Big is Compatible...

Since I have become a fitness enthusiast of recent, I have been searching for food and recipes that can help with weight loss. First I found the goodness of chickpeas and now cabbage.  Cabbage have been used in many weight loss programs and detox. I on the other hand don't want something so drastic, I want this to be a journey, being able to cook and serve healthy food for my family and myself of course is my main aim. I am rather fascinated how will power and our human mind can change a person. It is no denial that if you put your heart and soul into it you can do it. I am finding different cooking method and food types to spice up things thru out this journey. This week, Week 3...I am going to replace dinner with soup as oppose to the mundane bread and spaghetti. The star of my soup recipes will of course be Cabbage and I will be making my own combination of vege and meat to go with it. Last night I made this delicious Cabbage Soup with Fish balls and Vege.

It is also a common ingredient of my authentic Indian dietary. I am not too sure if there are many types of Chickpeas but I am sure of 2 types; black one and white one. Apart from being a high source of protein it will also fill you up and not make you full. So I have been including them in my diet now. For lunch today, I made Stir-fried chickpeas with eggs and vege. I choose the good old red capsicum and cucumber for this recipe. Doesn't it look healthy and yummy. It sure tasted good. Let's move on to the recipe. You will need : 2 types of chickpeas cucumber  red capsicum garlic 2 small eggs 1 teaspoon  ghee salt and pepper for seasoning Preparing the Chickpeas : Soak Chickpeas in water for more than 6 hours, I prefer overnight soaking, Then, rinse it off the water, place i

Hey dolls, It's me again, my journey to being fit and fabulous and project happiness are going positive. In fact, it complements each other...I am using my dear kitchen to the fullest and eating healthy. Is not all eating clean yet, is just that I have been pretty exposed to beautiful flavors and taste that the eating clean part will be a rather long process to achieve.

This blog post is a tribute to myself. I have made my mind up to change my lifestyle into a get fit and fabulous one. I've done this so may times. It never worked out I would be gamed for a couple of days then I would go back to doing what I did wrong over and over again. I just got so emotional while listening to  Colbie Caillat's Try and sobbed and sobbed looking at all the things that I have done wrong to none other but myself. I knew it was "the time" to make the call. I told myself I can't go on like this anymore. Weight loss was always my every other year's new year resolution. Unfortunately, that is the one goal/resolution that I've never completed....in fact I was too complacent to even think about it. So as I was doing some refection on myself, where I am today....there was this big emptiness in my life and that was me being FAT yes I said it FAT.  I know I am a preacher of  "Wear it with Confidence" but it was not enough.
