I’ve been wanting to cut down weight desperately since I don’t even know when. no special reason… just to look better, feel better and of course to have better confidence in myself. mum had been nagging at my ridiculous weight that I had put own. and you know how much I hate being nagged. sometimes I just walked off and lock myself in my room just to avoid hearing her nagging at me.
I would say this horizontal expansion of me is partly my own fault (for not looking after my daily diet). yes, only partly ok and it’s definitely not a lame excuse! work had eaten up a large part of my life since last November. I was temporarily transferred to Singapore to handle a new project with dateline of end January then suddenly thrown into another project with just 1 month production time coz the dateline was mid March (not forgetting CNY was during February too). alrite, I kinda slacked off the remaining 2 weeks of March bcoz there was an even bigger wave on the way. the TIF AME project. yeah, the project that needed me to travel to 9 countries within 2 months. even recalling and typing out what have I done since November is already tiring and how can you expect me to work out during that phase right? absolutely no way…
now, I’m back and settled down after the Shanghai trip. I took a step out of my comfort zone and took the initiative to do whatever it takes to live healthily. first of all, I need a detox from all the rubbish I had swallowed into my body. I was kinda reluctant to try any of the detox tea again due to my previous horrible experience (it tasted really very bad). so all I did was just 3 days of no solid food, only pure water and my collagen drink. maybe it wasn’t a thorough detox but at least it cleaned up the pathway :D
then follow by careful diet meal. I do not want to go to extreme of not having lunch or skipping dinner as everyone knows it’s neither the right nor efficient way to lose weight. so I consulted a few friends who have been through diet planning with their personal trainer to get tips. I started to try and experiment different type of recipes like steam salmon with vege, smoked turkey breast roll, tuna salad, egg with nuts salad, buckwheat soba with miso soup (this is the only recipe that I fail, the soba boil until too soft). till now I am still consistently following on my diet meal with one or two day off from the regime to enjoy life with friends but still taking consideration of the calories.
what else to complete the whole cutting down weight package? of course the much needed exercise. I am now back to the gym again. not the same old basic gym but I had signed up with Chi Fitness. so far so good. it’s new and the facilities are great with lap pool, sauna and rain shower too. best of all, this gym is really something different from others that I had tried. it’s a resort concept gym. you know, resort… relax… chi… love it. I had 3 sessions last week and also one round of nature jogging with dear Jen. and yet I am still looking forward to tomorrow session. talk about good kick off momentum hehe... maybe I’m just too worried that I want to buck up my stamina before the personal trainer call for the fitness test hehe…
I seriously hope that the momentum will keep going. simply bcoz it’s not a cheap package to lose weight!!! At least for me…. gym fee, weekly grocery shopping for salmon, smoked turkey breast, buckwheat soba, energy bar so on so forth really cost me a hole in my pocket… but for a better me, a healthier me, this investment is necessary…
hhmmm… maybe I should try to sleep early, wake up early as a healthy lifestyle start too… nite nite…
