Got our department corporate shirt and (feeling guilty) wore it this Friday. As the shirt is 3/4 sleeves, I had to wear a thin material long sleeve BLACK t-shirt inside so that I can ensure my arms were fully covered. And, man, I so regret to wear this outfit to the office! It still very cold in the office but didn't feel as cold as usual, thanks to the double-layer protection but once I got out from the safe, cool cubicle to eat lunch with my colleagues, I started to dying of heat. Luckily, we sat slightly directly under a very fast spinning ceiling fan so didn't feel too hot. But I still felt smoldered with the shirt as the collar was harder than I used to wear, made the neck felt tense, haha.
This day also marked my first day eating normal malay lunch - rice with veggie and chicken. I asked the server to put double scoop of veggie (cooked long bean) and it still cost the same! Hmm, I better use this knowledge everytime I buy dinner from the cafetaria. Extra scoop of meat (chicken, beef), seafood and fishes will cost more but apparently for veggie, still price the same. I know, I know, I sounded too stingy about money but the fact is, I think I still low on veggie and fruit servings and this new info can help me to get my 5 servings of veggie and fruit!

I finally able to try the endurance on elliptical training as suggested in SparkPeople website, www.sparkpeople.com/resource/cardio_
elliptical_endurance.asp And even though I tried the beginner level, by the time I reached 14th minutes, I was so glad for bringing my book to read coz I started to lose focus, haha. With the tv on, my parents eating dinner and both were just a glance away, so near so it was hard to concentrate. So, instead of total minutes 26, I managed to do 17 minutes on elliptical. What I did:
- warm up 5 minutes
- increase intensity 5 minutes
- increase intensity to much, much higher 2 minutes (this should be 6 minutes of endurance)
- slow down to cool down 5 minutes
A bit frustrated so I add 1 minutes jump rope (got 80x) and 2 minutes walk around the house to get my heart beat to slow down. Then, did strecthing 5 minutes and relax as long as I can while sipping water then proceed to eat dinner.
Hmm, next week, I better go home earlier, do workout and have extra time BEFORE I helped my mom for cooking. It should be better that way, right?
Bonus: After preparing myself to do workout, helped my mom at kitchen, more like stirring the noodles to make fried instant noodles (we used instant noodles with its spices to make fried noodles). Part of plan to get more used to working in kitchen, help my mom more, hehe.

After first week of trying new skincare regime, I think I somehow managed to control my acne from getting worse but I don't think there are any differences. Perhaps it's too early to tell? Anyhow, the acne cream that I used contains suspicious ingridient - Triclosan - that from many articles that I've read said it's not safe ingridient. Actually, from the website acne.org, from what I understand, it's recommended to use 2.5% benzoyl peroxide as treatment (2.5% is as effective as the 5% and 10% but less iritating) but the lowest I can find at drug stores are 5% and I'm a bit worried about the bleaching effect - will it bleach my unruly, hard-to-contain hair or eyebrow, will it easily bleach my scarf as I covered my hair with it and how badly is the bleaching effect? Maybe if there's no other option, I had to buy the 5% benzoyl peroxide and hope no bleaching, no terrible irritation.
So, this picture from week #1, the week I started my new regime:
And here's my picture for week #2 (hmm, maybe I should do week #0 as starting point and week #2 should be week #1, hehe):
Personally, I don't think there's any difference and my face looks so shiny and quite pinkish at the cheeks area where all the worst acne inhibited unwanted, hehe.

Just another lazy, unproductive day, thanks to working almost non-stop at office computer till I felt aches between my shoulder blades, at the back and neck - productive for work, not for my fitness plan. I would kill to have the crink crank out from my body. Throughout the day and night, the only thing that kept me sane was drinking water continuously. At work, I decided I'll go straight back home and do intense workout just to leash out my frustration of working long hours at computer. But, no, I went home to tired to do anything, end up watching tv and browsing internet. Ok, I'll stop ranting now before I bring all these to my sleep!
