My dad is old fashion, and he enjoys fish eyes.

My dad has eaten a lot of crazy crap. The wierdest thing I can think of that he has eaten is fried goat brain (when he was frying it, it did smell good though :rolleyes: )

Don't mean to be sterotypical, but in my opinon, azns are among the craziest cultures with their food selection.

most meat smells good when fried. lol
ha... during dinner last nite at a canadians hse, it was mentioned that chinese (esp those in China) has learnt to eat most parts of an animal.... won't go into details but I dun reali fancy the innards. yucky.

I imagine Singapore would have really good food despite its longstanding ties to England with its history of trade. I love fried prawns and satay. You have my mouth watering Pinky :)

Come n holiday then! Wld be nice mtg up! :)

Yesterday was a public holiday here so missionary invited some to her place. A gal cooked up a big pot of sizzling hot spicy chicken curry that was hard to resist. But I worked my calories out in the morning so that I hv plenty left at dinner. It was worth it! And I found a new love for breakfast. Museli with yoghurt! Added some greeen apples and tah daaaaaaaaaa! A yummy bowl.
Just to write down since these are special items not included in my usual food log.

Today will be a day off exercise. Let my muscles recover from an afternoon jog yesterday. Guess waht??? I managed to run one round of the park after 2 weeks! I've not done it since 4-5 months ago.... so it felt so good! I was telling myself.... no curry tonite unless you managed to run one full round. I DID IT! and one more surprise.... weighed myself this morning (for Jun challenge) and I am at 129 pounds!!!! PTL! Should be in mid Jun that I hit healthy BMI.... this is so exciting.:jump:

my mother seems to notice that I am gettin a bit slim (a few pounds makes a difference to a short body lol). she's nagging at me every nite and asking if I am eating regularly since we don't cook at home. I think she's scared that I'll get slim and then find a bf and get married, leaving her alone with my crazy dad. that day she was suggesting that I buy a flat when I reach 35 yrs old (legal age for singles to apply for govt flat. if u r getting married, can buy anytime) so that she can stay with me and be away frm dad. My mind went like... gosh... "R u cursing me to a lifetime of singlehood and that no man will like me????" How can a mother possibly think of such a thing? Unbelievable.:mad:

ohh, she's just being a mom! Wants to keep you for herself... I think my mom kind of feels the same way because my dad drives her bonkers sometimes. CONGRATS on hitting 129 pounds!! Keep it up, and don't let your mom discourage you! :)
 
It's only 9:00 here, but I probably will hit the bed soon :)

I know exactly what it's like not to have encouragement... When I decided to go vegetarian, ALL my friends were telling me that I couldn't go without meat, and they would constantly try to get me to eat it! it drove me to the point where I didn't even want to see them anymore! They still try to get me to eat whatever they're having, and I'm not sure if they are trying to be nice, or if they just don't want to feel guilty about what they're eating.. Anyway, WE'RE here to encourage you!! :hug2:
 
Awww..... thanks so much.

yea i've both types of frends too. those who sabotage you and those who support. i guess it's ok to be firm and stick to what you want to eat. just be nice abt it lol. i hate frendships to turn sour cos of my desire to live a healthy lifestyle. So sometimes if I know that day I'll be hanging out with frends who get upset easily/parties with great food, I'll plan my calories in a way it's still within range.:)
 
Hey Pinky, I kind of got stuck in a similiar situation with my foks. As my dad was getting senile I didn't want me leave to take care of him alone. I don't regret that I did that, but in some ways my life really went on hold between 23 and 33. I don't regret doing it, but if I had to do it over I don't know that I would have. At some point you need to live your own life. Congrats on the run!!

I am a newcomer. I started my weightloss in Feb. So far I have lost 15 lbs. I as in a rut. Not doing so good lately. Seem to be in a rut and eating anything that is not nailed down. Any ideas of how to get started again?
 
Hi! wow.... maybe you would want to post your question on the section http://weight-loss.fitness.com/harsh-truth/? I am no expert really and i m sure ppl like Steve or Squall wld be able to answer your question better.

FOr myself when I hit a plateau, I intensify my cardio and add weights to my workout. It works for me. Diet wise, not much a change since I reallly love food:D

Welcome to WLF! U'll find lots of support and love here.
 
Grr! Its not chicken curry, its curry chicken! (ah, the never ending debate)

Congratz on the weight loss and you have a good nite (or good day?)
 
Ate weird stuff today. Allmeals outside. TO put into record:

Fried fish soup (milk added)
Taiwan Shiling XL fried chicken fillet
Macadamia fat free ice cream
MOS burger's chicken terriyaki in lettuce
2 tablespoons of peanut butter
Fried fish soup noodles
Rojak

Think this is the first time since 16 May I've eaten this much in a day. Part of it is showing on the scale??? Up by abt 8 pounds. N think TOM is approaching. I seldom have this big appettite like today. And all the sodium is giving me a bad headache now. Plus the heat today is unbearable. Wish I can drink more water but i am heading to bed soon. Will do it tomorrow. Flush flush flush and away!:)

Hey you that is what I do when i eat to much sodium and it works - LOL - that is cute flush flush flush away...

I havent been by for a bit and I apologize for that but to be honest Imnot sorry I missed all the talk of fish head and fish eyeballs and such...My grandfather use to eat the eyeballs and I remeber him rolling them around on a spoon and taunting us with them - LOL - I never found where you mentioned you are down to 129 but congrats girl !!!

lol u got a naughty grandpa.... i wld scream if i were u.
ha dat 129 was there for only 3 days! oh well it shd be down within 2 days if it's not TOM. else it'll be up for a week.

just got email that a south african colleague has passed away suddenly yesterday. he was here in singapore only 2 weeks ago and looking fit and healthy. he even goes gym! a good pastor, hubby and friend....brought laughter to our office and goes abt his work quiety. lot of us are in shock. was told his wife and daughters found him on the floor when they returned frm church in afternoon. he was resting at home due to slight headache.

Suddenly. He was just taken away.:confused:
 
Ok.... this morning's meeting was extremely solemn. and depressing. in addition to the above's sudden news, the colleague leading today's meeting received another depressing news when he was about to walk out of the house. his wife who just got off the phone tapped him on the shoulder and told him a close friend of theirs back in the States attempted suicide a few hours ago. the lady owns a company that's on the web and is way way richer than most ppl. but her life is void and empty. this couple who came back from Cambodia trip last week saw ppl who survived on $45 salary per month but are happy. the extremes of lifestyle and different perceptive on life.

i feel zapped of energy after hearing abt 2 sad news.
One lived life to the fullest but was taken away early.
The other didn't want her own life and attempted to end hers early but failed.
Praying she'll be healed emotionallly and spiritually soon. Life is really short.

To brighten things up.... my guy colleague came back frm a working trip in Sichuan, China. and that's the place famous for spicy hot oily hotpot! YUMYUM! he got me 2 bottles of chili and a pack of chili paste. Goin to taste awesome with my fish soup! Just told him I can't stop thinking of lunch now, wish I can cook in the pantry now! and he actually blushed. oh my..... first time i see a guy blush. Thought that's kinda cute. heheh....
