Flattening my ab :)- by Lisa Irby

The best exercise for the stomach is probably not the one you're thinking of. It's not the traditional sit-up or ab crunch. It's not even ab related.

So before you go out and buy the Gut Buster 2000, you should know that the best exercise you can do for your stomach won't cost you a red cent.

All you need are your two feet because the exercise that I'm talking about is none other than walking or jogging.

If you've found that your stomach is flabbier than you'd prefer it to be, it's likely there are other parts of your body that need firming up as well.

Your body cannot just eliminate fat in one area. So if you are trying to crunch your way to a flatter stomach without exercising the rest of your body, you'll never see results.

To achieve a flat stomach, your entire body has to get leaner. Read that sentence again.

Start by doing cardio exercises to get your heart rate up and improve your metabolism. A good fast-paced walk three times per week is a great way to accomplish this. Not only does this burn calories, but it's good for your heart.

Did you know that a good, consistent cardio workout can increase your metabolism by up to 24 hours? Yep, it's true!

A Quick Exercise for Your Metabolism

Below is a sample workout that you can do to help give your metabolism a quick boost. It will help your body burn calories more efficiently if performed regularly.

1) Perform 30 seconds of hard exercise (i.e. run in place as fast as you can)

2) Perform one minute of moderate exercise (i.e. a casual jog or brisk walk).

3) Repeat this process 10 times.

4) Cool down for 3-5 minutes

Remember...

In addition to a healthy diet, walking and/or jogging is one of the best stomach exercises you can perform because it raises your metabolism enough to burn excess calories all over your body.

Total body fitness is the key to a flat stomach, not just spot toning one area. Why not kick-start your fitness program with a nice, fast-paced walk 3-4 times per week? Your stomach and the rest of your body will say, "Thank you." :)

fuuhh lega.

Nothing big but I gotta have this out of my chest.

 

Me and ikan is quite relieved as we did the TALK with bibik last nite. It was put on hold since forevever! Ok, at first we wanted to test her for 2 weeks, then planned the TALK. But unfortunately, we had this ‘thing’ after a month she was with us and even tho the TALK was crucial that time, we had it postponed.. sbb- ikan was always away and his badminton nites and our macam2 thots that made us procrastinate. I did however, took the cheeky way out and asked my mom to slow talk and what not.

 

But at last, we TALKed last nite. Fuuhh.. debar babe! Ntah apa2 ntah.. nak cakap ngan bibik pun debar. :p

But I guess all went well. I am satisfied of the things we pointed out. Satisfied of the things she pointed out too.

 

So, mintak2, pray to Allah that this relationship brings goodness to all- my family and her’s too. Amin.

 

Ps- thanks to kakak, prema, kaklong, abang + kak asna and my bid- azury for the advices. Tolong doakan yeh?

 

 

aqish sudah sekolah~~

huhuhu

 

aqish started her orientation today at atfal excel. She was ever excited since last night, woke up at 6.30am. Showered. Brushed her teeth. Made some jokes. Singing in the car.

 

*in front of school gate*

……

…… speechless and reluctant to move -_-“ apsal ni qish?? Tadi kan semangat waja?

 

Heheheh aqish aqish… that’s my daughter everybody. Hehehe dragon je lebih J

 

But it went well, by the looks of it la. Hopefully she can really learn and have fun there.

 

Belum dapat uniform so, for the time being, she’ll be wearing her own clothes. Heheeh x sabar nak tengok aqish pakai uniform.

gambar2 long due.. on busyra

hmm.. too bad i wasnt able to upload and show you my kilang bantal @ rumah auntie nor. but, for whats its worth, here are the pics of the final stage of Busyra Turns 1 project.

mengikat riben pink on the goodie bag by uwan & bibik

ready for shipping :)

Bantal Busyra for her nursery frens, with other goodies.

with the kids' name on it. hehe busyra pun kenelah dapat jugak :)

seronok sampai sekarang.

i hope the kids loved (and use) it :)

Busyra is 1 year old!

Sekali lagi, I am a very poyo mommy J

 

For Busyra’s first birthday, I made plans 1 month before the birthday. Unlike aqish, where I always plan last minute J sorry qish, I guess this is kinda like compensating adik on mama’s 2^nd baby syndrome :p.

 

Anyway, for adik, I didn’t cook that much. But I think, effort wise, this time menang kott…

The menu:-

1-       Bubur Lambuk- her abah prepared this, sgt sedapp Jyummy

2-       Kek Coklat- for aqish, I usually buy from SR or Kings.. but kali ni cam rajin plak, lagipun sgt senang je kan??

3-       Chicken nugget

Semua makanan yg busyra can eat. Ehhehe kenela piker anak kan.. sbb beday die. Heh.

 

For goodie bag:-

1-       Homemade bantal with the kids name on it…

2-       London roll- ye ke ni nama die? Comot gile busyra makan, kiutnye.. thee hee hehe (poyo lagi)

3-       Giant jelly

4-       Balloons

 

Sekali lagi, no candies.. the girls’ abah insisted.

Yang paling havoc is making the bantal tu. 1 month planning beb! Why 1 month? Sebab then I have to sew 30 little pillows, that’s why.. tapi, lucky me, when I tossed the plan to my mom and aunt (auntie nor yg sgt hebat), they were the one who were more excited. So, at week 1 I bought the kains for the bantal and transfer papers. Week 2 balik kampong to buy the innings of the pillow, memula ingat nak pakai kabu since I know where to get them. Skali tu auntie nor suggest to use the poly apa ntah.. ala, yg ade in our normal bantal2 tu. Sgt murah, 1 kilo for rm16. 2 kilo is enough already tapi I gatal buy 4.. heheh (for sendiri guna jugak nih…). The same week, i.e. time balik kampong tu, my grandma- uwan greatest, mom- yg plg hebat and supportive, auntie nor and lil sis turned auntie nor’s living room into a kilang membuat bantal. The sewing, ironing, masukkan inning, semua setel kat situ. And, the best part is.. dalam less than 4 hours, 30 bijik bantal siap ok?? Hebat sehh.

Not only that, siap ade QC lagi (courtesy of my grandma @ anyang busyra insisting that the weigh of each bantal should be the same, kasi adil katanye…). It was the most productive week ever.

 

Hence, production was 2 weeks ahead of schedule. Aku sayang gile derang nih. (adik, you should be grateful to have such a supportive family tau!!! Remember this when you’re old!)

 

Anyway, syiok tgk bebudak ni peluk2 goodie bag derang. Hehehe.

 

 

great to have you babe!

When I hear stories about romantic couples, real married couples.. Especially those ‘older’ couples…

Don’t you feel the sudden gratefulness of your own spouse? J

FW: [sim] ALERT : Taktik penjenayah terkini

Got an email from a friend..

Please be careful.
For your information.   ( Very Urgent )

If you see a guy (especially Indian) who rides a motorbike with a bloody hand knocking on your
window demanding you to stop and asking for tissue paper to clean the blood when you are driving a
car, remember DO NOT  stop the car at all. Even if he damages your car or holds the side mirrors
tightly, DO NOT   stop the car but drive directly to the nearest police station. This kind of
criminal tactics have been reported in about 40 cases in Seremban, K. Lumpur, Shah Alam, P.Jaya and
Klang Town police stations (actually around the whole country).

These guys are mainly Indian gangsters,  They work in a group and dare to commit this crime even in
crowded areas where nobody will dare to stop the car to help you. The main purpose of this dirty
tactic is to rob you and/ or even commit rape if you are female driver driving alone. Please forward
this message to the people you care about.
