Its a good start.

On the first day of this so called weight loss program of mine, i weight in at 77kg. It is recommended that you weigh yourself the first thing in the morning.

For the past one week i've been keeping track of  what i eat and calories consumed, thanks to the internet, there are many sites which have a list of calories for each category of food. The best i think is calorieking.com

I have stopped taking coffee mix, instead i take instant coffee with sweetener.

I found out that the coffee mix, which i used to take regularly at night has 102 calories, now with just black coffee and sweetener its just 5 calories!

I try to consume more water on daily basis. 

The only thing that i have failed to do is sleep early... i'm just a night person  lah! 

So this morning when i weighed in..my digital weighing machine says "75.2"

That's not much... cos our body weight fluctuates between 1-2kg anyway...but its a good start to me! hahah. ( I need every lil bit of encouragement).

Early resolution.

The new year is just around the corner. Its time to make resolutions. Not this time for me. I had a resolution last night and it began today. I'm gonna loose weight! 

People who want to loose weight  would sometimes list down things they are going to do to achieve thier weight loss goal. Instead of that I'm gonna list down things which I did or didnt do that lead to this 76.5 kg. 

Before I got married 2 years ago I was in the low of 67-69kg. So..that is my target. I'm gonna use this blog as my progress report. 

Now..this is why my BMI says that i'm obese

1. I dont exercise....obvioulsy
2. I dont drink enough water during the day
3. I seldom take breakfast, which leads to bingeing later on.
4. I dont eat enough vege and fruits
5. I dont get enough sleep...suka sangat tidor lambat.
6. I tend to snack at night...pasal tido lambat la.


So...thats bout it. I'm not setting any time frame for the weight loss. I'm gonna see how I progress in the first month...then I'll set targets.

Has Mukhriz shot himself in the foot?

Mukhriz Mahathir might just have shot himself in the foot. While speaking to the press at Parliament yesterday, Mukhriz in responding to Chua Soi Lek's rejection of 'Ketuanan Melayu', had called on the Government to abolish vernacular school system. 

The malay dailies of course took the cue and highlighted Mukhriz's call. Utusan splashed their front page with "Sekolah Satu Sistem".

This did not go down well with MCA, MIC and DAP. MIC wants the AG to take action against Mukhriz for sedition as reported in Staronline, DAP led my Lim Kit Siang in his blog, commented that Mukhriz had committed sedition as the Federal Constitution disallows anyone to propose the closing down of Chinese and Tamil schools. 

DAP Youth had just lodged a police report against Mukhriz. 

Will the police and AG, pursue this matter with vigor as they did against Raja Petra? I doubt they will. It would not be to hard to predict that Mukhriz would then come out to say that he was misquoted by the Press. 

Or will the other contenders vying for the position of Umno Youth Chief seize this opportunity to put pressure on police to act against Mukhriz. We'll see how this develope... but before i log off, I chuckled when I read this statement from Muhkriz,

"“If they reject this suggestion, then they should explain why they are against it,” he said. “If you want equal rights then you cannot have a different school system. You cannot have your cake and eat it too,” said Mukhriz."

Why...why..why...its my cake damnit!!
