7K Sunset Charity Run in action

Oh yea where I gonna start?
I remembered before the pageant week... Okay, let’s start from here!

Before pageant week, I remembered that I did blogged about the 7K Run right?
On the 10th July 2010, Sutera Habour have this 7K Sunset Charity Run. That day I was sick and I want to do something for MBTQI. So, I decided to go and I was there with my family, and I manage to meet Abbey and Marie. That day was the second time that I met Marie. At first, I was all alone and luckily Abbey called me and ask whether am I in Sutera. So, this is why three of us run together! :D Running with them was fun and I get to laugh non stop when they started to talk.

68kgs went to 58kgs within 7 weeks!

Before Miss Borneo Tourism Queen International 2010 Audition, I have lost 2kgs.
I have forgotten how I lose weight at this moment but I took lots and lots of Pilates classes in KK Pilates Studio with Regina. Classes are really good for me and she really helps me a lot to prepare myself for the beauty pageant. She’s really a supportive friend and teacher to me.

After Audition and Before the Pageant Week, I have lost 5kgs.
Cassandra Patrick told me to avoid taking rice, and I did. At the meantime, I changed my appetite to half vegetarian. For about 3 weeks and 4 days, I have lost approximately 5kgs. Not to forget about Pilates too every night! But in between those days, I did took some Lamb Chop, Pizza Hut, things like that too because of celebration haha! What do I take? I cut down my portions and to eat healthily! Simple at it is! And for me, I love to add some creativity on my foods. Check out the pictures!

Breakfast or Lunch (This can be taken at both times either breakfast or lunch):
Wholemeal bread + Lettuce + Tomatoes + Ham/ Tuna
Oat + Honey/ Fruits

Dinner:
Fish and Salad or Fruits

Not to be too happy because my friends really shocked that I can lose weight within a month. So, they said, “You slim down really fast, means that you can gain weight fast too!” So, beware! Everybody’s body type is not the same thou. In between, Cassandra told me that I can go for CORE Fitness to work out and it’s for free. Really thank you Cass and to CORE but I only get to go few times because of my schedules.

During Pageant Week, I have lost 2kgs.
For real, I eat anything that I could but I still eat under control. I tried to take salad instead of Lamb Chop or Steak even though it’s tempting when I saw someone did actually order it when we all shared few dishes together ;) Every day during the pageant week, we tried to wake up early with basic make ups and took our breakfast at Tanjung Ria Cafe, Hyatt Regency Kinabalu. I really love the Coco Crunch and almost every day I had it after my first try. Not only that, the croissants and buns are nice, fruits are delicious especially the dragon fruits. What I do, I tried to avoid oily foods. I remembered what Stella Matilda told me, “Take fruits or juices before taking your main dishes” and I listened.

For me, I sometimes couldn’t eat less but to eat more because I knew that I need energy to practice and to go on with the daily activities. Stay healthy is what important. With that, stresses are what we had so I think that makes me lost weight during the pageant week. Haha. Lunch and dinner sometimes at Mosaic but still we also had our dinner at Cock and Bull, Jesselton Point because that is the official restaurant for this pageant.

After Pageant Week, I have lost 1kg.
I really scared that I would go back to basic. So, now I am 59kgs and I just couldn’t let it go back with a 6 in front. Maybe, plus a little stress in life and a mission to go 55kg. Haha! To tell you the truth, I eat lots after the pageant week. For real! I ate Lamb Chop, KFC, Lamb Stew, Chicken Cordon Bleu, and I ate rice! Haha!

That’s all for my lose weight plan and I hope this really helps and inspire for those who wants to lose weight because it really works on me without taking any pills or slimming tea, anything! Just in case, this is what I want to tell you guys. First, must have a positive mind. Don't care what other people said that you are big or whatsoever because I did received harsh comments from the others before, during and even after the pageant weeks. For me, we must love ourselves and our body because our body listens to us. And I could tell you this, a lot of people have been talking about me for my body shape and my waistline. Well, I just have to admit that I have a 29 inch waist (now 28 inch hehehe and before, you don't wanna know it haha) but I am there to prepare myself and to improve myself. Yet, I prove it because I am Chloe :D

I am who I am and the most important part in ourselves, is our inner beauty. The heart.

Stay tune dears! Love you lots  <3

I'm back from Pageant Week!

Hello again to all readers!

I’m back again to blog and I’m so sorry because I just gave myself a short holiday after the pageant week for Miss Borneo Tourism Queen International 2010! I know it’s been about 2 weeks that the competition ended (7 August 2010) but yeah I’m taking my sweet time until today, I wanted to share it all and continue blog as usual :D

Again, I’m back to my normal life BUT with some titles (Miss Nature’s Guardian, Miss Charity, and Miss Popular-7077 votes) that I’m holding right now. No worries, because I will be telling you all the stories and my experiences in the beauty pageant!

Picture Below: Taken on 13 August 2010

To tell you the truth, one of the reasons that I skip blogging this few weeks is because of Aldrich. Yupes, he is back from Sarawak and I wanted to spend some time with him after the pageant week because he felt lonely *ohhhh~* that I’m too busy for the pageant and for college. Anyway, he’s now back to Sarawak again for his studies. So, I started to blog again!

Well, short holiday for me is quite satisfying haha because I get to eat some of my favourite dishes after the pageant. All those lambs, lamb chop, lamb stew; hmm... so far, I think that’s my heavy dishes. Not to forget about KFC which I had on the day after the competition. Will blog about this to a day to day story! Stay tune!
