Energized with no Monday blues

Was still feeling stressful for the past few weeks due to work

So many projects, so tight timelines

It's a love-hate relationship with the jubilee long weekend 

Maybe it's the very awesome Jurassic World movie that left me energised today

Things just got completed BAM BAM BAM
Feeling so proud of myself 

On the way to my 4th Tamil class! 

current snack addictions

I have been abstaining from sugar products like desserts and white rice

By right would have maintained it at my record low 49kg

But I have been snacking ALOT
Pumpkin seeds, cashew nuts, almonds, taro chips and broccoli chips
I can eat them after every meal, 3 times a day

My weight is stable now at 52 - 53kg

Feeling stressed up by work recently

Stress is bad for leaky gut oh no

allergic to chicken egg and mushroom

After 12 years of being diagnosed with eczema with no root cause known

I finally found the main cause of my eczema and rashes

LEAKY GUT SYNDROME!

In layman term, it means my intestinal lining is porous than normal

Toxins and undigested food particles are absorbed back into the bloodstream

Hence causing rashes and constant gas/bloatedness 

That explains my gastritis which acts up almost after every heavy meal

Did an IGG Food Allergy Test and discovered 

High Allergy (level IV and above) - Chicken Egg, Mushroom
Moderate Allergy (level III) - Duck Egg, Walnuts, Ginger, Abalone, Oyster, Watermelon

Apart from avoiding these food
And ensuring that the same ingredient is not consumed more than 4 consecutive days

I am also taking 6 types of supplement on a daily basis

Probiotic, L-Glutamine, Omega-3 Fish Oil, Vitamin C, Zinc, Quercetin

The doctor also advised no gluten and dairy for 3 months just to be safe

Crossing my fingers I can heal my intestinal lining soon!

Spoken Tamil first lesson

Attended the first lesson of Spoken Tamil class

It was a pact between Gan and I

Me learning Tamil and he learning Mandarin

It is a small class with only 5 of us

The language is not difficult to learn 

Thank god I didn't opt for the written class

Enjoyed myself and looking forward to the next lesson!

P.S. There is no 'good night' or 'good afternoon' in Tamil

first blog post after 5 years

Found out about my blog address yesterday at www.greenietex-0.blogspot.com

Man, it surely brought back tons of memories from 2005 to 2010

Cannot believe I was so lame last time

Had a great laugh at my posts and those whom I linked 

I am starting to blog again to let the future me know the current me

Definitely became healthier and more mature throughout the years

Sleeping before 11pm, waking up at 6+ in the morn, adhering to my no-sugar-no-carbo diet, love spending time with family rather than friends

Just some recap on the key milestones in recent years

At 22, put on braces

At 23, started my first relationship (lasted only 1 month though)

At 25, dating an Indian boyfriend

At 25, bought Kobe, my very cute toy poodle

At 26, revolutionized my diet consisting of only greens, meat, nuts, seeds and plain water

At 27, went for Lasik surgery

Starting my Tamil conversational class tomorrow

Receiving my IGG Food Allergy test results hopefully on this Tuesday

This week will be just awesome!
