Plateau

Two weeks have passed by and I have only lost 0.2 kg! It's too early to reach the plateau stage. I haven't even reached half of my goal!

I have been running in the treadmill everyday. Sometimes twice a day. So I guess the reason I am not losing much weight is that I have been eating more.

The next two weeks I shall take note of what I eat. It's so easy to forget I am on diet when I am faced with yummy food! Last week alone, I think I ate for the rest of this month already. On Tuesday we ate at a buffet resto at Raffles Le Royal. On Wednesday we had a barbeque at the rooftop. On Thursday we ate at a Khmer resto. And Friday was a take out at KFC!

The next two weeks I shall also exercise more. Walk for 30 minutes in the early morning. And run/walk in the treadmill for 1 hour later in the morning. Trivia: Do you know that pushing baby strollers while walking burns more calories than just plain walking? Since we don't have strollers anymore, I think I'd incline the treadmill so I'll burn more calories.

After two weeks I expect to see a drop of 2kgs in my weight again. I hope.

The life after

Thinking out loud here....

The sad part of dying is that you wouldn't miss anybody even if you know you'd miss them if you were still alive.

I don't know if that makes sense. It's just that when I think of death, it makes me sad and lonely. It makes me think of the people and some things I would miss. But when you're gone, would you still miss the people you love or the things you like? If yes then that's almost saying that there's life after death.

It sounds morbid to some but sometimes I find death fascinating.

Sigh. Before I completely get lost in my thoughts, I better go out and check these stainless steel drums for sale.

Businesswoman

What a busy week!

I am really going into business. I, myself cannot believe it. It's surreal. Hahaha! I just added that for effect. But seriously, it feels like it.

We're almost finished with phase 1 of the project which was company registration. We're done with the paperworks. Next week we will have the business license.

Phase 2 will be hiring and training of the staff. Hahaha!!!

I feel so important now, doing all these things. I don't think anybody would look at me condescendingly anymore now that I am not just a mother but a businesswoman too!!!

I am very tickled. LOL!

My brother is going home tonight. It was one productive visit, if I may say so. He stayed in a hotel near our place, not exactly like a mazatlan hotel, but it was good.

I am really excited!!!!

Stirred

I have planned to write a lot of blog posts today but all I do is stare at the laptop, occasionally checking my farms at facebook.

I am stuck. All I think about is how to take out the stain in my son's tshirt. It's not just any tshirt, but my favorite tshirt for him. I would hate it if it's ruined.

EJ came home today from school with a dirty/stained tshirt. I guess it was from a colored pen or some sort of paint. I couldn't tell.

I immediately soaked it in hot water. But it is still there. Then our helper tried dropping lime juice. The stain has faded a little but it is still there.

I am thinking I should try using a little bleach. But I am scared of the result.

Sigh. A simple stain on a tshirt is getting so much attention from me. I wonder what my reaction would be if it's a men's tuxedo that is stained?

I guess I can only wonder. LOL!

Two and counting

I have lost 2.4kgs in two weeks time. Not bad. Not bad at all!

I still have 7.6kgs to go but I know I will get there. I have done this before and I know how to do it. I hope.

I run/walk in the threadmill everyday for 60 to 75 minutes. At night, I do some toning and stretching exercises. I am having problems with my running though. I have to drag myself to the treadmill. It's been hard to motivate myself. I feel bored in the middle of my running.

I am thinking of cutting back on my eating intake. I hope I won't pass out. Last week I thought I was gonna pass out, so I ate two choco chip cookies. Bad idea!

Today indulged a little. So tomorrow it's off to the threadmill with a vengeance. If I can bring myself, that is.

But seriously I am hoping I'd lose another kilo this week.

Medical Investment

When you get older, your priorities change. At least for me.

When I was a bit younger, I want lots of shoes, bags and a closetful of pretty dresses. But now that I am a bit older, I don't think of clothes as much as before. I still do but it's not really a big deal now.

Now I am thinking of investing on a health or medical insurance, something like NC short term health insurance.

I think investing on health or medical insurance is a good investment. Our family on my mother side has a long line of cancer illness. My mother being one of them.

But I do wonder if I'd qualify for a medical insurance.

What ifs

I don't know why I am feeling this way. In fact I wanted, needed, desired for this to happen. But now that it is going to happen soon, I get so many butterflies in my stomach.

I am talking about starting a business. Here in Phnom Penh.

My brother and I are going to start a business together. He's arriving next Tuesday. The fact that he has booked his ticket means it's already a start of our business.

Suddenly I am getting scared. I don't know.

I have so many what if's running through my mind right now.

But I know there's no turning back from now on. I have to do this. I have to. I want to.
