How Long Does it Takes to Slim Down

How long does it takes to slim down after giving birth? It varies from one mommy to another mommy and from one pregnancy to another pregnancy. Some can get their pre-pregnancy weight effortless without taking any ephedrine diet pills. Some can only dream of getting their pre-pregnancy weight. As for me, I did not see my pre-pregnancy weight until I gave birth to my 3rd child. And I got my teenage weight after my 4th! Now I wonder what will my weight be after I get my 5th and 6th child! ;)

Broad Chest

Men with broad chest will always get a 2nd glance for me. You should take a look at my hubby’s broad chest. It is so sexy and macho! hahaha. Oh ya! That was like 20 years ago. :P Now, the broad chest is still there but the muscles are gone and replaced by fats. Thanks to the newly found “toys”; the dumb bells we got from my apartment, hubby is motivated to get this muscles back. He is also reducing his food intake but not yet consider to take nitrix to loose weight faster. Hope he will not give up this time.

Bleeding Gum

I have not been taking my calcium supplements for more than a week because I don’t experience any back pain and has been drinking milo with milk and eating cheese quite frequent. Until a few days ago, I noticed that my gum bleeds each time I brush my teeth. It is a sign that I am lack of calcium. Furthermore, my breastmilk production has resumed. So now, am making sure I take at least one pill of calcium supplement a day.

Non 12 Step Program

Drugs addiction in teenager is so rampant now. What has happened to our future generation? I blame it on the media and the government. As parents we are forced to work more than we should to give the best to our children as portrait in the media; car, branded clothing, more cash, private or international school etc. Due to all this, parents do not have time to nurture their children according to God’s way and let the world took over parenting. That is why you see there is so many drugs addiction and alcohol centre coming up like this Malibu Horizon which is well known for their non 12 step program.

Smoking in the Toilet

I think we are the only Cyber Cafe in town that does not permit smoking in our premises. We have a big “No Smoking” sign on the wall and another one in the toilet because we have customers smoking in the toilet. Even that, they ignore the sign and smoke in the toilet. Even after hubby scolded him, he will still repeat it again after a while. I think arh, we must change the sign to osha signs - DANGER! No Smoking. Let them have the idea that the toilet will explode if the smoke in there. :lol:

No More Itchy Legs

Thanks to the purple boots, I no longer suffers from itchy legs which might turn into eczema if I did not do something about it. Now, each time when I need to go hang my laundry and bring them in, I will surely wear the purple boots to protect my legs from the grasses and weeds which grow at the laundry ground. I hope soon, hubby will be able to cement that whole area then no more wearing purple boots for me unless I need to visit the farm.

Eating Every 2 Hours

I have a small tummy. Hmmm…maybe I have trained my tummy since varsity days to eat small portion as to reduce spending much on food. Since then, I can’t eat much BUT I get hungry very fast. At times, I will eat every 2 hourly. Sometimes, I will eat healthily. Sometimes, I will just grab whatever I can find on the table or in the fridge. But recently, the food that I am taking can guarantee that I will be a fat pig in a few months time. Not sure whether hydroxycut can help me become a skinny praying mantis again. hehehe.

Tummy Bound

In order to reduce his backache and instead of taking the best weight loss supplements to shed some extra fat on his body, he is using my tummy trimmer which I use to bound my tummy after giving birth. It helps him to sit up straight and eat lesser. True you know that a good postures is very important to eliminate backaches. So, when your mommy nags you to sit up straight, don’t whine; just do it. :P

“Spare Tyre” Causes Backache

Hubby has a bigger tummy now. He still can’t figure out what causes it. He was even tempted to try out one of the top ten diet pills to loose that “spare tyre” but he chickened out.

Now he is suffering backache and he is blaming it on that “spare tyre”. Could it be that the extra weight pushing on his backbones? Just like when a pregnant lady often have backaches during her last trimester.

When The Man Is Down

Hubby hardly fall sick but when he does, he really stay sick for a few days! He caught the bug from us. We are all recovering now. It is more difficult for hubby to recover when the weather is cold. It has been raining for a few days. When he is down, his body needs heat. He needs hot weather, he needs to eat a lot to heat up his body and he needs to drink hot and heaty drinks like ginger tea.

Having your own business does not allow you to take medical leave unless you have someone to replace you. Unfortunately his part-time staff is not able to work this whole week. So, hubby still have to go to work when he is sick. How I wish I can take over for him but I have my 4 children to mind.

Please pray with me that God will heal him ASAP. :)

Do I Have To Take Prenatal Vitamins When Pregnant

I heard testimonies about prenatal vitamins can make you and your baby fat. Come to think of it, it is true you know. When I was pregnant with my first child, I took prenatal vitamins until I am due to deliver. Due to it, my weight increased 17kg! With my 2nd child, I took until 20 weeks. Weight increased more than 10kg but it was hard to shed that extra weight. I was lingering at 52kg only after 6 months delivery. Come to No.3 & No.4, I did not take any prenatal pills. My pregnancy weight increased less than 10kg and after a month, I am back to my pre-pregnancy weight. Both baby are strong and healthy. So, you don’t really have to take the prenatal vitamins if you watch your diet during pregnancy. But I do take my normal supplements though. ;)

Cycling To Get a Flatter Tummy

For the past 2 weeks hubby was able to cycle to work, thanks to one of hubby’s part-time staffs who has been working for almost every night. Due to cycling, he has a flatter tummy now. As he was looking at the sensa weight loss product online, he was very happy that he does not need to swallow any of them yet. His next mission is to jog to work because he wants a more complete body workout.

More Breakouts

My hormone is changing again and now it is for the worst. :( I have so many breakouts but I couldn’t be bothered to get any adult acne treatments. Reason being, I am no longer young, I am a mother of 4 and hubby never has any problem with the acne on my face. You know, he fell in love with me months before I get the worst breakouts in my life and he did not leave me. To him, inner beauty is more important than outward. *ahem* ;)

What is Panau in English

Panau is called Pityriasis Versicolor in English. Something to do with overgrowth of yeast fungus and it is very infectious. It becomes worst when one who has it sweats or eat too much vinegar.

I got a lot of them now coz hubby has it which he got from his dad! I tried a few types of Panau ointment by they did not work. :( So far, there is no one medication that works like magic; a few times apply, they will be gone forever.

I wonder whether those eczema cure medication can work for Panau?

Love Our Body

Ever since I lost weight until I am underweight, I am popping more supplements to boost up my health and energy. To me, it is ok to be underweight as long you are fit and healthy.

I am not very particular about the supplements that I take whether it is cheap vitamins or those expensive ones. As long as it works, I am game for it.

So far, so good. I did not loose weight further. My weight increased back to 45kg. I think I like to maintain at 45kg. ;)

Wrinkle Reducer

Child minding 6 children does have its side effects. I think I am developing more wrinkles and high blood pressure. It is easy to mind my own children because I have disciplined them since young to be obedient. I also thank God for blessing me with such obedient children. Prayer really works. Unfortunately, my nieces are the ones that makes my blood boils every day when they are here. Their parents did not discipline them at all and let them have their way. Reason given by my brother, “They are young, they don’t know what they are doing. They will behave when they grow older.” It will be too late to mold them when they grow older!

So, while they are here, I try to discipline them my way but I think I really need one wrinkle reducer right now. :lol: Very stressful you know. If you want to sponsor one for me, I will take the prototype 37c. It has the perfect blend of powerful anti-aging ingredients to help your skin repair, rejuvenate, and protect your skin.

Sensitive Nose

For the past few days, I have develop sensitive nose. I am very sensitive to dust but now, I am very sensitive to smell.

Normally, I won’t gag smelling my baby soiled diapers but now even the soiled diapers is a meter away, I felt like gagging already. And my nose is very sensitive to strong body odour too. I really don’t look forward to my MIL’s maid coming back here! My nose can even tell know whether my girls wash their private part or not without needing to go close to it to sniff!

This is not the side effect of human growth hormone. But another type of hormones is being produced in my body.

Near is Blur

I am going to be 36 years old by end of this year but due to the challenges in life, I think I am growing older faster that the rest who are of the same age as I.

I am short sighted and has been wearing glasses since I was 14 years old. 20 years later, I have long sighted! I discovered it when I was taking my meals. I was wondering why is my rice looks blurry. Then I took my bible and tried reading it. I find it hard to read the tiny prints.

*sigh* I guess it is also mainly due to too much time spent facing the computer screen. Time to consider getting a magnifying glass? hahaha or maybe I’ll just buy the discount prescription glasses over the counter.

Hubby Starts Cycling Again

I wanted to introduce to hubby the top rated diet pills but he told me to hold to that thought because he wants to cycle to work again.

True enough, he cycled to work today. I am sure tonight he will come home with aches all over his body because he has not been cycling for many months! My fingers are sure gonna be the victim tonight; got to massage his aching body.

All because many commented that he is FAT. hahahaha.
