Get Skinny Faster with This Switch

When it comes to the battle of the bulge, you have a better shot of winning if you make this simple switch: Drink water instead of soda and plain tea instead of sweet coffees.

The results can be dramatic. In fact, research shows that cutting beverage calories resulted in more weight loss than cutting food calories. Suddenly, water sounds grand!

Stop Downing the Soda
People in a study who cut back on sugar-laden beverages like soda, fruit punch, and other sweetened drinks shed more pounds than the folks who kept sipping the sweet stuff during their dieting efforts. Researchers suspect that cutting back on beverage calories does even more good than cutting back on food calories because solid food does a better job of satisfying hunger than liquids do. Plus, it’s possible that the fructose in sugary drinks may boost fat storage and lead to hormone changes that increase overall food intake. Here’s how much H2O you need to drink to melt away an extra 2 1/2 pounds.

Reasons to Sip Less
Of course, this doesn’t mean you can eat what you want as long as you ditch the soda and fruit punch. The best weight loss diets are heart-healthy ones that cut overall calories in a way you can sustain long term. Try these other weight loss tips to top off your efforts:

• Set goals. Whether you want to lose 10 pounds or 50, setting and tracking your weight loss goals can keep you motivated. Use these goal-tracking tools to get you started.
• Forget the smorgasbord. Learn why reducing variety in your diet can squash cravings better than willpower can.
• Walk this way. To boost weight loss, all you gotta do is walk. Use this tracking tool to keep tabs on every pound-shedding step you take.

3 Steps to a Summer-Ready Backside

Don’t tell us. We know. Summer’s here, so there’s no more hiding behind bulky sweaters and big jeans.

But don’t panic. You can get your backside ready for shorts and swimwear fast with these three simple exercise tips from fitness expert Tina Vindum, author of Outdoor Fitness.

• Summer means stairs. Seek the stairs everywhere you go. Here’s how to make them work for your backside: Fully plant your foot on each step, and firmly press through your heel and tighten your glutes as you straighten your leg with each step. Find out how just 2 minutes of daily stair climbing helps cholesterol, too.
• Take a kickback. Give your butt an even better stair workout by lifting your free leg straight behind you as you take each step. Raise it to a 45-degree angle, and squeeze your glutes as you lift.
• Cop a squat on a hill. First, read up on the proper form for squats. Then, do your squats on a hill for extra backside firming. You should be facing down the slope.

Don’t forget your abs! Here’s an easy workout video that can help tone your midsection.

Tori Nanban Gyoza Wasen Set At Ichiban Sushi

1 For 1 Deals At Swensens!!!

I went for lunch at Swensens restaurant at Northpoint with hubby recently and we were pleasantly surprised with its 1 for 1 lunch promotion deals (extended till end August 2009 with extended timing till 5pm) which includes all the food items in its menu. Plus, top up $2 and enjoy a soup, coffee, tea, soft drink or single scoop ice-cream.

There was a long queue outside the restaurant and we had to wait awhile for seats but it was really worthwhile as our total bill came up to only $25/- and i got to eat all my favourite sides dishes which was super sinful!!! I also had my favourite salmon mushroom baked rice which was real delicious as usual :> The promotion is from now till 31 August and only during weekdays, 11am to 5pm and i will definitely go back again with hubby before the promo ends.

More Interesting Stuff At Daiso (Sembawang Shopping Centre)

I love going to Daiso to check out its interesting and useful products and have been going there regularly since it opened a branch at Sembawang Shopping Centre near my home :> I did not even know that Daiso sells instant noodle and end up buying the Tokyo Ramen Mild Curry and Pepper Chicken flavours home to try. The packaging looks nice and hopefully the Ramen will turn out as yummy when i cook it.

Hong Kong Drama - Burning Flame 3 / 烈火雄心 3

I have finished watching drama "The Threshold of A Persona" and another exciting Hong Kong drama that i have been looking forward to watching has finally started showing in Hong Kong. The third installment of Burning Flame (32 episodes) started its run on Monday, 6 July 2009 . The first episode managed to draw 2.4 million viewers and achieved 36 points average rating and peaked at 38 points.. Similar to its predecessors shown in 1998 and 2002, Burning Flame 3 tells the story of a group of firefighters who strive to protect the safety and well-beings of the citizens of Hong Kong. They work in extreme conditions to rescue victims and through these trying times, the beauty of human nature shines through. Burning Flame III will have a new storyline and will not continue where its predecessor left off. However the main theme is still on firefighters' duties and challenges. Wong Hei will continue his legacy as a firefighter alongside the other main casts Kevin Cheng, Bosco Wong and Myolie Wu.

Besides focusing on firefighters' duties, Burning Flame 3 also sheds light on father and son relationship between Wong Hei and his onscreen father Kong Hong. Moreover there are also romantic plots including a budding love triangle between Wong Hei and his onscreen best friend and colleague Kevin Cheng for female lead Myolie Wu. At the same time Kevin Cheng is also being pursued by Leanne Li. Bosco Wong will have love line with Aimee Chan and Stephen Wong will be romantically involved with Elaine Yiu.

The leader of the group of firemen, Chung Yau Sing (Wong Hei), encouraged Fong Lei On (Bosco Wong) to take up the challenge and join the team. Lei On gets to know Cheuk Pak Yue, (Kevin Cheng) who was once buddies with Yau Sing but has since drifted apart due to a misunderstanding. Lei On sides with Yau Sing and as a result, his relationship with Pak Yue suffers. Lei On believes that Pak Yue has stolen Yau Sing's girlfriend, Ko Wai Ying (Myolie Wu) and also caused Yau Sing serious injuries.

However, a terrible fire accident draws the team together in a twist of fate. The team of firefighters reflect and search for a deeper sense of awareness among themselves. I did not watch the earlier 2 seasons of the drama but i'm definitely going to watch season 3 as my favourite actress Myolie Wu has a part in this drama. I also like watching Wong Hei's acting and he had acted in the previous 2 seasons of the drama. The ending theme song titled "有意" is sung by Kevin Cheng & Myolie Wu.
