Life, As It Goes

I just had a very hectic weekend. I was working last Saturday and it was one heck of a busy day. Arrived at 1030am and only managed to relax at 330pm, which is when my shift ended. Penat tak terkata. Balik tu I promised Mak to show her my studio and have dinner at Cibiuk. Later that night I have to whipped up some pumpkin soup for the potluck next day. All in all, busy day. So tired.


Yesterday I had my girlfriends came over sort of officiating my studio la. The fact that the space was limited was quite ideal so everyone had to gather at just one place. Makes catching up things a lot easier kalau buat rumah besar nanti sikit kat sana sikit kat sini cerita-cerita. Yang paling banyak kena catch up things is aku lah because they seem to share everything at the other group - group mak mak. So aku yang tak layak masuk ni kena la dengar berita terkini from this small gathering - yang berapa bulan pregnant, yang warded, yang itu yang ini. Sometimes I just want to ask them to just share whatever updates in our group since like  major of us are mak-mak already but come to think of it, biarkan je la. Maybe they are comfortable that way. Slowly slowly I'm instilling a fuck it off attitude inside me. Dah tua-tua ni apa yang tau, tau la. Aku pun malas nak share apape sangat easier this way if I want to slowly disconnect from the others if I decided to later.


Eh terpanjang pulak membebel. Fuck it off memang fuck it off tapi kena let it out of my system la jugak not that anyone reads my blog anyway. Soo...they went back around 5.30pm and I started cleaning straight away. Vacuumed and mopped twice, kemas pinggan mangkuk segala and I was done by 7. I was up since 7 in the morning so by the time I finished cleaning, memang dah barai gila penat. Balik rumah tu rasa macam kesian bilik sendiri terabai so I gathered some strength to vacuum my room. Settled doing the laundry and all by 11pm I passed out already,


Harini bangun badan rasa kena pukul sakit dia. Still need some rest. It was one heck of tiring weekend but still happy I get to do some catching-ups

Hai, Saya Lapar

I'm on my 3rd day of intermittent fasting, and it's 12.10pm now so I have another like 1 hour 20 mins to go before I can start eating so here I am, writing, to distract me from thinking about foooood. My SIL have been promoting this intermittent fasting since forever but I haven't had the time to do enough research and reason to do it until just recently.


From the little research I did intermittent fasting is eating in a certain period of time and then put your body in a fasting mode to kinda force it to burn whatever you have. There are few ways to do it but the simplest I could do is the 16:8 one which is 16 hours of fasting and 8 hours of eating. It goes  against the traditional "eat 5 times a day to keep your metabolism at par/breakfast is the most important meal of the day". So basically what I did is start eating at around 1230pm and stop eating after 830pm. Since I am going out for dinner tonight, I extended my starting time to 130pm so I can stop eating by 930pm. Gitew kau gigih.


So far it has been okay. I mean, I'm only on my day 3 there's really not much can be said kan. Weight wise...hurm, I can't really tell. Last week I had weigh-in session so I was at X kg. Over the weekend I had like food fest like no other, eating shell out TWICE, cakes and dessert and pasta and aish semua2 la so when I weigh myself last monday I was at X+3kg. This morning I weigh myself and I've gone down to X+1 kg. Tak tau la how accurate it is since I just finished my period sometimes time period memang berat naik pun. So gotta wait until next week I supposed?


My critical time would be around 1030-11pm so I would be drinking water with chia seed. But I found out chia seed has around 70kcal tapi tak pela bagi discount sikit kan. In the morning is one of the toughest la. The first hunger wave comes around 8am when I usually feed myself. And then around 10-11am so I will keep on drinking water and green tea until the wave calms.


Let's hope I can keep this up for 2 weeks minimum! And I hope this will yield results. 45 minutes until my first meal of the dayyyy ayyyy
