Boy was i out of shape.......<br /><br />totally breathless at times, i walk,run, sprint, skip and maybe even crawl for 3km. it was tiring to move the fats after one week of exercise resulting in muscle aches.<br /><br />however, i do find a new joy in running at night. I normally start my jogs at 10 pm. Running towards Bedok Reservoir, I find the peaceful and cooling night as my silent companion; Between the painful puffs of breath, the mind is actually very clear. It analyse things in a different way and i have thgt about many issues whilst on my way. Life is short, but its the depth that actually counts. I resolve to stop wasting time on meaningless things.<br /><br />Its time to stop the bug. Its time to lose the weight that is hunging too long on my poor body.<br /><br />Push on, fat boy.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7984204358347144717-3101346570456658627?l=www.iamnotthatfat.com'/></div>Iamfathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04761132389134596682noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7984204358347144717.post-19884774260778612732008-01-20T17:24:00.000-08:002008-01-20T17:27:05.296-08:00ok. a few days have passed and i have skipped jogging...<br /><br />:(<br /><br />tragic... but well, its my anniversary so I had a reason to go out and celebrate and have a nice meal.

Well, that is the life of a Singaporean. By the time i finished business and had dinner (because i was damn hungry at 9pm) , it was 10 pm already. Bushed, full and tired, i missed the jogging.<br /><br />Planning ahead, i think every day jogging\exercising is quite impossible. The plan should be every other day.<br /><br />Today I found out more on calories (and fats) :<br /><br />1 whopper with cheese, one large onion rings, and one large strawberry shake = 2130 calories!!!<br />18 oz reeses peanut butter cup blizzards at dairy queen = 1130 calories and 45g of fat<br />McDonald's chocolate shake (large size) = 1160 calories<br />Mixed Vegetables (1 serving) = 80 calories<br />Chicken with Mushrooms (1 serving) = 170 calories<br />Chicken with String Beans = 180 calories<br />Black Pepper Chicken (1 serving) = 210 calories<br />Beef &amp; Broccoli (1 serving) = 180<br />Orange Chicken (1 serving) = 310<br />Spicy Chicken with Peanuts (1 serving) = 510<br />Sweet &amp; Sour Pork (4 oz. 1 small serving) = 310<br />Sweet &amp; Sour Sauce (2 oz.) = 60 calories<br /><br />If i only need 2200 calories a day, I am seriously over the intake limits.<br />Tragic.....<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7984204358347144717-4725301348541411209?l=www.iamnotthatfat.com'/></div>Iamfathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04761132389134596682noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7984204358347144717.post-57519209376975132982008-01-16T19:45:00.000-08:002008-01-16T20:01:47.981-08:00I was wondering how much calories i was consuming over the day.

I think lets start with breakfast menu:<br /><strong>=======================</strong><br /><strong>Dairy &amp; Breakfast Items</strong><br /><br />Bacon 3 slices 100 calories<br /><br />Carrot Cake 385 calories<br /><br />Cheese 1 oz. 100 calories<br /><br />Chocolate/White Cake 250 calories<br /><br />Egg - 1 large 80 calories<br /><br />Doughnut 240 calories<br /><br />Egg White 16 calories<br /><br />Hard Roll 190 calories<br /><br />Egg Yolk 64 calories<br /><br />Hoagie Roll 3" 190 calories<br /><br />Milk - Whole 1C 150 calories<br /><br />Jelly 1T 49 calories<br /><br />Milk - 2% 1C 121 calories<br /><br />Soft Pretzel 190 calories<br /><br />Milk - 1% 1C 102 calories<br /><br />Stuffing 1/2 C 190 calories<br /><br />Skim Milk 1C 90 calories<br /><br />Sub Roll 400 calories<br /><br />Yogurt Plain 1C 140 calories<br /><br />Toaster Pastry 200 calories<br />=====================<br />Then I went to search for a rough number of Calories i need per day:<br /><br />Here are the results of the Calorie Calculator:<br /><br />Age: 31-50 years old<br />Gender: Male<br />Activity Level: Sedentary<br />Estimated Calorie Requirements: <strong>2,200</strong> kilocalories per day<br /><br /><br />TRAGIC Case lah.... how to survive? i think 1 meal (either dinner or lunch) already exceed liao. hahahaha...<br /><br />must think of some strategy....<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7984204358347144717-5751920937697513298?l=www.iamnotthatfat.com'/></div>Iamfathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04761132389134596682noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7984204358347144717.post-34049444942212153462008-01-16T19:09:00.000-08:002008-01-16T20:19:23.223-08:00<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Q8QS6_9YP0s/R47WtFs-q_I/AAAAAAAAABE/hUh17r7W8r4/s1600-h/IMG_2009.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5156294693499087858" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Q8QS6_9YP0s/R47WtFs-q_I/AAAAAAAAABE/hUh17r7W8r4/s320/IMG_2009.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div>Just to make sure i dont forget this story to push me on:<br /><br /><br /><br />My colleague commented that I have a very nice photo on skype.

Well, the shock of how much I 'aged' has make me realised that weight gained actually adds 'age' to your outlook. Eventually, it will make you look haggard or sloppy. --> affecting work life, social life, love life and --> health.<br /><br /><br /><br />So Lets do it. lose the extra kilos....<br /><br /><br /><br />Push on, Fat boy!</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7984204358347144717-3404944494221215346?l=www.iamnotthatfat.com'/></div>Iamfathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04761132389134596682noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7984204358347144717.post-80205571532174567772008-01-16T19:00:00.000-08:002008-01-16T19:05:59.704-08:00yesterday nite, with the adrenalin and motivation from starting a new project, i went on my second consecutive run. This time, accompanied by the Mrs. She has supportedly joined in my crusade to be not THAT fat. Cheers to my MRS!!! Thank you dear for being there.<br /><br />It was an uphill struggle to get this routine going as the muscles are aching from the night before. The good news is I went a bit further this time round. Probably because of the support of the Mrs by my side. (or is it the pressure? )<br /><br />i think we cover a bit more than 1.2 km and then walk another 1.2km. Reaching the basic test run of 2.4 km in about 30 mins. hahhaha... what a joke. I used to be able to do 2.4 in 12 mins and at my peak, 7.5 mins. The effects of working life.....<br /><br />looking for more motivations and methods to continue my journey...<br />Ideas:<br /><br />1) Drink more water<br />2) Eat Less<br />3) More strenous exercise<br />4) Badminton games<br /><br />I think i must give my Doctor friend a call soon..<br /><br />Push on, Fat boy!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7984204358347144717-8020557153217456777?l=www.iamnotthatfat.com'/></div>Iamfathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04761132389134596682noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7984204358347144717.post-39453642397355778542008-01-15T20:11:00.000-08:002008-01-15T22:01:03.808-08:00Hi Everyone,<br /><br />Yesterday, I started on my journey to lose weight.<br /><br />"hahhaahaha...." I think i hear this from my friends and relatives. After almost 30 years of being fat, do I think I can ever be thin? No. I am not kidding myself, but I am also not giving up. I am not going to be thin, but I am just going to be NOT THAT FAT.<br /><br />And this time, I am not giving up half way.<br /><br />That is why I am making this a public project on this blog. I seek your help, stranger or friend to continue to encourage, harass, scold, help or push me until I can finally say, " I am not that Fat".<br /><br />So here goes:<br /><br /><strong>DAY 1</strong><br /><br />I started having lesser food for Dec and also it was an early dinner.<br />When I felt sufficiently digested, i went on my jog to bedok reservoir at 10 pm.<br />It was a cool evening and wonderful conditions.... BUt.... i think i only covered about 1 km before i started to pant and feel hopeless.<br /><br />I carried on with part jog and part walk but the realisation of the lousy state of my condition is a hard pill to swallow.<br /><br />Nonetheless, i tell myself all things are difficult at the start. So i persisted and finished horribly. hahaa...<br /><br />Nevermind, a start is better than no start.<br />Push on, Fatboy....<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7984204358347144717-3945364239735577854?l=www.iamnotthatfat.com'/></div>Iamfathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04761132389134596682noreply@blogger.com1
