i spoilt my slimming diet

why why why?


why did i drink that super cold vanilla milkshake, while i've been ordering fresh orange with no ice and no sugar all these while??

why did i take those oily yummy yummy yum (err) french fries while i've been limitting myself to one tablespoon of rice per meal???

why? why? why?

argggg... sesal sekejap.

ye, saye mmg sukar to control my intake of yummy foods. in fact, i dun believe in slimming down by not eating.. bcuz we need energy to burn fats! the secret is to eat moderately. n yes, workout! workout! workout! i personally loooovee working out and hv been doing it since college. but need to change a lil bit, since tym tu belum kawen belum beranak takde flabs watsoeva.

now, i really need to reduce the amount of food, work the abs, work the muscles! n burn! burn! burn that calory! haha. ni gaye denise austin dlm cd aerobic... :) oh ya! currently sgt sgt sgt suke pilates.. my pilates cd is by denise austin jugak, bcuz dah biase dgn dia.. haha. fun! n i hav to say, sgt mencabar! me likeyyy! pilates mmg bagus to slimdown, concentrating on areas like the tummy, thigh, bun, waistline n etcetra. highly recommended for those yg nk toned up the body! ye la, kekdg org tu kurus, tp takde 'shape'... so pilates is good for that! :) chwah, cite psl workout supaye rase serba salah mkn smlm hilang sket...

so tghr td i went home.. utk menyedapkn hati, mkn la wholemeal bread w tuna. kenyang n sedap. thank u :p

and, and, the best part... dpt jumpe babyzara kt umah.. tgh tido.. tp nk dukung jugak.. haha. sian anak saye. tidurnya tergnggu. n stil lena plak tu wpn didukung... so i buli dia... hiks hiks..

bye!

Happy 2 Months

today, babyzara genap 2months. she's getting bigger n longer. hihi. just look at the picture, dh nk dkat same pnjg dgn lamaze inchworm ni... which is 60cm long. so far okey la duk ngn bibik... i juz bought her baby einstein's cds a few weeks ago. so if die tamo tido, i asked nely to put her on d swing ngadap d tv, n pasangkn dat cd. b4 this penah psgkn d cd, n her eyes was wide opened, n she wasnt making any sound. khusyuk je... mksdnye she was bz watching n listening to it la kot. so lega la dh ade smethng for her play time, for now.

happy 2months dear daughter!

.

this was on monday... huby mc sbb tak bpe sedap badan.. so ade la tym for him to play w zara... but ended up due2 terbongkang cmni kt sofa... hehehe... comel je kesayangan saye 2 org ni... gerammmm!!! oh ye, baby zara dh gune pacifier. huhu~

haaa.. yg ni pulak babyzara yg tgh landing ikut sedap bdn die je... terlentok je dgn gaye kura2... mmg sedap ey landing kt mommy?

n here's daddy changing zara's diaper... zara ni poo sehari sekali je.. tapi massive!!!! nw dh masuk 2 bulan dh makin ucuk acam.. ehehe.. luv u baby!

and finally this is me, looking chubby as alwiz. outing w cfah n amad to midvalley. first tym bwk zara to midval. pkai stroller zara tak bpe suke sgt.. mayb die rase alone kot dlm tu... so merengek rengek jugak die at times. dh la lupe bwk pacey die, terpakse beli br kt toys r us. i wish i bole pkai d baby bjorn carrier.. sbb if bwk zara gune carrier die mmg tdo je all through the outing. lega sket... tp i segan la. hehe. daddy je yg sesuai pkai. hiks~

oh hmm... i dh citer ke dat i am now on diet? yep, yep. yes i am. so jgn la ajak mkn best2 skrg ni... bcuz nafsu makan saye sgt kuat. please dont! ajak la saye buat aktiviti yg menguruskn badan seperti jogging ke, swimming ke, gym-ing ke... please ye kwn2! support sket :)

i started my slimming regime on Monday, 29 June 09. until now br turun 3kgs (it has been 10 days already) my target is to lose another 6-8kgs in 2months. well, the earlier the better. tp i takmau la crush diet. it shud be a healthy one, since i'm BFing. so 2 months should be fine i think. doa-doakanlah ye! ameen.

First Day at Work!

after 2months enjoying myself like there's no tomorrow.. here comes reality...

well,well, as for the first day, mmg i planned to warm myself up je. haha. buat mcm opis sendiri lak, nk warm up warm up bagai. ye la. dh lame tak masuk ofis, i was so blurr of where n how to start my work.. lalalaaa~ masih teringat wajah zara b4 gerak to ofis dis morning.. ntah kenape she was so happy senyum lebarrrr sgt tau! huu. tak smpt capture her pic, dh lmbt.. bt seriously a bit weird apesal die happy semacam... i went in and out of the house several times... tgk zara....... aaaaaa~ when i said goodbye, bertambah lebar die senyum. as if she was saying, "bye bye mommy, i'll be doing good at home w bibik!" haih! saje je buat mommy rindu! seriously i miss u now! cant wait to go home.. cepat la kul6! i wanna hug u, kiss u, i wanna see ur cute lil face. ok dah dah. control2. huhu. mayb awal2 je kot cmni.... hee

okey back to my work thingy.. as i said, hr ni warm up je. list down my task. n esok br stat keje btul2. this morning i was welcomed w a huge oh-so-now-u-r-a-mom smile from my boss! then at 11 terus ade meeting kononnye celebrating me, tp sbnanye thr's a new task for me. huhu. and a big lunch treated by him. well, mr ralph, im on diet.. u wont waste much! :P actually i was planning to go home during lunch time, bcuz nk jmpe babyzara sgt2... n since ofis to home is juz 20mins.. ape la salahnye blk kn... tp tue la. my boss mcm excited plak, "guys lets hv lunch sumwer to celebrate amalina..." haih, if die tak sebut my name tu, i nk chiow je ckp, i need to go home... tp, tak smpai ati lak... so i called bik neli tanye is evrythng fine.. and die kate okey je.. zara baru pas mandi n minum susu.. n tewus tdo..., then, off we go! i ordered sandwich n fresh orange w no ice n no sugar. n boss sarcastically responded, "are u getting old?"... hahaha. funny!

so dat was it.. and when ralph asked me.. "please answer us honestly, amalina, did u ever missed ur colleague during ur maternity leave?".. errrrr... honestly, honestly? hm. and he answered himself, "nope"... hahahaha... emo la org tua ni. hahaha. sbnanye ade la sket ;p i mean i miss working, bcuz when i'm working, somehow i feel like evrythng is more organized.

the first challenge

breastfeeding, breastfeeding, breastfeeding!

huhu. i thought the biggest challenge was to "give birth", the truth is, i cried even more during BF. i hav a super duper sensitive nipple i guess... and mayb tym awal2 tu babyzara n i were still learning to BF properly.. first 2 days, mmg susu tak byk.. bt i read dat, it's fine bcuz baby mmg boleh survive w/out it in her early days. colostrum pn dh cukup. masuk 3rd day, susu dah mule byk.. mule2, my "lefty" ade crack.. mmg sakit sgt tp ketap bibir, sumbat je.. lepas dh abes BF from my lefty, i tgk darah kt mulut zara... huwaaa.. anak aku dh terisap darah...rupenye ade luka jugakk.. nasibaik takde nanah. huuuu.. syian sgt die... then tak berani dh nk bg my lefty.. and asek2 bg my righty... okey dh engorge plak my lefty.... sakettt.. dgn ade luka, n crack, pastu bengkak pulak.... mak bidan ckp, kene BF jugak, its ok for baby to telan d blood.. huhu. tak sanggup nk kasik plus sakit nk matiiii... tym jmpe paed, i told her my prob, die ckp try perah je.. kalau biar nti lg teruk... huby planned to buy a breastpump for me tym i dh masuk keje nti... tp terpakse batalkn niat n beli skrg.. huby beli medela mini electric.. memule, awkward je rase nk gune.. tp dh lame2 best pulak.. hihi. ni kalau takde soreness n cracks la.. bcuz nk ikut ckp paed... i tried to pump my sore n cracked lefty... ya Allah.. bukan susu je yg memancut, tp darah jugaaaaaaaaaa.. tgk kt dlm bottle mmg susu darah kaler merah,... huu... juz thinking about it can make me sick, apetah pula, melihatnye depan mate.. eee... sakit sgt.. i asked a few friends yg fortunately takde problem mase awal2 BF.. jelesnye... mmg i read dat the level of soreness varies for every mom depending on their nipple sensitivity. y? y? y very sensitive? huhu. or mayb sebab tak latch properly, or mayb d nipple is too small n etc. bt i dun hv other problems. mmg my nipple sgt sensitive. dats it :( sedih bcuz i mmg dh niat dr awal lagi, b4 mengandung lg (huhu, over!), i really really really want to exclusively BF my baby :( tp bak kate cfah, takpe, penghapus dosa. tahan je la :( so gune breastpump pn tak menjadi.. last2, perah gune tangan jer... haaa.. baru berhasil.. d darah tak kuar, juz d milk.. tp sgt la letih sbb lame... huhu... redha je la, asalkn tak bazir susu tu. so all in all, about 3 weeks plus la, i've been battling w d pain.. gilir2 luka dtg dan pergi for lefty n righty... bagus juga beli breastpump awal2.. i think mmg spatutnye beli awal.. huhu. so for first timers, sile beli beastpump awal2!! :) nw my breastmilk is being pumped every 2-3 hours if baby still tido... tamau bazir susu.. n i did store them in the fridge.. utk emergency.. while having visitors ke... kene kluar kejap ke... bik nelly boleh tlg bottlefeed zara... so dats about it. i was close to giving up. bt alhamdulillah, by having a good n positive support system; my family n friends (whoever u are), things are getting better now. thnks a bunch! insyaAllah. i thnk i'm ready to face the future. tym baby dh ade gigi lagi dahsat, they say.. warghhh... anyway, i survived my first challenge. :) sbb tu boleh cerite.. kalau tak.... nangis.... mcm i pulak baby. huhu. sorry huby.. and thanx for being very2 supportive. love love love you. bak kate jams yg dipetik dr wonderpets.. ape yg penting... KERJASAME!!! hahahha. (lame)

okey sekian terima kasih. assalamualaikum.
lu pikir la sendiri :P
