It’s been awhile…I’m back!

Hello everyone, it’s been awhile that Im updating my blog. Well, well, well..its a part of my goal to have an optimum happiness including job task. I don’t want to work hard and no one appreciate your hardwork, to be in the wrong team. Despite all of that, I rather be alone and focusing on my own strength. I believe each of person has his/her own strength and weakness. What you need to do, is to focus on someone strength and make a good use of it, rather than focusing on someone weakness and pulling down their willpower. So, to be in a positive environment is most crucial for our own happiness. I hope one day, I can have an optimum happiness. It’s not a big dream, a dream that I feel satisfied to what I have for now. To feel greatful to my God (Allah SWT) for what I have.

Well guys, let’s live follow the flow. Sometimes, what you plan didn’t work, but believe it, with patience it will eventually worth it.

Till then, I will update more often after this..

To be continue…

Love, Sofia

Let’s pickup the dumbell, again!!!!! 😅

Hi everyone!! Hope you doing good. Today remarks 1 year since I left gym and exercises. It is just recently, I notice that I need to start pickup up back my dumbell. Yawww!!!😄

Im afraid, if I reach 40 and then been dignosed with diabetes or hypertension. No way!!! Health is treasure! I want it back. 😀Well, when I’m an auditor before, I frequently having migrain and hypertension. So, I left the job coz I don’t feel its worth it coz impacting my health. Yes, Im a health conscious its just a matter of time to exercise and time to prepare food that I’m struggling with now.

Today, I started squeeze in some time, afterwork before the night shower..to pick up my fav dumbell, switch on the utube video and do 20 minutes (no jump, no lunges, no squad exercise-my body is just not ready yet for those, lets start something simple) 😂 To be honest with you, it only last for 15 minutes. But its okay, lets have a 15 minutes consistency rather than nothing, guys!!! 😃😃😃

Well, after being ‘scam’ with the gym trainer , as a minimalist I think the best is to keep motivated and discipline. To start with, you can guy a pair of fav dumbell (as the weight u comfortable with), and yoga mat.Its not that expensive too, medicine was 😉 my fav dumbell was 4lb (~1.8kg) each. I bought a pair 4lbx2dumbell= 8lb (~3.6kg) 🥰

Switch on utube channel, then there u go. Just slot some 1 hour time in your schedule for exercise. I think the best for me is between 6-7pm. I’ll be off at 6pm, then shower at 7pm.

Guys!! Let’s go on healthy way, being healthy is lifestyle, not sometimes but all the times. Let’s start a long healthy lifestyle and maintain our health. The medicine is very expensive nowadays, we shall take care of our health!! 😇

Get back to the Office…Essential things to consider as a minimalist

HelloOooo!!! Hello!! HelloooOooooo everyone 😀 How is your Monday, Everyone?!! Hope it’s gone..smooothly…another 4 days to goo…wooHoooOoo!!!

Okay, everyone is getting busy to get back to the normal lifestyle, same goes to going back to the office. I found it’s kinda disturbing, after 2 years plus we’ve been working from home, right? Some will be effective when working from office, the other will be effective when working from home. But hey, do we get any choices now? Nope. 😄

Okay, so I’ve been looking into extra expenses that I need to bare when going back to the office such as transporation, food, safety essential (mask, sanitizer), dress etc. This is how, I try to manage my daily expenses low, as low as I can 😃

Going back to the office, What should I spend on?

1. Transportation

I believe this is the most expenses that we need to spend, including both fuel and season car parking. But, if you have public transport option, go with public transport. Well, it’s individual choice. For me, I preferred public transport because save a lot money, and traveling time can spend to do something. It cost me at least RM 160 for parking, and fuel about RM 200 per month. While using public transport (LRT), it cost me RM 50 per month 😃

2. Lunch

Well, this is kinda expensive too. It cost about at least RM20 per day, that makes it RM 100 per week and RM 400 per month. If you can prepare the lunch, it is advisable to do so. But hey, my current job kinda flexi, so I be going to office for half day, and going back to home for another half of the day. I save my lunch by making my own lunch at home 😃

3. Clothes

Okay, as a minimalist, I don’t buy any new clothes to go office. I just recycle what I have by mix & match my clothes. Pretty happy with this new approach, I can now control buying clothes 😄

4. Safety essential

You can’t avoid this. I spend lil bit on face mask, if you like the washable mask, you can use it. But, I do still comfortable wearing the disposable mask. Might be later, to start use the washable one, so I can save from buying disposable mask. Sanitizer, I got store in my bag, and 1 in workplace drawer just in case I forgot to bring. ☺

Okay guys, I think thats for now..try to reduce waste in future, I’m still trying my best…🙂😗

First step to build a healthy lifestyle ☺

Good morning, everyone!!! 😃

To build a healthy lifestyle needs courage, mental strength, and continuous discipline. It’s not easy, but when u starts, u can go with the flow. Each person has different kind of courage, try to understand yourself what u need the most. For me, all I need is a healthy food intake. It works for me to have beautiful and quality tableware to be used in daily routine 🥰

My fav color for tableware. I just buy 1 complete set for myself. U don’t need much. Buy a beautiful and good quality one for urself, to gain ur interest in preparing ur dish. Make it a hobby to prepare ur dish, so that u will aware what kind of food to put onto the plate.

Well, for me sometimes, I don’t eat the prepared food straight coz of busy schedule. So, I do have separated container for my food 🥰

Its stainless steel container with lid. U can used any kind that suit yourself, as long as its separated container. This because, we need to take into consideration of category food we took. Its recommended to have half fiber (quarter fruit, quarter vegie), quarter protein (chicken/beef/fish/lamb), and quarter carbs (rice/noodle/pasta/bread).
My container with lid

Okay, after I prepared my tableware, I need to get incharge and plan out my meals. Try to find some recipes that suit ur calorie intake. Im gonna try calorie counter apps, coz I dont need excess calories. Let’s starts!!!

I’m using LifeSum apps, to calculate necessary calories and gonna start on next Monday. So, there are 2 additional routine I’m gonna add-on, first is to trace my calorie intake, secondly is to add-in 30min exercise on my daily routine. If I can’t make it, I will reduce exercise time to 15min, as long as I can add-in exercise habits on my routine. ☺

I start with apps to count my calorie in and out. My body works this way. 🥰

U can use any free apps. I just use the free apps and didn’t subscribe any apps. I wanna keep my commitment low, so I don’t waste any cents 😃

Okay, till then…I will plan out my short term goal shortly to achieve by end of this year. Not much, but to ensure all achieve by end of this year 😘

Till then, to be continue…
