confused body

yeup... i am not sure, who is getting confused now... me or my body? :p my weight has been like a yo-yo... and for the past 2 days, i tried to NOT eat rice although my PT is against it. but for the weekend, i ate rice like once a day. why? because my weight has been up and down..

today, i went for my aerobics. i have not done any exercises for 2 weeks straight after my injury. so i am starting again today. had a very bad migraine since afternoon and till now.. :(

last i weigh myself was last thursday, 54.8kg. hmmm...

muscle strain

i am put at rest by the doctor - no weight lifting for awhile. not an excuse but it is the reality. i have issues on my left side of my body.. and somehow the doctor said it was probably muscle strain coz it is kinda swelling? i am getting bored not going to the gym and the worst part, i could get lazy. but anyhow, yeahh i do miss my gym session. 

what is the best cure for muscle strain? mine is on the left side.

frustrated

why? because i failed in managing my diet... somehow i have been eating wrong! :( and yesterday i measured my thigh... it was 23 inches!! how can i reduce it to 20 inches??? i am so fat :( 

my first try out 6 meals a day

seriously? i get tired of munching.. do you know why i don't really put on weight? because i don't eat snacks between meals... i mean, i don't take junks. even my regular meals, when i get tired, i will stop eating. and not necessarily i am full :p so here was yesterday's meals.

meal 1: instant quaker oats + teh tarik :p hehehe
meal 2: oats crackers + water
meal 3: half club sandwich with eggs & chicken slice + latte
meal 4: 1/4 portion of chicken sandwich
meal 5: protein shake
meal 6: maggie mee + eggs! heheheeh :D spoiler? :p

workout?
was supposed to have zumba but there was a miscomm, instructor did not turn up.

my left side nerve problem

i have this problem on my left side of my body... sometime last year, i almost had to cancel my participation in the netball tournament because i could not grip the ball with my left hand. there is something, somewhere on my back which i do not know how to explain. anyway my last workout on saturday was for upper body. was really excited on the workout session. but sadly after a few times with the weight, my left arm became numb. seriously i don't know what to do... and it affected the strength of my right arm too for a heavier weight :( 

and now reading these:

http://askville.amazon.com/arm-numbness-caused-poor-circulation-nerve-issue/AnswerViewer.do?requestId=29203147

it is not only the hand... but somehow on my back as well?

i am starting to have the L symptoms... pleasee.... i need more motivation... i think i am being neglected by my PT :"(

erkkss

have missed workout since sunday!! why? because my PT is not well.. yeahh yeahh... blame it on the PT, can't i just do it myself? eermmm... should be but, 'another excuse' is the office gym will be closed soon and for me to go to the hardcore gym, i need my PT to be around because i am shy... hehehe :D :p 

how's my meal plan? hmmm tryingg... okay... tryingg... 

approved food list from jamie eason

Think of these food lists as general guides to what you should include in your diet. The lists include examples of what can be included, but are certainly not complete lists. If you have a healthy alternative that's not here, give it a try.

You don't have to include everything in your diet either. Pick and choose what fits best for you according to taste, cost and availability. Preferences change from person to person, so choose what tastes best to you.

If you like what you eat, you'll enjoy the meal plan and stick to it.

• Eat first meal within an hour of waking.
• Plan ahead! Designate a food preparation day.
• Measure and weigh everything whenever possible. Purchase measuring cups and a kitchen scale.
• Eat every three hours (usually 5 or 6 times a day, depending on when you wake up)! It's the secret to speeding up your metabolism. Be on time!
• Drink lots of water! May have coffee & tea with Stevia or a no-cal sweetener.
• Take a daily multivitamin. If lifting weights, you might consider taking an additional calcium supplement.
• Take one tablespoon of Flaxseed or Fish Oil daily. Flaxseed and fish oil actually aid in weight loss and encourages healthy bowel movements. (Mix in oatmeal or mashed sweet potato after heating food. Do not heat flaxseed.)
• Consistency is key! If you have a day where you slip up … Don't give up! Start fresh at your next meal or the next day. You can do it!

how to lose fat?

10 Things You Can Do To Lose Fat Without Even Trying By Nick Nilsson

Fat loss doesn't have to be painful. Try these simple tips and you'll see just how easy it can be. 

1. Eat smaller more frequent meals - not only is your metabolism boosted every time you eat something, your body can more efficiently process smaller meals. Instead of having 3 large meals in a day, try to break them up into 5 or 6 smaller meals.
2. Drink more water - regular water intake helps to flush away waste prod
3. Be inefficient - do you need to go to the kitchen to get a couple of things? Break it up into to two trips even if you can do it in one. Being inefficient like this can easily double your activity level, burning calories without even trying.
4. Eat more protein - sources of protein include foods such as chicken, fish, eggs, dairy, beans, lean red meats, etc. Your body burns more calories processing protein than either carbohydrates or fats. Protein also helps to support your muscle tissue, which burns calories all day long!
5. Take the stairs instead of the elevator - any time you can add in a little more physical activity, do it. This doesn't mean you need to slog up 20 flights of stairs. Even a flight or two done regularly will add up.
6. Don't let yourself get hungry - when you get hungry you will have a much greater tendency to overeat when you do finally get something to eat. As well, because your body is starting to go into starvation mode, it will be much more likely to hold onto whatever you give it.
7. Order small portions at restaurants - it's tough to order small french fries when "supersizing" your order is such a great "value." Take note, however, your real savings will occur in the calories that don't end up on your backside.
8. Eat more fiber - fiber is very filling. By eating more fiber you will find yourself full sooner. This feeling of fullness will last a long time as well.
9. Wait 20 minutes between servings - your brain takes at least 20 minutes to register that you're full. By waiting that long, you'll give your brain a chance to realize that you don't really need any more food.
10. Cheat on your diet - one thing I always make my clients promise is that they will cheat on their diet. The only thing I ask that they do is to cheat ONLY when they have planned to cheat. By planning when you are going to eat the foods you crave, you take back control of your eating habits.

This way you no longer "give in" to your cravings. You "reward yourself" for sticking to proper nutritional habits. Do this once or wice a week and you will feel far more in control of your eating.

In conclusion, if you follow even a few of these 10 easy tips in the long term, you will certainly notice a difference in your overall weight and health.
