Last Day Of...

...THE DIET!!! So that's it, I managed to complete my 2 weeks of strict dieting and today i'm going for the kill...my last day. Of course because my boyfriend has just got back from a business trip to Hong Kong and started late, it means that he will only end a week from now- great excuse to continue this health streak.

At the end of the day, I was hoping to make this a sustainable lifestyle change. As I age, yo-yo weight gain/loss becomes much harder to yo-yo...if you get what I mean. I noticed my skin getting better and I feel better in general. 

I'm trying to do what health fans would call clean eating but its sometimes hard to eat clean when there is so much good food (hawkers, restaurants, anything that doesn't require me doing the dishes!) around. The meals I prepare are usually pretty fast- the next best alternative to "fast food". Over the weekends I spend my time washing, dicing, slicing and packing my veges so that in the mornings I can just put together a salad in less than 10 minutes. 

Typical packed lunch Salads

Also, it helps that when I open the fridge, the first thing I see are cut carrots or cucumber sticks...I can't give myself the excuse that its too much trouble to prepare. I also learnt that if you want to avoid the junk food, don't even step into the supermarket aisles that has stuff you can't eat. Stay in the fresh sections! So hard for me...I miss Cheetos!

My Sunday Spinach and Haloumi Omelette

For now, I won't bore you with details on how I made these dishes (too simple) but I will definitely be posting up some yummier recipes as we go along. Ugh, the next couple of weeks are going to be busy in the run up to one of the bestie's is getting hitched. On that note, I also have my own nuptials to prepare for...which I am starting to feel quite inadequately prepared for. Sigh. Anyone know of a good photographer who can do night ballroom shots?

Current Weight: 66.5kgs
"Targetted" Weight: 59.5kgs (my boyfriend has high hopes...this is his target weight for me)

Till next time my fingers need a keyboard workout! XOXO
