Now I'm a lover of oatmeal bread, compared 100% whole wheat bread...

Breathe in and out while you workout

http://vimeo.com/empoweryourbody

Hi everyone. Today I would like to discuss about the importance of breathing in and out during workouts. Most of us tend to hold our breaths when we exercise.Especially during weight training.  Please do not do that. It makes you feel tired and breathless by the end of just few reps. If we are tired, we then stop our workout without pushing to our max capacity and hence not burning more calories... Been there personally and when I found out about breathing in and breathing out for each rep, I am definitely more energetic and doing more reps. For an experienced personal trainer advice on this topic please click this link : Empoweryourbody 
I bet you will learn a lot from her, Alycia Kluegl . She is awesome. Personally I learned loads of info from her youtube videos... :) Please subscribe too....


take care <3

How did I lose weight?? :)

First of all losing weight does not happen overnight. I takes dedication and discipline. 

Tips :

1. substitute high calorie foods with lower calorie foods. example I drink skim milk instead of full cream, reduced fat butter instead of margarine or full fat butter.
2. exercise ( as for me I exercise 5-6 times a week to burn calories and build muscles)
3. I cook my meals most of the times.
4. I sleep at least 8 hours a day. 
5. constantly read articles and magazines on fitness and diet
6. got motivation from my sister and friends
7. weigh myself as often ( though many would not agree on this point)
8. consume loads of vege and fruits
9. more on lean meats and high protein diet
10. fast food once a month
11. cheat treats ( every week) so that i would not deprive myself
12. drink at least 6-8glasses of water per day :)

since I have lost those extra pounds, now I'm aiming on building lean muscles :)

hope this helps  :P

100% Whole wheat biscuits :)

Recipe from http://www.crisco.com/Recipes/Details.aspx?recipeID=2333&loc=5

I made changes in this recipe so that it would be a healthier version .

• 3 cups whole wheat flour
• 4 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup applesauce and coconut oil
• 1/2 cup skim milk

I made them into 8 medium size biscuits :) 

please read the recipe in the link above for directions ...

enjoy this lower calorie biscuits :) 

100% Whole wheat Buns :) 2ND time!!!

Turned out good as well...yay!!! 

this time I used apple sauce to lessen the fat and calories in my buns. ;)

simply delicious with low calorie strawberry jam and a little kaya :) ^_^

AppleSauce

Applesauce is a great substitute for oil and fat in baking so that your baked goodies are less in calories and fat :)


However if the recipe calls for example 1 cup of oil, please use 1/2 of applesauce and 1/2 of oil or maybe 3/4 apple sauce and 1/4 cup of oil . This is to avoid crumbly baked stuff. :) my experience :)


So Happy Baking people... and lead a happy lifestyle :D

escape reality

I escape reality when I'm alone or feel so depressed. Different people have different ways to escape reality which hurts and breaks the soul. My way is to watch cartoons and fantasy movies; where dreams and ambitions always manifests..good always triumphs over evil...hard work pays off...friendship everlasting and ...people are so safe to explore and chase their wildest dreams.  I can meet Harry Potter, visit Narnia, journey with the fellowship of the ring and many more...never alone...with the company of sincere friends and fear within me can be conquered....when I wake up, reality strikes real hard on face, heart and mind, that I wish I'd never wake up...
