Watch The Stew of Life Drama Online

barbara

I have just started to watch The Stew of Life online and boy, I do enjoy this drama.  It is a family comedy series starring Louise Lee, Fala Chen, Christine Ng, Timmy Hung and many more.   The story revolves around the family of cookery teacher.  So you can imagine how much good food is being shown in this 30 episode drama.  There are always some wonderful soup or dishes mentioned in the show as Louise Lee plays a mother/wife who has the opportunity to host a culinary show on tv.  My tummy is always growling whenever I see her whipping some mouth-watering dishes.  I better get myself some best diet pills because I am only at Episode 3 and I am so inspired to cook some of the dishes mentioned in the show.

Working Out At Home

barbara

I have been watching The Biggest Loser on tv (reruns) everyday.  Seeing those contestants working out at the gym and pushing themselves to the limit are really inspiring.  I would love to get myself a weight machine to do some exercise at home.  Been looking around some home gyms and came across a few good quality ones at Weider.  I especially like this Weider C720 System.   Let’s hope this is what I would be getting for Christmas 🙂

Denims I Love

barbara

I have started to take some weight loss pills recently in order to lose a few pounds. Been eating nonstop lately.  Then, after I have lost some weight, I am going to get myself a few pair of gorgeous jeans from Gap.  The first pair is a perfect blue boot  jean that shapes to the body.  It lifts the seat and eliminates the gap at the back of the waist.  I like the second  pair of real straight jeans.  Sexy huh?  It is cut straight through the hip and leg for a slimming look.  In order for me to look good in these jeans, I really have to lose a few pounds first.

Dissolving Paper Soap

barbara

If you are a clean freak like me, I am sure you are going to love this Wild Rose Fragrance Dissolving Paper Soap from Organize.com.  It is one of the most convenient and hygenic ways to clean your hands when no soap is available.  The Dissolving Paper Soap has 30 single use soap sheets in a set ($6).  All you need to do is take out a sheet and add some water.  It does not contain liquid so it is completely safe to be carried on board a flight.  Definitely a lifesaver for outdoor enthusiasts or frequent flyers.

Staying Fit & Trim In 2009

barbara

I started to go on a diet about 6 months ago.  Since then, I have lost about ten pounds. Yay!!!  I am so happy and proud of myself for following strictly with the diet.  I feel great now because I have lost 2 dress sizes.  It is certainly not easy being on a diet. I cannot eat most of the things that I enjoy such as muffins, scones, bagels, pastas, noodles and everything that has a lot of carbo.  I am trying my best to maintain my current weight now by still continuing with the diet.  However, I have decided to let go every Sunday and this means I get to eat whatever I want on that.  I try not to go crazy stuffing myself with food on Freedom day but eat moderately instead.  With this arrangement, I hope my cravings for certain food will reduce.

One of my wishes or resolutions for this year is to stay fit and healthy.  I intend to join a yoga class in the morning after my toddler has gone to school. She goes to school for 3 hours daily so that is the best time for some “ME” time.  Before I could check out a gym class in my neighbourhood, a friend of mine suggested that I join her for Line Dancing class.  Ain’t that great?  I love to dance.   My friend has been with the class for 5 months now and yesterday, I followed her to class to check it out.   I really enjoyed it although I find that the line dancing steps are pretty tough to follow.  Well, I am sure with a lot of practice and perseverance, I will be able to dance just like the ladies in the line dancing class.  Now, all I have to do is to start shopping for some exercise gears such as tights and t-shirts,.  I also need a pair of good shoes for dancing so I will be checking out some stylish and comfortable shoes. Oh I also need a few pairs of socks too 🙂

Winter Solstice Festival

barbara

Tomorrow is the Winter Solstice Festival which is also known as the “Dongzhi Festival”.  It is an important event in the Chinese calendar and some people regard it as the most important festival of all.  Family gathering takes place on this day and consume “tang yuan” which are glutinous rice balls cook in sweet broth.   They are also offered to friends and relatives as gifts.  I know I will be eating lots of “tang yuen” tomorrow 😉  I hope I won’t go overboard though since I am still trying to maintain my weight.  Otherwise, I will have to start looking for the best weight loss pill in the market.  Happy Winter Solstice Festival to everyone.

Dashing Through The Fat

Hey, if you are struggling to zip up those skinny jeans, no worries.  Just get yourself some Skinny Songs 😀  They are a collection of tunes created by Heidi Rozen. She was searching for motivation to slim down when her weight hit an all-time high.   It is amazing what the power of music can do.  Skinny Songs were featured in Oprah and Friends Radio, USA Today, Martha Stewart show and The Early Show.  You will be able to find titles like Think I’ll Go To Saks, I’m A Hottie Now, You Da Boss and more.  Hop over to SkinnySongs.com and listen to some sample music clips.  They are really catchy and the lyrics are very funny.   Get inspired today! Let Skinny Songs help you achieve your weight loss goal.  Hmm..perhaps I should get myself some Skinny song too.  I am still trying to buckle my pre-pregnancy jeans 🙂 

Watch Gem Of Life Online

barbara

I have been sitting in front of my computer a lot because of my work.  Also I have been watching many dramas online such as Gem of Line, Off Pedder and Moonlight Resonance. I managed to find a site where I can watch these shows online and if you are interested, hop over to here. ( Note:  These links are provided and hosted from a third party server.)  I basically eat in front of my computer so you see….I hardly exercise at all.  I am getting a flabby tummy as a result of this 🙁

Ahhhh…..I just found a solution to my problem.  The Hula Chair!!!  It’s a weight loss gadget for a lazy person like me 😉  This modern miracle chair combines ancient traditional Chinese medicine with 21st century technology.  The Hawaii Hula Chair helps to improve a person’s balance and coordination as it aligns the spine gently and improves blood circulation.  It exercises the whole body especially the waist.  The Hula chair is built with steel feet, ABS armrest and leather backrest.  All I need to do is to sit up straight, press the button and let its elliptical motion works wonder on my body 😀  If you are interested, check out Amazon.com.
