nadnut’s recent weight loss progress.

Tuesday, May 8th, 2012

Since the start of this year, I’ve been exercising frequently. I’ve been running constantly with colleagues, with BFF and even by myself.

From February onwards, I decided to take it a notch further. I started on a low carb diet. I cut down on eating stuff like white bread, white rice, fries, noodles and sugary stuff. Instead I turned to more meat, fish, vegetables and more “forgiving” carbs like wheat bread, brown rice, fruits. I’ve also started incorporating static exercises and resistance training into my workouts.

And boy, did it work! I noticed the most difference in my tummy, my ass (SAD!), boobs, arms and face!

I lost about 6kg so far. Decreased my BMI from an unhealthy 26ish to now an acceptable 22ish.

I organised a retro-themed Mystery Makan dinner with the girls and wanted to get my nails done retro-ishly! (Yes, I know that there is no such word.)

Went to my favourite sponsor Milly’s with the design in mind and they nailed it. (Pun intended)

Here’s my scallop nails!

As some of you guys know, I have very fine hair and a “bald spot”. When both Nuffnang and Trichokare invited me down to try out their European Herbal Hair Remedy, I was extremely excited to do so!

Before I start talking about my experience of my hair treatment in Trichokare, here’s some background info on them!
