Control Your Diet

It has been a while...

Now is the time to declare your independence by choosing to eat foods that help you reach your diet goal. For example, dont allow your host, friends, even waiter to determine what you will eat. Make that decision by yourself for once!!! Learn to determine what menus are best for you and stick with your choice. 


Hati-hati also with 'All You Can Eat" offer. These four words spell success for some restaurant. These are dietary hazards for dieters actually. The "All You Can Eat" actually is "I Dont Care!" for some restuarant owners.  

Friend can also contribute in controlling your diet. Most projects are made easier when you have a co-worker. Try team-dieting. Find a friend who also wants to shed a few pounds. This can be motivating. Remind each other of food boundaries and the benefits are mutual. Your encouragement may be just what your teammate needs. 


Here's To Our Health!

let's get sweat!


Dah lama saya tak jengah blog kesayangan saya nie... masa mencemburui saya. Cut to the chase, ini hasil calories burnt saya selepas 2 bulan berehat daripada puasa dan raya. Tak dinafikan, berat saya agak naik sedikit akibat memenuhi undangan open house dan kenduri kahwin, tapi saya akan berusaha untuk turunkan kepada target saya. InsyaAllah, doakan saya yer.

feel good!


Lifestyle.... too subjective and complicated! To me, it's how you live your life. Firstly, a passive lifestyle is just as dangerous as a large appetite. Apa saja yang kita buat atau consume (makan), akan beri kesan kepada kesihatan as well as the outlook.

You really are what you think you are. Sikap yang positif menghasilkan tindakan yang positif. One key to a successful diet is a positive outlook (berpandangan +ve). Believe that you can change your mind, body and your life. Kawal attitude and believe that you can succeed, can lose weight!

Ubah gaya hidup, inject some exercise into your routine. Cari jalan untuk sentiasa aktif, buat something yang digemari, bukan buat sebab ikut-ikutan kerana ikut-ikutan ini takan bertahan lama. When you do what you really like, it will always stay with you. Here's some lil' things that can make a big change to your life.

Take the stairs instead of elevator (unless your hands full of shopping bags, ahaks!). Take a walk at lunchtime, please park your car at the far end of the parking lot instead of next to the office building, do some desk-side exercise, pedal an exercise bike which you have invest during television viewing. And please, please, please jangan asyik terperap jer kat rumah, do some yard work, meet new people, bergaul dengan positif thinker. Ya, yang ni susah sikit sebab kita tak tahu samada orang tu positif thinker atau sebaliknya. But trust me, after a while, you will definitely know. Kita akan nampak their true colours. Kalau agak2 lain macam jer, i mean golongan keladak nie, cepat2 jauhkan diri sebab kita tak nak terkena tempias keladak mereka. Kita tak rugi sesen pun. 

As for me, I love the new me, I feel great, I feel good! I have purpose. Apabila hidup ada tujuan, kesihatan fizikal lebih mudah untuk diuruskan, then kita akan discover new discipline for all areas of life. Trust me! Last but not least, sentiasa bersyukur dengan kesihatan yang DIA berikan dan hargailah apa yang dimiliki sekarang kerana esok lusa belum tentu sama seperti hari ini.

 Mingguan Wanita, Ubah Imej: Disember 2012.



Rapi, Tips Sihat: Disember 2011.



imej diri

Aku yang dulu.

It's true. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Imej diri mempengaruhi kesihatan dan sikap kita. Jika kita melihat diri kita tak menarik dan worthless, kita akan kelihatan begitu. Bukan nak suruh bersolek memanjang atau pakai vogue2 sentiasa, tapi cukuplah sekadar berketerampilan baik, pakaian tak perlu mahal2 utk nmpk cantik, nampak bersih, kemas, tak menjolok mata. Itu pun dah cukup. 


Aku yang baru.

When you begin to see yourself as worthwhile, attractive and changing for the better, you'll begin to make healthier choices. Kita juga kena bina imej diri yg positif, bergaul dgn org2 yg positif. Elakkan org2 yg negatif atau golongan keladak (gelaran yg Dr. Muhaya berikan untuk golongan ini). Apabila saya berdepan dgn golongan keladak, saya berpegang kepada prinsip... "Orang negatif ini ibarat habuk. Biarkan saja, jgn dilayan. Nanti angin akan bawa mereka terbang jauh daripada kita."

Paling penting, jgn pandang rendah pada diri kita. Jangan rasa depress sebab kita tak cantik sebab wajah tak boleh diubah, tetapi perangai, boleh. Jangan kedekut untuk senyum sebab senyum itu satu ibadah juga. Last but not least...please dont ignore your BO. Tahu tak apa tu BO? Body Odour... bau badan. Antara tips utk elakkan bau badan, kena rajin sental bahagian bawah lengan dengan limau kasturi setiap kali lepas mandi. Itu cara tradisional yg tak gunakan kos yg mahal. Tapi kena rajin buat, itu saja. 

Ingat, imej anda ialah aset anda! 





Stop eating in the car!


Zaman sekarang nie, kereta bukan lagi menjadi kaedah pengangkutan. Dah jadi trend, kereta bertindak sebagai mobile dining room, especially bagi yg terlalu sibuk dan tak sempat makan. Ditambah pulak dengan drive-thru segala bagai. Tapi korang tahu tak...

Eating in the car might give you more than motion sickness, it could give you motion thickness! Kita pasti singgah drive thru... kononnya sebagai alas perut. But do you realize that fast foods are generally not very diet-friendly? Usually, car is a place where it is easiest to overeat.

So to avoid this eating-driving xtvt, please maintain your focus. Jangan biarkan 'acara' mengunyah menjadi xtvt tambahan dalam kereta. Ia bukan saja boleh menambahkan kilo kita, tapi boleh menyebabkan kejadian yang tak diingini...

So, never eat in the car! Sekadar kunyah chewingum atau coklat utk hilangkan ngantuk, boleh. Tapi jangan banyak taw!

late nite snack

Mat salih kata supper or late nite snack... katanya! Ada kalanya, tengah-tengah malam buta, kita terasa nak makan, kan? Saya tak terkecuali. Kekadang perancangan awalnya hanya nak temankan en. asben atau anak2 makan roti canai tapi kesudahannya saya pun terjebak. Tapi bukanlah makan roti canai atau anything yang berat. Kalau ikutkan blood diet, saya tak boleh makan anything yang berasaskan gandum. Roti diperbuat daripada gandum, kan? Tapi sekala-sekali tak salah. Ahak!

But my kind of supper is of course roti bakar sapuan sendiri mentega & kaya serta air teh o. Kalau dulu, sebelum saya kawal pemakanan saya, teh tarik memang pilihan no. 1. Inilah yang dikatakan the battle in losing weight. It is more about mind-control than body-control. Minda mainkan peranan penting. Nak makan supper, boleh tapi makan ala kadar, temperance (bersederhana). Almost any food is healthy if eaten in proper portions and can be dangerous when overconsumed, kan? 

Kenapa saya pilih untuk sapu sendiri mentega dan kaya? Sebab kalau saya sapu, saya boleh adjust ketebalan sapuan. Saya akan seimbangkan sapuannya seperti sekeping sapu kaya, sekeping lagi sapu mentega. Kalau dorang yang sapu, sekeping roti mereka akan sapu mentega campur kaya dan sekeping lagi pun macam tu juga. Bayangkan berapa banyak calori tu... fikir-fikirkan.

you are what you eat

Sounds familiar, rite? Kata2 ini bukan saja merujuk kepada orang yang debab, tapi kepada orang yang kurus juga. For sure org yg debab, kita dah boleh agak bagaimana pemakanannya. Begitu juga dengan orang kurus, kita boleh tahu sama ada dia mengamalkan pemakanan yg sihat atau sebaliknya.



I'm sure ramai yang tak nak kurus macam nie, kan? This is called unhealthy!!!! Kita pun dah boleh agak apa yang dimakannya. Sama ada dia makan then throw up or makanan yg dia makan tak cukup zat, banyak sangat berpantang, memilih makanan dan sebagainya. Satu lagi, kalau kita kurus sangat, kita akan nampak tua daripada usia sebenar. In other words, she is what she eat.



I would prefer to be like this. There are flesh here and there....what i mean is, ada punggung sikit, ada perut sikit but still can be considered as flat tummy, saiz lengan dan bentuk paha yg sesuai dgn ketinggian dan muka yg tak terlalu cengkung. Dari gambar ni pun, at least, kita dah boleh agak cara pemakanannya. She looks healthy, glowing face, tak kurus sangat, tak gemuk sangat, just nice. Again, she is what she eat.


Obviously, we don't want to be like this, right? Needless to say... she is what she eat. Nauzubillah....  There's no doubt that eating is pleasure, but eating for pleasure is a problem. Apabila naluri berkata "Dah kenyang", itu tanda untuk berhenti makan, bukan signal utk tambah lagi. Listen when it tells you that you are stuffing rather than satisfying. Bersyukurlah that you have enough to eat for the day. It is for your own good too. 

Moral of the story here is, successful dieters dont give up everything, they just give up the wrong things.


watch out!!!!! YoU aRe WhAt YoU eAt....

Just say NO!




Cuba mengurangkan berat badan tanpa mengawal diri ibarat cuba mengayuh basikal tanpa handle. You get what i mean? You will never be in control of your weight or your health until you learn to control yourself. Sebagai permulaan, kita kena ajar diri kita by saying NO!

If you really want to lose weight, learn to say NO! Self control bermula dari fikiran kita, macam kita buat mental choice... A or B. Then we put up some 'fences', contohnya ketepikan certain foods or behaviour yg boleh menolong kita. Frankly, self control tu sangat penting.  Its better to have self-control than to control an army, right? So its better to control yourself first, than to control your intake.

Happy Dieting!!!

i did it!

It was all of a sudden! When Hani said that she's looking for a companion for a 10km roadrace, i didn't take long to volunteer myself. The timing is superb, so i grab the opportunity. 

This is my first participation of any roadrace, ratrace, marathon, walkathon, or anything related to a public race. Mulanya cuak jugak sebab tak pernah join race yg macam ni. Pada pengiraan aku, i can learn something from Hani sebab minah ni dah biasa dengan race sebegini. Aku sure aku akan jadi 10 peserta terakhir. 

Ada 2 kategori... men & women. Pompuan start 10 minutes lewat selepas org lelaki at 7:10am...SHARP!  Mulanya aku briskwalk dgn Hani but i think after 200 meter macam tu, aku dah start berlari... leaving Hani behind. The route agak adventurous jugak... flat road, if i'm not mistaken, is only 3km. Another 7km is a ascending and descending route. Mencabar, beb! Bila time mendaki tu, sampai terpaksa berjalan membongkokkan badan supaya tak rasa penat sangat. Apa yang aku tak boleh lupa ialah aku berlari dalam gerimis...tu yang paling best. Teringat zaman kecik2, aku main hujan. Hehe... 

Bila dah penat berlari, aku briskwalk. While briskwalking, i'm taking my own sweet time exploring the nature surrounding me. Sesekali aku mendongak tengok pokok2 besar. Dalam hati, "Jangan ada ular jatuh atas kepala, sudah! Nauzubillah...." Then bila agak-agak nafas tu dah recover, aku sambung berlari semula. Sesekali aku toleh belakang, tak nampak pulak kelibat si Hani ni. Kata hati, "Agaknya dia dah kat depan, aku yang tak perasan dia potong aku". 



Once aku arrived kat finishing line, aku terus tekan button Polar utk tahu timing & calories burn. 1304 cal burnt within 1hr 15minutes. Not bad untuk first timer macam aku nie. Lepas ambil medal, aku terus cari Hani. Melilau jugak mata nie cari minah tu... 


But to my surprise......


Aku sampai setengah jam lebih awal daripada Hani rupanya. Caiyok lar!!!  Aku memang tak sangka, serius!! Aku mati2 ingat dia sampai dulu. Kebetulan masa dia landed di finishing line, aku tengah beratur nak ambil air Milo. Then i grabbed one for her dan kami minum sama2. 

Tapi siapa sampai dulu tak penting. Yang penting, the spirit, the courage to complete the race. Bukan dekat taw, it was 10km! Dan tak semua orang larat nak habiskan larian...ada jugak yang aku nampak tersidai tepi jalan sebab penat. 

Last but not least, i'm glad that i enjoyed the 10km race thanks to Hani. :-D

from fat to fit and slim

Inilah aku yg dulu...

Ini gmbr2 sejak 2 tahun lepas. Last gambar montel aku ialah yg paling kiri. Masa tu weight aku 77kg. Mcm mn aku boleh ingat? Sebab masa tu aku nak depart menunaikan umrah. Aku ambil weight sebab nak tgk adakah berat aku turun bila balik mesia semula. Kat sana kan byk berjalan, so pada pendapat aku, mestilah badan aku susut sikit kot. 

Semasa di sana, ada sekali tu, aku berdoa minta diberikan kesihatan yg baik dan semoga aku gigih utk kurangkan berat badan. Aku yakin, doaku itu diterima sebabnya....




Inilah aku yang sekarang....

Tiada kata yg mampu diucapkan selain SYUKUR!!! Now weight aku sekitar 68kg...sikit lagi nak capai target which is 65kg. Tapi en. asben tak kasik aku kurus lagi sbb katanya sekarang ni 'just nice'. Aku pun happy dgn diri aku yg skrg. I'm not trying to impress anybody, i want to please myself first. Tapi dalam masa yg sama, ramai juga yg tegur, kata aku dah kurus. Aku rasa itu satu teguran yg positif. Ramai yg tanya, "Kau makan Herbalife ek?", "You ambil SD2 ke?", "Kau diet apa sampai kurus macam ni?". 

Frankly, tak ada diet apa pun. Maksud aku, tak ada diet yg giler2. Perlahan2 aku cuba kurangkan unhealthy food, then aku gandakan xtvt cardio aku, i choose what i want to eat. Hari2 aku makan. First, aku pastikan aku tak skip brekfes sebb itu sgt penting utk hsewife macam aku ni. Then tghari aku makan nasi, aku kurangkan intake nasi, maknanya aku tak makan bertambah. In between aku tak makan apa2, aku bykkan minum air. Then dinner aku tak makan dah sbb perut dah penuh dgn air. kalau nak makan pun, smtimes biskut cicah dgn milo. So itu sajalah rutin diet aku. Itulah diet jujur aku...

Selalunya wiken aku akan outing dgn family. So menu of the day pun 'out'. Our fav fast foods are pizza, auntie anne,  kfc, kenny rogers, dave deli, you name it except McD. so bygkan calorinya... Aku join makan sama tapi macam yg aku cakap tadi, aku makan small portion. So itulah diet aku, kalau korang nak tahu.

Aku tak percaya langsung kepada diet yg tak makan nasi lar, tak makan mee lar konon. Tapi benda lain dia belasah kaw2, pegidah! Itu tak makan, ini tak makan tapi badan macam tong deram jugak! *Opps! Sape makan cili, pandai2 lar cover pedas tu ek.*


Now aku dah tak risau nak carik size baju... apa2 baju pun. Mostly size M aku dah boleh pakai. Begitu juga dgn seluar...no more size exceed 30 okayyyy! Tadi lupa aku nak citer pasal diet yg aku ikut... it's called blood type diet. Yg ini memang betul. Korang gugel ikut jenis darah korang. Yang pasti, aku tak boleh ambil produk tenusu & daging tapi kena bykkan protein daripada ikan. 

These are my best friends. They are Nike and Polar. They are my loyal companion. They too have their ups and downs. When i need to push myself an extra mile, they will always be there, without fail, to give their support. 

JomFit Kevin Zahri.

Ini antara xtvt cardio yg aku join. Frankly cakap, bila kita berkawan dgn org2 yg positif minded, kita juga akan sentiasa positif dan excited about life. Orang2 positif nie, dorang tak lokek ilmu. They share what they know, they help each other, motivate each other. So, when we mingle with them, we can feel the positive energy that they carry with them. 



My other xtvts... cycle, swimming, main badminton and few others. 


I have friends who have the same passion like mine. We always motivate each other by sharing other cardio xtvts. Like the above picture, me and Hani. We managed to complete a 10km roadrace. The best part is,  i was able to finish the 10km run within 1hr 15minutes. Yes, calm down, i know, me too can't believe it. Ahaks! 


Last but not least, this man here, my en. asben, who is totally opposite from me in terms of health conscious, is my biggest supporter, my honest motivator of all. Without him, i dont think i can do it either. Without him, i dont think i have the effort to slim down. Without him, i dont think i will have the time to do my cardio workout, tu yang paling penting because he has to take care of the kids when i hv class. Eventhough he is not a sports-type guy aka kaki bangku, *pardon my manglish yer*, but he never stops me from working out regularly, he never prevents me from taking part in any cardio xtvts, he never say no when i said i need a new pair of sports gear. Hehehehe.... 

So now korang dah taw macam mana aku boleh jadi 'from fat to fit and slim'. Pada aku, kurus tu ialah satu bonus kalau kita rajin bersenam, usaha tu tangga kejayaan, kan? Hahaha! But along the way, banyak juga cabarannya, kita kena tabah dan kuat hati especially bila kita dihidangkan dgn makanan yang boleh buat selera tergugat. But frankly, sekali sekala tak salah if you want to break the rules, tapi agak-agaklah ya. Aku pun ada masanya break the rules jugak and i take that as a big treat for my own effort. 


"Keep it up, Yanti!"
