Day 28 of 50
Saturday - House Cleaning and Mall-Hopping Day!
No workout today because I didn't have enough time for it because I was meeting my friend at 3pm.
As a consolation (to my body), I walked from my Condo to the Serangoon MRT station, which was a 20 minute uphill-downhill walk, good enough I guess.
I'm planning to workout on Sunday instead.
Here's what I ate:
- 2 pcs of cookie with strawberry jam
- 1 ensure (Vanilla flavor)
- Terriyaki chicken skewers (3 sticks with rice and coleslaw) and German crepe soup from Urban Pantry (A sister company of The Donut Factory)
- 2 small bottles of fruit juice (apple with aloe, blackcurrant with aloe)
- Din Tai Fung at Jurong Point: 5 pcs xiao long bao, 1 medium bowl of hot and sour soup, 1 cup fried rice with pork and egg.

Day 27 of 50
Thank goodness for Friday.
One work week gone and I can finally wake up late the next day.
Since it's a Friday, I'm not able to workout since I had a dinner date with my friend. We ate at Thai Express, food is okay, I guess what you consider comfort food-Thai style.
To sum in up, today I ate:
- 1 mixed rice at Orchard towers - chicken, curry squid and I forgot what the third dish was. But all of them are not fried.
- 1 pack of blue skies crackers
- Thai Express - 1 cup (and a little bit more) of pineapple fried rice, stuffed prawn (or something, and it's also fried), chicken tanghoon ball soup, pina colada ( I took about 5 spoons of vanilla ice cream and some cream soda)

Budget Meal from Kabayan
Doesn't look too appetising..
It's because I already took a spoonful of munggo and some chicken, before I remembered to take a picture.
Day 26 of 50
It's Thursday!
I actually like Thursday because the next day is Friday!
Tonight, we had a meeting in the office, an hour long which I felt was pretty much a time-waster. When I got back to my desk, it was overflowing with things to do, so I had no choice but to clear it and was only able to leave at 7:30.
I got to my interchange at 8+, and had to stop a while to buy some household necessities, like tissue paper and liquid detergent, plus mixed dried fruits (for my snack).
So when I got home, it was already 9PM. I dilly-dallied a while, and was able to reach the swimming pool at 9:30. I swam and did some water aero for half an hour, and had no choice but to get out of the pool since it closes at 10PM.
Here's what I ate today:
- 1 cup a soup, Campbelle's cream of mushroom pasta
- Kabayan budget meal at Lucky Plaza : 1/4 fried chicken (Leg and thigh, yummy!), munggo and rice
- 2 pcs pineapple tart
- 1 piece cheese boat from Breadtalk
- 1 piece curry naan from Breadtalk
- 1 small cup Alive yogurt - banana and pear (super yummy!)
- Probably a few pieces of the Mixed fruit later

Day 25 of 50
Oh my gosh, 25 days has already gone by...
I jogged for about 40 minutes, well, okay I'll be honest, I was gone for 40 minutes, but I only jogged for 20-25 mins and the rest of the time, I was busy catching my breath.
I learned one thing, never eat chilis before jogging. While I was jogging, I was soooo distracted by the heat inside my stomach, and at one point, I felt like running really fast-to get to the toilet!
Anyway, here's what I ate:
- 1 pack dewberry
- 1 six inch parmessan bread with turkey breast and mayo from Subway
- 1 six inch honey oat bread with tukey breast, honey mustard and chili!

Day 24 of 50
Finally, I was able to go swimming.
I don't know why, but suddenly I was a bit afraid of the water. Might be because the water current was strong, yes, water current. Somehow, it felt like it was pushing me to the other direction.
Anyway, I carried on and swam for an hour. By the 65th minute, I really wanted to pee already, so I gave up and went to the toilet to pack up (but pee first).
Here's what I ate today:
- 1 pack rebisco wheat cracker
- 1 pack toasted cashew nuts
- Crystal Jade lunch : Almost a bowl of yang chow fried rice, 3 tablespoons of spicy beef fried rice, 2 pieces of roasted pork, about 3 pcs of duck (with someo of the fat, oh no!), 1 siomai, 1 hakaw, 2 matchbox sizes of carrot cake
- 1 tuna sandwich from subway
- 1 Alive yogurt (Apple and pomelo)

Day 23 of 50
Monday, everybody I know hates this day.
At the start of the day, I could already tell that I would be able to leave at 6PM. Woo-hoo! Swimming! But then, my colleague, whom I haven't talked to lately, asked if we could go out and talk.
Well it was fine with me, I was thinking that if I got home by 9, I would still have an hour left to workout. But then again, we went to Holland Village. A far place known for its unique ambiance (the area is an old town, with I guess as little renovations as possible), and then there are a lot of restaurants that you wouldnt find anywhere else.
I was craving for pasta, risotto, or anything Italian, so we chose this Italian resto called 211 Roof Terrace Cafe. I ate the lobster ravioli in something mousse and something bisque.
The dish was okay lah, but nothing spectacular. The lobster pieces were just inside the ravioli. I mean, the lobster was alone inside, so the flavor was actually incorporated into the sauce. I counted 6 medium sized raviolis, which cost me SGD19.50.
Anyway, I got home around 11PM already, so totally no workout.
Here's what I ate
- 1 Red Ribbon mamon (From my RM who just got back from his business trip)
- 1 piece pineapple tart (the leftover from Chinese new year)
- Thai for lunch: stir-fried chicken with chili (lots of it that I was forced to order a can of coconut juice) and fried egg.
- Lobster Ravioli

Day 22 of 50
It's a Sunday, a day to wake up supah late.
I had full intentions of going to the gym for an hour of workout, but lo and behold, it rained! And not just your regular drizzle, but real downpour (in fact, it was so hard that my flatmate's 2-pc sampay got wet, and I didn't tell her. teehee)
Anyway, I didn't want to walk all the way to the gym under an umbrella. So I waited a bit, but the rain didn't show any signs of stopping. So I just took an afternoon nap. A rare occurence, since it's my second time to do so since I came to Singapore 10 months ago.
When I woke up, I got myself ready for dinner with my friends at Marche, Vivo City.
Here's what I ate today:
- 1 tetrapak blackcurrant Ensure
- 1 pack wheat cracker
- 1 pack Dewberry (2pcs)
- 1 large bowl of chicken with fresh vegetables in tomato sauce
- 1 fresh lemonade

I've Lost Weight!
Or an inch or two.
It's not confirmed, since I haven't measured nor weighed myself. I feel that it might be too early. If I do it now, and realise that I haven't actually lost any, having finished 3 weeks, I would feel depressed. So, I think I'll pass first. Rake more compliments before I actually do it.
So far, my friend said that I've already lost weight. Which I also agree.
My lovehandles have shrunk, now there's none of the ugly bulge on top of my undies.
Two of my office pants are comfortable to wear again.
Okay, so only two points for now, but not to worry, I still have about 29 days to go.

Day 21 of 50
Finally, I was able to go back to the gym for almost an hour of workout.
But then, the calories I shed might have been offset by the dinner I had at Crystal Jade.
Here's what I ate:
- 1 'fruits of the forrest' ensure milkshake style drink
- 1 two-piece pack of dewberry
- 1 bowl of Yong tau foo (Broccoli, pechay, fishball, crab claws, fried fishcake with cheese)
- 100 grams of hawthorn sticks
- From Crystal Jade : 1 bowl Yang Chow fried rice, about 5-6 pcs of cuttlefish, 3pcs prawns with soya steamed egg

Day 20 of 50
This is a disgrace! I didn't workout again. I have no excuse for today except sheer laziness. I chose to eat dinner at subway instead.
Well, well, well, I guess I'm left with no choice but to workout tomorrow and Sunday.
What I ate today:
- 1 pack blueskies crackers
- 1 pc 'jolly' cookie
- 1 grilled fish set at Wisma (but fish was actually fried, and when you order it, they grill it again and pour a lot of terriyaki-like sauce). The set also contained some vegetables, thin scrambled egg with curry sauce and rice.
- 1 6-inch turkey breast sandwich with cheese and lettuce, cucumber and tomato. For the sauce, I chose the vinigiarette
- 1 cup Alive banana and pear yogurt (Yum, my favorite brand. It's creamy and delicious)

Day 19 of 50
I had lunch at Wisma today with a friend.
Since I enjoyed my steamed rice set the other day, I ordered that one again. Whoa! The spareribs were so tough, my jaws were sore from chomping. Just like that, I'm turned off with their set meal. I shouldn't have eaten in twice in a week.
Okay, so here's what I ate:
- 1 steamed rice set (steamed chicken and mushroom, steamed egg, spareribs with veggies soup)
- 5 pcs chewy junior bread sticks
- 2 pcs pork siomai
- 1 chicken siopao
- 1 pack Dewberry (2 pcs)
- 1 boiled tea egg
No workout because I was sick this morning.

Again, No Workout because I still have my period. Yipee! But tomorrow, I have to go jogging. That excuse will no longer be acceptable.

Monday. Start of the work week.
Surprisingly though, I was able to leave work at around 8, so I was still able to jog.

- 3 small traingular packs of wasabi nuts (broad beans and green peas)

Chocolates for Heart's Day
One thing I like about *toooot* (the company I'm working with), is that monthly, we receive a freebie.Now these are budgetted freebies, because there's thousands of employees, so it's quite reasonable.
And every month, there's a different theme. One time, we received a healthy snack pack with nuts and dried fruits.
One time, we had New Zealand ice cream, to help us cool down. For Christmas, we had a Christmas sock with chocolate kisses inside.
For Valentines, we received a box of chocolates. But, ofcourse! It's the obvious thing to give.
The thing was, there were about 12 boxes with a letter inside. Whoever gets the letter will have a free dinner for 2 at a grand hotel.
Too bad I didn't get the letter, but I enjoyed the Belgium chocolates. So much that I exceeded the quota of 2 pieces per day.
Day 14 of 50 (Forgive Me, For I Have Sinned)
Saturday, my favorite day!
I had a pack of seaweeds to start my day. Not much help though, since it's so thin, that you're like eating air (an exaggeration ofcourse).
Anyway, the plan for today was to spend the afternoon swimming with my friend, then watch a movie in the evening. The eating part comes in between the activities, as always.
These are the things I ate today:
- 1 pack seaweeds
- Seafood soup (2 shrimps, 1 crabstick, 1 sliced fished, 2 pcs fried fish, fried tofu skin) and 1 cup rice
- 1 jelly juice
- 1 small carton of low fat milk
- 1 bowl congee (cubed century egg with sliced fish)
- 2 pcs scallop and shrimp dumpling
- 1 pc chives dumpling
- A few pieces of roasted soy beans in Chili Lime flavor (from Mr. Bean)
- My sin: 1 piece japanese cheesecake (the small pancake sandwich), with cream cheese filling!
Next week, I have to workout Double-time!

Day 9 of 50
Huhuhu. *sob* * sniff sniff*
I think I may have ruined my diet (a bit).
In fairness to me, I have been pretty disciplined for the past few days. I just feel like my monthly period is coming up, so I can't resist eating, and I can't stop myself from craving sweet and salty stuff.
Darn, to think I rushed home to swim for 45 mins, just to offset what I ate.
Okay, so here's what I ate:
- 1 pack Blueskies crackers
- 1 Glass of milk
- 1 Fish soup with rice
- 2 very small packs of growers garlic peanuts (47 calories each pack)
- 4 pcs nougat (2 crispy and 2 soft)
- 1 pc wholemeal bread with pork floss
- 1/2 ham and cheese sandwich (my colleague gave me)
- 1 pack seaweeds (35 cal)
- 1 big pack seaweed, as see above (350 cal!!!!!)
- 2 pcs banana
Huhuhu.

It's a Sunday!
My second rest day. But I had to go to work to finish a special project.
So, in order to sleep longer (until 11:30), I didn't push thru with my plan to either go to the gym or swim.
I basically went out to lunch, went to work, and had dinner.
These are what I ate:
- Fish soup with beehoon
- About 14 pcs of honey roasted almonds
- 1 pc of Indian style ukoy (Probably just starch and spices. Shown above, on top of the round calves)
- Cafe Cartel fish and chicken meal - grilled dory fillet and grilled chicken with bolognese pasta

- About 10 pcs of gummi bear
- 1 pack seaweed, about 35 calories

Day 7 of 50
Day 7, Saturday, My favorite day of the week.
I woke up almost 1 PM. Actually, I was already well rested by 12noon, by I sort of forced myself to get some more sleep.
When I got up, I lazed around and ate my breakfast, in preparation for my gym.
I was thinking of swimming instead. But honestly, I don't feel like wearing my swimsuit during broad daylight.
So after I ate my breakfast, I read a few chapters from my new book and allowed the food to be digested. Then, I trudged down to the gym for an hour of cardio and weights - the usual: treadmill, rowing, leg pushes, weight for my arms, and stair master.
What I ate today:
- 2 pcs of wholemeal bread with pork floss
- 1 pc. Del monte banana (imported from the Philippines)

Family International Buffet
Shown here are the 1st and 3rd plate.
1st plate is where the gluttony took place. I took 1 pc tempura, 1 pc chicken wing, 1 chicken nuggets, 1 nonya crab, 1 chawan mushi, 2 pieces fish fillet with sweet and sour sauce, 1 prawn dumpling, 1 chicken siew mai, 4 pieces steamed shrimp with vermicelli, 1 serving of brocolli leaves and crab with sharks fin soup. Oh, and 2 pcs of fried dory fillet with a wedge of lemon.
2nd plate, I took some shrimp salad, apple salad, 2 pcs abalone, 1 small piece of Mexican grilled fish, 1 pc sushi, 3 steamed prawns,1 black pepper crab, 1 very small piece chicken curry and 1 small piece fish head curry.
3rd plate, I took 2 slices of watermelon, 1 mango pudding, shrimp salad and Guava. Plus a super bitter herbal jelly with honey (supposedly good for the skin).
I drank 1 cup green tea and 1 cup blackcurrant tea.
Day 5 and 6 of 50
Day 5 and 6, so fast...
On Day 5, I ate:
- 1 pack frooties shortcake biscuit
- 1 glass milk
- Chinese Mixed Rice for lunch (Like our turo-turo, you just have to point what dish you like. I chose 3 - Steamed fish, greens and okra. SGD4)
- 3 slices wholemeal bread with pork floss
- 1 small cup peach yogurt (after workout)
- 1 slice wholemeal bread
- 1 small pack preserved mangoes (the pickled type)
I half jogged and half ran the stretch from Chiltern Park (my condo), to like, a cross away from Aljunied, an entirely different community. Then I bought some products for household use (toilet duck, anti-bacterial liquid, etc). I walked all the way back to the condo, lugging around the heavy grocery items.
Day 6.
I ate:
-1 pack Blue Skies plain crackers
-Yong tou fu and rice. I chose mostly vegetables for my soup.
- 20 pieces of honey roasted Growers peanuts
- Buffet at ' Family International Buffet', in Ngee Ann City. (My colleague treated me, so how could I resist) .
-From the buffet dishes, I chose mostly seafood, and non-fried items. Well, except for the fried crab and chicken nuggets. Then, for drinks, I drank tea instead of cool and sweet drinks. To top it all off, I did not eat ice cream nor their tiny cakes. Instead, I feasted on Guava with plum powder. (Yum, I never appreciated Guava this much, and I'm not being fake here. Guava will taste so much better with plum powder).
I got home past 11pm already, so it was too late to do any workout. So, I decided to do a crazy thing. I went out of the condo vicinity and walked. Nobody was in sight, it was quite scary because, as the Singapore Government warns: 'Low crime does not mean no crime '.
I was turning around once in a while to check if anyone was following me.

Day 4 of 50
Surprisingly, it was a very light day at work. I was bored actually, which is a rare occurence considering my line of work (customer service), where I'm always up and about.
So, I was able to leave the office early. By 630PM, I was already out and on my way to the MRT.
_
I got home around 730PM, ironed a few pieces of pants and changed for my workout today - swimming!
So, I stayed about an hour in the pool. This time, I didn't just float around, I really swam. Swam so hard until my arms couldn't paddle anymore.
Today, I ate:
4 pcs of wholemeal bread with potted meat (1 for breakfast and 3 for dinner at 6PM)
1 glass of milk
1 fish soup
1 order of rice (slightly bigger than the normal serving)
3 gummi bears
1 pc of wholemeal with pork floss (after swimming)
1 ponkan
This is getting more interesting, I just hope I can keep it up.

Day 3 of 50
Day 3.
I had Yong Tou Fu for lunch. It's not a brand, but more of a stall name which describes what they are selling. Almost all food hall or hawker centres would have them.
Basically, you get to choose 7 items (from an array of ingredients that are mostly vegetables and does not contain pork or lard). The price would likely be 4-4.30, regardless of what you choose. Then, you have to decide whether you want it in soup, with noodles ( sgd 0.50), with rice (same) or with noodles but with gravy (their sauce) instead.
I chose mostly vegetables and some fish balls to taste. All in all, it was a delightful and refreshing meal. But a couples hours after, I was already famished. Sigh.
These are what I are today:
1 pack of Blue Skies crackers for breakfast
1 glass of Nesvita milk
1 bowl of yong tou fu with rice
1 pc shrimp dumpling
2 slices of wholemeal bread with potted meat
1- 500 ml diet lassi ( it claims to have 30kcal only)
1 ponkan
1 slice of bread with pork floss (not yet eaten, but I will, after I post this)

Day 1 of 50 (Part 2)
Finally, it was dinner time. A reason to eat.
I decided to try this restaurant that I've been eyeing for quite some time. It's Superlicious, located at Suntec City Mall.
They only had 4 soups left, beef something, chicken and corn, cream of mushroom and minestrone. I, ofcourse, chose minestrone because it sounds healthy, plus I like minestrone.
I thought the soup bowl was small, so I added 3.90 to turn it into a complete meal. I added a cheezy tuna sandwich (in foccacia bread) with a side salad of fresh fruits in mayonnaise (or some sort of cream that I don't recognise).
It was a filling meal, though I felt guilty because I should have just ordered the soup. To compensate, I just drank half cup of iced tea because I don't want to take in too much sugar as well.
All in all, it was a pretty successful first day.
Day 1 of 50
I ate 2 packs of Rebisco Whole Wheat Crackers for breakfast. While waiting for those to be digested, I lazed around and read a book I bought yesterday from the Carre Four book sale at Suntec City.
About 30 minutes after, I went to the gym and did my usual routine - treadmill, legs push, arm weights, rowing and stairmaster.
Man, all those eating sure slowed me down. I was still able to do an hour of continuous workout, but then I was a bit dizzy on some parts (mostly while doing the treadmill and stairmaster).
After gym, I went back to my room to rest a bit. While resting, I ate a few pieces of gummi bears, like 10.
Then, for lunch, I went to Novena for my favorite fish soup but without the rice. *Sob* =(.
I felt I had to treat myself, so I bought a stick of sliced fruits ($1.20) and a slice of papaya ($0.70).
Why and How
Why:
While I was on leave from work, I let myself go and ate all the things that I liked. I knew that I was going to do this diet thing. So, in a way, I ate and ate to gain weight. I wanted to know if I could lose it all within a time period, just like what celebrities do. Well, minus the big bucks, south beach diet, personal chef and personal trainers, that is.
How:
1. I'm going to cut down on a lot of stuff. From now on, NO more (or super minimal):
1.1. Junk food (chips and sweets like chocolates, cakes, milkshakes)
1.2. 'Fastfood' food. Goodbye to McDonalds, Mos Burger, KFC, Burger King and Carl's Jr.
1.3. Fried food.
1.4. Carbonated drinks, even those Isotonic blah blahs.
2. I'm going to lessen intake of rice and carbs (white bread and pasta).
3. I'm going to drink lots of green tea (which is free in the office pantry, woo-hoo!) because it supposedly helps with the matabolism.
4. I'm going to the gym twice a week, go jogging twice a week, and do daily small exercises like squats, push-ups, tricep dips and crunches. And probably some aerobic moves too, to help loosen up the muscles.
