Easy Diet: Day 2
2 days down! 1 more day to go…
After the first day, I managed to lose 1 kg! woo hoo!
But the 2nd day proved to be harder than the first. Which led to some bingeing. :(
Verdict:
The breakfast was surprisingly yummy even though it was just a piece of toast and a hard boiled egg. I had my first proper coffee in 2 years (Starbucks doesn’t really count). 1 tsp of Nescafe Gold and 2...

Easy Diet: Day 1
Day 1 completed!
Verdict:
Followed the diet exactly! Except for…ehem… instead of 1/2 a grapefruit I had ONE whole grapefruit. I also had a yoghurt for a mid-morning snack. I added a dragonfruit for lunch…and had soy milk with a DROP of brown sugar (which almost counts as water).
Energy was pretty low in the beginning. And was so HUNGRY! Though, I think it has more to do with...

It may seem insignificant...
…but I finally got my period! After 11 months of giving birth and breastfeeding, I am now “normal” again.
I am not sure if I should be happy looking forward to the tediousness of sanitary pads, bloatedness, oily and pimply face, Pms, etc.
But at least now I am more of a woman. :)
They say that your menses changes after giving birth. So we will see. I am curious to see what...

Lunch - fried vermicelli (lunch at in laws)
Dinner - white rice, mutton curry, butter cake, 2 cups of coffee (dinner at my aunties)

Snack - kit kat
Lunch - salmon sandwich, yoghurt

Food Diary 3/3
Breakfast - warm water with lemon, cereal
Lunch - chicken chop, iced honey lemon
Dinner - pho hoa (Vietnamese beef noodles)
Lunch was prob not the healthiest choice because it was heavily battered and there were no vege (except for some measly cucumbers).
