R2 Day 3 VLCD

Morning weight 71.6kg

Loss of 600gms, Alhamdulillah.

I should lose considering dinner yesterday was an apple and grissini.

And the usual dose of ACV.

And small bites of chicken eaten with Harith.

Perhaps the right word is shreds of chicken.

So many open houses this weekend, sigh!

R2 Day 2 VLCD

Morning weigh in 72.2kg

Weight loss 1.5kg.

But that is to be expected. Dinner was shrimp and cabbage tom yam soup. I had an orange and a grissini. Due to lack of preparation as well as being busy with work, I only took an apple for lunch yesterday. Which makes my calorie intake less than 500.

I drank lots of water, though. Which is required when you are eating mostly protein. Today I brought lunch from home. White tilapia grilled and steamed spinach. Yes, back at this again. So let's hope for some meaningful weight loss numbers tomorrow!

R2 VLCD Day 1

My starting post loading weight 73.7kg

Took the first HcG pellets at about 5:15am, after having difficulty sleeping with Harith tossing and turning.

Drank some water in the morning and now having a large no sugar Amex while attending a meeting.

I am updating my blog from blogsy, an iPad app that allows you to update your blog and upload photos so easily.

I thought I'd just describe my mental state starting R2.

Jai was right, after surviving R1, I don't feel deprived as I was, at least during the first week of R1. I don't have cravings for Nescafe Tarik or sugar, be it in the form of cookies or rice. R2 just felt natural. I hope this is a good sign of R2. And my sustainability to get to my target weight.

73.7kg to 63.7kg, brings the target weight loss to be a whopping 10kg!!!

All the best to myself!

Kuih jemput sepinggan
A pear

Lunch
Three pieces of baked chicken with brown rice
Salad and cucumber
Plain water
A handful of chocolate chip cookeies

Another round of Nescafe with guests
One cookie and one

Dinner

I am up to my neck feeling so guilty eating so much food. I hope this loading helps me in VLCD phase. My journey to 64kg begins tomorrow, God willing.

Round 2 Day 1 Loading

How is that loading the 2nd round is not fun? I decided to start R2 today, partly due to the need to start eating healthy again, partly because my journey to 64/65kg seems so long, and definitely because of the 1+ kg that I have put on since the endnof Ramadhan.

Breakfast was a three egg omelette with onions and leftover kuey teow from yesterday's gathering. Had a juicy pear and Nescafe Tarik right after that. Lunch was at my nephew's open house and what a feast. Gulai daging salai lemak cili api, sambal udang petai, ayam goreng berempah, ikan bilis goreng berlada with potatoes (sliced) and kuih keria to top it off.....I had two rounds of rice, God knows how many kuih keria I walloped, another cup of Nescafe, a bite of kuih Raya here and there (okay there were definitely more than just a bite).

Dinner was nasi goreng kerabu with telur mata kerbau, udang tepung and teh tarik.

Oh and two oranges before that.

I feel sick with eating. And tomorrow is Day 2 Loading again.....

But stick to this protocol I must. This time around I plan to stick to this for as long as it takes to get to my target weight. Actually the minute I started popping those HcG pellets into my mouth this morning, I am automatically on diet mode. Starting to be conscious of what I eat again.

My weight this morning was 72.7kg, a hefty weight gain of 1.8kg since the third day of Raya.

A weight gain of 800gms since last week!!

Therefore I am declaring this war again with me, myself and I. The war of self-discipline and willpower.

MrM is not with me this time in R2. Let the trial begin.....

2nd and 3rd Day Raya

Morning weight 70.9kg on morning of 2nd Raya.

I was surprised myself. But apart from the sugar laden drinks, I am still refraining from any ketupat and lemang but the chicken rendang, ayam kampung masak lemak cili api, and daging rendang were my greatest sabotageur to my diet. If one can call this a diet at this stage.

3rd Day Raya morning weight 71kg. Slowly creeping up!

My time of the month is finally here. Came 2nd Raya and I just needed to eat to have energy. At this age, I have stomach cramps.

I think there was a lot of eating damage after Raya at two houses today, the parents' home of friends from primary school. Let's see what the damage will be tomorrow.

Aaarghhh!!!

Food and food everywhere!!

Salam Aidil Fitri to all and Maaf Zahir Batin.

My morning weight 71.4kg.

I have been disciplined, resisting my favorite ketupat and focusing on protein, albeit laden with coconut milk and kerisik. And oh did I mention them choc chip cookies again?

I am now at my FIL's in Muar and took two pieces of lemang only. And oh did I mention three pieces of sugar laden kuih goyang?

I started the day with ACV hoping that will speed up the conversion of the food today into energy.

Oh I hope I am not 72kg tomorrow......
