Lose 2KG w/o Exercising (Overview)

I'm very busy with Life these days. So I will break this topic down into parts.

OVERVIEW
1. Ban all soda, fruit juices and sports drinks from your life. Only WATER is acceptable.
2. Download MyFitnessPal to help you keep check of your calories.
3. Carbohydrates wise, white rice and noodles are not acceptable. You get your carbohydrates from wholemeal bread, rolled oats/oatmeal and sweet potatoes.
4. Each meal should contain a fruit, a vegetable, proteins/nuts and wholegrains in equal proportions. I find it hard to follow this in the morning (go without the vegetables for breakfast)
5. Even if you exercise, fix your calorie count as if you don't. In this way, the results will be more visible.

How to Lose 2 KG WITHOUT Exercising

This is a self-reminder to blog about how I went about losing 2KG without exercising :D I went for my mandatory health checkup at Raffles Medical. Utterly shocked to know that I dropped from 48kg to 46kg. I had been wanting to get into my ideal 46kg ever since I gained those 2kg in my JC days.

I've read up pretty extensively on different weight loss methods out of boredom and have tried various methods to shed those 2kg before (nothing drastic). I'm not overweight and this makes it even harder to lose weight. Plus, I'm seriously not athletic at all and am lazy to exercise. 

The breakthrough is definitely in June 2012. Thank goodness I 'shrank' 1cm to 161 during the checkup so that I'm seemingly 'healthier' by medical standards. But I'm still going to tell people I'm 162cm lol. P.S. I did not starve myself.

The food is no big deal. Over-rated! Won't go there again.

Maple Clinic (Blk 825 Tampines Avenue 1)

I could not take the state of my skin condition any longer and decided to pay a visit to Maple Clinic at Blk 825 Tampines Ave 1. The doctor who is 'famous' online is Dr Ong but I really didn't want to wait anymore. I went with Dr Serene Ang instead.

100 Things To Do Instead of Procrastinating on the Internet

Loved Gala Darling's recent entry on things to do instead of wasting time on the Internet. I like these specially.

1. Go through your entire closet & cull what isn't working for you. This includes anything that is the wrong colour, shape or size. It also includes anything that you TRULY KNOW you will never wear. Throw them in a suitcase & trundle it to your nearest consignment boutique.DONE.{Did this last month. Sold clothes to my closer friends & it felt good to have a 'cleaner' wardrobe!!!}
2. Call your best friend.
3. Go to the library.
4. Visit a department store and collect fragrance samples.

5. Stock up on stationery that makes your life happier.

REVIEW: SKINFOOD GOOD AFTERNOON APPLE CINNAMON TEA BB CREAM SPF 36

Shade 2

I bought this on a June Sunday after service. Skin79 didn't work for me and most BB creams are too fair for me. But I didn't learn my lesson & picked up THIS. Indeed, shade 2, the darker shade, is STILL too light for me *sigh*

Wrong shade aside, 

+ It does brighten up the face and evens out skin tone.

+ Smells good (I love the smell of green apples)

+ SPF 36 (crucial if you don't want to get those old-age spots in future)

NUFFNANG VS ADSENSE

Why Nuffnang over AdSense?
1. It works. My sister has received a SGD50 cheque from Nuffnang from daily blogging about personal life.
2. It is based in Asia. AdSense prefers non-Asian blogs.
3. It is well-known. Henceforth, it must work smoothly because they have a reputation to uphold.

Skin, Diet & Books

• Skin - The skin condition has improved visibly. When my skin is entirely clear, I'll blog about the exact procedure of how I went about doing it. Hope to use the entry as a reminder of what to do whenever I get breakouts again. TIP: ONCE YOU HAVE ANY PIMPLE, STOP USING LIQUID FOUNDATION. It clogs pores and makes it worse.
• Diet - Going on low sugar has been making me feel more awake and energized. FANCL Perfect Slim tablets may actually help to reduce cellulite (?)
• Books - Need to pick up some books soon: The Secret, Outliers, books on network marketing/multi-level marketing (MLM), the Industrial Revolution and alkaline water. All the contradicting information online about alkaline diet and water is making me very confused. I guess that is one of the disadvantages of online information. The Internet has made all the information freely & readily accessible to the average man down the street but it has also allowed anyone to pass off personal opinions as the ultimate truths & facts.

FANCL Haul & Reveiw

FANCL 

First of all, I have to rave about FANCL's customer service. The lady is SUPER patient and sweet. You can definitely tell that she doesn't do hard-selling (unlike the SA at Shu Uemura. I will leave that for another day). Even if their products may not be as effective, I will still go back due to the lady's awesome service. :D
