WORK THAT FAT

HEY GUYS ZZUPPP ! Doin' great, right? 

So guys, you know that I'm living my healthy lifestyle (people'll say its a diet tho HAHA). AND the good news is I've just lost 1 kg of my weight!! So I'm 52 kg now B-) #feelingcool LOL kidd! Actually, I've set my weight goal since a long time ago, it is 48 kg. So you can see that there are still tons of struggles to do :') but anyway, I'm alright! 

Hmmm... my healthy lifestyle, in fact, mainly includes 2 things, which are healthy food and working out. For this time, I'll share my exercise routine. It's not complicated, but trust me, being consistent in simple things can bring you to a much higher level in your life !

So basically, I work out 7 days/week ( which means everyday :p ), but not all of my exercises are done at home. I go to the gym 3-4 times a week, this consists of treadmill-jogging (1), zumba class (1-2), and body-combat class (1). 

BODY COMBAT

The most tiring one is the body-combat class tho. I recently join this class and I really need a lot of adaptation, since it's an extremely-high-impact cardio exercise. It consists of punching, kicking, planking, etc. It's actually a high energy martial-arts inspired workout. It can burn out until 740 calories along the way.

ZUMBA

While for zumba, it's a cardio-dance class. It's really fun yet also tiring. The first time I joined the class, I was also exhausted. This dance class is inspired by Latin choreo. In this class, you'll dance to many earcatching musics, such as latin, pop, dance, RnB, hip hop, and other kinds of music.

For the jogging, I set the speed in the range of 6 - 9 mph.Because if it's faster than that, it's called running, not jogging. While the effect between them are pretty different. Running burns the latest food you consume while jogging burns the old & burried one. I jog for an hour, divided into 30 minutes-6mph, 10 minutes for each 7,8, and 9 mph.

How about other days in a week ? For these days, I'll do the home-exercise. Below are the exercise I do at home. 

• SIT UP - you definitely know how to do sit-ups right! It's so simple and you can do it wherever you want (don't do it while you're driving/in the public places please x))). THe concept are just to lie your body, bend your knees, and raise your upper body with your abs strength! Easy ;)

• CRUNCH - this exercise looks like sit up, but it's just a half of sit up (confusing (?)). In this exercise, you'll use your more-upper abs muscle to move your more-upper body. Kind of small sit up(?) 

• LEG RAISE - in this abs exercise, you only need to lie down your body and straighten your legs. Raise your legs and also harden your abs muscle. Then, move your legs down but hold them so they don't touch the floor. In this exercise, your lower abs role is to hold your legs.

• KNEE TUCK - find a place to sit, and then lift your leg. Bend and straighten your knees in repetition, use your abs mucles to hold so your legs don't fall and touch the ground. Your have to incline your body a bit to the back, but don't lay on the chair.

• PLANK - this consists of holding your body in a push-up position (but don't use your palms to hold your body, use your elbows) for a range of time. Make sure you also hold your stomach so it doesn't fall to the ground (use abs muscles)

• JUMPING JACK - this jumping exercise is good because it trains your cardiac and increase your height! you just need to wave both of your hands, and also open and close your legs while jumping.

Those exercises above can be done at anywhere, anytime you want. Better to use mattress if you do the abs exercises, since it can cause you a backache remembering that your back will hit the ground for many times. For the repetition, it depends on your own strength. Don't force yourself to be like an athlete if you're only a beginner. Slowly but sure is the principle you need to remember when you want to increase the repetition. 

GOODLUCK ON WORKING YOUR BODY!

Food !?!?!?

Yoooo guys! How are you? Again, I'm a bit confused about what to write. But I suddenly remember that yesterday, while I was scrolling my ig timeline, I found this simple yet appetizing recipe. If you just read the recipe, I'm pretty sure you won't be interested enough to cook this food. So I decide to write the recipe and attach the video link. The video is in Indonesian, and the steps are shown pretty briefly. I'm afraid you can neither understand or catch it up. So here, let's start!

HOW TO MAKE AN EGG FRIED-RICE

Ingredients : 

• 3 eggs
• 1 plate of white rice
• 1/2 piece of chili (diced) 
• 2 tbsp of minced carrots
• 1 cup of chopped leeks
• 1/3 cup of cooking oil
• 1 tbsp of soysauce
• pepper & salt

Steps : 

1.  Turn on the stove and put the frying pan on it (Make sure the frying pan is dry and there isn't a drop of water at all. Because wet pan can cause 'small explode' of the oil which can hurt our hand and leave a scorch mark.)
2. Heat the cooking oil on it.
3. Add the carrot and the leeks, stir fry for a while.
4. Add the eggs, scramble it, then add the soysauce.
5. Cook until the eggs are half-cooked, then add the rice. Mix it well.
6. Add the pepper & salt sufficiently and carefully. Stir it well.
7. Add the chili. Stir it well.
8. Serve it while it's still hot.
9. You can choose the companion, such as crisps, kimchi, shredded chicken/cow, etc.

Easy right? You can cook it to fill your leisure... and also your tummy!! hahahha

Save Your Stomach :p

Yoooo peeps! It's been a week since I made my first blog and wrote my first article about myself. And honestly, I'm really confused about what I'm gonna write on this one. I've been thinking for minutes and I think I've just find something to share. 

So, for the last few days, I'd been eating less in my breakfast time, bcs my weight loss suddenly stopped and I didn't know why. At school, I sat right at the position to where the air conditioner bursts its wind. Yeah you know that this situation is very supporting if you want to have the bloated-stomachh-experience.. ahahaha jk! You'll never want to experience that. Based on the story above, I want to share some things to prevent y'all from having a bloated-stomach.

1.     NEVER suddenly reduce your breakfast in a great amount - you may reduce it, but through step by step. Why? Because it's too sudden, your stomach won't be ready. The space which used to be filled by food, will be filled by gas produced by your own stomach. That's why if you want to reduce your breakfast, reduce it gradually, so the gas produced won't be too much and won't cause you any unwell feeling.

2.     Know your soon-to-face condition - before deciding to do something, you have to know the situation you're going to face. If you know that your teacher places you at the wind-bursted place, you have to fill your stomach with the amount of food needed by your stomach. You have to prepare your body well by giving it what it needs in order to avoid uncomfortable feelings in your body.

3.     Adjust your body posture and position - if you manage to be placed/place yourself in a windy area, you have to pay attention on your body posture. If you're sitting, bend your stomach so there is no room for wind to fill. If you're standing, just walk away and find something to cover you from the wind (such as wall, rock, etc).

Those are some tips to prevent the bloated-stomach. But what if you have no chance to prevent it and the wind just succeeds in filling your belly? What should you do?

1.     Double (or even triple!) your meal portion - if you have a bloated-stomach, it means that you haven't eaten enough and your body is asking for more. Doube or triple your meal portion to push the gas outside your body so your stomach will be filled by a real food. Don't be afraid of the weight-gain! If you push the gas by eating clean, trust me, there won't be any weights to gain. But if you cure your stomach by eating randomly without marking on the food's fat and sugar, you'll likely gain weight(s). 

2.     (Unless you can't move due to the unwell feeling) Do exercises! - exercising will push the gas out since you move your body. Exercising won't make your body worse, it makes it better. 

3.     Drink hot water a lot - Drinking water will stimulate your metabolism since the water you drink has to be absorbed and processed in your body through the metabolism. The more metabolism occurs, the more gas will come out from your body, because your internal organs' muscles will work and they will push the gas out from your body.

4.     Do not consume anything spicy - spiciness will only stimulate your stomach to produce more gases.

5.     Do not consume any dairy products with the lactose contain - dairy products contain lactose which can create excessive gas in your intestine (especially for those who suffer the lactose intolerance [they can't consume the lactose well since they have less lactase enzyme in their body. Lactose without being properly digested will create excessive gas).

6.     Do not consume food containing vitamin C too much - high doses of vitamin C (more than 2000 mg daily) can cause gas in your stomach.

7.     Do not consume starchy food - Starch (carbohydrate) is difficult to digest. In order to break it down, it takes process which can cause intestinal gas. Starchy food includes corn, potato, bread, cereal, pasta, etc. Unlike its 'friends', rice doesn't seem to create intestinal gas.

8.     Do not consume high-sugar/fat food - sugar and fat take a lot of work in order to digest them. The more work your digestive tract do, the more gas will be produced. This is also the reason why you have to fill your stomach cleanly, beside the weight-gain thing.

9.     Do not consume food containing soluble fiber - Beans, nuts, cabbage, broccoli, and other vegetables with the similar texture contain the soluble fiber, which can cause intestinal gas.

10. DO NOT DRINK ANY TEA - tea will cause gas formation and indigestion, so it will make your stomach become worse

Yeahh I know there are so many things to do to cure the bloating. But if you do it properly and correctly, I promise that your stomach will be cured and you'll feel much better! The sign of your stomach-healing can be different from other people. But for me, the sign is when I fart much! HAHAHAH it's disgusting and weird ikr! Actually that fact makes me realize that everything God gives to us is meant to be thanked. Even if it seems useless, disgusting, annoying (like fart x))), actually it takes an important role in our health. Now, everytime I fart, I thank God because I know that my body's condition is well and normal XD! 

I hope the tips above can help you to feel better and maintain your body's health!

First Things First

Hi guys! 

Before I start writing things, I'd like to introduce myself and tell you about some stories of my life. Soo check it out! 

I'm Iorysiella Kongguasa (it's not Lory but iory, since an uppercase 'i' looks like a lowercase 'L' lol), people usually call me iory, ior, ioy (weirdly cute nickname HAHA), ii, yor, iyor, etc. Some people laugh at my name bcs it sounds just like the name of a donkey character in Winnie-the-Pooh, which is eeyore -_- x)). Actually, my mom said that it's a Japanese-Western name. 'Iory' is Japanese, while 'siella' is Western (i don't think so, tho), and 'Kongguasa' is my first name. I personally don't know the meaning of my name. In case you are curious about my name, I promise I will post about it once I know the meaning of it. 

I was born on April 4, 2001, in Bandung, Indonesia. When I was a child, I ate a lot. I was so chubby that people often stared at me with this oh-my-God-that-fat-baby-is-so-cute look. Anyway, this is the little-me : 

ITS CUTE IKR HAHAHAH kidding x)) I then grew up with the same 'huge' appetite and it makes me almost have an obesity when I was in elementary school. But few years later, precisely when I entered the junior high school, I started changing my lifestyle (some people call it a diet, but I think it's all about a new healthy lifestyle ^^), from eating healthy food, doing a lot of exercise, drinking water a lot, etc. The result is : 

Yeayy!! I'm still on the process of losing my weight now. I still have around 4/5 kgs to lose. Hope this process won't be longer anymore heheh xp.  

About my family, I have a father named Akira Ranteallo Kongguasa, a mother named Indah Karnain Cindrajaya, a sister named Aikoshenna Kongguasa, and a brother named Kennijiro Kongguasa. I have a wide range of age with my sis and my bro. My bro is 6 years older than me, while my sister is 9 years older. But actually, age doesn't matter, since apparently we are so unified! My dad and my mom are also 'connected' with us. They aren't old-fashioned; on the contrary, they understand the teenager's thingies. 

 

 [me.dad.sis.mom.bro]

They're gorgeous, right? :p We have varied characters, we argue a lot, but we always make up

and understand each other in the end. They are always there whenever I need them. I'm so blessed to have a family like them! 

Moving on to my study.. I'm a high-school student, a freshman. Actually, I'm planning to study abroad to USA (first choice), UK (second), or Australia (least-wanted one) by scholarship. In summary, I'm really looking forward to studying and living in an English-based country. That's why I like English so much and feel really ambitious to learn it deeper and deeper. By making this blog and writing things in English as many as I can, I hope my English skill can be more advanced. Just tell me if I do mistakes, such as grammar errors, vocabulary errors, and other errors :) [please convey it with a proper and respectful manner and language :D]. Your criticism, and also your prayer, mean a lot to me ^^ especially to my effort in getting the scholarship :D

Please enjoy this blog! I'll try to post something once/twice a week if i'm not too busy with school. So, I'm sorry if I sometimes can't post anything at all in a week/2 weeks :(. Also, pardon me if I write offensive / boring things, since I'm still a newbie in this writing and blog world x) 

That's all from me! Enjoy your day, fellas! :3
