Monday workout followed by a yummy yet simple dinner :)

It has been a while since I blogged about my workout. Well, I have not much of breakthrough so far, just trying to maintain the record of one hour of running on treadmill, cardio mode.

Yesterday I did the running again and managed to capture this shot when i was done on the treadmill.
7km in an hour - not too bad i guess
I think I did not share with you in my blog on another reason I need this workout besides burning fat. I signed up for Penang Bridge run for the first time :D Surely with the current training record, it will be kinda tough for me to complete the half marathon in 3.5 hours. Therefore, I need to push myself further but I'm not sure how am I going to do it. Any advise?

After the evening workout at gym, I had dinner with Min Fei at his rented apartment since he brought back his mom's cooking from home on Sunday. It is one of her mom's signature dish - homemade yong tau foo. Yumz! So we reheated the dish by steaming it in a big steel pot as we do not have microwave oven. While waiting for the dish to be ready, I decided to fry eggs so that we can have more variety to our simple dinner for the night.


fried eggs :D (sorry, they don't look presentable)
yong tau foo
Here is what our dinner look like in the picture below. We bought the rice from the stall selling bak kut teh nearby and it costed RM 1.60 for two packets of plain rice (nowadays you hardly find 50 cents plain rice anymore). Of course I gave a few spoonfuls of rice away to Min Fei!

The meat paste made by aunty was a combination of fish and pork, stuffed in beancurd, tau fu pok, and green chilies. I luv them all!! The dish is a bit too salty by its own but it goes perfectly well with the plain rice =)



I felt really full after the dinner and I didn't feel guilty for taking rice during dinner time. Notice the red plastic bag on the left? haha.. it's bak kua from Ipoh. I took one piece of that too .... Ooooops >.<
Hahas....Actually I have decided to stop skipping dinner after trying it for about 5 days during weekdays, for a consecutive of 2-3 weeks but it's not really effective for me to lose weight by doing so. Instead, I was having some stomach discomfort quite often during those time. I guess I need to eat my dinner to lose weight healthily. Moreover, I need enegy to run kan? :)

Happy Tuesday peeps :)

Oh you sign up for a run! Good good... Haha i think the only good advice is just to keep on practice and keep on running.

Its good that now you know you cant skip meal. instead of skipping meal, i advice you to try and break down your meals. instead of 3 meal a day, break it into 4 o 5 meal per day BUT every meal is in a small portion :D

I was told also skipping meals cannot really help to lose weight, even if you do, it won't maintain for long...
Skipping meals will only slow down your metabolism. So yea, it's better you make into more meals or you can take light food for dinner, like smaller portion, or take fruits and vegetables and avoid taking too much carb for dinner. =)

good luck to your run. well you need to practise running. not just on the machine. out door running is different from running inside a gym.

I agree that skipping dinner is a bad way to diet. Just eat something light or less oily instead.

And... gosh, I haven't seen u for a few days and u r doing 62min on the treadmill! Kudos!

Unknown said...

wow, such a commitment! *like*
truly, skipping meals will not help you lose weight, in fact it'll help your body store more fats to be use when you skip meals.
stay healthy babe! :D

Big head proawn you are doing great with 7km per hour that means you finished in 3 hrs running 21km. Get a good pair of jogging shoes not like me in my first Penang Bridge Run got "punctured" on the way back after reaching the mid span. May get some info about Carbo Loading it might help. Run Ying Ying Run!
