  • We’ve all heard of “Good” fats and “Bad” fats but do we really know how to look out for them? I always get a little loss looking at the label. Sometimes there is the polyunsaturated fat or transfat? Monounsaturated and Saturated. Anything that has the word “fat” in it sounds scary, when in reality some…

  • When sorting through belongings, sometimes you discover something that reminds you of younger, former days.  Those “good” times you had when you were young.  I recently discovered a picture that reminded of my “older” days. Days when I was “older” than I am now. It’s funny, when I think about myself now and then, I…

  • The Trumpet of Health

    Ever since I’ve moved house earlier this year, I’ve had the opportunity to see another part of life I had never previously seen.  I now live next to a military base that is also open to the public. Cars pass through in and out to get to the main road on the other side of…

  • Self-compassion

    The other day I read a very interesting article in the New York Times entitled “Go Easy on Yourself, a New Wave of Research Urges.”  It talks about how those who have more self-compassion are often happier, more optimistic and have less anxiety.  I think so too. People are often hard on themselves, wanting to…

  • The Adjective

    Adjectives are a funny thing.  We use it to describe things, objects and people that surround us. It is something we do almost unconsciously and so I have lately noticed how adjectives used to describe one changes. For a very long time, I was always described as “chubby” by those who know me.  I was then likened to a panda…

  • Surviving Christmas Tip: Plan Your Meals

    With all the festivites going on, Christmas and New Years is undoubtedly one of my favorite time of the year.  I get to meet friends, catch up over lovely meals accompanied by weather that is nice and cool in winter. It doesn’t snow in Thailand, but the temperature drops to the mid-twenties (celsius).  It’s lovely and cool. …

  • Cheat Not, Run For Yourself.

    It’s a day after the run, and although I only did 5K somehow my legs are still sore.  It must have been the way I “tiptoe” run or perhaps I’m just not used to so much running.  Funny though, even with sore legs,  the exhiliration from the run still lingers on.  I’m still very much stress…

  • Beige it is.

    The other day I went shopping for clothes. It’s something I haven’t done too much of since I lost those 15 kgs, as there were still so many “small” clothes I had left in my closet waiting for me to “one” day be small enough to fit in.  It’s a good thing I never lost hope…
