I'm really going to have to do something about my weight! I'm not fat or anything mind you but my tummy has recently been getting a tad bit too big for my liking. Since I started by running program again all those months ago I actually managed to successfully reduce the size of my tummy by quite a lot with a strict control of my eating habits. Even wifey was pretty pleased with my achievements and she showed me how pleased she was ... LOL!
But ever since my good buddy's wedding, I've been been skipping my running sessions and eating like crazy. I ate all kinds of junk food, snacked in between meals, snacked before bedtime, ate banana leaf rice almost everyday for a week (and you know how much of rice they give you in those meals, right?) and before I knew it, I gained back what I lost! And now wifey has started calling me bulat again!
That did the trick. I immediately went out and started my running again and boy, just cos I skipped running for almost 2 weeks or so, it felt like years. I had to get my body and legs accustomed to running all over again. I am getting back into the groove though and have started to reduce that tummy again to a more presentable level, cut down on my food bingeing and this time I'm going to seriously stick with it and not get tempted by anything!
Sometimes I wish there was some kind of Miracle burn pills or something that would produce instant results but then I'm against taking any kind of pills to reduce weight. My policy is, you've got to work for it. Besides it's so much healthier that way. I know there are a lot of slimming pills out there in the market but I've read so many horror stories about it and the side effects it can cause. I guess nothing beats a good healthy diet and plain hard work, ya?
Gee, I think I must be the only guy obsessed with losing weight ... LOL! Oh how I miss those long gone days when I could eat non-stop and not gain a single ounce of weight. My friends and family used to be amazed at that ability ... LOL! I never gained weight no matter how much and how often I ate. My waist was a cool 29" and don't ask me what my waist size is like now, ok? LOL!
Well, at least tomorrow I'm going to be doing some fun stuff (no, no, not blogging ... LOL!) which will in away help me lose some calories in the process. I"m taking the boys to the water park and I know for a fact I'll be having a splashing time with them and the wife. We all love the water ... hehehe ... And knowing us, we'll probably spend the entire day there :D At least my waist is back to a respectable level so I won't be looking like a baby hippo in the water tomorrow ... LOL! Have a great weekend folks :)
Urghh.. why isn't being Blubber-ish HOT nowadays? LOL!
ReplyDeleteBut seriously though, I've really got to work out and lose my post-baby flabs before new year.. At least to a respectable level, as you said. If not, i'm the one who'll be called bulat by Mr. Hubby.. (although I don't think he'd want to feel how it is to get whacked in the head) LOL!
But hey, as my friend said, have you seen a fetish for skinny people? Trying to make ourselves feel better lah tuuuu..
-_-
ReplyDeleteOh the tummy. If only we didn't need it to live, then we wouldn't have to worry about it growing to mega proportions!
Shemah - LOL! Fetish for skinny people! Now that is a good one. I'm going to use that line everytime anyone calls me fat ... LOL!
ReplyDeleteWell, if Blubber-ish ever gets hot, I'll probably be the leading ambassador for it ... LOL!
Have a nice weekend.
Haizum, yeah, if only, that would be awesome!
ReplyDeleteBut then, seeing as how we're humans, we'd probably find something else to complain about! LOL!
lol!! i know at least 3 more guys obsessed with their weight, so i guess it is only an illusion that only women worry about their figure :D
ReplyDeleteAnyways, have a great weekend with your family, sounds like you all are prepared for some fun out there ;)
Well, at least you were once able to eat without putting on an ounce. I was never lucky and had to watch my weight all my life! It's tough. I know what you mean after slacking for a few weeks.. getting back track is so tough. Once you achieve a target weight and are all pumped up, you tend to want to keep it that way.
ReplyDeletePills and slimming products don't work. In the long run, it's still the diet and exercise that really helps. I know, I have been there...
Enjoy your outing this weekend. Don't need to feel so conscious, just enjoy yourself with your family!
oh nick, i am dying to see how well-built you are in the next few weeks, (LOL) ever since I have started stalking you, (LOL) only the photo of your feet eased my imagination a bit, hmmm, just wondering how in shape you will be...better stick to your exercise plan and I'll be coming back for more stalking, hehehe (sorry, this isn't a threat...)hihihi
ReplyDeleteJust a nice girl - Phew, at least I'm not the only guy who worries about my figure. LOL!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure the boys will have a ball of a time tomorrow. Happy weekend to you.
BT - Those were fun days being able to eat all I want without putting on any weight ... LOL!
ReplyDeleteOh, I'm definitely kick back my feet and soak in the water till I look like a prune ... LOL!
Great weekend to you.
Lord Manila - It's not easy trying to lose weight with all the food temptations they have out there. Hopefully I'll be able to stick to my exercise plan though.
ReplyDeleteI'm just glad you didn't post any food pics. And while we're on the subject, I'm also trying to lose a few pounds so could you put a warning up when you are going to post food pics because I always raid the fridge after seeing all that delicious food. You are no good for my dietary plans at all young man.
ReplyDeleteGo on a diet lah, Nick: like me. I'm desperately trying to lose some weight before Christmas. It's so suffering lah! >.<
ReplyDeleteGood luck to you! :D
I have the appetite of ten men sometimes! I always have done, but these days I have to watch my calorie consumption, otherwise I will end up looking like ten men!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the waterpark and splashing around.
Gypsy - young man? Me? Whoa Gypsy, you just made my weekend ... imagine me being a called a young man ... woohoo :D
ReplyDeleteOh, I raid the fridge after I post all those pix myself. So that make me no good for my own dietary plans ... LOL!
Cindy - How to diet la, I'm a glutton, the sight of food makes me drool ... LOL!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I'm trying to lose some kilos too before Xmas. Don't wanna look like a lump of lard for the Xmas dance la ... LOL!
And suffering is a mild word to use. It's more like torture :D
The world according to me - Hey, we're alike in that sense I guess. You should see my appetite. There are times when I feel I could eat a whole brontosaurus all by myself ... LOL!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to do my best to have a blast at the waterpark :)
Hah!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad i have a 6 pack!
lay off alcohol, soda, chips and bread for 3o days .... you will see MAD CRAZY GOOD results.
ReplyDeleteGo..Go..Nick..Good luck..but make sure you betul2 do it ha..dont have way..
ReplyDeleteHey Nick, I already lost a few pounds of fat from the Abs Diet! I gained muscle man! And it's only been a little over a week. A no, I didn't starve myself! I still had McD, KFC and mee goreng!! Awesome!!!
ReplyDeleteJay Cam - Damn you for having those six packs! LOL!
ReplyDeleteOn a serious note, welcome to Anything Goes :)
Hey buddy, I'm going to need to lose at least another nine and a half packs before I get anywhere near any of those 6 packs you have :D
Meleah, you might as well ask me to lay down and die ... LOL!
ReplyDeleteNo alcohol, soda, chips and bread for 30 whole days?
The alcohol I definitely can do without cos I'm no drinker. The Soda, chips and bread??? Oh man ... LOL!
Jiejah - Thanks for your vote of encouragement. I'm definitely going to go all the way.
ReplyDeleteSyura - that's awesome. Maybe it's time I try that Abs diet. And you get to eat McD, KFC lagi, I'm going to start that Abs diet right now!
ReplyDeleteurrrmmm ... just what the heck is an Abs diet? LOL!
Ahhh don't worry you're not the only one worried about your weight! My Love is constantly worried about it! :) Maybe you want to try simple stuff like not using the lift? or parking further away to walk more? hehe
ReplyDeleteBobo, well, one of my clients is located on th 19th floor and I doubt I can walk up that far ... LOL!
ReplyDeleteYou can do anything, just lay off the pills. My friend paid a big price for relying on diet pills. Her system is so screwed up, she needs medication to stabilize things.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you can do it... you've got too many adoring fans supporting you! LOL
Sweetiepie, yeah, I've heard some horror stories about pills too. Don't worry I've never been into pills to lose weight. I believe in doing it the hard (and stupid?) way ... LOL!
ReplyDeleteWhat fans you talking about? The ones on the ceiling? LOL!
Oh, read all about it at AbsDiet.com! I think you can get the book at any bookstore.
ReplyDeleteSyura - oh, thanx for pointing me in the right direction. will definitely check it out. Who doesn't wanna lose weight and still be able to eat McD's, KFC, etc ... LOL!
