30 days weight loss challenge

MY 30 DAYS SHRED : WEIGHT LOSS AND TONE MUSCLES CHALLENGE

Heyya, Guys! Nice to meet you again. Today is another crazy monday, with an unimportant meeting that waste 3 hours of my precious times for just some little sharing and hearing. HUH!! I have sooo much to do just with some little times left. So, I just left it undone. Pity :(.

Well, today I'm not gonna talk about how bad my day is. But.... about my weight loss and tone muscles program. 

Yes! I'm a little overwight. It happens after a few months of my marriage life. Hubby is like a bad habit for me. Too much eat great food with high calories and junk food, sodas, sugars, etc, and less excercise. Man.... He made me develop bad habit. 

I'm not a sexy skinny girl before, but not fat either, so I was not a kind of calorie count person. And I'd loved to excercise. Bicycling, walking, cardio training, aerobics. I do love to move my body and build a muscle. That's me. I began since I was in High School. I was like, having a slight six pack abs that time. Wooo.... ^O^....

 

Before : 48 kg

After : 59 kg *OMG >_<

I hate to admit that I need help and some real action to make me healthier. Ups! I forgot to tell you that my height is 158 cm. So, I'm too weight for my (short) height. Any diet? Don't ask. I did some excellent diet, but ended up bad. The bouncing effect is the hardest punch right to my face. 

And finally, I did realize that I just couldn't live like this anymore. I have to do something to get my healthy body back. Today is the second day of my weight loss challenge. I mixed yoga, cardio and dance to my daily routine. I do not count of how much I lost my calories from working at laboratory *I swear to you that my job required physical strength. So maybe I burn more than enough for a day. 

As personal trainer, I'm counting on some videos from youtube. I love BeFit Channel. They upload various workout. I'm a fan of Denise Austin. She is the best trainer I've ever seen on videos. Her voice is so relaxing and clear. So it's easier to follow each movements she taught. And she did various  workout e.g : yoga, pilates, cardio, aerobic, taeboxing, even ballet workout. Yeiiiyyyy!!! And  second best is Jillian Michael, she has the best weight loss programs. It's really hard to follow, because it's really exhausting, but I think it's worth to try. And for relaxing, I get Rainbeu Mars yoga workout. 

If you were a fan of single workout, such as abs ripper, lean back workout, etc. You'll love HIIT workout from Fitness Blender. They provide various workout which is really worth to try. 

At last, wish me luck. I'm gonna get my slim body back. Hei-Ho!!

SWEDISH SPA FACIAL CARE KIT : A REVIEW ABOUT MY WEEKLY ROUTINE

Hi, there..... Nice to meet you again. I've been thinking of what should I write for my next post. I want to review some of my beauty haul, but honestly I don't know whether it's been showing any differences on my skin conditions yet. I'll wait for more couple weeks, then. ;p

Today, I'm gonna share some of my favorite products from Oriflame. 

Well, I should tell you that it's one of my favorite brand for its mild ingredients. I have a quite sensitive skin which is really unfriendly of most of drugstore skincare. I've waste quite amount of money for many skincares. I've been trying some local brands, even some of imported brands which is ended up very bad. My skin gets oilier, pimples, rash, even burn sensation on my skin. Erghhhh.... >_<. But, I'm glad to have these skincares which gives me a really good result.

 It consist of three steps : 

First - exfoliate

Second - purifying 

Third - hydrating

 First step : exfoliating with greenish facial scrub. This scrub contains malachite.

Pros :

very hydrating

doesn't make my face getting oily

moisturized my skin and make it supple

 

Cons :

Again, contains 3 kinds of paraben ;(

But, somehow I can tolerate its parabens as long as I got satisfying results. I've using similar product from Wardah Line. And I'll tell you that Wardah gives a pretty good result, but compares to swedish spa, well.... not really purifying for me. But, Wardah is a great compares because its a local brand and about five times less expensive than Swedish Spa. LOL.

Another point for Swedish Spa is... it last sooooo long. ha ha ha. I've bought it since almost two years ago, and haven't finishes yet, except for the purifying mask *I used it a bit too many to get the best result ^_^v.

See you next time guys..... be pretty, be happy.
