Hello everyone!! Here comes my update on 4 weeks of BBG workout.

Honestly I don’t feel any physical changes at all - not even feeling tiny-bit of soreness or muscle ache after the BBG circuit training like my friends does. FYI I don’t cheat, I always finish more than 1.5 set in every 7 mins, highest is 3 set in 7 mins for the abs circuit, and I feel NOTHING!! 

However I do feel slight improvement on strength and stamina from week 1 to week 3, but feeling fatigue on week 4 possibly due to over workout?

Just incase some of you are interested on my usual workout routine, this is how my weekly workout chart be like:

Monday - 1.5 hr of boxing (or 1 hr of Bootcamp)

Tuesday - 1.5 hr of Muay Thai, BBG Circuit

Wednesday - 1 hr of Bootcamp, sometimes another 1.5 hr of Muay Thai

Thursday - 1.5 hr of Muay Thai, BBG Circuit

Friday - 1 hr of Bootcamp, or 1.5 hr of Boxing

Saturday - BBG Circuit, 1 hr of Muay Thai

After 4 weeks of BBG I feel like this is NOT the workout for me, weight-lifting seems to be more suitable for people like me who opt to be LEAN, and already had enough workout on daily basis.

However I gonna complete the whole 12 weeks of BBG (as promise) and keep you all posted, keeping finger cross the end results is not as disappointing like the first 4 weeks!

究竟，勉强爱上一个你不爱的人比较难，还是放下一个你爱的人比较难？

脸书上所有回答的朋友都一致认为，放下深爱的那个人，比较难。

可是，勉强爱上自己不喜欢的人，可能吗？

双鱼男友说，戏不都是在演吗，日久生情，

男人一直对女人很好的话，女人难道不会心（感）动吗？

我说，或许那些曾经喜欢我的人，都没那么大的决心吧。（笑）

对于择偶条件，我个人有鲜明的喜好。

不喜欢的对象，我的拒绝总是很直接，甚至伤人，

开心了我不会找那个不喜欢的人分享，难过了不会要他的安慰，生病了更不会让对方知道，

那他究竟拿什么讨好我，让我感动续而心动？

30 岁的自己，两次放下自己很喜欢很在乎的两个人，

那些痛得不能自己的日子虽然感觉很漫长，却都悄悄过去了。

30 岁的自己，却不曾爱上那个自己不喜欢的人。

所以我觉得，

放下你爱的人好好爱自己，一个人也会活得很精彩，

勉强爱那个不爱的人，两个人在一起比一个人生活更累，也更寂寞。

Lately the Kayla BBG program suddenly become the newest fitness craze among my gym’s circle and I’m happy to have been invited to join them for the training.

What is BBG?

The Kayla Itsines Bikini Body Guide is a 12 week fitness program that consists of 7mins x 4rounds circuit training that come with 4 variation of legs / arms & abs / full body workouts for 3 days in a week.

Why I start BBG?

Since I’m not the one paying for the e-book so why not? Never reject a good offer and never say no for extra workouts. 

The Good and The Bad?

After a glance thru the BBG circuit sheet, I think individual’s result may VARY depend on how much effort you’ve put in - such as how many sets to complete within that 7mins, and how heavy weight you lift in that particular circuit.

The GOOD - Hassle FREE to plan your workout, just do accordingly to the designated circuit with your own pace and capability.

The BAD - Lack of motivation, mentally weak person will cheat a lot during the 7 minutes training.

Conclusion

I’m pretty sure everyone will progress completing the 12 weeks program, either performance related progress or physical progress. After my first training, I would consider BBG more on cardio-related training. I don’t feel much sore on my leg like I usually did after weight training, but I’m satisfied with the amount of sweat after completing the workout. Can’t wait to see the results and how significantly my stamina will improve after accomplish the whole program.

Will update more on my BBG training every week, stay tuned!

I love my greens if only with finger-licking good dressing. However I'm not fancy with all the bottled salad dressing that usually come in high sugar or fat content. 

The first time I had this Goma Dressing was at Azuma QueensbayMall and I'm like OMG this is really yummy!! I Googled for the recipe and it turn out most of the recipe request for Japanese Kewpie Mayonnaise which I don't really like it as it's still consider process food that comes with "unknown" ingredients in it until I found bakeforhappykids's Oil based Goma Dressing. 

Thanks for the recipe now I can enjoy my greens and dressing with no hesitation!

90g White Sesame Seeds, roasted until light browned and fragrant

1 Small Organic Carrot, roughly chopped

1/2 Big Yellow Onion, roughly chopped

3 Clove Garlic, roughly chopped

1 Cup Neutral Tasting Oil (I use Sunflower Oil)

1/2 Cup Japanese vinegar (I use mizkan Grain flavoured vinegar)

1/2 Cup Soy Sauce

Place white sesame seed in a frying pan and roast them over medium heat until the seeds turn golden brown with lots of fragrant. (Careful not to burn them, but it's important to roast them till golden brown for the sesame aroma!) 

In a frying pan with medium heat, cook onion and garlic until they are slightly brown and tender.

我喜欢吃沙拉，但前提是要有很好吃的沙拉酱才行。不过注重健康的自己从来都不爱买那些瓶瓶罐罐的沙拉酱，不是高糖分就是高脂肪，更不用说里边有多少自己不知道是什么的添加剂了。

第一次在皇后湾的 Azuma 吃到这个芝麻沙拉酱后就觉得这个怎么那么好吃啊！在网上搜寻了很多食谱，发现大多数的日式芝麻沙拉酱都免不了要用日式的 Kewpie 蛋黄酱，这么一来和买的那些罐装芝麻酱可不是大同小异了吗？

还好过后在  bakeforhappykids 找到这个用植物油做成的日式芝麻沙拉酱食谱，这么一来我就可以无后顾之虑地享用我的生菜沙拉啦！

和风芝麻沙拉酱

90g 白芝麻, 烤至金黄色

用食品料理机将烤好的白芝麻磨成粉。

用搅拌机将白芝麻粉，炒好的洋葱和蒜头，切小块的红萝卜，和其他的材料混合均匀。

将搅拌好的沙拉酱倒入密封的玻璃瓶，可放置在冰箱存放至少 2 个星期。

怎样的爱情模式，才可以长久？

在这个速食时代，

和同一个他自初恋，一不小心就恋了 12 年，

确实让许多人觉得惊讶又佩服。

其实，随便在网上搜寻就可以找到很多关于怎么长久交往的文章；

而生活中那套适合你们俩的爱情模式，

却只有两个人在一起互相磨合一段日子后才可以逐渐琢磨出来。

就像我和他，即使在一起 12 个年头，

还是不断在沟通，偶尔会争吵或犯错，然后继续学习成为更适合彼此的那个人。

我常常告诉他，我的爱情方程式很简单，

只要我们在一起开心的时候多过难过的时候，就没有分开的理由。
