busy dieting and working

I haven't blogged in 2 week plus because I have been busy with my fitness plan including diet and working!

1. Dieting

Ever since Ed said I am a chub (I had a full meal before meeting him), I was so annoyed that I started to bring my own salad and food for lunch in the office. There were different variations. Sometimes I put avocado, sometimes fish roe, sometimes jellyfish, sometimes nuts to make it more exciting. The first day I ate the salad I had anxiety disorder because my body was screaming for carbs and sugar but I persevered on for 3 more days and got used to it.

 

 

 

I also changed my workout routine to include more sets and lighter weights, varied with less set and heavier weights, and ended off with cardio. After 2 weeks, I am proud to announce that I have lost 1% body fat and my tummy almost disappeared. I'm going to continue this diet after my holidays. 

2. Work

I am quite satisfied with work, because there is much to do, and my boss trusts me with a lot of things that I can do independently, and I also can take short breaks in between.

So tomorrow I am flying to motherland again, this time to Shanghai and Guangzhou. I can't wait to stuff myself with food and bubble tea and alcohol WOOHOO.

School application

After around 5 months of preparation, my application was finally submitted.

Since October last year, I have been writing my personal statement and having my friends and colleague vet it, and then finalised in February. For the 2 reference letters, I also have been writing since December last year and I just finished, sent and briefed my referees last week.

I had created my application since in December, sent in my statement last week, one of my referee sent in his yesterday, and today another sent in and my application is complete. It is now at the hands of the admissions office in my potential future school. 

I was really motivated and pushed by Becky so without her I would still be procrastinating. Now I'm quite relieved that I have done everything I could, I really put in effort in this application. I have to wait for the results now. 

Celebrations

We had CNY and birthday celebrations at LJ's place in Feb. The food was so noms and we had Yu Sheng as well. And awfully chocolate cake.

And then catching up with the Kathy with Korean food and Jigger & Pony, and she has moved in with her bf?? like WUD?

And this year's birthday present to myself: A pair of Midnight Blue Nubuck Common Projects.
It seems like I keep buying presents for myself every year haha. And this is the 4th pair of shoes I've bought this year.

What a fulfilling February. I felt like it was an entire year hahahah.
