Don't Cheat!

Well, people! I am back from my wedding vacation, and may I confidently say that I looked good in my wedding get-ups! However, festive vacations normally will destroy your diet plans and obviously your exercise regimes! I did not work out for almost six weeks and it showed!

As soon as I was able to get back to the gym, I renewed my personal training sessions. This time I bought 25 sessions which also include kick-boxing sessions. I don't have regrets eventhough my whole body is sore every time. Kick boxing really proves a total body workout!

I still have 4 free sessions from the last package and 6 more additional sessions for this time around. I am going to make the most out of these sessions!

Let me share with you a little insight.

NEVER CHEAT YOUR BODY!

This is a rule that I made up for myself. When I say not to cheat, it is not related to eating. If you tell yourself that you are going to run for 10 minutes non-stop, do it. Never run more than 10 minutes, and never run less than 10 minutes. Treat your body and your mind like children. Don't cheat or lie, because if you do more than what you first planned, you will not achieve your target.

So what I do is, when I get tired or bored or lazy on the treadmill, I tell myself that I'm going to complete the 10 minute set and rest for 30 seconds to one minute. After the rest period, I will start running again. The moment I start to feel lazy, I again tell myself that I will complete another set. By doing this, I keep on moving, and did not realise the distance and timing.

These days I try to make sure I run at least 2 kms everytime, but mostly I will be doing 3kms. I try not to look at the time so much, because I will start thinking that I've worked enough when in fact, I don't burn much calories yet!

This time around, I have decided to slot in gym time every day during the weekdays and alternate with the personal training. I shall keep you posted!
