Hmmm… I guess its about time I get down and stimulate that discipline in me. I wonder if it’s the age that is catching up quickly or if it’s that little vain bug in me that is finally awake. Just a month-ish ago I had my first aesthetic procedure with a mind-blowing fear factor 8/10 and I am so happy with the results!
This time, I am about to commit myself to something different and since I have to pen my journey down, I am even more convinced this is for real! 12 years ago I lost 14kg for my wedding by madly forcing myself to only eat meehoon soup for a year, swim and brisk walk with zero ice-cream, chocolates, bubble tea, starbucks etc. It was so extreme it was so suffering and bad. After the wedding, I put on weight badly after caving in to one dessert and the rest is history.
WHY now? Mainly for health reasons and to lose weight happily so that I not only feel good but look better too? I can then pose more confidently in my fashion ootds? Meet my gorgeous dietician Jaclyn Reutens (I’ll ask her for a wefie together the next time) from Aptima Nutrition who is going to work closely with me and helping me achieve my goal.
While waiting to register, I looked around the clinic and found so many interesting reads yet at the same time feeling really nervous. I was wondering if my dietician is going to make me eat fruits for meals or ask me to stop eating carbo altogether or that I can no longer have my desserts.
Jaclyn has a toned physique and looks all womanly and chic, not what I thought a dietician would look like. haha Anyways, my consultation with Jaclyn was awesome for it was relaxing yet informative. Did you know the number 1 rule for losing weight is to eat breakfast within the first hour after you wake up?? #forreal I learned quite a bit from Jaclyn and after learning about my eating habits and schedule, she planned my meals; breakfast, lunch and dinner on the spot!
I am very very surprised at how reasonable the meal plan is and that it is easily available and achievable at hawker centres and food courts! Take note that this meal plan is customised for me and it doesn’t mean everyone should follow the same. Call Jaclyn at 6836 9004 and sign up for a free 30-minute nutrition assessment! The challenge is staying away from coke and desserts! I love love love cereals so I am happy when Jaclyn said I can have it for breakfast and even for dinner with the right portion!
We talked about how much weight I would like to lose and I thought 10kg for starters would be a more realistic goal. Jaclyn was encouraging and said if I were to follow the meal plan followed by light exercises, I should be able to lose 10kg in 3 months! Which is why when she asked how strict I would like her to be, I replied very! Since I wanted to take this up and if I can really lose 10kg in 3 months, I might as well be very strict and go all the way!
This is basically how my meal should look like everyday; 2 veggies, chicken breast, fish or pork with half a bowl of rice and a slice of fruit. Interesting right? I’m a rice, potato and cheese lover so I am not too sure how I will deal with just having half or slightly lesser than half a bowl of rice for lunch and dinner.
Update in a week-ish again and I’ll share more about my dieting journey with my new meal plan.
