How Do I Keep Myself Slim?

Many people asked me how I keep myself slim as I'm a mother of TWO. I did not practice any diet. I eat as much as I want but I always make sure I did not take my drink while I'm eating (except if tersedak lah). I will only drink water 45minutes after I finished my meal. I did not exercise regularly (if you consider shopping as part of exercise regime, then you can count me in). I worked more than 20 hours a day. 11 hours at my office + 4 hours for Marshella and 5 hours for my babies and husband. 4 hours is for me to get my rest. I woke up at 5am to 5.30am every morning as my son will wake me by playing with my nose, ears, hair and will not stop doing that until I open my eyes and bring him out from my room or he will start to scream his head off (that is the final call). My usual practice is to take him to our living hall and play with him while watching the tv until Kak Ana (my household manager aka helper) take over by 6.30am.

After that, get ready to go to the office, work work work, go home, spend few hours with Marshella business - 95% are handmade, in between pay attention to my family and then go to sleep. I guess that also play part. Being a women, I take my mom advice seriously especially when I'm pregnant and "berpantang". I never skip my J&M (jamu and majun) no matter what, even until now. It helps me to reduce the weight within 14 days during "pantang" and shape back my figure within 60days. Yup, I had my 100days "pantang".

During my first time "pantang" I had difficulty on choosing the right food. All are dry but my mom very understand on my appetite - I MUST HAVE GREEN in my meal. No compromise. So she let me have my broccoli and carrot. Hehehe.. Some of my aunts and "mulut kepoh" condemned my preference to have vege with my meal as they said all the vege is "angin and sejuk". Being me, I never bothered. On my second "pantang", I take full in charge on my menu. I had my "sup ayam kampung with vege, liver or meat black pepper style, "daging kunyit" and "nasi panas-panas". As for the breakfast, I take half boil eggs and bread. I recovered faster than my first "pantang" and with no "bentan" (I "bentan" few times on my first).
