“GONG XI FA CAI” In The Year Of The RAT!
Filed Under (diet info care, health and wellness, lunar new year) by Viv on 09-02-2008
Wishing all my friends and readers A Happy, Healthy & Prosperous Lunar New Year!
The lunar new year is celebrated for 15 days which means there will be more eating, visiting and drinking. As for me, am flying my white flag already. In a typical Chinese home, meat dishes of pork, chicken and duck are the main attraction starting from the Eve’s reunion dinner onwards and so don’t get much vegetables being served. Today, am staying put at home for a vege and fruit diet plus drink more water.
And here, I would like to take this opportunity to thank Fatiah who blogs at SEW MY NAME for her beautiful gifts that she handmade for me. What did she make for me? Have a look at her nice gifts. Not sure how she does it - she maintains her beautiful home with her handicrafts, takes care of her four children, cooks, blogs and sews. Recently I heard from her, she will be going into jewellery making too. I take my hat off to you, Fatiah and wish you all the best! Do take care of your health, too!
Another mention, would be a blogger friend, Waliz who works as a counsellor from Malaysia. Do visit her YUMMY RECIPE blog, she has a good range of recipes that I love to try out when I have the time. Besides this, she also has an interest in health and so check out her health blog too!
Being so busy the last few weeks, I have yet to purchase a pedometer for myself. I love walking and I have recently signed up at WalkerTracker, a community site where pedometer fans can log in and keep track of their steps. Iowa Avenue of which I am also a member recommended this site. IA is a weight management community and its main purpose is to bring like-minded people together to promote a healthy lifestyle in a meaningful way. I would encourage those of you who are into a healthy lifestyle to join this awesome community too!
I also plan to improve my blog which is already six months old. Any feedback would be very much appreciated….
Cheers^^

Hi Viv,
Is there a pedometer that is reliable and cheap?
A cheap one I bought years ago varied by a third for the same walk. Since then I’ve gone off pedometers.
Would like to know if you have found one that is reliable.
Thanks.
ha..ha..how I do it? Just do it! Vivien- just close my eyes to housework when I want to do sewing or my craft work.
