Imagine..

Imagine a big field filled with deep green grass, covered with blossoms blooming over the place, and placed in the middle, a grand piano with its keys sparkling for its master to take his place.

Standing there by the field, you see him walking to the piano, your heart beating as he sat down and lay his fingers on the keys, ready to play. He looked at you, his eyes shining and smiled with a wink. You stood there frozen, as his fingers played with the keys, a beautiful melody dancing around you, sending you off to your fantasy world...

Close your eyes my love, and imagine... Imagine life being so beautiful with nothing to worry and fear is no where near.. Imagine.. and Live..

---------------------------------------------------------------
Just something I suddenly came up with while I was listening to Yiruma- River flows in you. My mind imagines and wish someone would actually do that to me, but it will always remain to be a dream.

Inspiration is the key, Motivation brings you to do it, and determination makes it happen.

Live to be inspired, never give up and catch your dreams..

Time to go on a diet!!!

Hey all,

OMG~ Its time.. TO GO ON A DIET!! I just saw a picture of mine and was comparing it to how i used to look like and Now, Im chubbier than before, and the worse thing is it shows in my cheeks and face.. NOOOO!!!

Anyways, I was so frus that i went to search for some diet tips and found this website that shows 7 ways to lose weight.. Here it goes..

1. Drink water
No, you don’t have to fill up like a tub, but ensure that you drink 8 to 10 glasses of water every day. Don’t substitute for juice. Your body should always be hydrated. Your kidneys will thank you as it can easily flush out the waste. With adequate water intake your body will be able to metabolize fat more effectively. And if you have a glass of water 10-15 minutes prior to your meal, you will feel full once you start eating. Another fun fact, did you know that you can lose 62 calories by drinking
ice cold water?

2. Eat 5 times a day
Start with breakfast. The more you eat for breakfast, the less food you will want to eat at night. Please, don’t skip this meal as you’ll end up devouring everything in sight for the rest of the day. You don’t need to gobble up 5 large meals. Eat sensibly so your body doesn’t crave for food. If you treat your body right it won’t demand for more attention!

3. Use weights
Needless to say, exercise is crucial to weight loss. You can’t expect to sit on the couch all day, sip water and lose weight. Join a good gym that lets you work with weights. It will help you build muscle and your metabolism rate will increase. You’ll soon see the fat come off and in its place muscle will develop.

4. Smaller plates
The hotel industry has changed the way we look at food. Today a regular burger can feed an elephant. Well, almost! Check your portions the next time you dine out. You don’t need to finish every morsel. So, what you should do is ask your waiter to put half of your meal into a doggy bag before it even makes to the table. This way you will not be tempted and you will feel full eating less. And you will have something for breakfast too!

When eating at home, it’s better to get rid of the huge plates you usually use. Substitute them with small ones - when food starts to fall off, you’ll know it’s enough. Try to get these new plates in dark colors. Dark blue will be your best choice since it’s the #1 color that fights off the appetite. Avoid red/orange/yellow colors in your dining area - they are the ones making your appetite go sky high! (Think McDonalds’ logo - the colors they use are not a coincidence!)

5. Read between the lines
Food and drink products are all out to get you. They scream ‘Buy me! Buy me!’. It could be ‘fat free’ but it could still have a lot of calories. You need to analyse the nutrition label on the cover. The number one example of this is sodas. Find out what’s good for you and what isn’t. Knowing in advance can help you stay away from products that are calorie-enriched. Oh, and when shopping for groceries, avoid the aisles with cookies, frozen pizzas and ice-cream - it’s not the best place to test your will-power.

6. Keep a journal
It helps to document what you eat. This way you can keep track and evaluate your eating habits at the end of each week. Ask your dietician to look at your journal and suggest improvement points. I found it helpful to measure myself with a meter every morning. Every time I skipped dinner, my waist was a little bit smaller - and that’s what gave me the strength to put my appetite under control.

7. Don’t punish yourself
Go easy on yourself at least one day in a week. If you begin to dislike your diet then there’s something wrong. Find a diet that suits your body type and your lifestyle.

Thats the 7 ways! I'm gonna try them soon as long as I'm not lazy.. We all know I'm such a lazy bum.. But its time to get my 48kg back to its rightful place. Gonna go shopping tomorrow and hopefully I wont buy so much junk food, should buy the healthy fruits and healthy food. Haha!! Wish me good lucks!!
