In the last week of November 2007, we (we being the people of my project in the office) went a trip to the Cinnamon Lodge, Habarana. It was a great trip. We had so much fun. Now.. you must be wondering what’s the relationship between my trip and green tea!! Hold on.. let me tell you slowly…cz this trip was my pathway to find the wonders of green tea. Me.. with 2 of my friends.. we cycled our way around a lake for 2 hours. I always loved cycling. But being a puffy pig.. I ended up with aching ribs and torturing legs. Actually.. my whole body was aching. No wonder there of cause!! We sit in front of computers almost 12 hours a day, without any exercise and gobbling up junk food. And when we start some exercise all of a sudden, this happens.That’s the time I started to wonder why I’m turning in to a shapeless barrel. After a few days, the aching was over, and I started exercising. I was skeleton thin some years back.. and I loved it. So sad to remember those good days… Anyways.. then I heard about green tea.. a good medicine for all you want-to-be-slim girls. Yes… good news, isn’t it? It sure reduces weight! I feel that I’m loosing weight in a good speed. Believe me…! It really REALLY works! Now.. I only gave you girls the best thing about green tea. I went through an interesting PowerPoint presentation today, which listed the benefits of green tea. So.. have a look people.. Here you go!

hmm, well I have heard it b4, but never gave a try. Now look,,, I'm sitting in front of the computer almost 14-18 hours daily for about 5 years. But I have no prob with dat. I have a good figure (lol) and better capability of stretching than most. Its just the pose you r in. Trust me.... the way you sit or sleep + good foods can make a big different. What is the point of eating a lot and drinking green tea? Woof, dat makes me laugh.
