What did i get myself into?!

My good friend, Miss Liyan Huang is now my dietician. Check it...i got a dietician. It's awesome isn't it? A professional (she's got a Masters degree, so don't play play) who will advise me on my diet to better my performance - I feel like i'm a professional athlete now. This is THE dream for me.. Or is it?

Well, i just realised that in order for Miss Huang to monitor my diet and advise me accordingly, she has to track my diet and exercise regime. Not a problem, i think... I've been training hard, training regularly. So i won't have a problem reporting in my every food intake and physical activity.

But my diet? Hmm..so now i gotta come clean. I have been snacking again. My relapse started a month ago. While i believe i can (still) control my cravings for big meals like steamboat buffet, chicken rice, prata, etc... i'm a sucker for snacks..

Pringles.

I'm able to finish a whole can..yes, even the Jumbo can (+40g more, somemore) in one sitting. Now that i have to report everything i shove in my mouth to Miss Huang, i must say goodbye to my favourite moustache-man-with-the-bushy-eyebrows-and-funky-red-bow-tie.

Pola snack.

Oh my gosh, even though there's a "Eat in Moderation" stamp that advises two packets a day, i can go 5 packets while watching TV. Worst part is - this snack is dirt cheap and easily available at the minimart just across the street.

And finally.. what i believe to be a popular favourite...Who can resist the crunchy biscuit oozing with flavourful cream chocolate that bursts in your mouth when you chomp down on it?

Hello Panda

Sigh...but now that i have a dietician to report to...


Goodbye, Panda.

Fuel for Thought

One thing about training is the diet. While i'm not expecting anything other than a personal best timing, i'm going all out to achieve that. And being such a foodie, there's going to be so much good food i'm going to be missing out! 

Xia mee! This BBQ Snack Chian bought from Taiwan is absolutely addictive!
 
Famed chef Angelo's new Restaurant Miette's at Arab Street. It's like nothing you ever tasted, i guarantee. But be warned - it's not cheap either, approx $60 per person.

So no more fine dining, carbo and sweet, heavy stuff. 

My lunch for 4 consecutive days.

It's back to eating only when i'm hungry, not having a full stomach and no thick creamy foods. Yong tau fu is my secret weapon; it keeps me satisfied for longer periods of time and gives me a light feeling for my evening runs.

I need to take more fruits. Fruit juices keep me full and makes my 'insides' clean..yeah, i sh*t alot more too. 

With two more months to the triathlon, i need to be more disciplined. It's time to step up the training, enforce the diet and eat more fruits... Press on!

Oops, sorry.
