*W* wOrD aGaiN ! 17/02/2009

today i weighed myself after like 2 weeks. it feels like report card day everytime i go near the weighing scale. not to mention my gala time i spent for kongsi raya. sometimes these are the only time i regret (ONLY TIME OK! other time i’ve no complaints) y there are so many festive leave. first it was X MAS, then New Year, then CNY followed by chap goh meh and now valentine’s day! did i tell i i whacked p*rk knuckles with bacon + baby potato + potato salad on my V day!!! with dessert (tiramisu) some more! oh wait a minute….. i almost forgotten! we also had a free makan *buffet lunch* for our verandah restaurant @ cyberjaya lodge for the soft opening like 3 days after CNY…. anyone can spot me like miles away, looking at my 30 different types of dessert piled up on my mini dessert plate like a confetti tower! … they even had a chocolate foundation dip with strawberries, marsmallows on and on…. needless to say i just pigged out

so where do i stand in my weighing scale….. *drum roll please*…………. SAME WEIGHT! the same 71kg! is this suppose to be good or bad?? with the piles of calories i whooped in… i would say….. it wasn’t bad after all! but i dare not do this another time…. like ppl say everyday is not sunday! to me everyday is not a festive day!

fIbroid 07/02/2009

i just visited my gf in SJMC. she had her surgery done 2 days ago to remove her fibroid. the size of the largest one was 18cm in dia size the smallest was 5cm dia. can u imagine a size of watermelon.. YUP! that was inside her! initailly, she din tot she had any kind of lumps near her womb since there was no signs of it (so babes be careful).

I got my cyst removed in 2007, but it wasn’t so huge. until about a year ago she underwent some check ups as she suspects that her tummy looked like being pregnant. the outcome was not pleasing as some drs gave a scare of her life  when they recommend to remove her womb/uterus since the fibroid is massively big. she was traumatised, who won’t?  removing a uterus for an unmarried woman is not so advisable… don’t u think?

i recommended her to c my gynae in SJMC, Dr Tang Boon Nee. after some ultrasound done, it’s confirmed that her fibroids r big but the dr was very tactful in explaining the situation to her. U c this is y u need a good dr. The prosedures may be same everywhere but how the dr counter the patient is the utmost important thing. That’s y i love Dr Tang. She such a gentle dr.

Dr Tang put her in induced menopause mode by injecting some gnRh (hormon thingy) to stop her period for some time (4-6 months) in order to shrink the fibroid. (if u need more info on this, u can pm me). this treatment is necessary if the dr feels that the fibroid is way to big to remove by surgery, and they may need to shrink the fibroid to smaller size which will be safer to remove by surgery. so can u imagine despite shrinking the fibroid, it was 18cm when they removed it. wat would be the original size then? *faint*

so now she recovering. she will be on MC for 4-5 weeks. we lost loads of weight, body like shrunk. well glad she’s ok now. so to my gf, get well soon and hope u b on ur toes soon.

btw thanks for the baby baju for my babies. will upload the pic once they wear it. HUGS + LOVE.

tHe ‘W’ wOrD *weight* 06/02/2009

how often ppl ask u abt yr weight? in my fly esp my dad, he will ask practically the same ‘W’ question like everytime he sees me. U can even sum up that this is the top question in his list to me. y? simple reason, i am the heaviest (based on gender n height) in my fly (nothing to b proud off i know).

i was at my heaviest when i was pregnant with my TWINS, i.e. 89kg at time of emergency C-sec. once delivered, i was at 80kg. from then till now, i’m struggling to lose weight though i lost all my pregnancy weight (pre pregnancy weight was 77kg). u can c my ticker for my weight progress. now it seems like the whole world watching my weight loss progress. *gosh, i start to feel the pressure odi*

do u know?

1. to lose 1 kg = burning/using 3500kcal?
2. general BMR (Base Metabolic Rate) for woman is 1,800kcal a day? if u do nothing, sit n lay eggs, u use 1,400kcal (conservatively)
3. if let say u eat roti canai + teh tarik (460kcal) for b/fast, then nasi campur (mixed rice) with sky juice aka plain water for lunch (580 kcal) + noodle for dinner (450 kcal), it totals up to 1490kcal. FYI, this exclude tea break, dessert la this la that la. basically u will exceed (1490-1400)kcal = 90kcal. so where does this 90kcal go??? duh staright to my butt as FAT!
4. this 90 kcal may look small now but over a month it is 0.77kg that u will add on to ur weight. so try to imgine wat will happen during xmas? CNY? ladies night? high tea? depression day? craving? PMS? days….    CAN U IMAGINE THE AMOUNT OF CALORIES???? *faint*
5. so to lose weight, u basically need to consume less than 1400 kcal. eg: if u consume only 1,300kcal, u will burn 100kcal a day, which calculates 100 x 30 days / 3500 kcal = 0.86 kg a month.
6. if u add exercise or some kind of activity in ur life, u burn more la    eg: if u walk for 3 km a day (slow walk while gossiping with a friend), instead of using 1,800kcal, u will burn 2,100kcal. (how much u will lose, pls do yr own math babes)

NOW WHO SAID WEIGHT LOSS IS EASY PIZIE???? btw, just to share with u (like always), u can get the info on calorie count Malaysian food  (like nasi lemak curry laksa et al) u can go to www.nutriweb.org.my  . they were useful for me to know how much of sinful calories i have gulped!

gosh y i feel so hungry while posting these?? !#@$
