Gourmae Day

And because it has been a gluttonous weekend, today I've decided to go healthy again before the year ends.
A lot of my friends have been telling me that I gained some weight again. I don't really mind having the extra pounds but I'm determined not maintain and watch my weight to keep it normal.
It's gonna be another No Rice week so today I went to the grocery to pick up some stuff and prepare something very special yet very healthy as sort of "bawi" from my failed Christmas feast plan.

I've decided to prepare some chicken meat and place it in the ref so I can conveniently grab a portion each meal. I find it more cheap as well instead of paying a high price for just a small portion.

I also bought some prepared vegetable salad plus some additional garnishes and fruits to bring in the office. Also I bought some wholewheat bread to serve as my source of healthy carbo.

I remember buying a golden plate 2 years ago as a prop for my very 1st feature as Madam CEO. Good thing I was able to keep it in our office pantry. I guess today was the best day to use it to give my meal a gourmet touch. So here it is...... It only looks expensive but it's not. hehehe

I carefully arranged all of them on the plate and this is the finished product.....

A meal fit for a queen! I guess the only thing missing is a chilled glass of wine and it's gonna be divine!!!
hihihihihihi!!!
I really feel happy when I prepare meals!!!! I'd like to cook more next year!!!

Healthy Sausages By Healthy Harvey

Maintaining your weight can really be a struggle when you share a special romance with
food.
I'm so so proud and happy with my success in losing my weight this year.. my secret?
it's around 20% no rice, more fruit diet and 80% comes from having a broken heart! The perfect formula for losing weight! I strictly observe these on weekdays for weekends are for friends and food!!

Being into your ideal weight is really really important! Aside from being healthy, it also adds up a lot on ones confidence. For us women, having nice curves really makes a difference as compared with women who are plump. Hey I've been there..I've been overweight for 6 years so I know how it feels to have such low self esteem. I know very well that beauty should be more than just the physical but honestly, being physically attractive does count.

These days, I've been really doing my best to maintain my weight. As you all know, I rarely eat breakfast due to my late wake up time. Usually I'd just have a cup of tea before I head to work then have lunch at a mall near my office. Lately I've been addicted to these gourmet sausages made by Healthy Harvey located near Robinson's Supermarket at the Galleria. They offer very healthy sausages (40% less fat and cholesterol).. very much guilt free! At first I thought they're made of red meat but to my surprise, their sausages are actually made from 100% fish meat!
WOW! Never thought it would actually come from 100% fish meat for it tasted like a real Hungarian sausage!! I was fooled indeed!

Their sandwiches only cost around 58 pesos.. hmmm not bad I guess. Their serving is quite big. You may even pick 2 toppings.. I always ask mine to be topped with Pomodoro sauce and lots of grated cheese!!! Yum yum!

For those of you who still wanna enjoy sausages minus the guilt, I highly recommend this to all of you!! Here are the pictures while the crew prepares my order...
