So in order to keep track of my achievement (LOL), I'll update it over here.

Hmm.. I think I'll list down what I ate for the day too. Problem is, I can't remember what I had today. Well, maybe I should just write list it down tomorrow onward. LOL!

I Am Still Around
Aww, this blog has been long abandoned. LOL!

I am still around, by the way. Not dead yet, thankfully. Haven't worked a miracle on the weight part, been neglecting the exercise and so far, have only used the Nike Jump Rope ONCE! That's right. O-N-C-E! Hahahahaha!

And guess what's my latest toy?

Tadaaaaaaaaaaa!!


A brand new Osim uZap King! Woohooo!

I'm not sure if it really slims you down, but I'm gonna try it. :D
I'll let you know when that happens. Promise!

Stop Painful Period?
Do you suffer from extremely painful period that you thought you're going to die every month?
I do, and it was the must painful moment in life which I get to go through every single month... *sigh*

Two of my friends however told me that "anti-pregnancy" pills helped a lot in reducing the pain! Not only it regulates the period "properly", it also balances your hormone - so I heard. Hmm, this is something new. It'll probably work for me.. but I also heard tales about weight gains from taking the pills. O.o

Blueberry Cake Recipe

I HAD to take this recipe when I found it from here. This would make a perfect serving for Christmas. Or maybe anytime soon, when I'm ready to put on the apron and bake. :D


Ingredients

1 cup plus 1 teaspoon of all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon kosher salt
4 oz (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup sugar
¼ teaspoon vanilla
2 large eggs
2 cups blueberries, rinsed and drained (may substitute frozen blueberries, or substitute some of the blueberries for raspberries)
1 teaspoon lemon juice
Confectioner's sugar

Method

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 9-inch springform pan and dust with flour. Or use a 9-inch round cake pan that has been greased and dusted with flour and lined on the bottom with parchment paper.

2. In a small bowl combine 1 cup of flour with the baking powder and salt and set aside.

3. Using a mixer, cream the butter, sugar and vanilla until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time and beat until well blended. Reduce the speed of the mixer to low and gradually add the flour mixture. Beat until smooth. Pour the batter into the baking pan.

4. In a medium bowl, combine the berries with the remaining teaspoon of flour and the lemon juice. Spoon the berry mixture over the batter.

5. Bake for 1 hour at 350°F, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes. If using a springform pan, slide a thin knife around the edges of the cake to release it from the pan before you release and remove the springform. If using a cake pan, slide a thin knife around the edges of the cake and invert it onto a cake rack. Transfer the cake to a platter, berry side up. Dust the cake with confectioner's sugar before serving.

Serves 6.

I Am Considered Slim?
Oh, this is something funny for me. A friend just made a remark that I need not lose any weight as I am already SLIM. Woohoo! Such beautiful music to my ears. But of course, any sane woman wouldn't take those words to heart. I KNOW I'm not slim. :P I'm not fat either, but I'm definitely NOT slim!

So I've been craving for chocolate cake lately, and let me tell you.
I.AM.GOING.CRAZY. just thinking about it.

Cannot lah like this. Can die wan.

So to soothe myself, I did a lil research on how Nutrient Facts on Chocolate Cake.

Well er.. not that it made sense to me. Total Fat 80g?? Is that a lot or is that a small amount?
Call me stupid. yah yah. I feel like a dumb blonde already but I have no idea if this statement is trying to tell me that chocolate cake are a no-no or a yes-yes - especially for a woman who's desperately trying to lose some weight.

Hmm..
