. New job. Trying to get used to the new environment, new role, new people.

Perhaps this new start has clicked opened Pandora's box. Or maybe it's something else altogether. I feel different. I feel a little strange. It's not necessarily a bad thing. Feels like something has awakened. Like something is happpening. Not sure exactly what, but...something.

Butterflies in the tummy...flies up to the heart...then head, then they do somersaults right back to the tummy. Ever get that feeling? Settle down now butterflies, may Friday come soon.
