Yummy yummy, will I get to eat it??!!

Was looking at PETA website when I chanced upon this spokesperson saying so much of this tofurky turkey, how delicious it is that I had to find out where to get it. When I saw what was offered on http://www.tofurky.com, I was like drooling the whole time . The franks, the sausages, the deli slices all looks so delicious... a very nice alternative to the usual kind of vegetarian food we have here. Bascially, the sandwiches here do not have such variety. They even have vegan turkey and I was really thrilled by that, meaning we still can have a vegetarian Xmas feast with the "authentic" Xmas food at the same time! The best thing is they claim that their sausages will sizzle on the grill! That is almost impossible with the local sausages here. The sausages here are skinny but theirs is really chunky! But when I tried to order online, I realised that they only offer it in the US, and the prices are really steep too! For Deli slices, we are looking at USD$80+++! Anyway, sent an email to them to check if they are offering it in Asia. Hope they will get back to me soon. :p Just hope the market here gets big enough for them to lauch it here as well...:p

Bad recovery!

I have juiced many times before, nothing ever happened, only the usual benefits of detoxing, but this time was really different, i had very bad recovery symptons (According to Dr Benard Jensen: Illness does not occur without cause. Most if not all illnesses, result through a build-up of toxins. The body cells have a memory of past illnesses and retracing is the process of re-activating, and working through these illnesses. When a disease isn't worked through properly at the time, an element of latency or repression occurs eventually leading to loss of vitality, a sub-standard state of health and eventually diseases of a more insidious nature. Underlying causes of disease must be discovered and removed or treated before a person can recover completely from illness. Symptoms express the body's attempt to heal, but are not the cause of disease and therefore, should not be merely suppressed by treatment). On my 4th day of juicing, early in the morning, I woke up at 7am and vomitted gastric acid out. I was thinking to myself, good, at least it's purging the acid from my body! I quickly took IF and VP to neutralise the acid in my body, and guess what? I vomitted out again along with my precious product along with some acid! I was also feeling very giddy the whole time. Woke my hubby up and told him. He quickly made some warm Enhancer for me, and again I puked. JQ then quickly went out to buy carrots and green apples from the market despite the rain and juiced for me. Accordingly, the puking might be due to excessive acid in stomach, liver problem (might be a signal as I perpetually have dark eye circles), indigestion and stomach problem. The giddiness might have something to do with low blood pressure. He thought that the fruit juice might help in giving some "sweet" signals to my brain. I was also feeling feverish. I was resting the whole time and after the juice, i did feel a little better. JQ had an appointment at Orchard and I followed him, thought it might be a good idea to take a walk instead of being cooped up at home. Throughout the 2hrs of their wedding brothers discussion, I went to the toilet to puke like 6 times. Had to go back early and our plans to take photos of the X'mas lighting was also foiled. Sigh...When I got home, i headed straight to bed and slept all the way through till morning.

Lucky for me, i felt a lot better the next day, just felt like my head is super heavy... and now I'm absolutely fine! :) I persevered on and today is already the second last day of my detox program! Yippee! Still trying to figure out what went wrong causing so much acid in my stomach, probably using distilled water instead of "good water" was a mistake (Did you know distilled water is acidic in nature), or I had been eating unhealthily last few months . Guess I will have to go back to transporting water to and fro liao. :( Anyway also have to thank my loving hubby who has been nursing me the whole time, wonder what will I do without him...=) The good thing that came out of this: Purged all the acid from my body and lost like 4kg in the process... =)

Gym member again...

Recently rejoined the gym again. I joined Planet Fitness again after "disappearing" for 2+ years. One main reason is to get myself exercising again, after realising that my fitness level is going downhill. Still believe that exercise is a very important part of life. I also miss those days of going through the torturous, yet motivating kind of classes like Daniel's class and all the spinning classes. You really feel damn shiok after completing those classes after being pushed to your limit by the instructors. Guess now it's a matter of disciplining myself to go at least twice a week, together with my hubby... haha =) Hope to get toned abs, butt and thighs soon, JIT for my wedding...keke

We got our FLAT

So exciting! After so many viewings, we finally chose a flat that we like! This is the first time I'm making such a huge purchase... $300++K! Most importantly, this puts an end to our search. Now we can focus on more important stuff. Even though we not getting a lot of sea view, it's really windy and we have a good feel of the unit. Even the fengshui master says it's a good unit, suitable for us! So looking forward to getting keys soon and start on a new journey with my darling and staying in our little abode. :p
