To prep for the run in July, I started to test my lame stamina by training more than usual.

Things was going fine for a while, and then my period came.

This time, the pain was a bit too much even for me to take. I was weak, my back was killing me and my tummy felt hollow, together with migraine. And of all times, I also got ulcers in my mouth. I felt tired all the time.

My moodswings... murderous.

Strangely, my hair looked fab.

I missed training for about 4 days now. I don't know if I am able to train on the weekends. If the pain subside, then maybe I would just be in the gym. If not, I am afraid I will have to reset my training plans.

I am however, loving the way my arms have turned out as a result of intensive upper body workouts. It's my favorite workout, biceps, triceps, lat and shoulders. My shoulders look gorgeous and my collarbone fabulous!

I still have friends who thinks working out is a waste of time. They kept on telling me that it is way easier for people to just go to all those weight management clinics to lose weight.

What they don't understand is that losing weight is not my only priority. I want to be toned, healthy, fit with a reasonable looking feminine muscles to show off.

My idea of an awesome body?

Now these are awesome bodies. Stick thin models don't rule my world.

Test run (Literally)

My last run was a charity marathon for an event that I forgot in JB.

This was about 5 years ago. It was a 7 KM run and at that time, I was actually kind of forced to go because the company I worked for sponsored some of the prizes. It also served as a division activity that our Boss enrolled us for.

I didn't care if I get there first or last. I was huffing and puffing, and cursing! All the way! All that mattered to me was to get to the finishing line so I can just STOP running.

Of course back then, fitness was the last thing on my mind. I was preoccupied with a sucky boyfriend and relationship. I was the last thing in my mind, which is kind of pathetic, come to think of it.

So because I am now a brand new person with new priorities which has nothing to do with men, relationships, sex or whatever crap that I was so stupidly obsessed with, I decided to join this :

This means that I have to prep for the run. I have to up my workout and get ready in 2 months. I have to improve on my cardio and strength training. I want to take it seriously this time, and as much as I think it would be fun having a running mate, I would like to try to at least be less playful.

And no cussing while running! I figure if I can make a 1.5 KM in 10 minutes on the treadmill, it wouldn't be a problem for me to finish a 5 KM run.

Plus... I know it will be a whole load of fun. I asked around in my FB if there's anyone interested to join.

This would also mean I would have to go to Jalan Hang Jebat tomorrow to register. And no... I don't know where that is.

I don't know how many people read this blog... this is the info on the run :

Or go to www.shape.com.my for more details.

Oh by the way, there are RM 300 worth of stuff in the goodie bag that you stand to get when you sign up. :)... I am sure any woman wouldn't say no to heaps of free stuff!!!! Take it as a motivation to join. Hahahahaha!

Yes, I am going!

Yes! I am going to the gym today.


It looks like my buddy Sarcy is like a speedy bullet train when it comes to gymming! And I am like a choo-choo. Hinsh! And being married has nothing to do with it. Just because work takes me far away from the gym vicinity.


So, since I am in the office today, I cannot let the chance pass me by. I am committed for an hour of cardio and weigh training.


I did not call Mr. Trainer this morning to arrange for a session. Because I am almost sure he will not be available. It seems like he's not excited to train me anymore. Everytime I call for a session, he has his hours booked. Hmm... Time to change Mr. Trainer? I think he's just given up hope on me. And I still have about 20 sessions with him!


So, see your sweats later!


p/s: I own a new pair of sports shoes; lighter and more comfortable

:P

I think... and I think....

I kind of overdid the weights yesterday.

My biceps are sore and I am currently wearing the medicinal muscle plaster.

That's why I decided to take a day off  today. I think there is a possibility I might just lose my footing on the treadmill during my usual 2 minutes sprint.

Sprint... heh... that's a joke. Hopefully by this time next year, I will be able to join a marathon challenge of more than 5 kilos.

Hey... I am working towards that goal kan.

Fitness plan

I have always hated how I would feel so tired by the end of my day (My day is everyone else's night) that I wouldn't have the strength and energy to work out.

With a reason too. I love working out. I hate missing one day of gym. (The other thing would be because I don't believe in paying for something without using it).

So I planned to buy some food stuff to put in the office.

Things like bread, cheese, cold cuts, oatmeal, cereal low fat milk, soy. Energy boosters I can prepare before I leave the office and head on to the gym.

I don't want to take breakfast outside because breakfast outside always got me more tired and lazy.

Yesterday I worked with only a can of Iced lemon tea as sustenance. I didn't even realize it until the end of the day.

Not good. I need to eat to workout. Rule of thumb numero uno.

On the road to a bikini ready bod... ;)

My 


Bum 


Hurts... 

Ugh!

I hate it when my monthly 'flag' comes.

I feel slobbish, I feel heavy, I feel tired and I feel bitchy! I had to drag myself to go and do my stuff and I can't exercise...

That's the worst thing. I thought exercise is supposed to make me feel better.

*Crying.. sob sob...*

Ugh!
