health status

My female owner “stay healthy” campaign starts tomorrow! (yah, if tomorrow ever comes)

Before she went over the Brisbane, she was a healthy eater and she had a clean bill of health status (based on an objective medical check-up). Predominately white meat, lotsa greens, minimal dairy or confectionary products, minimal snacks. She avoided sugar like poison. Her indulgence would be the occasional fried food (chips, chicken wings) or empty calories (i.e. alcohol). But those were consumed in social settings. She had much better self-control then.

In Brisbane, her diet changed dramatically. Proportion of red meat increased, greens reduce, and need I mention? Overdose of sweet products like biscuits, cookies, chocolate, cakes and carbohydrates like rice, potato and pasta. She even started consuming dairy products like cream, yoghurt, cheese and milk. She hasnt really touched sweets or fried food yet.. so there's still hope.

One thing stayed the same - coffee. But dosage increased, to at least 2 cups a day.

In a spate of 4 months, the weight/ fat gain is astonishing and she can just imagine her health status deteriorating into the unacceptable fat range and possibly high cholesterol level. Not to mention her left knee which acts up once in a while when she’s walking, even though she is no longer playing badminton or practicing aikido.

Speaking of which, that’s another area of concern. She used to engage in physical activities about 3 times a week but now, she just engage in mental activities. Her physical body is wasting away, as her brain struggles to cope with her school assignments (not enough brain cells and synapses apparently).

Ah, a combination of high-fat/ sugar diet and no exercise is a recipe for poor health! Come back to Singapore, your health is more important! (I wonder if I would be able to recognise her when she comes back)
