Detox water - the Sassy water formula


The sassy water was created by Cynthia Sass of flatbelly.com.  I would usually prepare the water at night and drink it the next day.  Here's the formula:

Cynthia Sass' sassy water: 
2 liters or 8 1/2 cups of fresh water (use good quality water, filtered if need be) 
1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated 
 medium cucumber, peeled and sliced thinly 
1 medium lemon, sliced thinly 12 fresh mint leaves – try to obtain spearmint leaves but other mint leaves will work too; choose small ones


Refreshing "sassy" water:
2 liters or 8 1/2 cups of fresh water 
1 medium mandarin or tangerine, sliced thinly 
4 fresh pineapple sage leaves 8 fresh lemon verbena leaves 
12 fresh mint leaves, small

Here I go again.....

I'm back to my dieting after my 42-day  vacation in the Philippines.  I will be sharing pictures in the next few posts about my vacation.

Tell me, how do you spell MOTIVATION?

For me, Motivation is spelled as G-O-L-D.  yes, you read it right.  GOLD!

The Dubai Municipality has once again initiated a weight loss program for all residents of Dubai.  This is a yearly program of the Dubai Municipality to promote health and wellness in the emirate of Dubai for all nationalities.  This health program is done by Dubai Municipality every Ramadan.

Dubai Weight in Gold Programme

This year, the program is called "Your weight in gold".  The weigh in started 19 November 2013 in different registration sites or jogging tracks in different parks.  I went to the nearest jogging track from my flat, which is the Zabeel Park.

The long line for the weigh-in of Weight in Gold at Zabeel Park 



I spent four hours in line and finally finsihed at 1:15 a.m. when I found out that my current weight is a gruesome 69.1 kg.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

So, here I go again starting my diet and exercise.  On my facebook page, I post my daily diet food or activity.

Good luck and go for gold.
