5 New Year health resolutions

so, the long holidays are finally over and done with. a belated aidiladha wish to muslim readers and here’s wishing a prosperous year ahead to everyone. happy new year all :)

i hope the good couple days off did wonders to all of you. my sis did her bit share of qurban, and we had sup gear box that night. hahaha it's funny seeing everyone going after the tulang sum², attempting every possible ways to get the last drop of it.

for a change, this year i feel like writing down my personal health resolutions, so that I’ll be more focused and hopefully by making it public, i’d stick to it. (ala, if iI cheat pon i jugak yang rugi..)

anyway, they are simple basic rules but i seldom follow. for the benefit of sharing these are what i plan to follow (please please please god give me strength)

drink more water
okay confession time, my body cannot retain water for a long time. more water comes in means more frequent trips to the restroom. what more if it was raining outside.. and worst case, i sometimes get migraine/headache. i always consider them as checklists and will resume drinking more plain air suam, instead of sugared/flavoured air milo/soya.

eat more fruits and veggies
i love fruits, any fruits will do really. So it’s a puzzle why i seldom buy any in bulk, exceptions for cut fruits in supermarket. the only must-buy is seedless guavas at tapah r&r. i also would like to change the way i consume them fruits. i’d eat them raw, not with mak bee’s rojak paste or belacan-kicap-gula-mixture. Oohh i foresee a hard time resisting those cicahs.

i could take ulam and any green leafs. so no excuse problem achieveing this goal hopefully. will make sure i take at least one sayur in my meal. the only problem is that i don't quite agree how they cook them, so that's the reason why i skip it in my lunch.

get enough rest and sleep
lacking sleep also contributes to migraine, i was told. i need plenty of rest too. i easily feel tired and lethargic. why ek? maybe because i hardly exercise nowadays.

detoxification
there are two possible ways. the best ones are of course by fasting. may be i could fast two days in a month, at least and choose mondays and thursdays! from a colleague who has lost many kgs from organic fasting regime, his secret was doing it at least once in a three months. i plan to emulate his examplary success but not to extend of practising it every 3 months -> that's too ambitious. but we'll see how far this will go. the organic powder smells worse than jamu i had to consume during confinement.

exercise
hokay..the last exercise was eons ago.. the most sweat-but-feel-great was prolly the charity run. maybe brisk walking on sunday morning would do me good. and would definitely benefit hubby too. okay.. i do not want to set the bar high, not to demotivate myself. so at least once/month? start first then maybe i'll increase the frequency..

you may be asking why these resolutions? the ultimate objective is actually to get my dream weight. i feel heavy (though my BMI is still considered OK) and don't like people commenting on my physical expansion. plus i'm doing it for the sake of good health. god please help me persevere. and i shall update my progress from time to time to measure my fulfillment.

it's a challenge putting all these into words and more challenging to obey what i've written. wish me luck guys. so care to share your azam with me? ke ada sapa² yang sama azam dengan saya..jomlah kita buat alliance.. we sure can motivate each other ! soy, jom start jom...! :P
