Day 207: Second Visit To Kuantan Herbalife Nutrition Club

I have some bad news to tell!

The kgs that I gained over the last weekend..... stayed! arrghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!

Or maybe that 75.5kg was incorrect? haha...!! tensenn wehh...

Today I visited the club for the 2nd time... and aku timbang lah pakai scale HL tu... betul tekaanku... 77kg, sama berat last time timbang kat club tu... hmmmm.... tapi ada yg turun la.. apa ntah.. cholesterol level ke?

Im really not happy with that... dah tu...what do u expect? Tak betul2 berdisiplin punyer pasal, last weekend makan tak ingattttt... padan mukaaaaaaaaaaa... uwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa... tensen...

That why lah aku gagahkan diri gak g meeting kat HL nutrition club tu... coz I need motivation n support from other Herbalists..... ikutkan hati,memang malas giler nak drive sorang2 ke bandar yg bukan nyer dekat ngan umah aku nih...

But, thanx God I went there coz now aku dah jadi motivated balik...

So... siang tadi nyer.. (Wednesday 18 Feb) aku dok pk mcm mana lah aku nak timbang nih... takkan sampai nak kena g jauh2.. so aku dapat idea bernasssss.... hahahaa... cuba teka...

Food To Avoid

Tadi dok browse www.oprah.com

Ada artikel ni...

Thought of sharing with you gals here....


Fitness trainer Rich Barretta believes in eating healthy, well-balanced meals but doesn't believe in trend or fad dieting. "Any diet out there that restricts you from either fats, proteins, carbs—one or all three—is generally not a good diet to be on," Rich says. "You want to find the delicate balance. You should focus more on a lifestyle based on what's reasonable and what you really need to do to get from point A to point B." Rich takes a closer look at four foods to avoid in order to make a major difference in your body from a health and appearance standpoint.
Avoid Processed Foods
Stay away from fast food and frozen meals, Rich says. Even though some frozen dinners may be low in calories—about 350 or less—the quality of the food is unhealthy, he says. "You're trying to get yourself healthy and looking good and feeling good, and you're pouring pure garbage into your body," Rich says. "You will lose weight, but that doesn't mean you're going to be very healthy and look better. You're just going to be a deconditioned, unhealthy person."
Limit Alcohol
Try to reduce the amount of alcohol you're consuming and how frequently you're consuming it, Rich says. "If you have one or two glasses a week, that's not going to be the problem," Rich says. "But if you're drinking three or four nights a week, you have to really look at yourself and say, 'I'm putting a lot of alcohol, which is not healthy for me, and a lot of extra calories into my body late night.' And usually what happens is that you start drinking alcohol and you start to overeat. One problem leads to another."However, having a glass of red wine is actually healthy, Rich says. "A glass of red wine as an antioxidant is good for you," he says.
Avoid Fried Foods
Regardless of whether it's fried in trans fat, olive oil, peanut oil or canola oil, fried foods have a lot of saturated fat, Rich says. "Have it baked, have it grilled or have it broiled," he says.
Avoid Eating Carbohydrates at Night
If you're eating carbohydrates, such as rice, potatoes, bread or cereal, at night, your body won't have enough time to metabolize the calories, Rich says. "It won't be carbohydrates when you wake up in the morning—it'll be fat in your hips and thighs or in your stomach," he says

How Not To Look Old

Found this here... http://news.yahoo.com/s/time/20090210/hl_time/08599187771700


How Not To Look Old

It's a question surely as old as vanity itself: how can you look young forever? A forthcoming study in the journal Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery offers one surprising idea: as you age, don't be afraid to put on a few pounds. Fat, it turns out, can significantly smooth out wrinkles and give you a younger-looking face. (Read "Beth Teitell: On Not Looking Old".)
The authors of the new study, a team led by Dr. Bahman Guyuron of Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, are plastic surgeons who study faces for a living. They analyzed photographs of the faces of 186 pairs of identical twins taken at the Twins Days Festival, a sort of twins' pride event held every summer in (naturally) Twinsburg, Ohio. Because the pairs had identical genetic material, differences in how old they looked could be attributed entirely to their behavioral choices and environment. Guyuron's team had the twins fill out extensive questionnaires about their lives - everything from how many times they had married to whether they had regularly used sunscreen. Then a panel of four judges independently estimated the twins' ages by looking at photos taken in Twinsburg. (See pictures from the Annual Twins Day Festival.)
The Guyuron team's most interesting findings had to do with weight. Many of the twin pairs were of similar weight, but differences in how old they looked began to appear when one had a body mass index (BMI) at least four points higher than her sister. For twin pairs under 40, the heavier one looked significantly older. But surprisingly, after 40, that same four-point difference in BMI made the heavier twin look significantly younger.

Safe Plastic Water Bottles

This is from: http://trusted.md/blog/vreni_gurd/2007/03/29/plastic_water_bottles


To be certain that you are choosing a bottle that does not leach, check the recycling symbol on your bottle. If it is a #2 HDPE (high density polyethylene), or a #4 LDPE (low density polyethylene), or a #5 PP (polypropylene), your bottle is fine. The type of plastic bottle in which water is usually sold is usually a #1, and is only recommended for one time use. Do not refill it. Better to use a reusable water bottle, and fill it with your own filtered water from home and keep these single-use bottles out of the landfill.

Unfortunately, those fabulous colourful hard plastic lexan bottles made with polycarbonate plastics and identified by the #7 recycling symbol, may leach BPA. Bisphenol A is a xenoestrogen, a known endocrine disruptor, meaning it disturbs the hormonal messaging in our bodies. Synthetic xenoestrogens are linked to breast cancer and uterine cancer in women, decreased testosterone levels in men, and are particularly devastating to babies and young children. BPA has even been linked to insulin resistance and Type 2 Diabetes.

For more of the science on the effects of BPA on our endocrine system etc. see these studies: Environmental Health Perspectives Journal. Nalgene, the company that manufactures the lexan water bottles also makes #2 HDPE bottles in the same sizes and shapes, so we have a viable alternative. Order one at Nalgene.

Unfortunately, most plastic baby bottles and drinking cups are made with plastics containing Bisphenol A. In 2006 Europe banned all products made for children under age 3 containing BPA, and as of Dec. 2006 the city of San Franscisco followed suit. In March 2007 a billion-dollar class action suit was commenced against Gerber, Playtex, Evenflo, Avent, and Dr. Brown's in Los Angeles superior court for harm done to babies caused by drinking out of baby bottles and sippy cups containing BPA. So, to be certain that your baby is not exposed, use glass bottles.

Check the recycling numbers on all your plastic food containers as well, and gradually move to storing all food in glass or ceramic.Store water in glass or brass if possible, and out of direct sunlight.

Ok... so the types of plastics to be avoided are: No 1 n 7

Tapi.. bila baca kat sini http://www.plasticsinfo.org , lain plak citer nyer.. if before aku baca n dpt email cakap takleh guna plastic bottle utk guna isi air dalam peti ais... kat site tu cakap boleh pulak... the email is just a hoax... pulakkk..iskk.. mana satu nak caya nih??
