Diet & Exercise
My definition of a productive day
Sunday, November 23rd, 2008I woke up at 845am on a Sunday morning. What??
Yes, it’s really me. Mamapumpkin on a Sunday morning. A changed person who no longer lies in till 11am. Get ready for the new me.
I managed to flip through 2 whole girly magazines(Female and Harper’s Bazaar, me time, yes! Me time!!!) before I got off my […]
The Best Fat Burner
Thursday, November 13th, 2008For the longest time (we’re talking 10 years thereabouts?), my Mom has been harping on about my weight. Just because she is slim, she expects me to be too, and doesn’t have an inkling that I have a hormonal problem. She keeps swearing upon her last bottom dollar that the best fat burner would be […]
Suffering from Psoriasis
Monday, November 10th, 2008I was recently told by my dermatologist that I suffer from Psoriasis.
Soraya - what??!! Before then, I’d never even heard of the word. Now that I have, every thing that is wrong with my body is coming together and it all makes sense.
I have stress induced incurable psoriasis.
What I thought was persistent dandruff is in […]
Frequent headaches
Saturday, September 20th, 2008The Hubs complained that I get headaches too frequently. I know I get headaches but I haven’t exactly given them a second thought. I thought it was normal to feel your head banging on a daily basis when you have a demanding four year old. Maybe not.
So maybe I should take this headache thing more […]
Tee’s long story with constipation
Friday, August 29th, 2008I was going through my old posts (shit! I have been writing for two years!) and found Constipation in Toddlers when Tee was just 22 months old. My dear girl is now 47 months old, two years later, and nothing has changed. Her poo still comes out as little Cadbury chocolate balls and she still […]
What Tee had for lunch today
Friday, August 22nd, 2008Haha….I needed a filler post and I needed it fast so this is it. Tee had macaroni with home-cooked chicken stock, potatoes, radish, sun-dried tomatoes, chopped coriander, ham and onions. Oh, and topped with grated cheddar cheese. She walloped it kau-kau!! What did Mommy have? 3 chocolate cubes. *gulp*

On crystals again, the fat losing kind…
Monday, October 15th, 2007YES!!!!
There is such a thing!!!!
Well, it’s probably not as absurd as it sounds. It probably has some energy thing that increases your metabolism or something which in turn makes you kinda lose weight. Capiche?
Anyway, my mother, who loves me so much and has so much faith in me losing weight, bought me two ‘lose-weight’ crystal […]
I have dandruff, I must be stressed!
Sunday, October 14th, 2007I have never had a probem with dandruff before and my only association with it is watching those local ads on TV that go “Eeeee…..Kelimumur!!” Do you remember those? The ones where the victims are always dressed in colours of death so you can clearly see white flakes all over their shoulders?
But recently, I’ve developed […]
Obesity and weight loss
Friday, October 5th, 2007Ever since I met the Hubs, my weight has been climbing a steep ladder, step by step, over the last ten years. It is discouraging to say the least but thankfully, I don’t feel the need to have the houston lapband just yet. I pray I never will.
However, for many people out there who have […]
Bad sinuses causes brain damage
Saturday, September 22nd, 2007In my case anyway….
I’ve suffered from chronic sinusitis for 20 years. It isn’t pleasant.
It’s a case of wet tissue balls by my bedside every single night, by the dozens. It means having a tissue plug up my nose for the most of my blogging time because as much as I blow my nose out, it drips. Even […]
Weight loss or inch loss?
Thursday, August 16th, 2007At Tee’s Doctor today, I weighed myself with a real weighing machine. Not a wonky one like the one I have at home. My heart skipped a beat at the extra kilos till I pacified myself that perhaps I was building muscle.
My jeans are certainly looser.
Yesterday, I did 5km on a bike and 2km walking on […]
Yoga really helps
Monday, August 13th, 2007I attended a one-to-one trial yoga class today and felt so good after. My sinuses totally cleared and my body felt like a brand new engine again. Oiled and serviced and ready to perform backbends. OK, maybe not backbends.
But seriously, I needed it. I got to relax…….which is something lacking in my life right now.
So […]
The upsides and downsides of Motherhood. Here.
Friday, August 10th, 2007Today, my sugar mummy took me shopping. (secret: if you want to inherit one, do real good and you will have one in your next life :-))
I have been rather glum and well, if you were in my position, day-in day-out, you would understand.
But man! What a fantastic spin 5 hours of retail therapy can do!!!
After dropping […]
The journey of fat loss
Thursday, May 17th, 2007I burned 380 calories this morning on the cross trainer. I had a 400 calorie breakfast. I had a total of 1100 calories today.
If I can keep this up, I have hope.
I learnt the kind of food I should be eating and the portions from here.
Right. NO WONDER I am as heavy as my husband.
Like […]
