Buck the Odds

Go Green

My body protested after much deprivation of the usual intake of carbohydrates and fats, and caught a cold because of the erratic weather. I had to take cold baths at night because the heat's killing me!

Something odd about this year: I lost 4 kilos due to gastric in April and then put everything back on plus 2 in August, and I perpetually have pimples on my face. *sulks* Unfortunately I'm not going through puberty a second time but on the contrary, age is really catching up. I'm not happy, Doc's not happy, so something's gotta change.

Besides the usual fruits and veggies, I take more white meat and complex carbohydrates. I do find myself craving less.

I actually do enjoy shopping for ingredients and creating varieties. Here's my newly concocted colorful pasta salad... Awfully proud of myself!

While my insides (and my face) are turning green, the good news for me is 2 kilos are off the scales. After 10 days. Go green with me?

Salad Mania

Recently I'm a little crazy about vegs and fruits, greens and reds... Mix and match lettuce, capsicum, cucumbers, tomatoes, olives, apples, strawberries, sunflower seeds, with Italian dressing or mustard. Yum. But oh, that makes me hungry half the time!



When time is short, I dig into Subway's Oven Baked Chicken Breast Salad (left) and otherwise, it's up to my liking (right) using the stuff I buy from the mart over the weekend. See how long I'll last!

K Talk

Whenever I get calls from CW's phone and not hear his voice, I'll have to wait a second or two to hear K's... and it's always a lovely surprise to talk to the little one.

"Harlow Yiyi... (pause) how are you... are you, are you..."
"Luv yo-u~..."
"Miss yo-u~..."
"Good knight!"

Awww...

When she says "you", I could almost visualise her pouting lips and her cute face. Sometimes she'll say a bunch of words that I cannot decipher and she says bye bye really fast. That's not so much like chatting but calling just to fulfill her quota for the day.

I have had two out of the few conversations recorded on my Nokia! Love to replay and hear her... just cheers me up anytime.

In the waters

Back to swimming.
Love the gradual tan.
Happy to be rebuilding stamina, and hopefully toned muscles.
Happier to have my beau for a personal coach.
I don't have to think about a single thing in the blue, I just have to remember to move my limbs and come up for air.
Slightly underwater for some stuff but still surviving and looking forward to 2010.
