When your skinny friend tells you that she put on weight...

.....I will not hate her. Because I know the feeling of keep putting on weight unconsciously (tau tau dah chubby). A happy girl selalunya akan suka makan, tak kisah dah badan. Bila dah naik baru nak tersedar (for those who concern about their look and weight). Tapi in this case, Dayang is not even close to chubby...... She is too slim for me!
By the way, Dayang, if you read this..... I love you as you are one of them who keep sharing beauty tips and stuffs and believe that I can be slimmer than now 💓 (since 2014 😝)

Last three weeks I asked Dayang if she ever went vegan (Vegetarian diet) because I was interested in it. Without studying more I started my vege diet. I could say it's a rash because I did not study the right proportion, where should I get my protein from, and my fat source. It ended up sucked me as I gained weight and got bloated all day, week.... Until I feel like giving up on my meal plan.

Then I realised the biggest mistake of mine was to not consider my protein intake. I avoided meat for days but did not replaced right. My protein source was only whey protein (which I drink after hard run/ workout). All meals were carbohydrate (bread, rice and pasta) with tomatoes. Everything I cooked, I put tomatoes inside. Well... tomatoes taste good actually. After a few weeks, I feel like the fat expanded to all body parts (or that's just a feeling).

But since I am back on track, I'm about to share about me & Dayang's meal plan. We won't make it 💯vegetarian but to go four days per week meatless. And after a week of doing it, I feel easy and comfortable.

So here's the plan:

Monday- Meatless, more veggie

Tuesday- More fish more fun

Wednesday- Meatless, more fruits

Thursday- Veggie day

Friday- Meatless

Saturday- Chicken day!

Sunday- Meatless, pasta day!

Where I go meatless on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday. I'll find another protein source from kacang-kacang like walnut, almond, and tempe (MY FAV)
The other day, eat your meat! But fish is my priority as it contains less saturated fat than red meat (Keep your jantung healthy ♡)

If you ask me why I trouble myself to go for this kind of diet plan, and blocking myself to eat delicious food. I'll tell you we can make our meal tastes good in a very lot of way. I need to lose weight as I love running so much, and I believe I'll run better if I'm lighter.
Not so rajin to share my cookings but I'll do if people keep requesting.

Oh by the way, here's today's lunch! And I loved the kimchi, bought it at Tesco for RM 12 (small bottle). My 2nd attempt of buying kimchi. The first one did not taste good.

Note: I don't strict myself to follow the plan, I'll change based on my activities and training intensity. Above is reference for me to plan my weekly consumption.

Lovely uncle at stadium

Ssup!

About an hour before leaving the office and I have a little time to write here now!
Last week was a week of recovery after seven days of fever, flu and diarrhoea. I was happy, like very happy! Haha you know, a feeling when an active person can't get her things done, does a comeback. So last week, I feel so fresh and happy to run again, after a week of not running. And last week I hit my highest mileage within six weeks of proper training! I clocked 60 km last week, yay. I believe I can do more, like most of people did.

I usually run at Stadium Selayang every morning, with easy pace and some abs workout (that doesn't work even until now hahaha), correcting my form and breathing, building up my base. Speedwork? Interval? Only once a week. I give myself chance to get better heart rate and aerobic zone.

But here's the real story...
One day, an uncle approached me after I finished my training session (7km of easy run) and said "You banyak hari training sini, bagus aaa". I smiled and keep searching for my bottle that went missing (I was so pissed off because I bancuh amino dalam botol tu and I needed it urgently!) But then when I realised my bottle was gone then I answered uncle "Sorry uncle. Haah saya training lari biasa je, mau kurus uncle" We kept the conversation and uncle asked me to do some speed work to build up some muscle and asked me to makan banyak (Hello uncle I gained almost 4kgs since February)

That uncle said he could see my improvement since the first day I ran there (I was touched idk why maybe because I feel loved and cared lol) and uncle is 83 now. But uncle runs a lot! Uncle said "You don't worry ok, if you be patient you will improve more, uncle happy to see youngsters run and play sport."

A thing that made me feel good when someone who doesn't even know us, gives advices and make us believe ourself better. Sometimes we feel about to lose hope, but God doesn't will.

Eh guys I gotta go now, ttyl!
