A truism

Afternoon everyone!

Who else feels like this? Found this on one of my favourite websites 9gag.com - story of my life!

Remember its not worth undoing all that hard work by giving in to that moment of weakness! Stay strong!

Day 2 and already failed?!

Good Morning Everyone!

I must confess that I've slightly diverged from my 12 week challenge plan! Already?! I hear you say. I missed out on my workout yesterday so I will have to make up for it on my usual rest day - Sunday.

I feel terribly guilty and lazy for doing so but there's no point crying over spilt mik. So girls, don't worry if you face set backs, just pick yourself up again and keep going. Don't beat yourself over every little mistake as long as you acknowledge where you've gone wrong and made changes to correct it - you're doing great!

I decided to take some 'before' shots so I can keep track of my progress over the next 12 weeks. I wasn't all that ballsy to do it in a bikini because I'm self conscious of my lumps and bumps. But hopefully, by the end of the 12 weeks I won't be thinking twice about taking photographs in a bikini!

Want to get rid of that jelly belly and slim down my waist!

Please excuse the unflattering facial expression! I have quite a large behind for an Asian and its shapeless and flabby at the moment. Will make that thing bootylicious!

I also want to tone up my tighs and reduce my cellulite - you can see it below the cuff of my shorts. I will do a post on how I'm going to get rid of my cellulite soon because its a HUGE problem for me!

My measurements:

Waist: 27.5 Inches
Goal: 24-25 Inches

 

Hips: 37 Inches
Hips: I don't have a problem with the measurement - it can stay the same measurement as long as I can tell my butt has toned up!

Thighs: 21 Inches
Thighs: Again same with my hips - just want to tone them up!                      
                  
Arms: 10 Inches (around).
Arms: 8-9 Inches. I am pretty self conscious about my arms - I have the dreaded 'chicken wings' where everytime I wave, I can feel and see them jiggling!

What I want to am going to achieve at the end of the 12 weeks is a leaner, meaner, toned and glowing body!

What are your goals?

Get ready!

Hey beauties!

My 12 week challenge starts tomorrow! After a number of false starts - tomorrow is definitely going to be the day that I am going to dedicate myself 100% to the challenge! The first day of the week is always a great time to start a plan because we feel as though we're starting up fresh.

My aim by the end of the 12 weeks is to tone up, lose the jelly belly and eat healthily!

Every week I'm going to post up pics, records of my progress and exercise and healthy eating tips so you can join me in this challenge and achieve your health goals too! I hope this will be a space where we can share our stories, progress and tips on our journey to being the best person we can be -both inside and out!

New Year Resolutions?!

Ahoy there! 

I know it’s been a while and it may have appeared that I had reneged on my resolution to update this blog more often this year, but I’ve been doing a bit of soul searching in really deciding and focusing on what I want to get out of this year and also the direction I want to take with this blog. 

Originally, I wanted it to be fashion focused but I quickly realised that outfit posts were expensive to maintain and my wardrobe just didn’t cater enough designer or ‘vintage’ pieces to make outfit posts blog-worthy. Not to mention I didn’t think I could churn out creative outfit posts on a regular basis. All in all, I realised and finally accepted that fashion blogging wasn’t ‘me’. 

So after really thinking about what I wanted and the things that interest me and reflect who I am, I’ve decided to re-direct my blog to a category I like to call “self-investing”. In other words, a lifestyle blog dedicated to things that will help me (and you!) to become the best version of ourselves. (I did mention I did a lot of soul searching?)This is not to say that I have turned my back on the fashion-o-sphere, but instead of fashion being the focus of the blog, it will now be a part of it.

I hope you’ll all join me on this new direction I’m taking with my blog and that it’ll feature more of the things which are more ‘me’ rather than what I want to be considered as ‘me’. 

Greetings from Hong Kong

Happy New Year Everyone!


Apologises I'm a few hours late but my sentiments remain the same -wishing everyone a joyous, healthy and successful 2012!

Soloing in Hong Kong at the moment. Unfortunately I haven't taken any photos because:

•  my camera's shit and I'm embarassed about using it
•  I keep forgetting to take my camera out with me
• I don't have a laptop to post from
•  I haven't found anything worth taking apart from the obligatory blog shots of random trees; well dressed strangers; sunsets and clouds
• I feel like a loser taking photos of myself.
• I'm lazy.

BUT.............

I promise that '12 will be different!!!!! Trust me.

I'm not usually a resolution maker but for the 295 readers this blog has had this year (I know, I can't believe it either), I promise to dedicate a lot more time posting, reviewing, posing, cross-dressing, and courting your visual senses for your enjoyment. I just want to make you happy.

Thank you for those 30 secs your spared me when you thought you had the web page you wanted but realised it was really because you had made a typo; thank you for not posting nasty comments even though you may have detested everything about me and thank you for making my day when I checked my stats to find that a person in Kazakhstan had viewed my blog.

Will be avoiding avian flu for the next few days. Have you read the news?

See you soon!

Almost Over

Howdy partners,

Hope you had a happy Halloween American readers.

Torts and Contracts exam Monday and Finance exam Tuesday then freedom.

See you soon!

Party

Hi Ya'll,

Apologises for going M.I.A on you all, I've truly missed you! (yes, really). Semester 2 and its cousins, assignments and exams, have made my last month a hellish experience, like all family experiences. Unfortunately, the worst has yet to come so I will be retreating back into study hibernation because I am the nerd I am. I will do my best to update you lovely people with snippets of my no life because I know you care about me. (PLEASE LOVE ME!!! SOMEBODY!!! ANYBODY!!!!!!!!)

Anyways, I had my 21st paartay last Saturday with the lovely Karmo whose a day older than me. I think the most exciting part was being able to use those red plastic cups all you American readers use in your frat parties. Yeah, I have high ambitions in life.

My beautiful friend Alice did a shout out to me on her blog. THANK YOU ALICE! She's a wizard in writing and her style is ridiculously unique. Check her out here. 

Here's a photo from the night, just so I'm not such a terrible blogger.

Karmo as a Jukebox, me as Caesar

Wearing:
- red and white bed sheets. Scott Schuman worthy.

Talk to you soon!
