Enough is enough !
12:30:00 AM
You know today it startled me. How my battle with the bulge has made me a very unhealthy person. What started out as a quest to lose the extra 3kg i piled on during the honeymoon has turned into a weight-loss frenzy. Well actually not really, considering i still eat the occasional pizza or buffets at Straits Kitchen.But what spooked me these past few weeks is that i really feel loco. To point of crickety joints, sore back and feeling shivery at night. I mean shivering when poor Naz is sweating his butt off next to me. It was weird. I was thinking to myself, HOW did i get myself here? I used to go years without falling ill. I mean of course maybe the odd bout of flu here and there but that was it. But now, i fall ill at the merest bacteria that happens to hover around my small nose!
Then comes the realisation this morning that perhaps i might have taken this dieting shite a bit too far. A strict diet that includes drinking loads of oo-long tea which by the way is actually good for cooling the body down. However, ironically, today my colleague who introduced me to the tea told me drinking it too much will cause your joints to cramp up because supposedly the tea makes your body 'too cold'. Yeah i know. Go figure! So, in my frenzy to get rid off those extra pounds, drinking that tea after every meal is a requisite, a must of sorts. Perhaps now thhaaaattt explains those cranky joints eh?
But with realisation comes a mental click. It's amazing how the mind works you know. You want something badly but if you don't want it bad enough, you won't do it. It's that simple. Something just clicked in my head this morning that i have to eat healthily instead of thinking of just shedding the excess weight. Dieting will no longer do. I think at my age, it has to be combined with physical activity. Read: the dreaded word EXERCISE. Oh yeah! *eeks*
And guess what? I did eat healthily and miraculously i didn't crave for that pasta/pizza/chicken pie or whatever that attracts my attention as i no longer desire for them. Cool ain't it? Even in the near future, if i happen to crave for all those things, i'm not going to stop myself. Restricting yourself would be worse i think. A case of forbidden fruit i suppose. Whoever coined that phrase is right. The more you can't have something, the MORE you want it. So heck, just give yourself a break and eat that slice of pizza. :)
Insya'allah, from this day forth i will strive to nourish my body, mind and soul instead of just mindlessly trying to lose that weight. More beef to rev up this long-suffering engine of a body, more milk for stronger teeth & bones, exercise
*yes hun, i will go running with you* and LESSER ciggies. Yes, i *am* cutting down on em' ciggies. They just make me feel lethargic nowadays. Heh. My pocket's going to smile a lot more i tell you.
Age's catching up baby.
So everyone, start taking care of your body before it's too late. Don't be like me ; Start young. Your body's the only vessel you'll have till you reach the afterworld.
P.S.>>> Don't i sound like a darn Health Promotion Board advert? My pal at the ad agency would be sOOoo proud!
Wish me luck!
Honestly,

I have to admit. The reason behind the infinite laziness is probably due to the utter boredom of staring at the same ole blogskin for months now. And since, this lazy girl has the time to do something about it, she might as well get off her lazy buttocks to change her dusty skin for a brand new one.
Hence, presenting a "Brand New Day". Heh. I related to this skin you know. Usually that's how i choose these blogskins. Something to reflect the current state of my life. So, this is where it's at baby! Every day is a BRAND NEW DAY! Ermm, haven't got the time to change the tagboard colour scheme though. Oh well, the black will have to do for now.In fact, some minor changes will be in store. Don't stay tuned. You have better things to do i'm sure.LOL.
*private joke*
Okay, down to business.
I had a blast. A blast from the past and the present, hopefully all the way to the distant future. Once again, it was a BLAST! Full of laughter, whacked-up jokes and loads of cooing for one poor baby muffled by soOo many loving arms and kisses.
Whatever do i mean?
Take a look...
*The very loved baby boy*
Of course, who could it be but Mr NazNaz himself?
* The girls *
* The boys *
* everyone altogether now *

Us...
As always,
the next trip, the next ride is LOOKED FORWARD to.
*heart heart*
