Team Masterchef challenge!

Went for a 'Masterchef' challenge this afternoon as a team building event.

It was pretty fun, and i got to create dessert (baked banana chocolate pastry). Quite fun and not that difficult to do. heh. Had also chance to know Audrey and Jeremy better, so that is good as well. And of course, get to build up teamwork with the team as well. heh.

Towards the end, had picked up tomato craving. So i now seen and also tried and completed a rose craved from tomatoes. Too bad i missed the carrot craving into flowers.

All in all, good fun. =)

Well, back to work.. looks like it will be a very packed weekend. xP

Weight loss challenge update

Well, i am back doing the program after having taken over from Jace last Thurs. So getting a bit busier, but still manage to get out of office in time for a 5km run today.

It is the 3rd time i confirmed clocked above 5km. Only managed to hit 4 plus km on Monday. Progress is pretty good and i am quite happy about it. My lowest recorded weight was today, after the run with all that water loss, at 71.9kg (5.9kg lost!). Always nice to hit a new low. The last low was 72.5kg after jogging last Thurs i think.

Gradually losing those kgs, which is definitely great news!

Going to continue on my low calorie diet (1500-1700/day), 3 jogs a week at least and Yoga Sun Salutation every morning. Less than 8 weeks to go to lose 5 more kgs. keep it up!!

Gaining ground on my weight lost challenge.... a tad bit too slow though

After having read up and followed calorie tracking and exercise regime, had loast about 2.4-2.7 kgs in Jul. It was rather slower than planned, so i thought i had hit a plateau. Until this afternoon when i re-checked the number of calories i need to reduce by to drop my weight by 1kg.

I found out it is abt 7,700 calories per KG!!!! I had previously pegged it as 3,500 calories per kg, when it actually is to one pound, not kg. My bad for going to a US website and didnt realise that the person who posted it got his units mixed up. xP

No wonder i am off my target. Well, this means that i have to move up a notch and STOP on all unnecessary calories + more exercise!

Next goal, to see the number 73.x on my digital scale before Sunday. Previous low was yesterday morning at 74.1kg. heh.
