Progress of 2012 weight management

Not sure why but my weight creeps from 72kg (early Nov) to 75kg today! Sob!Sob!.... Actually, I do have some assumptions which mostly relate to my eating habit:

• Didn't drink enough
• Didn't control my portion
• Didn't control carbo/fat intake

With holidays and events happened during Nov/Dec, I didn't manage to monitor my weight.

I'm doing ok at exercise department. I still do 15 minutes brisk walking (that's about 120 cal) twice a week. I've been doing that for nearly a year and I'm no more too lazy to hit the gym. I praise myself for that.

Permanent weight loss takes time, doesn't it? Although I didn't reach my target weight (I think to lose 10kg in 2012) at least now I do squeeze in some time to exercise.

OK, exercise...checked. Next, is eating habit. Habit ok, thus need preseverence to improve. If I have a good eating habit, I've could have been able to maintain my weight since day 1!

My next strategy is to embark on meal replacement method. I did try once with SDII in 2009. That was before I was ready to change my habit/routine. I was on SDII just for weight loss without having a good plan or a good understanding that weight loss is a product from changing current habits/routine.

I'm more ready now and I'm thinking of taking Herbalife. Hope 2013 will bring better result with more kg loss!

Taking a breath. Updating Oct-Nov

Only today I manage to open this blog since the last time I wrote. My biggest challenge this year is over i.e. bibik went home for 7 weeks. Alhamdulillah she's already back last week, Friday 30 Nov.

I had a great time when I decided to take a 2 weeks leave including the Deepavali/Awal Muharram week in early Nov. It was a transition period between my mum and my mum in law to help us out during bibik's absence. I was hesitant at first to apply for the leave since it's quite a long break and knowing my boss, she would go beserk about it. However, I kept in mind that if this is for the good of others i.e my kids/parents, insyallah Allah SWT will be with us (new mindset I'm learning to incalculate in me)... Alhamdulillah, haven't heard any complaints and to express my thankfulness, I shall focus with work and deliver with my best ability.


Alhamdulillah too, our company did a salary revision starting Oct and staff in my Band have the highest increment. I can say I'm able to invest with the increment and I'm planning to buy a property for rent...

Plan = investment, Actual = Shopping???

Many things to update but due to lack of apparatus needed for basic blogging e.g notebook/IPhone/ camera, I could see my entries are on the low side compared to previous years.

Anyway, I feel really energetic today. I'm taking a break from work and sorting out pending stuff of my life (bosses are on leave). I feel more empowered to do work after attending 2 courses very related to my work. I'm ready to plan for 2013 for my family.

Today, I'm treating colleagues for lunch at a place they choose. I'm going now, so see ya!
