background

A confident woman. She knows what she wants and gets it. She is aware of her flaws, but she doesn’t obsess over them and instead thinks that maybe (just maybe) they actually add to her unique beauty. She is passionate. She loves life. She is comfortable in her own skin and owns her sexuality, but uses it purely for good. She does not see other women as her enemy and competes only with herself to do her best at all times and to be her best at all times. She is forthright, honest, disarmingly herself and tries to be no one else. She is having fun and she is sexy and you just want to be around her to soak up some of those good vibes. She isn’t perfect, but she doesn’t care because she is hot. And so are you.

Why Weight Loss Plateaus Are a Good Thing



For anyone who has lost weight, including yours truly, weight-loss plateaus are a real test of your resolve. Plateaus make you curse at your scale–and want to smash it–when it registers the same weight despite the fact that you’ve been running 5 miles a day and eating like a rabbit for a month. Plateaus frustrate you. They discourage you. They may even make you shed a few tears. They more weight you have to lose, the more plateaus you will likely encounter.

How can all that be a good thing, you might ask?

A weight loss plateau is like an intermission. What do people do during an intermission? They get up and move around to loosen stiff muscles. They go the restroom to answer the call of nature and freshen up. They get a snack (or a few snacks). They make phone calls. They chat with their friends about the movie or play they saw. Basically, they mentally and physically recharge before the next showing.

Think of your weight loss plateau as an “intermission”. Review your accomplishments to date, set new fitness goals and plan how to make those goals a reality. Instead of moping over your stagnant progress, tweak your diet and exercise regimen. What worked for you in the beginning is probably not enough to challenge a body that is now smaller in size, leaner, stronger and accustomed to the type of exercise you’ve been doing. It may be time to increase the intensity of your workouts or add new activities to challenge your body.

Start keeping a food journal (if you haven’t been keeping one). Write down what you eat every day. Seeing your daily food intake on paper will help you identify what areas of your diet may be hampering your progress. You’ll see if you’ve been eating more than you thought, as well as what foods you’re eating too much or too little of (i.e., not enough protein, too many carbs, etc.). You’ll also see if you’re not eating enough, period. Every time you eat, your metabolism kicks into gear to burn the calories. Eating too few calories a day slows down your metabolism–and your weight loss.

Last night, after 2hours doing workout at gym, my trainer, tegur i yg my body getting smaller & fit!!! dh xmacam mase mula2 dtg gym dlu (ms awal tahun ni)....chubby and weak...bleyh workout 1jam jew...but sejak sekarang dh leyh maintain until 2hours workout doing all types of exercise focus & xcungap2 dah...Yes! I'm getting more energy & stamina than usual...I pon xtahu nape skg jadi hyper active sgt...maybe sebab bdn dah rase ringan & kaki i yg kecik ni dh kurang penat support badan besar...

My trainer told me yg my fat loss lebih kurang 45% overall...dlm mase 2bulan losing 9kilo, thats the way losing weight permanently! When he observed my problems area, he said that my celullite getting vanished! my skin getting toned up...but some of area, the fat turns wobbly & lembik sebab lemak2 permanent yg keras dlu (i memang gemok dari azali) dh makin lembik & senang nk burn if i truskan workout lagi...Huh! biler dengar selulit makin samar, i rs mcm nk lompat setinggi2nyer...hepi yang xterkate!!! I know he wont lie to me sbb die mmg ckp direct..klo gemok2, gemoklah...klo kurus, kuruslah...Then blek dr gym last nite, i observed sendri my body and guess what??

Cheek: Baby fat cheek getting lose..kempis sket pipi ni

JawBone: Getting clear & jelas gler!! no more double chin

Neck: cool!! dh xde dah leher berkulit lipat2!!

Collarbone: makin nampak jelas & panjang gler...boleh takung air biler mandi...

Underarms: still flabby but getting smaller..

breast : hoh!! fit & shaped!

Abs: walaupon xde abs muscle lagi, it ok..sbb bende tu makan bertahun2 tuk buat..my perot makin kempis tapi lemak2 still boleyh cubit...a bit wobbly coz i'm in de process burning fat, my skin jadi lose sket causes of fat burning byk kt perut....my upper abs still brlemak, cume xgemok dlu...bi lower abs still buncit! hahaha! tang citulah yang susah nk burn lemak (muffin/ spare tyre) disebabkan lemak degil...sume org gemok menghadapi masalah yg same area citu...manakale side abs i getting more CURVY!! yeay! hampir getting my hourglass shape back!!

Waist: getting smaller sbb 'tayar' dh mengecik!! my jeans from size 36 turun 34 n now 32! marvellouskaannn??

bottom: hah! boleyh dibanggekan !! dh xselebar dlu!! kurang wobbly! kurang berat! easy to move around sbb dh ringan...yang best part of it, sumpah selulit banyak dh hilang & getting in shape seyh part ni...all of my jeans dh ade ruang kosong kt butt area..hahaha...

Peha: yer~ bahagian drumstick ni pon payah nk burn...tp skg dh mengecik sket...dlu pkai legging, nampak hodoh n besarlah peha ni...legging pon susah nk sarung sbb ketat sgt...pernah satu legging i koyak!! force sgt...tapi skg dh leyh sarung legging ari2 & sgt sekejap!! p gym ari2 pkai legging or fit shorts coz senang nk brgerak...xpanas...evrytime workout, bahagian ni i byk focus...xkire depan or belakang peha i will make sure sweaty & panas!

Lutut: lutut makin membonjolkan tulang instead of lemak (macam dlu2)....Miracle rase bler tgk lipatan tepi lutut dh xde lemak terkeluar!! sbb tu yg i suffer dr kecik smp besar...lemak peha terlebih smp lutut tertimbus dgn lemak & lipatan sides lutut jd huduh!

Betis: yeay!! calf saye makin keras & fit!! thanx to the 1hours running on trademill with high speed & high slope gradient!!

Jari: walaupun jari ni xleyh dijdkan ukuran sme ade kt kurus or x, tp i nk ckp gak! my ring always slipped from my finger!! longgar sey ring ni skg...jari semakin kurus & nmpk panjang....dlu bulat2 n pendek..hehe...
