1000 kcal

The other day my colleague brought a scale that is able to measure stuff like weight (obviously), fat content, moisture content, bone density, recommended kcal to eat a day etc.. the scale gave me an overall rate of 4 from 9 in terms of body fitness, namely label me as "UNDER EXERCISE".
Gosh, with so much walking and physical work I endured lately in work, I'm still under exercise? Looks like I really HAVE to get down to some serious exercise. Swimming every weekend isn't enough? Going gym after work, twice a week? This can be done actually, depending if I could persistently follow the plan.

The scale also stated that I should consume not more than 1039 kcal a day. This really freak me out, only a thousand kcal a day? As far as I'm concern, 2 pieces of Gardenia bread is already 200 kcal. Right, so I google-d this "what can I eat with 1000 kcal a day?" and found this recipe or diet plan:

1000 Calorie Diet Sample Menu
Drinks throughout the day can include water, black tea and/or coffee without sugar and negligible calorie carbonated drinks such as Diet Coke.
This menu provides: 1000 calories, 60g protein, 145g carbohydrate, 21g fat

Breakfast
  • Banana sandwich made with 2 small slices of wholemeal bread and a small banana.
  • 200ml glass of orange juice

Morning Snack
  • 100g pot of low fat fruit yoghurt

Lunch
  • 1 wholemeal roll (45g) filled with 70g tuna (canned in brine) and 10g reduced calorie mayonnaise
  • Mixed salad of 50g lettuce, 50g red or yellow sweet peppers, 10g spring onions.

Afternoon Snack
  • 28g bag of lower fat crisps (eg. Walkers Lites)

Dinner
  • 70g Roast Chicken breast (without skin)
  • 80g Potatoes, mashed with 30ml semi-skimmed milk
  • 60g Broccoli, steamed or boiled
  • 50g Carrots, boiled 100ml Gravy (made from granules)

Evening
  • 1 serving of low calorie Hot Chocolate Drink made with powder and water (eg. Cadbury's Highlights)

So I can have banana and bread for breakfast, tuna sandwich and yogurt for lunch, chicken chop for dinner and hot chocolate before going to bed. Doesn't sound too bad to me actually. Gotta watch out those food's kcal now, here's a list of food we frequent eat, with their kcal contribution:
  1. Rice (1 bowl) approx. 125 kcal
  2. Noodle (250g) approx. 150 kcal
  3. Wholemeal bread 2 slices approx. 250 kcal
  4. Fried egg approx. 230 kcal
  5. Apple approx. 35 kcal
  6. Banana approx. 80 kcal
  7. Roast chicken (100g) approx. 200 kcal
  8. Roast duck (100g) approx. 340 kcal
  9. Roast pork (100g) approx. 285 kcal
  10. Luncheon meat (100g) approx. 350 kcal
  11. Popcorn (15g) approx. 380 kcal
  12. Boiled cabbage (100g) approx. 9 kcal
  13. Mashed potato (100g) approx. 120 kcal
  14. Donut approx. 350 kcal
  15. Milo (1 cup) approx. 425 kcal
  16. KFC Drumstick (100g) approx. 290 kcal
  17. MacD fries (100g) approx. 265 kcal
  18. MacD Burgers (100g) approx. 235 kcal

Oh no, with only 1000 kcal a day.. I can merely have a good feast! How sad!

W.O.T.P SPA Signing

*Taking a break from writing bout the wedding, since we have not received the photos yet* We have secured the purchase of W.O.T.P few months ago and we were too busy to settle for the Sales and Purchase Agreement signing. Finally on the 22nd of Jan, we made appointment with the lawyer to have the signing exercise at Wilson's office. Why 22nd of Jan? We did consult wofs.com's almanac to select the auspicious day for contract signing, and thus, 22nd of Jan. We were greeted with 2 big stacks of SPA papers and the lawyer slowly explain to us what were we signing on each documents. The lawyer is a little blur in her explanation but nevertheless she did tell us what's essential. Well..well.. even though it's not our first time signing SPA, but it's still necessary to know what we're signing. Since the legal fees are all bear by the developer, that includes the loan agreement legal fees as well, so we simply signed both the agreements together with the devel...

Pregnancy Updates: Half way there!

I'm 20 weeks pregnant now! It's a halfway milestone and it has been really smooth *touch wood* so far since the beginning of 2nd trimester. The vomiting and nausea seems to be gone overnight as I moved into Week 14. The very day my iPhone app congratulate me on my milestone, I felt a gush of energy rushing back to my body. And, for the first time in 3 months I felt... hungry! It was such a great feeling, I got ready to work and before heading out, I put up joss sticks to thank god for this miracle. And I kept my fingers, toes and everything crossed this feeling last. I bet my baby is a very punctual baby, just like the daddy. So with the deadly morning sickness gone, I am feeling myself again and started to enjoy the pregnancy much. My rhintis seems to get better after hubby installed the air purifier in our room and I get good sleeps every night with clear nostrils. My bump is showing and everyone is quite surprised to see a bump at just beginning of 3rd month. I research...

Bali Trip Day 2

We woke up the next morning, feeling all fresh with the gentle cooling breeze and chirping of the birds outside the chalet. As we opened the door, we were thrilled by the tropical Bali feelings round the chalet area. These scenes were so familiar, in the movies, magazines, novels, commercials, cafes, clubs etc.. the "Bali" style; now we're experiencing it in person. - Abangan Bungalow - - Our chalet a.k.a villa - - The walkway in the hotel - - Other types of villa - We ordered our breakfast, scrambled eggs, toasts, fruits and coffee. It was a real relaxation having breakfast at the chalet balcony, looking at the greens. I love this feelings, away from hassle, away from workloads, away from problems. Ah, so divine. :) - Relaxing on the couch, outside the villa, after breakfast - After breakfast we took a stroll down at the Ubud streets. First I saw the signature Bali gate, I was thrilled! "Take photo! Take photo!" I shouted.. So, I posed and took photo. Then, I p...
