Men's Health & Gym

Some updates:
I tried the dragon boat race - which was one of the events in the Men's Health - Are You Men's Health Competition.

That plus learning the muay thai a few weeks back has been great experience.

Anyway, back in Malacca, I've hit the gym quite regularly (every 2 days). Feels good.

But the funny thing, I've put on weight! I guess it's the good Malacca food. Can't believe that in China & KK there's not weight gain... but here, I've put up 1 kg. In fact, I'm surprised as I don't think I'm eating that much.

This is clearly not good for my mission to lose weight :( (now at 86.5kg).

The journey continues... at least I can say the rythm for the gym is there. I hope to keep that up :)

Trips And Men's Health

Good news - the KK & Kuching trip, I didn't put on weight despite the good food! Wow! That is such pleasant surprise!

And now that I'm back, however after 1 week of gym, I'm feeling the exhaustion of work + exercise. Hence, the mix of swim.. but even that gets tiring. Maybe its work.

But I know I can't give up.... especially with this new challenge - now that I'm in the Are You Men's Health Enough!

Honestly, with all the fitness levels I'll be going through, I need to hit the gym more!

I just hope this can be a good motivation... and in a way, keep me in shape! haha :)

1 Kg of CNY Goodies

It's common for me to gain weight during Christmas, Mooncake Festival... and CNY! As hard as I tried, the good food was just so hard to resist... sigh.

So, it's a ding dong yo-yo battle once more! (what a big challenge!)

On the slightly positive side, I'm glad it's not the usual 2 kg I usually add on. But then, even this is bad... bad that now I'm back to 86.5kg.

And now that I'm away once again for a week, I wonder what's next. Hopefully the much walks will help! (though the food is way a distraction!)

Adjusting

From my previous post, it's a bit tiring having to adjust each time I travel back and forth from city to city.

And cos of tiredness from the journey, the gym do take a back seat at times or many times. Really guilty!

It's been bout a week since I last gym, and... I hope to go back tomorrow for a good run

Btw, I wonder what's my weight now - with the CNY over, but surprisingly some saying I've lost weight? (I wonder how). Update tomorrow!

Gym & Swim During CNY

The CNY has made the gym in my hometown to close for the whole week. So there was no gym. And to make matters 'worse', I've been having goodies all week long! (how not to?).

Then once again, the guilt sinks in... so on Sunday, I planned to go to the gym, but the timing was different from what they stated. As I really wanted to go for an exercise, I did the next best thing - a swim.

And swim I did - which made me very tired in the night. I'm not sure if it's because I swam non stop or is it because of the 1.5 week break of non exercise.

Then today I went to the gym (had to go before 5pm, as the gym closes at this odd hour during CNY). The treadmill run felt surprisingly quite ok. And felt good going to the gym.

However, I have a concern... that is the hols, travels and now work (outstation) kinda interrupts the gym sessions and this diet program.

For now, the solution is to not give up and put in as much gym time possible. Let's hope it works :)

Have I Really Lost Weight?

I went to the gym 2 days ago, and I couldn't believe the scale - it showed a kilo down, now to 85.3kg!

Honestly, I knew I've been eating a lil less prior, but to lose 1 kg within a week was a bit unbelievable.

But then, even friends are saying I've lost weight which is good.

However, the past 2 days of stress made me really eat a lot - the sudden hunger. I just hope it doesn't spoil the celebrations!

It's A Swim

Today is a Sunday and I couldn't bring myself to the gym. But I know that I have to build up the momentum again.

So, I did the next best thing - going for a swim.

I've always liked swimming and it makes me feel recharged.

And though, I know that swimming don't really burn as much fat as running the treadmill, but still, it keeps me fit :)
