Hello everyone, missed me? I'm back! Hehe I don't really have much to update you guys on, except for the fact that i've been so busy eating lately. LOL 

I spend tons of money on food, im not even kidding. How did i even survive with only $10/day back then in secondary school? I really wonder... 

Everything in Singapore costs so much! expecially food, because I LOVE FOOD so much! Im sure everyone can tell from the rate I post food photos on my Insatgram all the time. Oh oh! And how I always tell myself that I want to try to adopt a healthier diet by "eating clean" and ending up giving in to temptations. 

I know I'm not fat guys, I'm not saying that i am! So don't get me wrong.. hahaha especially those who said that I was being a little bit too narcissistic? I'm guessing you guys are talking about how I am like when it comes to working out and how my body looks. 

All i'm trying to do is to adopt a healthier diet. It might not necessarily mean that a healthier meal will have a lower calorie count as compared to less healthy foods, it's only just the case, in most scenarios. 

So yes! Just clearing up the air... I'm not obsessed at weight loss or anything, okay guys?:) I merely want to train myself to be disciplined enough to junk less (because I junk ALOT) , and have a healthier body in the long run.

Being healthy can bring one happiness too. Knowing that your body is functioning well, you'l be less prone to falling ill. Working out will be easier as well. And if you're influential enough, you might even influence your loved ones around you to adopt a healthier diet with you, too! 

Furthermore, I believe that disciplined can not only be used in this form, but rather can be applied to all aspects in life ;) SO YES, I NEED YOUR HELP GUYS :( 

Hehehe so sorry this is such a random post, I know. What's a blog post if there are no pictures right ?;) 

In case you guys missed my face, #justsayin :P

Have a great weekend everyone! Toodles ~

Hello all!

I've recently asked my readers on ask.fm what they'd like to read for my next blogpost. Most people answered saying they want to read about my workout routine, so here it is!

I guess all of you guys know, that I work out/gym/exercise. And I'm really lucky to be blessed with some abs, a topic many people have asked me about over the years. I did not have them with just a week of core training, or whatsoever. Rather, I have been a badminton player since I was 13 and i've been pretty slim/skinny all my life.

I used to be really skinny, before I picked up sports. And only when i started to do badminton and exercising, I gained some weight, which I believed most of it came from the muscles I put on through exercising.

So with a naturally low fat content in my body, it wasn't hard for me to form those abs. I can literally do 30 crunches the night before, and wake up with nice and defined abs. (in the past, wish I could still do that).

What im saying now is that I've had abs wayyyy before, since I was 13, and over the years, the workout I've done are all for maintenance purposes.

I do not do hardcore exercises because all that I'm aiming for, is for a toned and defined body, not  a bulky one

I do not restrict my diet, or eat any less (I LOVE FOOD)

I'd just like to say that there are a few ways in order for a person to achieve "abs", meaning the usual 4-6 packs that have lines running down and across the abdomen area.

Firstly, mostly for girls, especially, you need to have low fat content before the abs will start to "surface" beneath all that excess skin/ fats we have on our abdomen. So for some of you that have been doing constant core exercises but still not seeing any results, try cutting down on processed foods like Fries, chips etc. It's been told that these foods are the ones that cause one to have a flabby abdominal area.

I know i'm in no position to say that because i'm most guilty of it. Heh. But well..... That's what I know! And i probably should try to adopt eating "cleaner" at least once in awhile. But it's just sooooo hard.

But that having said, moderation is key! So don't beat yourself up if you happen to give in to taking a mouthful of chips after 6 months or something. It's perfectly OK to give yourself a treat sometimes!

Also, there has been some misconceptions that skipping meals will help you lose weight. It is true, to a certain extent. But that is losing weight UNHEALTHILY.

Our organs need food and nutrients to function, and should a person not receive enough of those nutrients, his/her organs will start to shut down. When a person actually reaches that stage, it would be too late for regrets. So don't! Always bear in mind that if achieving the "perfect body" is aimed at bringing happiness and confidence in your life, then you should do it the right way. That way, you'd be happier and more energetic + healthier as you lose weight.

Eating a few small meals is better than one large meal. Im sure many of you have heard of this saying! So please don't starve yourself because by the time you reach your turn to be able to have a large meal, you'll feel so hungry that you actually eat more than what your stomach can take. And as a result, over-eat. Which can be bad for the stomach as well.

So after rambling on and on... I should probably jump into my workout routine.

Basically, I never really stick to just one routine throughout. I will work on one routine about thrice weekly, and slowly slowly, my body will start adjusting to that routine. It's only when I start to feel that my body is getting "too comfortable" with that routine then I'll know its time to change.

At the start of last year I downloaded this app called "abs" (It's free from iTunes!)

Besides that, I do exercises that will firm my thighs and butt as well :)

Kick upwards 20 each leg per set, 3 sets
