Midnight Workout

Well I skipped two days worth of morning workouts, but I ganti-ed today's morn w/out with a mdnight w/out. (hence the title) :-) Just finished. Tomorrows the official "WEIGH IN" but i sneaked in a few throughout the week...heheh...I'm not losing any weight and I think I discovered why! It's coz I eat loads at work. Davinna, Sindhu and I pack food to work daily and have a mini potluck everyday! GREEDY me!!! From now on I shall bring fruits and eat only that! Hope that works out:-)

On a different note, a loved one of mine recently fell asleep in the bathroom and we were shouting at him/her from outside about 20 times(I kid you not) ! We thought  he/she had died. It's at moments like these that you imagine the worst and suddenly u realise just how much they mean to you.. Scary lah! Broke down the bathroom door and found him/her sleeping! Whew! close shave much!

Am gonna be getting my salary next month! Yay! Shopping time:-)))

How on earth did this happen??!??!??!!!

 

Lets backtrack. In Form 2 I was tall and plump. Then my mum bought this electric weighing scale which had a sensitivity of 0.1 kg.  It could measure your body fat and everything! (now I know that reading is  NOT very accurate coz it's an unsuitable way to measure body fat) Then mum made us all weigh ourselves. Marc first. Stuuuuup was skinny and underweight and had body fat of 4% or something. SUUUPER LOW! Then my turn. MALU  freaking GiLER! SOOO heavy and body fat of like what...21 %!  Then I went crazy and went on this super health spree!

I  thought -hey,what better time to go vegetarian than now since I had ALREADY been thinking about it for some time-

Then I took up running thanks to Sam Murphy's book. "Run for life" AWESOME MUCH!!! Took off my "running career" =D

Last but not least I watched what I ate like crazy. I counted calories at every meal and mentally calculated how I could work off every snack I ate. Snack meaning "water biscuits"(biskut tawar I think they're called), "a slice of plain bread, or a banana. I lost 10 kg by Form 3 helping me win the school cross country and it also helped me achieve whatever success I enjoyed in track events:-)

Then in Form 4 The low cal diet began to become too stressful to maintain with the added burden of new subjects in school combined with my laziness to train which continued into form 5 which marked my worst year in athletics. With the stress of SPM I stopped jogging in the evenings altogether since April to either sleep in, attend tuition and towards the end of the year, to study.

That lead to my current situation of tipping the scales at 60++ kgs. From someone who used to be 55kg it feels awful. Trying on clothes I used to be able to wear in form 4 which now can't even be pulled up to my waist. I kid you not.

So I've started logging in my food intake on http://www.sparkteens.com/ which is this GREAT website which is full of articles and applications to help you with either your weight loss goals or goals to become more healthy, toned... whatever...you get the picture. 

So as of today I have sucessfully lost 0.7kg coz I started exercising and eating properly again. No snacking and eating only enough food so that I'm not hungry anymore. (NOT till I'm FULL) I think it's pretty good for 4days....I WILL lose all 10kgs before a wedding I'm going to attend in Singapore in June:-) 

well I'm off to go cycle now... adieus:-)  

Cycling 10-11.9 mph (bicycling, biking, bike riding), 30 minutes, Burnt: 188 calories. (equivalent to TWO BANANAS)

How the break is treating me

OOOO....my inaugural post.

The holidays haven’t been quite what I expected it would be.

During the pre SPM study period I told myself these are the things I would do immediately after SPM

1.     1.  Workout Daily( Lose the fat Cik Sakinah never stops pointing out)J

           2. Get through all my driving lectures and exams and be zooming around by January

3. 3. Take a pertolongan cemas course a the St Johns office near my house

4.   Get a high paying job (at least RM 1000 a month lah)

and..................

5.   Volunteer to teach at a kids shelter near my house.

6. Read my sisters A-Level books...

However, thats not exactly how things transpired. Funny how things work out that way..heheh

what actually happened: 

1. Went to the padang and went WALKING about 4 times in the last 30 days since SPM ended.

2. Only completed the 5 hour ceramah. Though in my defence I was sick and thats why I  had to postpone my undang test to next week:-)

3. Haven't even started on the pertolongan cemas thing yet. Must as soon as I can drive there myself lah ah...

4. Instead of some dream job I'm sitting in a classroom of weepy kids who get me SICK intead of a fat salary!!!

5. Haven't asked the shelter owner yet. Keeps slipping my mind...

6. The furthest I got reading the edexel Biology textbook was the third page into chapter 1. Hopeless lah! NCIS and CRIMINAL MINDS and THE BIG BANG THEORY, and HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER keeps me glued to the television and computer screen. 

My dad said yesterday, "eyh, you're still watching tv since lunch till dinner." I was like "No lah...I stopped earlier. I just only turned the tv on again." We both knew that wasn't true. My break was to fix myself a snack during which time the TV was muted to prevent anyone from taking the control which is what would've happened if I turned off the tv. heheh...

Well I'm determined not to let the rest of my break before college go to waste. So tomorrow though I'm still gonna be stuck with the crummy job, I shall take myself to task by finishing chapter 1!:-)

Wish me luck. Gonna need it much!

:-)
