Food and Skin
Your diet affects your skin.
According to the article here.
Green tea and red wine helps prevent wrinkles.
Drinking water helps hydrate the skin but healthy fatty acids such like Omega 3 helps retain it onto the skin.
Apparently sugar and chocolate are bad for the skin, not only they work the effect the opposite of green tea, they'll make your skin ages faster. Woe is me~ :(
Same goes with coffee, spicy food, alcohol and stress. There goes all the beauty in life.
Which explains why we South East Asians grow old so fast!
We eat all the bad stuff and stop ourselves from eating healthy fats.

Wise Advice from a Model/Actress
"When I was skinny and in really great shape...see the profile pic!...I warmed up for 20 mins, did strength training for 1-1.5 hours then cardio/treadmill for another 1-2 hours EVERY SINGLE FREAKIN' DAY. But, that was at the beginning of last year. Since then...I've been lazy."
A friend was describing about her exercise regime as an artiste to me. And went on,
"But, I need to get into shape again. Thank God my fat only goes to my face and my tummy. My arms, legs, butt and hips stay the same."
And this is how she looks like now.
Fat?! What fat?!
Okay, now I feel ashamed.

Cornettos Overload
Been staying with the Cornetto Love? Perhaps contestants for three weekends now.
And my god, they have a freaking fridge full of UNLIMITED supply of Cornettos in the house. Like literally, the fridge you see from supermarket or grocery stores (kedai runcit).
Everyday eat ice creams, I ate one so far. Can bring back as many as I want~~ o.O If I want. o.O!!!!!!
Will upload photos soon when I finally edit the video and post it in www.cornetto.com.my.
Love being a blogger. Diet diet, so many hot guys must control diet.

The most hurtful thing I heard today
Friend: Shouldn't you be getting to work
Me: Yes, will do in a bit.
Friend: You should sleep early Nicole...
Me: But I usually sleep at 2am.
Friend: That's why you can't lose weight?!
I know I should have a more proper sleeping regime, I know I should follow a better diet plan, I know I should have more determination and gym more.
But I'm only human! I'm not perfect!
It still hurts to hear that from you.
Do you only like me better when I put on my make up and look 5 kg lighter?
Me: Yes, will do in a bit.

Back to Basic
There you go.
It's all back to starting point.
Back to sucking in tummy and hopping around in my jeans which I obviously cannot fit into.
Back to gym gym and more gym, and fretting about not getting enough gym.
Few days back in hometown, few days of pampering and food force stuffed into my mouth because I was sick and I HAD to eat.
I'm back at the original weight I started at.
Plsss.. don't ask me the exact digits.
I shall go and kill myself now.
Bye.

Hometown Fear
One thing I'm terrified of coming back to my hometown is that I get overly pampered at home.
Mom cooks for me three times a day, with the help of the maid. My maid helped me do my laundry and wash my car. Because I hardly come back, my dad always stock up a lot of tit bits and junk food in the fridge just for me, and freshly cut fruits are always ready to be hand-picked from bowls.
Then they will cook a lot of nice herbal soup and make lots of honey lemon juice just to sooth my sorethroat. To see me better. And finish off with a hearty dinner I can't finish.
It's sweet.
But all I do is sleep and eat. That's it.
o.O when can I go to the gym~ Help~

Oh Bugger
Was sick for one and a half day, weigh myself today.
I gained two kgs...
WTF?
Is this water retention? Or simply because I couldn't move for two days and was simply eating and sleeping?
I ate a wrap for breakfast yesterday, a bag of chips and a handful of raisins last night.
Argh! Hate being sick.
Jogging tomorrow jogging tomorrow~~ Jog until I die...

On a roll, lose more lose more....
Clubbing is definitely one way to slim down.
It's fun, stress-releasing (yes I do have stress if you don't know) and you're unaware of the time you're working out when you're dancing away. Oh yea~
But my feet hurts so much. :(
And I really hate second hand smoke. They should ban indoor smoking like Ireland. Damnit.
Note: I lost another kg again. Yea me~

Open for Ideas
What do you do when you ran out of motivation to get going in the gym?
I mean I probably has the least determination person in the world. Usually it takes me 3 days to really gather myself to actually press the lift in my jogging shoes to hit the gym.
And it will take me another 3 gym trips to make me stay in gym for more than 10 minutes.
And the cycle goes.
I mean, gym is more boring. Why can't disco be a way to work out? Why??? Can it not?
BTW, I'm heading out to Zouk tonight. And I still have one assignment to finish. Damnit...
I'm open for ideas? Anyone share with me? Plss~~~

Who say clubbing isn't a work out?
Lies, all lies.
Disco dancing is such an exercise.
Oh yea, Zouk last Saturday. Andy the captain. Nicole the kinky school girl. ^^
I can't feel my legs or hands and any bone in my body right now. Even though it has been two days!! (1 1/2 days la to be exact)
Bah. Cannot go gym la today.
Legs so pain how to jog?
Hands so pain how to lift weights? (not that I usually do)
Whole body so pain how to walk to the lift and press button down?
Just gonna sit and home and do crunches today. My tummy not pain, but it's hungry. -.-;;

I Like The Days After PMS
I miraculously lost back one kg, and a further one kg after my period.
So that's a total of two Kgs lost in a day. :D Happy happy.
Water retention after PMS is no joke, especially for me.
Last night I treat myself to a sinful chocolate Bisou Cupcake.
I'm pretty sure I'm half a kg heavier today. Damn it, time to hit the gym.
My friend, Andy, dropped by on Sunday during the peak of my misery with his DSLR. I ended up in hundreds of snapshots with my pale, sickening look in his camera.

PMS
I hate period.
It means the hormones makes me unstable.
Sometimes PMS makes me wanna eat all the chocolates in the world, therefor ruining my diet.
Sometimes PMS makes me bloat like crazy, therefore looking like a fat water balloon.
Sometimes PMS makes me grumpy, sad, emotional and in need of love.
Sometimes PMS makes my uterus hurts like crazy, cold sweat spilling and I will just lie in bed whole day no moving, which is bad for my work out regime.
And this time,
PMS includes all of the above.
This is the worst PMS of all.
I am fat fat fat fat today.

Long Legged Beauties
Oh no!! My aunt who sells fantastically sweet red dragon fruits has gone to Sabah for a week's holiday!
Why am I left to do?! No!!
Yesterday I was browsing through the net for some playboy hot chicks. Don't ask me why, I just did.
And jesus, I just don't understand how SO many girls out there can maintain a HOT body.
And you know what places an important role in having a HOT HOT body. No, it's not having impressive bosoms.
It's not having tone abs either, yes you will look great if you have one. But most asians have flat, tone-less tummy. They still look HAWT.
Good looks are one thing. But then those can be enhanced with make ups and photoshop.
The one thing cannot change. The thing that every girl who has it out there take for granted. And think that being absolute gorgeous are all about the clothings and make ups.
No. In fact. Those things are.....
legs that run for miles!
Long, slim, slender, toned legs are soooo HAWT.
You guys must think I am joking. Surely looks play an important part. Seriously, how many of you notice the face in the photo above at first glance?
If I have not made my point, look at this photo again.
Tell me again what are you looking at.
See see, I told you. It's the leg!! It's all about the leg.
Having long legs, you even look hot wearing the most casual outfit on the street WITH a simple short pants and you will still look incredibly HOT!!
Sigh... If only I am blessed with long legs. But since I am not. I guess the only way is to exercise and tone up my legs, lots of massages on the calves, less heels for now, not so much intense work out to prevent calves stiffness. Losing few pounds helps too, I realised that when I was lighter.
But if I have long legs, man I can wear leggings like this!
And NOT like this

Gym, Determination and Movies
Today I went down to the gym,
and did a 5 minutes work out on the cycle.
5 Minutes!!
Well, better than nothing they say. I still feel stiff legs after that.
Dang it, it gets harder and your goal and determination seemed to drift further and further away as the day goes by.
These are the times when I fool myself by asking why there are girls out there, who don't need to work out much, eat smart (but don't really have to watch what they're eating); and then MAYBE I, too, can be like that.
And then I slack off.
*slap self*
Damn it, Nicole. YOU are different!! You are not blessed with a fit and slim figure or miraculously high metabolism rate and THEREFORE move that ARSE and work out babe!!
I am waiting for my dragon fruits to arrive.
Been putting off chocolates for some time but it gets tougher every day. I admit, I still do eat some chocolates every now and then (it's not easy swearing off addiction over night, or in a month); but at least I'm not having them all at one go.
I heard about one such Movie Therapy where by you watch chick flicks everyday (especially those with lots of hot babes in skimpy bikinis flaunting their tanned skin and delicious assets enough to make you wanna be them). This, usually will have two outcomes.
One, you will gather enough motivation EVERYDAY to work it out and be as HOT as those crazy hollywood stars and even enough determination to swear off junk food or sinful desserts.
Orrrr, two. You'll be so demoralised that you'll binge like nobody's business.
Choose...
I think I'll get a DVD player tomorrow.

I am Guilty. Dragon Fruits Save it All.
Yes I am. So guilty. Guilty as charged.
Is this the 7th? 8th? or is it 9th day of my detox? Gosh, I totally lost track. I don't think I ever follow it, coz you know what? It's just too difficult when your friends are asking you out every day for lunch and dinner.
The temptation is too much!
And it's rude to say no.
But... Ah... all is not lost.
Guess what? That 8/12 regime I mentioned. It really worked!!
I lost a total of...
*deng deng deng*
1 KG wtf
but but but... wait.. listen to me...
I only ever did it ONCE. YES ONCE!! It really works!!! And, I didn't even go on a detox diet. Not strictly anyway. I follow a one meal per day diet, and some fruits and snacks (though slightly unhealthy ones) during other times.
Oh, and I realised, sweet red dragon fruits are awesome detox food. They cleanse your system faster than you nearby drug store's laxatives can. And they're delicious too. And and and... they really 'pangs' those hunger. It's a fantastic snack and food.
I'm placing an order of 10 red delicious dragon fruit from my aunt, who grew a heck of sweet and large juicy dragon fruits. Yum Yum.
Can't wait for my next dragon fruit diet. I think I am getting a hang of this.

Why do I create this blog?
This blog serves one sole purpose, to control and keep a record of my diet.
Yes, I am aware that I have gained a cosiderable amount of weight since early this year.
By considerable, it's 7 kg to be exact. And red light is blinking. If I do not take any precautions, I might even end up obese (if I am not already).
Lucky for some people, it is almost impossible for them to gain weight; as for others, gaining weight is only up to a certain limit.
Unfortunate for me, there is no limit.
I remember returning from England almost 3 years ago being 10 kg heavier than when I left. It was a serious issue for me, and I was desperate to lose weight.
If I do not take heed, god knows how heavy I am going to end up, maybe 100kg?
You might say I am shallow, or I am vain. Who isn't?
You might even say I am a fashion victim to be in this slim aneroxic world. Well to be frank, I am concern. I am concern how people look at me and I am concern about my appearance. And I know that when I am not happy about my appearance, or that my appearance does not give me confidence I need, and I can't take it as how it is and accept that fact that I am still beautiful though I'm fat; then it is time to do something about myself, is it time to change.
I am not sure about the ethics behind true beauty. I know that I want to do this for my own good, for health reasons and to serve as a confidence booster. Not for anyone else because I know my friends love me for who I am now even though I am chubby at the moment. :)
So why can't I lose weight?
