MWM2017

Back in March, I joined the Malaysian Women Marathon 2017 with one of my besties, Fya. Actually, I did ask my other friends to join coz it will be more fun (and more selfies together 😂) but only Fya could make it. Anyway, I had so much fun running with Fya and other runners in Shah Alam routes. I am quite proud of myself because I was having a toothache after a tooth extraction, BUT I did not want to miss this event. I was so excited to join because I need to get the momentum to run after keep procrastinating it! Alhamdulillah. Anyway, it was just a fun run for a start and a beginner like me. It was only for 6km. In sha Allah in future, I would love to join the race.

 6.30 am in the morning!

 I was struggling with my toothache pose ! hahah

 the crowd was amazing. I did recognize some familiar faces like Aishah Sinclair, Farah Fauzana and Vanidah Imran.

 And! We stumbled upon Kak Lin! Our ex-colleague. 

 So..automatically we menggedik 

 Our first marathon medals! Thank you fya for joining me! It was fun I love you!

 More running to come hihi

Fitness: Zumba and Badminton

I am not really into adventurous activities. Like, you can never ask me to do bungee-jumping. Never. I am a chicken when it comes to this kind of activity. But I love active lifestyle. And Alhamdulillah nowadays, I manage to slot in some times for several fitness activities. I join Zumba finess every Wednesday. It's been a  month now. I feel so much energetic now and my body feels so much lighter now.. Alhamdulillah. I am not aiming for skinny body but for healthy and fit body.

 These are my Zumba freak bffs. Fya and Tika

 Also Bayne who has joint us.

I really love Zumba. Actually I love dancing. I still remember before I got married and especially when I was in secondary school, I love playing on my favorite dance tracks and move like anything that I wanted. I loved seeing music videos from Britney Spears, Back Street Boys and my fav dance-song is 'Lady' by Modjo. Till now, I will play that number in my car when I want to feel more rejuvenated. Maybe that's why I was never gained more than 50 kg when I was a lil bit younger. So, I guess Zumba is just what I need to do. I hope I can go everyday, but heyyy.. mother needs to do what she needs to do most, read: my lovely boys!

Then, I am also thankful to be surrounded by fitness freaks just like my friends. So, we planned for a badminton activity last Thursday's night! Can you believe it? A weekday-night. Anything for fitness and friends.. I am not really good in badminton but I surely know how to smash ;p

It went well.. We sweated ourselves and the kids were having fun. Thank you to Mirul, Lin's husband- he is one of the gym instructors in Glenmarie Holiday Inn Golf Club. So, we had a very nice place to play badminton.

Diet dan berat badan

Antara benda paling penting bila kita dah reach 30's is kesihatan. Memang ada yg dah jaga since muda belia lagi (bagusnya u olls). But untuk orang2 yang sweet tooth memanjang mcm aku ni, 30 is a turning point, of course. Rasa macam oh my... dah tua (have to admit this), dah x remaja, dah tak 20s.. Boleh?

So..mula la rasa sampai bila nk bake choc cake, kek batik pastu diri sendiri yg habiskan 60% of it dalam masa seminggu? Sampai bila nak makan tanpa kira kalorie.. or at least the negative effect of it?

Dah makin berumur, penyakit pun macam2. Alhamdulillah.. so far belum ada penyakit yg serius. Semoga Allah swt terus panjangkan pinjaman yang ini. 

I used to be called as "papan" or "kayu" when I was in school years. Sampai ada my aunt yg stress tiap kali peluk aku "cubala berisi sikit Na...rasa tulang je".. masa tu wpun sedikit tension, tapi tak amik pusing pun sbb I did not do anything wrong. Aku makan macam org lain. Banyak je. Siap bertambah. Sedap gila kot apa je yg mak aku masak. And I have to admit because of my mom la, aku jadi a food lover. I love trying all types of food. And I know which food tastes nice and which is not. Sbb according to my husband, semua food same je pada die hehe. Not for me. If tempat tu first time try x sedap, so I won't come back. Tapi tu la, masa dulu, makan la banyak mana pun, hormon tembam belum mahu muncul. 

Start masuk 20s, hormon tembam muncul. Asal makan 2 pinggan nasi je, bahagialah perut dan pinggul ini. Tapi... yang bestnyer, cepat naik cepat pulak turun. Maksudnya, let say minggu tu busy betul, makan pun terpaksa skip2.. 5 kg terus turun. So, boleh plan diet sesuka hati. But still makan je semua benda. Tak fikir too sugarize ke, fatty ke, belasah.

So, bila dah beranak, hormon tembam memang best friend. BFF sangat dekat perut and pinggul. Agak terkejut sebab ingt ke selamanya boleh plan diet sesuka hati hehe. Pastu reaching 30s.. hormon tembam dah susah nk berpisah pulak. Macam liat betul nak pergi. Kalau diet seminggu baru turun 1 kg. Tapi I blame my eating habit. Anak2 tido lambat so tgh2 mlm tu apa lagi cari la makanan. Aku ni, kalau hari kerja, mmg senang sangat nak diet, tapi kalau weekend or cuti, selamat tinggal la. Can not resist.

So, apa yang aku boleh buat sekarang ni, diet on weekdays (x makan nasi or skip lunch) tapi bila weekend je... good bye la cik diet. 

Before I get married... my weight was 48 kg (158 cm)

After first child ...... 51 kg

After second child .....53 kg

Now..... 52-55 kg

Satu je yg aku perasan kalau kurangkan portion nasi or x makan nasi..memang nampakla penurunan tu. Makan lauk je. Ada la hasil jugak. Lagi satu, I join zumba skrg. Seminggu sekali je mampu sekarang ni. Tapi Alhamdulillah. Aku pn mmg suka dance dari dulu. I really hope I can reduce my weight to 50 kg before getting pregnant again.. InsyaAllah

post-natal weight

this is me after 2 weeks i gave birth to fahri. my weight at that time was around 57 kg! ok..before i gave birth to Fahri, my weight was 65 kg! then, a day after i gave birth to him, i was 59 kg! i felt like wanted to faint all over again after knowing my post-natal weight at that time...it was really hard to get the pre-pregnancy weight back...and of course the pre-pregnancy shape n curve as well!

55 kg at 44-day after confinement. huhu.
look at my hip...that would be the most problematic part for most mothers!

during cukur jambul fahri- about 50-day during confinement- 54 kg. look at my chubby face!

2 months after giving birth- my weight was 53 kg. still, my hip needed help on that particular time

then, i managed to lose weight at 52 kg.phewww

51.5 kg...during company dinner

now, my weight is 50 kg (the lowest) and can go up to51.5 kg sometimes. well, i would love to have my pre-pregnancy weight, which is 49 kg back...but i am thankful that i am very close to that number...alhamdulillah... FYI, i do not take any 'jamu' supplement to lose my weight because i wanted to see whether i should depend on it or not. but of course, for the next baby, i would like to eat 'jamu' as well.....

Sabar itu separuh daripada iman

Huhu..it's been 27 days already since i gave birth to Fari. How time flies...When I was pregnant for 9 months, my weight was 65 kg! Yup.. i didnt believe it myself. Even though my friends said it is a normal weigh for 9 months preggy ( who have same size like me ), i felt that i was overweight. I do eat a lot during that time. It just not only about me- getting pregnant, but my appetite was like super-unusual! i wanted to eat everything..well, i thought i'm getting bigger n heavier due to my pregnancy n i have another human being inside me--but uppss i guess i was wrong. After i gave birth, my weigh reduced to 59kg..i was so shock..i thought i will have back my actual weight which is 50 kg haha...

Now, after 27 days of confinement, my weight is 55 kg...huhu..i never thought it is so hard to loose weight after giving birth and getting back my actual weight and size. It's ok mama...u still have time b4 going back to work. ok..need to work harder on it!
