“If you see a turtle on a fence post, you know that he had some help” – Alex Haley, author of Roots. There are actually two aspects of the story. Once the turtle is up on the fence, it can’t get down and if it does, it’s going to be painful. Nor can it do very much up on the fence except hang around! For the purpose of this post, I’ll stick with the first angle. I remember everyone who has […]

In the end, I went for six sessions (yes, I need help). Leading up to the sixth session, I could feel the effects already. My clothes were getting looser around my midriff and more firmer. This has been impossible previously despite watching my diet (maybe not very strictly) and exercising. There was definition in my tummy and it was visible. I was getting used to the treatments and you could physically feel the fat burning. In the end, I definitely lost […]

Yes, it’s that time of the year again. To take stock of how it has been and where do we go from here? I started the year very enthusiastically having started on my 2015 goals in November last year. In preparing for this article, I couldn’t find the goals which I thought I had cleverly written and kept. First mistake, you’re supposed to review them every month and look out for the percentage achieved. If I had done them, I would […]

After coming back from a holiday where there was no restrain from food, it was time to head back for another session. The good news was there was no increase in anything. I was now getting used to the heat and after each session, I could feel new lumps on the sides of my hips of fat. Looking at the size of my stomach, I do notice more tightness although looking at where I started from, I could be here forever! […]

A week after my trip to Hair & Face Clinic to try out the BTL Treatment, I did not see many changes but I could feel it. A day after my first trip though, I could feel two clumps on the side of my hips. It felt slightly sore when touched. It was explained to me that this was the body fat being melted and deposited and it will disappear after a while. Yes! I went through the machine and yes, […]

Of late, I’ve been having these thoughts about people and situations. If it wasn’t for me, you wouldn’t be able to get the contacts. If it wasn’t for me, you wouldn’t be able to get that project. If it wasn’t for me, this would not have gotten off the ground. If it wasn’t for me, you wouldn’t be able to get that job. If it wasn’t for me, if it wasn’t for me, if it wasn’t for me….oh yes, in case […]

How has 2015 been for you? Mine has been great. Not because I have had so many wonderful things happen to me. On the contrary, pondering on the months, I have experienced betrayal, rejection, anger, rage, disappointment, sadness, bitterness, envy, annoyance….should I go on? If I were to sit down and give you a blow-by-blow account on what happened to me on a daily and monthly basis, it would definitely look unstable on a heart rate monitor with some very highs […]

A few months ago I was invited to the launch of Vanquish by BTL Aesthetics. This is a device that burns fat in areas you want it to burn. I have always been a little skeptical about things like this and believe in the “no pain, no gain” strategy. I am also concerned about invasive methods. That said, I exercise 3-5 times a week which is inclusive of strength training and cardiovascular activities and still have a problem losing fat in […]

The older I get I feel I have a better understanding on what I don’t want more than what I want. With the new year just around the corner, it’s time to set some new goals. I am pleased to say that maybe only 50% of my goals have been achieved which would be better than 0% if I didn’t set any at all. I have also come to the understanding that some things and people will come into your life […]
