no training yesterday...

My gym session was canceled yesterday because the management "did not allow training for PT clients, only new clients".

Hmmm...

Nanti melayang kena tiup angin

Hehe...

That was what my best friend in JB told me.

We were trying out jeans and stuff in Dorothy Perkins in JB. I asked her if the size 10 jeans looked good on me.

She said, well... it is smaller than the size 18 that she had.

I somewhat being drama and whiney said:

'Gosh Kak! I don't know whether to buy or not... or wait until I am a size6?'

My friend looked at me in disbelief and said :

'Nok! melayang kena tiup angin tau. Nanti aku jalan sebelah rangka!'

That was hilarious, in a way. My relatives were saying the same thing. My weight loss is an issue because they have never seen me this small before in my adult life.

But hey, I aim to be this small. I guess they will just have to bear with me.

Yelah kan.. they wurrrve me... so they wouldn't wurve me lesser albeit me being lesser in fat and calorie count.

Muaks! Wurve you!!!

I feel good..! tralalalalala....

On Monday, I went to my session in the afternoon. I missed to sessions last week. Once because I was feverish and another for Eid.

So, on Monday, Mr. Trainer sorta doubled my session within one hour. Crazy.

I managed to lift overhead 30lbs bar bell and do squat 20 times. 3 sets. Within the sets, I also hold on the bloody heavier bar bell (Mr Trainer is crazy); which he added 10lbs on each side for the 2nd and 3rd set. Holding it, I did forward bend and straighten myself up while squeezing the butt. Do it right, you should feel the muscle work on both legs AND butt.

Others, 10 minutes on Cardo WAVE machine with resistance setting at 10. Squatting.
Some abs works. And of course the triceps and biceps moves.
More squatting. Step-squat.

Looking forward to tomorrow's session. Also in the afternoon.

The Progress

I have been neglecting this blog for quite some time.... It's not because I don't work out anymore. Let me tell you I work my butt off every other day at the gym.

After two months of hardwork, a little slower during the fasting month, I have only lost a little weight. BUT. BUT. I have lost inches and inches AND inches!

I have decided not to monitor my progress by weighing myself. It does nothing to motivate me.

So, I monitor my progress by the loosening pants and flatter tummy. I monitor my progress by looking how my T-shirts are looking better and better on me. I also monitor my progress by... urmm... standing in my birthday suit in front of the mirror. I LOOK GOOD DARLINGS!!

My arms are more toned now. Less jiggly puff! Yeay!! And my butt... ahhh... it's getting tighter and tighter each day. Loving it! No more wiggly and bouncy like jell-o. And my pants look so much better.

I look so much better than when I first dragged Sarc into True Fitness. And I'm loving it!!

I am a food creature. I love good food. I love to eat. Therefore, it's very hard for me to control what I'm eating. I do cut down on rice as much as I can. Which means, I have to work extra hard during my session. These days, to warm out, I will run at least 25 minutes at at least 7.5 km/h. Some would say I jog, but as long as I burned almost 300 calories and ran more than 3km... I feel lighter each time.

I still have to work harder on my stomach muscle and my left arm. Both are still weak. And I hate feeling weak. There's this un-fulfill feeling each time I'm working the abs and the left arm. I need to get them stronger. I still have a month with the trainer, plus the complimentary sessions (six of them!!). And I intend to fit into size six sexily by then.

On the 4th day of Eid...

It's the 4th day of Eid and I just got back from the gym! I am impressed with myself.
I was happy that people actually noticed I'm slimmer. And I am even happier to notice that I've lost inches; which means I fit into that A-line skirt that I asked my aunt to make for me, much better. Although now, it keeps on riding up, because it doesn't have any place to sorta hook itself to. Ha ha ha...

I planned to only do cardio today. So I ran for 2km, in 15 minutes (a better time for me so far) and then I did the stepper machine for 5 minutes. I got bored and thought that it was far from enough. So, I did weigh for another half an hour. And now, I'm beat. Ha ha ha... In a good way though.

I don't want to weigh myself. Because I see little difference. And, small changes in the numbers, demotivate me. So, I rather not. All I know, I feel healthier and fresher now. So, that's a difference, that's what keep me going.

During Eid, I eat every day, every meal time. BUT, I was able to limit myself and stop before I become too full. That is an accomplishment for someone who likes rendang and sambal kacang very, very much. I'm hot during Eid. Now, I'm going for sizzling hot on my wedding day.

When you see results, that's when you are at your proudest

I have been working out for about 3 months now. I started sometime in June and now, in August, after hours of sweat and agony and muscle pulls, I am getting results.

My thighs are firmer, my biceps and triceps, harder, and my energy level is better than ever. I can brisk walk for about 7 KMs now in about 1 hour, which is amazing. Although I am having difficulties trying to jog because my feet could not take the impact.

And what's amazing is that I can even see results on my abs. I am so happy... and I am so proud of myself. :)

See, there's no slimming product or services that could work better than working out. I think I would rather spend 2 grand on a trainer and 100+ a month on gym than eating all those slimming products.

I just finished a one and a half hour session of pure body weight and resistance training. I feel better than ever.

The Drama in my head

Hmmm... I am hungry... and it is lunch time.

Banana Chocolate pie... it's frikkin' banana chocolate pie...

Oh... the joy of tasting the beautiful chocolatey taste of the pie... Just a slice... no... a bite would spring me up to never neverland.

It does have thousands of calories that would cost me my whole week of workout.

oh... but it IS banana chocolate pie... it will go so well with my fabulous low fat Cappucchino I ordered.

I know counting calories is no way to live, but unless I want to look like Roseanne Barr by the time I hit 40, it is something that I can't really compromise on.

So... not wanting to look like Roseanne Barr trumps that gorgeous, delicious, SINful Banana Chocolate Pie!!!!!

AAAARRGGHHHH!!!
