I could not sleep properly last night due to heartburn. The antacid pills could not fix the pain. At 6am I took another antacid pill and swallowed the whole chunk. It worked finally. I managed to get some sleep but turned up late for work. I put the blame on tostada chip dips that I consumed at Chili’s yesterday.

Gosh, I am still craving for non healthy food. Wedding cakes, yummy malay dishes, chinese mandarin oranges, chinese cookies (of course halal ones) and tarts. I know I have to stop for now. I ate yummy pancakes before gym. Lazy day at the Gym, will do my best to do more cardio and lift like the old days.

I am now limping due to inflammation of muscle near my knee. I thought by massaging and warming up the area would make the pain go away, but i was totally wrong. My thigh was swollen and could not bend my knee and later realized that I probably did the wrong thing my putting hot massage oil and warm it with warm water.
I should not have done that…

Last night I put a big chunk of ice and I managed to reduce the inflammation. Now I can bend my knee and i feel a lot better. I walk slightly better now.. Oh ok.. here is why ice is good in order to reduce inflammation.

Apply ice to inflammation

When muscle fibers tear (microscopically), they leak out tissue fluid that begins to accumulate locally near the site of injury. Inflammation is the result of this tissue fluid build-up and is characterized by localized swelling and tenderness. Frequently the region will be warm and have a reddish color due to the increased circulation. (All tissues can swell to some degree, whether you see it or not; an ankle sprain can be easily seen because a relatively small region is involved and there is nothing lower in the body to where gravity can pull the fluid.)

Here some tips I found while Googling about weight loss…

In order to make the most of your weight loss program, finding the most effective ways to burn fat will maximize your results and minimize your waistline! Follow these 10 tips for fat burning if you want to lose weight and lead a healthier way of life.

1.) Drink More Water

One of the best weight loss secrets is to ditch the sodas and stick to water! Experts say you should drink approximately eight glasses of water a day to stay hydrated and healthy. Instead of turning to calorie-laden or sugar-rich drinks, grab a refreshing glass of water. In addition to flushing toxins out of your system, drinking water encourages you to build muscle.

2.) Eat More Meals

A traditional three-meals-a-day plan just will not cut it if you are in the market to burn fat. Your body is not able to metabolize large meals and will quickly turn any excess into fat. Many experts believe you should eat six small meals a day. Be sure you cut back on your food consumption at each meal, or else you will be doubling your intake–and doubling your fat storage!

3.) Work Out with Weights

One great way to maximize the amount of fat you are burning is to add a weight program to your work out routine. Weight training will not only tone your physique, but will strengthen your body and improve your general health. Lifting weights will also burn calories and fat more quickly than traditional exercising, and it will also boost your metabolism.

4.) Choose Protein

Choose protein-laden foods for boosting your metabolism and enabling your body to burn fat rapidly. In addition to burning fat, consuming a protein-enriched diet will help you rebuild muscle after work outs and maintain leanness of that muscle. Wisely choose proteins for your diet. Take great care to pick proteins low in fat so you do not consume extra calories.

5.) Cut Calories Wisely

It may be tempting to drastically cut your calorie intake when starting a healthy lifestyle. Instead, use a step method when cutting your calorie intake to minimize risk. Reducing calories too quickly results in your body rapidly burning all available calories, which will lower your metabolism. Furthermore, you are more likely to maintain your healthy lifestyle through this step method.

6.) Reward Yourself

When it comes to successfully dieting to burn the most fat, be sure to reward yourself. Everyone has temptations and favorite treats–so allow indulgence. You will be less likely to cheat on your new diet if you grant yourself small rewards. If you are a chocolate lover, treat yourself to a small square of chocolate or single chocolate kiss each evening.

7.) Avoid Marathon Work Outs

The biggest mistake people make when looking to burn fat and lose weight is to have one long, extensive work out session. Instead, break up your work out plan into small chunks throughout the day. Take a brisk walk in the morning, enjoy a work out at lunch, and then exercise more in the evening. In addition to staying active all day long, breaking up your work out will better maintain your metabolism.

8.) Mix It Up

Choosing to engage in a variety of quality exercises will keep your interest and best allow you to maintain your goal of burning fat. Instead of doing the same exercises each day–mix it up! Opt to swim laps one day, jog another, and bike the next. Rotating your activities will not only allow you to experience a variety of athletics, it will also allow you to better tone your body.

9.) Skip Happy Hour

For those individuals who want to burn fat quickly, avoid alcohol. Rich in sugars and carbohydrates, alcohol is a calorie-rich substance. These empty calories can add up quickly and take away from necessary nutrients that should be included in your daily diet. Furthermore, alcohol acts as an inhibitor for burning fat, allowing your body to store it more quickly.

10.) Try a Low GI Diet

A low GI diet is an excellent method of burning fat quickly. This diet encourages individuals to consume high amounts of foods with low rankings on the Glycemic Index. These foods are nutritious and will aid your body in burning fats and calories at a quicker pace. This diet includes many of your favorite fruits, vegetable, meats, dairy, and grain products.

Hmmm… ..I shall push my long cardio session and lift more weights.. but the hardest part is too eat 6 smaller meals per day.. that quite a daunting task… you agree?

I have been accumulating extra weight since 6 months ago. This is due to tones of workload and some personal problems (ain’t tellin). Well I know that I need to get back to my old body shape and I need to do it fast! I have been taking L Carnitine (legist stuff otc – over the counter) Here is some info about L-Carnitine
L-carnitine is very similar to the nonessential amino acid carnitine. It performs some of the same functions, such as helping metabolize food into energy.

L-carnitine transfers long-chain fatty acids, such as triglycerides into mitochondria (a cell’s energy powerhouse), where they may be oxidized to produce energy. L-carnitine is a very popular supplement that promotes growth and development. It is also used for fat-burning, increasing energy, and improving resistance to muscle fatigue. L-carnitine has also been shown to help build muscle. is also great in dieting, as it reduces feelings of hunger and weakness.

Studies have been conducted on L-carnitine since as early as 1937. They show that the body’s cardiovascular system can greatly benefit from its intake. There are a variety of published studies that show L-carnitine is useful in increasing the heart’s output and improving it’s functioning, as well as stimulating the heart’s energy supply and improving cardiac performance.
