Detox Week - Day 6

Okay, the reason that's keeping me from eating any sort of food is that I have been keeping myself at home like a Hermit. There's nothing you can find in this house. Nothing.

Apart from the snacks that I brought back from Thailand and Japan, not even an instant noodle pack can be found on my drawer.

Which is kinda sad. Because when hungry creeks, those snacks are the only thing I attack.

Well, at least after a week of "Detoxing", I have nothing left in the house to eat. I still crave for chocolates though.

Breakfast: 5 Cookies

Lunch: 3 Cookies

Dinner: half a plate of pesto pasta + half a regular thin crust cheesy pizza (oh did I mention that despite me declaring a Hermit, friends never fail to ask me out for a drink, dinner, lunch, or movie every DAY! So yea, I have to narrow it down to one person per meal a day)

I should really get more fruits.


On day 6, I finally manage to wheel in enough butt energy to move myself down to the gym located downstairs to try out the 8/12 regime that was suggested before.

What is the 8/12 you say? There's a link in the previous post if you want to read the full article.

But basically, it suggests that instead of doing mundane exercise over a stretch of hours, or considerable long period of time in exercise sense (2 hours is very long); one should cut down on exercising hour, but do an alternate sprinting and slow pedalling.

Means, you max out your cycling process for 8 seconds (pedal as fast as your legs can bring you) and slow down for 12 seconds, then sprint for 8 seconds again. Repeat the process for 20 minutes. And the best part, only do it three times a week.

Claims to have "Triple the fat loss in half the time" effect.

Well, it might sound easy. But god! Try it and you will know why. This regime nearly killed me. And I only did it for 13 minutes. I reached the house feeling a bit pukey.

Will make up my 7 minutes today (which maybe will stretch it to 10 minutes).

Keep your fingers crossed, I don't ask for much, just 2 kg loss at the end of the week? :D

Detox Week - Day 1

Going from a normal eating habit to a food-less one can be one of the toughest task to achieve, not to mention the toughest habit to kick.

I woke up in the morning drinking enough water to keep me hydrated. Till now, I refrain from installing a set of curtain in my living room (that's where I normally sleep despite owning a queen size bed in my bed room) because the sun light helps me maintain a healthy sleeping hour.

I wake up at 7 or 8 every morning, occasionally will dive into my Ikea blanket till 10am but that will be the maximum, that's when I wake up, go online, and see what's new in the world today.

As noon hit, I found myself snacking little-ly from my Japan snack box. Being a traveller, everything found around the house are imported. They are either from Japan, Korea, Vietnam, Thailand, or any other country that I have travelled to in recent times.

A friend visited in the evening to help me format my PC, which has a bug to it. But in the end we ended having dinner outside and there goes my food-less day 1.

Morning & Afternoon: Two Pockys box

Evening: A plate of creamy seafood Alfredo (not so good for my dietary)


Exercise: Nil.

Can't be bothered to weigh myself today.

I don't deem to starve myself instantaneously, reducing food intake till I manage to hit complete detox seem more appropriate. Tomorrow is another day, another challenge.

Damn those chocolate looks so tantalising.
