And she definitely is. It’s always great to know that one is not alone having to deal with weight problems. It also helps for motivation and to strive on to achieve our targetted weight. She’s amazing, having to do it for more than 3 years. Me, I’ve just started.

Having said that, I must go and get some tights for swimming. Since I started Atkins’ and Unisense, my cellulite is showing and it’s pretty bad. Then again, I just might just go ahead anyway and just swim for the heck of it, irregardless of what people say. It’s my body and I’m doing something about it.

So, in conjuction of having lose weight (about 3-4 kilos), I’m off to buy a new swimsuit and some prescription goggles. Probably tomorrow since it’s still a public holiday.

: : Hot Seat : :

Now these shots were definitely taken during my pre-Atkins-and-Unisense Days. Why? Look at all the carbohydrates heaped onto it. Not that it wasn’t tasty, mind you. It was quite nice. Can’t wait for the day when I can eat it again. Must remember, only AFTER 12 June!

The dinner was eaten at Hot Seat with Min Yen after a stressful day at work. I just wanted to have something nice to eat at the end of a really long long long day.

Now this was a refreshing drink : ice-blended milo. Very cooling and filling at the same time. All it needs at the top was whipped cream or even a scoop of chocolate ice-cream. Hmm… better not say too much now.

I ordered the grilled fish which came with a tasty sauce made from tomato and dunno-what-else as well as some salad and mash potatoes. It was a great dish alright.

Min Yen decided to have something small and ordered some satay. It came in a mixture of chicken, beef and lamb. I love the lamb satay. So tasty. And, the peanut sauce was so delicious! Very thick, sweet and salty at the same time. Good to go with the satay as well as rice.

Ah well. All I can do right now is look at photos. Surprisingly, I don’t feel so tempted to eat these stuff anymore. Don’t know why. It’s been 11 days since I last had a full carbohydrate-filled meal. Did have a few bits of the stuff when I wasn’t suppose to but other than that, haven’t had any lately. At the rate I’m going, I’m going to become a rabbit soon.

: : Healthy Sushi : :

What is a girl to do when she is dieting and still wants to enjoy a bit of Japanese cuisine? Remove the rice out of the sushi! I can hear a few people screaming ‘SACRILEGE!’ Well, what with rice having so much starch in it and not to mention carbohydrates, I did exactly that. Also, I didn’t do it using a rice mat but never mind. It’s me eating it, and not others.

Because of one pesky mosquitoe, I woke up at 3:30 a.m. on Sunday morning wide-eyed and alert. So, as I had to go and help out at the PERKATA Charity Sale today, I decided to make some snacks. So, cut up some ham, celery and cucumber, I made some sushi. Not so symmetrical because I cut everything into short strips. You can see the bits and pieces of vegetables sticking out on one end because after I rolled them, I cut them into half so that it sits more easily in the container and smaller so that it’s manageable bite-sized portions.

Uncle Cyril : You didn’t make any for me to try ah?

So I made somemore sushi but time using capsicum and jicama/hikama as well as beer ham and fresh salmon. Beer Ham? Well, it says that one the label. Bought a packet of it at Choice Daily Supermarket and it looks to be made in Thailand. Has an interesting sourish taste that one can taste a litty itty bitty bit. Other than that, it’s pretty good. As for the salmon, made in Klang, believe it or not. Or so it says on the packet. Still, pretty expensive at RM15 per packet. Well, this batch of sushi will be my lunch for Monday.

On another note, the PERKATA Charity Sale went very well yesterday. How much did we make? Quite a fair bit. Cannot believe that between two of us doing the body painting, we did up above 41 pictures. Phew! By the time we left the place, our backs and necks were aching from being stuck in that position for such a long time. Anyway, everyone went off pretty satisfied with their pictures on their hands and arms.
