The weight verdict
Me : 71.8kg
MrM : 83.3 kg
MrM's diet gone awry. I think it is the rojak and cekodok sayur my maid made.
This is the first time my morning weight broke the 72kg resistance.

- Panaskan oven pada suhu 200C, lenser acuan berukuran 8 inci x 8 inci dengan mentega, alas dengan aluminium foil, biar lebih sedikit dari ukuran tin. Ketepikan.
- Satukan semua bahan2 diatas kecuali bijan, kacau sebati dengan whisk atau masukkan ke dalam alat pengisar makanan. Tapis dan tuang dalam tin tadi.
- Tabur bijan rata2 atasnya dan bakar selama 40 - 50 minit atau hingga masak. Untuk mendapat permukaan yang berkerak, tukar fungsi oven pada api grill dan bakar 5 minit lagi. Sejukkan kueh sebentar sebelum dikeluarkan dari tin.
- Biar kueh betul2 sejuk sebelum dipotong. Untuk yang dalam gambar tu, mat buat malam dan pagi baru mat potong....

Don't worry if the mix is very fluid or soft before baking. It will cook and become like the picture.

I Made This Today - Kuih Pandan Bakar
But I made it anyway. MrM loves this kuih and so do my kids for anything that has screwpine leaves in it.
Will update on my test of discipline at breakfasting tonight and the consequences (if any) of straying.:D
Maintenance Day 12, 13 and 14
Weight verdict : I am now yo-yoing between 72.2 and 71.7kg.
The ultimate I thought was yesterday i.e. Friday when my early morning sahur was just one boiled egg, coffee with lowfat milk and lots and lots of water. For most of the morning at work, I didn't really feel hungry but by the end of the day I was famished. I texted Pyl and Arlin and told them I was hungry!!
Of course, all hell broke loose during breakfasting. I began disciplined enough, one drumstick ayam percik and another piece of chicken baked by my maid. The temptation was just too great with my maid's jemput2 sayur and I succumbed to a good one and a half piece of that. Then there was rojak. While I didn't take the tauhu and the kuih that came along with the rojak, preferring the cucumber and boiled eggs, the rojak sauce was the killer. Laden with sugar I am sure. But then again I also had spinach and a good helping of salad. And plain water for drinks.
My late mother's maid, is good in making tempeyek and she made over the weekend about 10 huge plastic bottles worth of tempeyek kacang. Oh the temptation to munch and munch away! That was my snack before last night before I figured out that all I needed was an apple to satisfy my sweet craving. Not that the tempeyek did the job but I needed to munch on something. The apple was my saviour. After the apple, I didn't feel like eating anymore, ha ha!
Therefore I am pleased to see that I am this morning at 72.2kg, a good 900 kg lighter from my weight at transition. I think I need to be a bit more disciplined with my buka puasa food. With the discipline, I think I should be able to reach 71kg sooner than I thought. And who knows, I may even reach 70kg.
My sahur this morning is one piece of baked chicken, a sip of coffee with milk and water, water, water. So far today I am doing good.
The days before i.e. 12 and 13 were pretty much the same, protein either in the form of rendang ayam with a lot of salad and cucumber. And a tempeyek or two, he he. Oh yes, I had a lot of oranges after breakfasting on Thursday, and that helped the motion bit a lot!
After two weeks of maintenance, I find that if I ate really a lot, like I did at the barbecue buffet dinner at Cyberview Lodge, provided that the food is protein and green veggies, I would put on about 500gms. I have been disciplined in taking the ACV everynight before I go to sleep.
MrM is sufferring from diet fatigue syndrome. He has been taking a bit of carbo, mostly in the form of rojak, and sugar. He tells me his body needs a bit more food compared to mine. I tell him I have reserves from the years of pregnancy and eating as I please. MrM's BMI is now 24.5, a normal range. Mine is still at 27, which means that I needed to lose another 6kg to be at a healthy BMI.
Pyl, if you are reading this, experiment with your maintenance phase. I think you need to allow yourself to eat according to the maintenance protocol and weigh the next day to see the impact and then adjust. That's what I did. I remember Jai saying during lunch at Chinoz that you can even eat a whole chicken if you wanted to. That was the first thing that I wanted to do after transition. Eat a whole chicken. But the barbecue buffet dinner compensated for that, ha ha!

Maintenance Day 10 and 11
I was sick yesterday, a culmination of what was originally just a runny nose that became a full- blown cough and asthma.
Nevertheless, I did go to work, had a conference call on a big matter related to how the strengthening of AUD would impact our project in Australia, forced my already throbbing head to think of what the team there was proposing to preserve project economics, and I was beat. I could not fast yesterday since I still had my period. By 4:45pm,I left office and thank God MrM drove today.
To cut the story short, buka puasa with the family was 2 sticks of satay, and salad with bits of chicken rendang from my father-in-law, and one very fatty slice of lemang. Yeah, I know no carbo but I figured I would rather takeba slice than binge on sebatang lemang. But after that one slice, I didn't feel like having anymore!
My wheezing got worse through the night, and I told MrM that he has to send me to the hospital since this is a full-blown asthma. I have not had asthma for the longest time!!! After a dose of nebulizer and prednisolone, we finally got home at 1am.
This morning, the VERDICT:
MrM yet to find out but as of yesterday evening he was 82kg.
Me : 72.4 kg, a loss of 900gms from yesterday. Even on the diet I have not loss that much. I hope to get to 71 kg by Raya.
