How on earth did this happen??!??!??!!!

 


Lets backtrack. In Form 2 I was tall and plump. Then my mum bought this electric weighing scale which had a sensitivity of 0.1 kg.  It could measure your body fat and everything! (now I know that reading is  NOT very accurate coz it's an unsuitable way to measure body fat) Then mum made us all weigh ourselves. Marc first. Stuuuuup was skinny and underweight and had body fat of 4% or something. SUUUPER LOW! Then my turn. MALU  freaking GiLER! SOOO heavy and body fat of like what...21 %!  Then I went crazy and went on this super health spree!



I  thought -hey,what better time to go vegetarian than now since I had ALREADY been thinking about it for some time-


Then I took up running thanks to Sam Murphy's book. "Run for life" AWESOME MUCH!!! Took off my "running career" =D

Last but not least I watched what I ate like crazy. I counted calories at every meal and mentally calculated how I could work off every snack I ate. Snack meaning "water biscuits"(biskut tawar I think they're called), "a slice of plain bread, or a banana. I lost 10 kg by Form 3 helping me win the school cross country and it also helped me achieve whatever success I enjoyed in track events:-)














Then in Form 4 The low cal diet began to become too stressful to maintain with the added burden of new subjects in school combined with my laziness to train which continued into form 5 which marked my worst year in athletics. With the stress of SPM I stopped jogging in the evenings altogether since April to either sleep in, attend tuition and towards the end of the year, to study.

That lead to my current situation of tipping the scales at 60++ kgs. From someone who used to be 55kg it feels awful. Trying on clothes I used to be able to wear in form 4 which now can't even be pulled up to my waist. I kid you not.


So I've started logging in my food intake on http://www.sparkteens.com/ which is this GREAT website which is full of articles and applications to help you with either your weight loss goals or goals to become more healthy, toned... whatever...you get the picture. 

So as of today I have sucessfully lost 0.7kg coz I started exercising and eating properly again. No snacking and eating only enough food so that I'm not hungry anymore. (NOT till I'm FULL) I think it's pretty good for 4days....I WILL lose all 10kgs before a wedding I'm going to attend in Singapore in June:-) 

well I'm off to go cycle now... adieus:-)  
Cycling 10-11.9 mph (bicycling, biking, bike riding), 30 minutes, Burnt: 188 calories. (equivalent to TWO BANANAS)
