Achieved my target. Shed off 1.5kg. Amazed that I did it in 3 days. Perhaps because I nipped it in the bud before it became too large?
It was easy. Just exercised, ate lots of fruits (ideal vegetable portions were a bit tough to achieve), avoided fried and oily food and cut down on carbohydrate (ie rice and noodles)
I was supposed to drink FitLine Gourmet Shake as my dinner during the diet, but heck, friends asked me out for steamboat dinner (using pumpkin as soup base). As a foodie, couldnt resist. But I made sure that during dinner, I only ate the meat/vege. I avoided drinking the soup. Pumpkin is very starchy thus high in carbohydrate.
Ok, now back to normal of food in moderation...

Diet Plan 2 with FitLine continued
Looks like I dont have to diet for 10 days as expected. Yipee! With daily exercise and cautious eating, my weight went down by 0.5kg.
Let's look what I ate yesterday.
Breakfast: FitLine Powercocktail + Rolled oats + 1 apple + 1 pear
Morning break: Milo kosong (Malaysian version of hot chocolate without milk and sugar) - had to drink something. Was prospecting
Lunch : Mee hoon soup
Afternoon break : 1 apple + 1 pear
Dinner: FitLine Gourmet Shake + 1 spoon of FitLine Basics Plus + clear chicken soup + fruit smoothy (without cream)
was I hungry throughout the day? most of the time no. there were certain occasions where hunger pang called. I just drank water and focus on activities on hand :)

Diet Plan 2
Due to the birthday celebrations and inadequate exercising for the past 2 weeks, I realised that I put on 1.5kg. And it obviously shows on my face (ie rounder)
I realised somehow that I have a bit too much flesh on me a few days ago. Somehow, a comment made by someone, when I passed my namecard to him, broke the straw.
Today, I just decided to go on my 2nd Diet, damage control, before things get worst (easier to shed 1.5 kg compared to 15kg!)
My Plan for the next 10 days
Breakfast: FitLine powercocktail + rolled oats + 2 fresh fruits
Lunch : Soupy. Nothing fried or oily plus lots of vegetables.
Dinner : FitLine Gourmet Shake
Snacks: Fresh fruits
I am quite confident that I am able to shed off 1.5kg in 10 days. When I shared my diet plan with C, who wanted to introduce a very famous hokkien mee to me, C was crushed. (supposed to have the hokkien mee one of these days)
Anyway, hokkien mee can wait. But my 1.5kg cant!

Different perspective = change
The more airy trek, compared to the usual trail which is shady
We humans are such creature of habits. When we are so used to doing things a certain way, any changes, we are just so out of our comfort zone.
Last weekend, went to Gasing. This time, I agreed to go because we were using a different trail. I enjoyed the trail to a certain extent, but it was uncomfortable. Wasnt familiar with the steps.
The next day, also went to Gasing. This time, with a different group of people and using the 'reverse' trail (ie instead of the usual A to B, we used B to A). It was quite refreshing.
It made me realise that's life too. Sometimes, just have to tweak our habits so that we get out of our comfort zone and get the creative juices following.
Same like FitLine business. Sometimes, I am so used to doing things a certain way, that I didnt stop to think what better ways can be done. Yes, old ways do bring results, thus repeat the strategy. But it's also good to always be on the lookout and get creative on how things can be improved.

Flu season
A few of my appointments for this week have been postponed. Reason - prospect down with either flu/fever.
And mind you, most of these people are the ones who dont believe in supplements. In their thinking, taking a balanced diet is adequate. Well, that statement was true 15 years ago. Look at our environment now. Polluted water, polluted air, pesticides, herbicides, antibiotics for the livestock and the list goes on.
And these are also the folks who will start popping Vitamin C tablets once they feel their throat is itchy...hmmm...do you send your car to the workshop when you hear noises or do you send according to mileage driven?
Well, that's life. I accept that people have their own mentality. And it's my duty to share about what an amazing product FitLine is. Yes or No, it's another matter.

People make life interesting
I was so excited this morning, that I was finally able to meet up with a prospect whom I have been following up for the past 4 months.
F was just always busy - either outstation or preparing for another project.
And when F was finally available to meet me, I was excited that I was able to share about FitLine with her (at last!)
F was an hour late (how you do anything, is how you do everything), and filled the conversation about all the business disappointments....
Hmm...then I realised that F definitely needs more good vibes, to move on.
That is the interesting thing about FitLine - we meet all kinds of people, the good, the bad and the ugly. That is what makes life interesting :)

Healthy Lifestyle with FitLine
At the peak of Saga Hill
Entrance of Saga Hill
I have been going to Gasing Hill almost consistently every other weekend for the past 1.5 years. However of late, realised that the hill was packed with both people and man's best friend (yes, I have phobia for dogs)
Also, I realised that I was getting too comfortable at Gasing - it was my comfort jungle. And when I'm comfortable, growth stops.
Thus, when a friend invited me to Saga Hill, in Taman Saga, Ampang, I jumped at the opportunity.
Difficulty wise, both Saga and Gasing are similar. The biggest difference is Gasing has a lot of 'proper' steps in the jungle, while Saga is more sandy, thus making footing a little slippery at times.
And of course, while hiking up, I kept on sipping FitLine Fitness Drink to maintain my endurance and for faster recovery. Cheers to variety of jungles!

Indulgence lifestyle
A few of us went for a nice dinner at a 5 star hotel in downtown KL. Out of the 4 of us, 3 of our birthdays fall in the month of August (including yours truly :) )
Thus, it was a good excuse to pamper ourselves. Dinner was good. Began with the starter. Mine was mushroom soup. Authentic and definitely not from the can!
Followed by beetroot sorbet, to prepare our palette for the main meal.
And finally, my main meal - cod fish. This was truly yummy. The cod fish was very well marinated.
Overall, very good dinner, surrounded by friends and most importantly, I am able to savour the lifestyle that I enjoy.
In relaxed mood, savouring the ambience and moment...
Am looking forward to the day when my FitLine business has grown to the extent that such lifestyle is a daily occurance, and not just for special occasion.

Success = Punctuality
One of my definitions of success is respecting other people's time, ie being on time.
Everyone says first impression counts. So, if my prospect, or a speaker is late, then my respect for the person goes out of the window.
Why? By not being on time, you are not respecting the other person's time. So if you are not respecting my time, ie not respecting me, why should I respect you? Respect is to be earned, not be default.
Worst is those who are late, for eg half hour and yet dont apologize!

Restorate drink is so YUMMY!
I attended a full day conference today.
Took the opportunity to network, get to know others. And as usual there are all kinds of people. Some are extroverts and some are introverts.
I honestly wonder, those who intend to become entrepreneuers, how can they keep so a low profile? Quiet and not a great conversationalist.
I decided to share Restorate during meal times, instead of the usual Activize.
And all who drank Restorate, really love the taste! And, someone, whom I approached few years ago, now wants to get a can of Restorate. Wow. Love it!

The world is round...what goes around, comes around
Referring to the entry I made in April,
http://fitline-vitamins-for-you.blogspot.com/2009/04/did-i-do-something.html I was actually quite upset with the person.
The usual me will just be sarcastic to the shop owner. This time round, I decided not to. No point being enemies with someone. Afterall, everyone else in the shop treats me well, only this one person doesnt.
It has been four months now, since the incident passed.
And each time I go there, the person treats me very well now.
Remorse? Well, just glad that I am given good customer service...

Being different, like doing MLM
Ever since I lost my weight early last year, I have resigned to the fact that I actually enjoy exercising, especially in the outdoors. I really enjoy the greeneries, chirping of the birds, humming of the insects and of course, being away from the concrete jungle.
Yesterday, instead of my usual brisk walk/jungle trekking, I cycled instead. And that's the thing about Malaysians/Asians in general. If you are doing something uncommon, people stare. Stare at what? For being different? I have no idea.
And mind you, in my 45 minutes of cycling, I got a few stares. Cars actually slowed down, overtook me and turned around to see me.
I was just cycling, donned in my helmet.
Same like in MLM. Since my background is in Finance, many, especially the baby boomers' generation cant understand why I didnt pursue a career in Finance.
Why not work to the top, be a Financial Controller and earn a comfortable and juicy paycheck of 5 figure a month? Why, instead, want to do sales (ie MLM), attend countless seminars and always subject to rejection?
My answer? Because I know what is the result that I will get, when I have sown my seeds of success, much faster than in the corporate world. Anymore arguments on that, I just move on. No point wasting my time and energy on people who dont matter to me.

Always look beyond in FitLine business
I have this consumer, L who purchases quite a sizeable volume of products from me every month.
L has been purchasing the products for about 6 months now. L was initially a tough nut to crack and is still.
L doesnt have much experience and exposure to MLM products and expects the moon, star and sun from me. I really wonder if she has been exposed to other MLM products, will L be served that well...
I believe in adding value to my organizations, doing things beyond the minimum. Somehow with L, it is never enough.
There was once, I had a conversation with L and I mentioned my principles about how I always add value beyond.
To my disappointment, L replied "Let's wait and see".
Well, my upline always mention - look beyond. or chinese saying 'tai hoi'

FitLine decision: ice cream vs cake
I met my prospect at a cafe famous for its cakes.
The cake pamphlet on the table was just staring at me. And the fact that my prospect was 40 minutes late gave me more time to look at the pamphlet (is God testing my will power???)
The time was late evening, close to 5pm. I normally have my dinner by 730pm. Thoughts were playing in my mind - yes, I would love to have the cake, but then again, it will spoil my dinner, overload of calories and getting the cake is unnecessary expenses.
At the end, I won! I just had a juice and plain water. YEAH! (cant say the same of New Zealand Natural's Macadamia Supreme though. luckily no ice cream pamphlet staring at me...)

FitLine business is so easy to share!
FitLine Activize
Of late, when I share about FitLine with prospects, people always ask me 'tablet form ah'? (ah is a Malaysian pun added to the sentence. Same like lah, mah. Dont ask me how it originated)
And I will always reply, no, it's a drink and they taste great. We dont have tablet formats here as our USP is absorption.
And then I will prepare the FitLine Activize drink for both the prospect and myself. And 99.99% of the prospects will drink the FitLine Activize and 90% are so plesantly surprised that it taste great! (of the hundreds of prospects I have come across with, only ONE prospect refused to drink)
Thus, it's so EASY to share about FitLine! Imagine wanting someone to swallow a tablet? And you offer the tablet to the prospect??? Will you swallow a tablet if someone were to offer to you? I honestly will think MANY times...
