减肥周年庆：最重要的是生活态度的改变

2007年5月21日：开始减肥，体重67.5KG(149 lbs)

2008年5月21日：稳定在56KG了 (123 lbs)

开始减肥已经整整一年了，一共减掉了23斤（体重的17%以上）。

这个减肥的速度虽然并不快，目前的体重也并不低，但是重要的是我改变的我的生活态度。我不需要再谈论减肥成功与否，不需要太在意什么时候才能够到达所谓的理想体重，因为真正的理想体重本来就没有一个确定的数字，因为我已经养成了良好的生活习惯，已经不需要再用“坚持”这个词了。健康的习惯已经融入了我的生活，只要正常生活就可以了：） 

 一句话总结：要是知道这么好减，我早就开始减了。 从小就不喜欢运动的我，居然渐渐的喜欢上了运动，运动已经不再是一种负担，而是一种爱好。喜欢运动的人比较容易快乐，这是另一大收获：） 

原来以为减肥要痛苦地忌口，觉得不能吃好吃的东西，就失去了至少一半活着的乐趣。但是自从每天都吃大量的水果蔬菜之后，可乐薯条薯片巧克力对我的吸引力慢慢变弱了。当然，如果几周不吃，我还是会想吃它们；想吃了就吃一点，只要不是连续吃几天，就没关系。 

再就是，我们一贯接受的所谓正常的饮食，其实不一定是正确的饮食。比如“主食”，其实吃菜比吃米饭的量应该大很多；比如说“早点”，可不是随便来点就可以了，记得我过去为了省事以及减肥，早点有时只吃一小杯酸奶或者牛奶，现在觉得那都是自杀式行为；比如说白米白面，显然不如糙米和全麦面粉来得健康；比如说为了减肥晚饭不敢吃主食，什么叫不敢吃主食，是本来就不该吃主食；比如说水果，不是可吃可不吃的，想起来才吃的，是每天都必须要吃的，而且最好一天吃几种不同的水果；比如说菜炒熟了才叫吃菜，其实凉拌甚至有的时候连拌都不用更加的好吃，当然也更健康。

简易烤杏仁

原料：生杏仁200g左右，盐2茶勺(10g)

步骤：
1) 将生杏仁平铺在锡纸盘中。
2) 烤箱预热175度，放入杏仁烤10分钟左右。可以先烤5,6分钟，拿出来翻一翻，再继续烤几分钟。烤到有香味就可以了，注意不要烤糊了。
3) 炒锅中加入2茶勺盐，1大勺水(15ml)，将烤好的杏仁倒入炒锅中搅拌。
4) 加热炒锅，一边加热一边不断搅拌，直到盐水全部干燥，杏仁表面结满盐霜即可。
5) 晾凉后就可以吃了 (注意一定要晾凉后再吃，热的时候杏仁不够酥脆)

-----------------------------
千万不要这样做：
我刚开始打算烤杏仁的时候，想当然的拿盐水把杏仁泡了一晚上，然后再烤泡过的杏仁。
结果，杏仁吸饱了盐水，烤出来倒是够咸，但是怎么烤都香味不足。

Joke of Database Developer

Our company have 3 kinds of developers. Database Devs, MiddleTier Devs and UI Devs.

One day, an UI Dev came to talk with a Database Dev for a new feature. Later, the UI guy went back and told his lead "The DB guy has written ASP page for this feature..."

I overheard their talking, and felt so weird. How come a DB guy write ASP page??

The DB guy also heard their talking, and began to carify it "No, I wrote a SP, Stored Procedure, for this feature...."

About the Millionaire Mind Seminar

I went to the seminar for all the 3 days. 9am - 11pm for Friday, 9am-10pm for Saturday, and 9am-4pm for Sunday.

I think it is a good seminar, I did learned something there. But it is too long and contains too much sale promotion. My back began to pain, and my shoulders were very sore, after the first day, as I sat straightly for a whole long day...

Things I learned from the seminar:
1. The money jars(accounts) system.
This system has been explained in the book in detail, and get strengthened in the seminar. I think it is the most usefully point of the whole book and seminar.
For myself, I think I live a modesty lifestyle, I only need 30% of my income in my Necessary Account (which is recommended to be 55% in the seminar). So I just got a big part of exact money to divide in my other accounts:
FFA: 35%
EDU: 10%
LTSS: 15%
PLAY: 7%
GIVE: 3%

2. Name you top 3 biggest successes.
This shocked me a lot. I always have the idea in my mind that I am smart and talent. But I just cannot pick out my top 3 biggest successes in a short time. I just have the feeling that I have a lot of successes in my life, but them are either difficult to remember or too small to mention...
That's the thinking pattern I need to break. I will start to write a "Success Diary/Blog", to write down even the smallest success in my every day life.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

BTW, the $100 bill and cheques are used in the seminar. Don't worry, you won't need to give them to someone else.

I also got shocked by the truth that I could be moved to tears by a song....The Living Years.
Just heard this song in the seminar, and sang it together with all attendees...
