After we stop at East Coast Hawker Center, the next stop will be Tanjong Rhu where I planned to do a rain check. At Tanjong Rhu, my left knee is creaking.

After 30 minutes rest, I am all good to go. Reach home without further issues. 85km

2491kcal Had problem trying to sleep, the mind is just to active. After 15 mins, I decided to take melatonin again, given that I only had 3+ hours of sleep last night. The melatonin is working great. Not sure if it is psychological, but I wanna sleep e moment I popped e gummy into my mouth. Had 2 kosong + coffee for breakfast. The back of my heel (need to find e medical term) is acting up the whole morning. Decided to skip riding to work today Mindful to have one veg and one meat with rice for lunch. Celebrated Abilash Birthday with a brownie cake. Had Chicken Chop with salad and corn with Anna.  Anna got inspired by my side orders but i gotta eat her raw vegetables. Lol Drink is almond drink.

  2912 kcal. Mindful of what I am eating daily now. Cycled to Work But the cutting of calories last night is disastrous. Dull persistent headaches throughout the night and the morning. Also causing me to have extremely poor sleep. I am losing skeletal muscle mass too. I need to tweak this weight loss regimen carefully. I too have to combat my mortal fear head-on, strength training. This should bring my muscle mass up and body fat down. Problem is where to start. Felt slightly tired on and off during the day, but not sleepy at all which should be a good thing. Went to Casuarina Curry for lunch. I ordered plain maggi goreng which is still high in calories. Had dinner of no rice, 2 meats and 2 vegetables which calories is equivalent to rice with 1m1v. Indulged in a couple of snacks after dinner. :(  Ice cream, cheetos and a piece of nutella cookie.

1752kcal / 112.7kg Took Melatonin before going to sleep Finally had a good night sleep. Woke up thinking it is 3:30am but was glad it is 7am. Has Fan Choy and Kopi O kosong for breakfast. Cycled to Work Lunch is McChicken Wrap meal. I should have swapped the fries for corn. Dinner, I decided to go with just 4 scoops of yogurt. I must admit it is not easy as I am suffering from headache, which I guess is from the lack of food.  Probably my body adapting to the changes. Will try not to take Melatonin tonight. Else I am worried my body gets too reliant and get immune to the medication.

1781kcal See doctor for my monthly bp medication Told him about my recent insomnia and lethargy. He believes it is my body adapting to the recent changes. My Huawei Band 10 came. Took it out for an hr walk. Thank my lucky stars that I test it today, else my rides to work tomorrow would not have been recorded as I did not set the Strava synchronisation with Huawei Health. *Fixed* L-Carnitine came too. But given the feedback that frequent toilet breaks is required, I will start either this weekend or next Monday. Took melatonin before sleep. Took the recommended 2 gummies per serving. The gummies work wonders and I am asleep within 15 minutes.

1876kcal Din sleep well.  After breakfast with Shannon, I went for TCM Acupuncture for my weight management. The physician is really chatty. We chat about our army life, my marriage/divorce, my kids and my diet. Given that I used to lead an active life, he surmises my weight could be attributed to stress. I look happy, so it could be internal stress. He say I should find a girlfriend. For motivation, mental and physical well being. Interesting guy 😅 I am to have weekly acupuncture sessions. Had chicken rice for lunch. This stall checked all e boxes. 💪🏼 No more carbo today, I hope 😅 Bought salad bowls for me and the kids from Cold Storage. Tasty and nice. Will buy them more often if I have the chance. Tried Cobani Greek Yogurt. Ohh... hard to stomach... Vera added condensed milk and it helps. Lol Greek Yogurt calories quite high though. Half a cup is 80kcal.

1857kcal Woke up at 3:50am by the rain. Walk to Khatib bus stop wanting to send the gals off for their first 21km. The MRT gates were locked. I have to make a big detour and by the time I reached the bridge their bus were preparing to leave.  All the best for ur first 21km, ladies! Jia you! Went back to sleep and woke up at 8:50am feeling lethargic. Dun feel hungry , hence I decide to skip breakfast. Without breakfast, I feel lack of energy but I shall see if it will work overtime. Had lunch with my dad. Spend my afternoon blogging and doing some work. Had Chicken Rice with Shannon for dinner. Told Shannon, a good chicken rice ought to have good flavourful rice together with soft chewy chicken. Our coffeeshop chicken rice stall has to understand that their rice although moist, lack in flavour. Lol. Spend most of the night surfing 6/6 Lazada and bought a few items. 1) Small Table 2) Zip Puller 3) Huawei Band 10 4) Logitech MX Anywhere 3S 5) Logitech MX Keys Mini 6) EC Sports L-Carni...

 2686kcal   Did a morning run and ended my run at KTPH Kopitiam. Had a hearty KPT breakfast set. Had lunch with Stella. Took out all the ingredients I bought a few weeks ago and started doing the juicing. The effort took 2 hours. Now I can understand why some people will rather buy directly from the stores. Dinner is cai fun again, cos there is pig liver. Lol Maybe of the calories intake lately, I feel lethargic when it near sleeping time.

2058kcal It was raining heavily this morning and still drizzling when I left for work, hence no cycle 2 work. Went to Khatib for lunch as some of the colleagues wanna eat mala. Had Yogurt and bread for dinner. These days I have the tendency to feel tired around 10pm-11pm, likely cos of the lack of heavy food. 2058kcal  Not sure if it is a good thing or not. Took economic rice (2 veg 1 meat) then realised that 2 veg and 1 meat may not be entirely satisfying. Just like I realised why I am putting on weight so fast the last few months. I am following the 3 meals a day, plus these 3 meals, some of them are carbo heavy. Plus I snack a lot both at home and in office. We have a Nescafe machine in office, I will have 1-2 cups of Soy Milk/Teh Tarik a day. Anything from the machine is unhealthy. Lol. I still ignore the signs, even when I see my waist line bulging and my belt getting looser. At least now I know that I have to own the problem and is trying to fix them one problem at a time. I ...

1978kcal  Took Fan Choy for breakfast Cycled to Work To celebrate Raja Farewell, we had Swensen. I took cornflake chicken + 1 scoop of ice cream. Upon reaching home, I went for a run. Did 5km in an hour. Now my thighs are pretty sore. Had a croissant and milk for supper.

 2323kcal Cycled to Work Had Ban Mian for lunch. Realised the calories is similar to economic rice. I guess the only way to reduce calories is to reduce carbo. Strangely after chatting with Rach, I feel like I need to make the changes. Self Care, Getting Fitter, Losing Weight.  I think cos I see how she can lives such a disciplined life makes me want to emulate her, my 偶像。

Wake up and mop the floor. Lol Had a light lunch then left for CloudOps Townhall. With the dinner buffet, I dunno how to count the calories. Let just consider it a cheat day today. Levitation. Lol
