hits and misses in dieting and weight loss
Playing games: Three Bloggers and the Sexitary
And so over a bowl of noodles more than a week ago, I forged a pact with three other bloggers. We promised to play badminton at least once a week for a healthier 2010.
We have invited more people to join our group and although they are not bound by the pact like the original members are, they are fueled by the same desire to at least be a little healthier this year.
So I decided not to have red meat this year. So far, I’ve been successful. I dined out 5 times in the last 9 days and I stuck to ordering chicken or fish.
But at one point, I came close to dropping my resolve to abstain from red meat because Lyle and I went to a dimsum place called Dimsum Diner. There, we ordered Yang Chow Fried Rice. For those who are not familiar with it, Yang Chow Fried rice is a Cantones-style wok fried rice that had shrimp and pork as its main ingredients (ours had chorizo macau and pork asado).
For 2010, I will refrain from having red meat. Yes, this self-imposed no red meat policy will be for the whole year. Meaning, I won’t be having McDonald’s cheeseburger, Jollibee’s burger steak, shrimp and pork dumplings, and pork ribs for a whole year. Fat chance, huh? Well, good luck to me.
Last year, I decided not to consume even a single drop of alcohol and I succeeded. I also wanted to abstain from drinking cola but the resolve only lasted for 8 months. Still, for somebody who’s been a heavy Coke-drinker for more than 15 years, 8 months is something.
