Do I really "deserve it"?

A common mistake which many people make is to allow themselves to over indulge after a good workout session. Take me for example. I've just started to be healthy again...and it was really hard to stop my bad binge eating habits :( 🐷😞 (I finished half a pot of cadburys chocolate spread.) On top of a good workout session, I was also eating really healthily...until after dinner!! When I saw the gorgeous pot of chocolate on the table and thought...I can reward myself! And when I started...I just couldn't stop!! The thing is...it's ok to reward yourself now and then...but as I said before, it's all about portion control. It is definitely NOT easy at all. I am slowly trying to cut down, but I'm only human...I'm going to keep trying! 💪💪💪

What motivated me to carry on is the thought that I'm doing something about my problem. I'm actively trying to get healthier...living a longer life so I can see my children grow up.

Overeating when eating out? I don't know about you guys...but I often find that I overeat when I go out for meals...mainly due to several reasons: • I feel bad if I waste the food that I ordered • the dish is expensive and I don't want to waste my money. •feeling the pressure to eat from the people you are eating with If any of you agree with this...read on!! First of all, start by ordering a SMALL amount. Don't be greedy. This is because if you are still hungry, you can always order more. But if you start off with too much, you feel obliged to finish it, and thus you would tend to eat more than needed. Secondly, if you feel bad for wasting, REMEMBER...you can always takeaway. Eat it for your next meal or something. Nowadays restaurants often serve oversized portions. Finally, ignore the pressure from others. If you're not hungry then you DON'T have to force yourself to eat. Hope this post helps motivate you to control yourself the next time you go out! IT'S ALL ABOUT PORTION CONTROL!! 😘

Ending the Tumblr drought

Hey everyone! So I've had a tumblr drought for the past few months and I am really sorry about that...but I'm back!! :D I had started school and this year has been particularly stressful as I've applied to universities this year. As it has been quite stressful I have actually broken my diet and have been TERRIBLY unhealthy recently. (*shameful whisper* "I've gained 3kg 😭) but it is ok...I'm getting my life back on track and by the time summer comes, I'll have a cracking body. Hope y'all can continue to support. 😘

Confession Time:

In my home, we cook ALOT of food…we put it all on the lazy Susan and take as much as we want…and today, I may have had one too many bowls of pasta & almond cookies for dessert 😥😩

I managed to reach all of my aims today except the “don’t watch tv whilst eating". I got distracted and didn’t realise how much I was eating. BUT!! I’m not giving up. Starting again tomorrow. Tomorrow will be successful!! 💪💪

After reading back ^^ I realise I sounded like one of those people who say “Diet starts tomorrow"…urgh hate that. So seriously. You have my word…healthy eating from now on…I promise. 😘 To spare you guys from having to read another post… Update: I ended the night with a one hour cardio workout. Always remember to stretch afterwards!! Night!x

Mid afternoon snack of frozen orange and grapefruit (frozen for approx 2.5-3 hours so that it isn’t too hard and not too soft)…Perfect for summertime!! 🍊

It can be a healthier substitute for ice cream or lollies!!

Had a bowl of delicious homemade prawn mee for lunch today 😋

Did a 5 minute workout and 10 minute inner thigh workout to kick start the day!! :) Everything you do counts towards reaching your final goal.

Here are the links to workouts I did.

     2. POP Pilates: Inner Thigh Insanity (attached above ^^)

If you have time you can always do one of their longer workouts...unfortunately I had work to do. I know...I know...excuses. I'm sorry...i'm a newbie to all of this. But seriously, do try these workouts :D

MY AIMS

So some of these aims may seem trivial...but it is always good to remind yourself of what you should ideally be doing. 

Try to get at least 7-8 hours sleep a night

Know when  you are full...and don't over eat

Drink 8 glasses of water everyday

Don't watch TV or play with laptop whilst eating...you tend to not pay attention to what you are eating and end up eating more

Watch less TV...I find that I often feel more sluggish when watching TV...Try reading a book...or work our whatever.

I actually find these aims difficult...though it may not be for you. I ten to get less than 6 hours of sleep on most nights...and I drink very little water everyday. Sleeping more makes you more energetic the next day...personally, I tend to eat less, feel less sluggish/more happy when I get my 8 hours. 

Before every meal, I am going to drink a glass of water and wait 5 minutes. I am going to do this because often some people mistake thirst for hunger and so eat more. By drinking and waiting, I am allowing my body to figure out how hunger it truly is so that I can judge better the amount of food that I need to eat. For information on the benefits of water, you can go to this site:

(P.S. I didn't mention this in my intro but I am not qualified nutritionist or anything...I am just a teen blogging about her weight loss journey...so don't assume that everything I've written is right. I've probably misinterpreted some of the information which I have read from countless books and blogs. This is just for precautionary reasons, but as an aspiring lawyer, I deny any duty of care if you decide to do what I'm doing and something bad happens)
