  1. Had a Japanese buffet and over ate.
  2. Has a full sized snickers candy bar.
  3. Had carbohydrates for dinner for 5 out of 7 days.
  4. Had a Korean hot pot dinner which I over ate again.
  5. had 2 red bean ice-cream on sticks.
  6. Had 3 heavy lunches.
  7. Had one snickers ice cream bar.
  8. Had one caramel almond pretzel.
  9. Had 3 oil soaked curry puff.
  10. Had 2 cans of non-diet soft drinks.

WEEK 12
The target for this final week is simple, but challenging. 9 hours of exercise for the entire week. It can be as little or as many sessions as I want. So long as I collectively clock 9 hours.

TARGET SET - WEEK 11

STATUS
Weight: 101Kg
CP for week 10: 65%
Reflection: I did go to the gym this week. Once. I was rather delighted late this week when I finally was able to do one proper chin up. Yay for me. That is really good news. This is the first chin up I could do in 7 years. yup... that long.

So. 2 weeks left. To meet my target, I have to lose 2Kg in 2 weeks. That would be a rather tall order. But I will try anyway. I won't give up reaching for my targeted goal just yet. A lot of things can happen in 2 weeks.

TARGET SET - WEEK 10

STATUS

Weight: 101Kg
CP for week 9: 50%
Reflection: I did not go to the gym at all this week again. Again because of work...work..work. My weight did reduce this week though. I was expecting it to go down because all week I did not have much for dinner. I was more concerned about finishing my work and getting out of the office, and by the time I reached home, I was too tired to eat, so I just slept.

So once again, I am setting a very shallow target for this week. I'm determined to not stay back so late for work every single day. Twice to the gym.

Week 10. I have 3 more weeks to lose 2 Kg. I still believe I can make it. A little more discipline with the food part of the program and a little more effort to fulfill the exercise part of the program. That ought to do it.

Segue: I think you are a fantastic woman Bambi. Don't let negative words get you down. Chin up, move forward. March...one two three four...two two three four!

Thank God I Can Go Home At 9pm

That was the thought I had today.
How screwed up is that?
----
I have been pulling 14 hour days for 2 weeks now to clear the mess others made.
----
I hardly have time to do actual work during regular hours with all the friggin meetings i have to attend. My email quota blew up ages ago and before I could clear it, I was chided because their email bounced when it was addressed to me.
----
I think I was a tad rude when I just handed them my card (containing my mobile number) and told them to call me directly if they had anything important, and I walked off.
-----
I was eating my lunch only to have my personal space invaded by work questions. But this time round, I was rather diplomatic and told them my chicken was getting cold. They got the drift. Thankfully.
-----
So here I am back home at 2136 typing out my frustrations because I managed to complete my action items by 2100hrs. I just shook my head when the "Thank God I can go home at 9pm" thought entered my mind. I muttered..I am one sick puppy to have thoughts like these.
-----
tired... woof woof woof.....zzzzzzzz

TARGET SET - WEEK 9

STATUS
Weight: 102Kg
CP for week 8: 40%
Reflection: I did not go to the gym at all this week. I must say it is not due to laziness, it was due to work. I was out of the office at 8pm on average, dead tired. All I wanted to do each night was just bathe and sleep. I did not even have the mental capacity to enjoy my comic books, it was straight to bed. That was how tired I was. I did however, do the RT because well... that was forced on me. It was tough, it was pretty much run run run for 2 hours. It was not continuous, but on average, I jogged about 5km each time.

My weight did not reduce this week, I was just happy it did not go up again. Another thing I want to try this coming week is the limiting of carbohydrates in each of my meals. This is not so much for me to lose weight. I feel tired and lethargic after meals that are heavy on rice. I will shave some portions off in hope that I will be more alert and productive this coming week. From the looks of my back log in work, I would very much be happy if I could just squeeze in 2 sessions of gym this coming week realistically speaking.

Alright. Crunch time. The very last month and I have to lose 3Kg. I know I can do it. Despite not being able to go to the gym as often as I have previously, I believe I will be able to make the cut if I make changes to the way I eat, what I eat, when I eat and most importantly the amount I eat. This could very well be a good experiment. One more month folks, ALL THE WAY!
