I may not admit it but I think the reason I kept gaining weight even with so little food intake is my slow metabolism, slower than it used to be, that is. A friend suggested conjugated linoleic acid that she said helps in increasing metabolic rate. Although she’s not sure how true it is that it decreases abdominal fat.

That, or should I blame Gilbey’s Premium Strength? It just tastes so good, and perfect for Saturday evenings with the husband and/or friends.

my own salad, perhaps?

I knew it! It was quite expected. I grew tired of eating KFC chicken salad with Asian sauce. Who wouldn’t when I eat the same thing for a couple of weeks now?

I’m thinking, well, I can do my own version of chicken salad. I’ll buy tomatoes, probably the best skin care food, to add to my lettuce. I’d like some orange slices and grapes, as well. For the chicken, I’d either put nuggets or crab sticks. I’ll skip the sauce.

Hmm, not bad. I’ll try it next weekend.

too tempting

Early afternoon I received an email informing all employees that for the month of March, our company is the employer of the month, and that we can avail of the 10% discount from Yo-Swirls. This is the nearest yogurt store in our office. My favorite is their original flavor (I love its subtle sour taste) with cranberries. I haven’t tried to add almonds yet in Yo-Swirls. You see, almond is my favorite topping over at Red Mango.

Anyway, it’s been a while since I last ate yogurt. With my current weight, I should be considering taking ephedra diet pills instead. But the ongoing promo is very tempting.

Oh, but that last time I checked, I have shed another 2 pounds.

food in Disneyland

When we’re inside Disneyland, we had two choices of food.
The one-can-never-go-wrong and affordable burger and fries sort of meal.

Or the fun looking but a little more expensive food served in the restaurants.

Photo taken by my sister. I was just so hungry I ate before realizing I should have taken a picture first. (Same reason I hardly post photos of food. I am almost always too hungry to do that.) Can you see the not so hidden Mickey?

At least the more expensive one does not give you any guilt but instead gives you enough excuse to miss running on your ellipticals. Just kidding. The salad (or soup) actually comes with a main course, by the way.

eat, eat and eat

This may sound too shallow but I really want to lose weight as soon as possible. But I’d probably need an appetite suppressant as I’ve been craving for burgers and pizza lately more than ever. Like last night, we had a meeting with the in-laws to finalize our itinerary for our Hong Kong trip less than 10 days from now.

We ordered pizza, buffalo wings and potato halves. YUM!!! And after eating, the meeting ended and we all went to bed. Tsk tsk. Talk about unburned calories Yikes!
