Life Coach: The Biggest Room

Question.

What's the biggest room there is?
Answer.

Room for Improvement.



The biggest room in the world is the room for improvement.

I must've been living under a rock because until recently, I had never heard that phrase.

But it's something that's been on my mind a lot lately.

You see, I hate this class. To me, it's a ridiculous class. I've done it before, I know how to do what they're trying to teach me and yet there I am, 8.30am on a Friday morning, half-awake only to hear the shrill nonsensical laughter of what can only be described as a fake, irritating and annoying tutor. 

I hate it so much, I wish I could communicate to the tutor's face how much I hate it. 

It's not that I didn't know that we always have room for improvement, but it just didn't click. 

I may know how to communicate better than most, but there truly is always room for improvement. 


So since I can't change the class, I'll change my attitude towards it. Seeking knowledge is all about bettering yourself and if you don't bring a positive attitude of optimism to a class or a situation, you'll never learn anything from it and it would've just been a waste of time that you'll never get back. It's high time we may every use of the opportunities given to us in life, especially the bad ones.

The tutor and the class are still a joke to me but if I can approach 8.30am on Friday morning with a more open mindset, I might be able to score more than a big fat ZERO for my class participation marks and improve myself even further.

So always think about it lovelies. You might be the most fantastic awesome person at something...

... but there will always be room for improvement.

Peace lovelies. Til the next post!

The Daily Fat: Gym on a Monday?

I always say, don't start on a Monday.

Mondays are just more depressing than other days.

Apparently more people commit suicide on Mondays than any other days.

It's the first day of the week, our awesome weekends end when it's Monday. Boo.

So I usually say, don't start on a Monday.

After a good long month of fasting (and an awesome surprise when stepping on the scale!), I decided it was (almost) immediately back to the gym.

I was talking to my mom about it the other day and she put it really simply for me: If you don't go, then you'll just keep making excuses for not going. It's not about going tomorrow, it's about going.

I almost didn't go because I was so tired burning the midnight oil completing a massive assignment that was due earlier today.

E X C U S E.

That's what I told myself. So I packed my gym bag, took a power nap and I went out the door on the way to the gym.

In truth, I haven't been to the gym since like April. And I was pleasantly surprised at my stamina. My first time in the Jurong Point Amore Fitness outlet today. I like it a lot, and I really like that it's all females and even the PTs are female. In Tampines 1, the PTs were mostly male and they were very intimidating.

I hope to be back at it tomorrow. Probably going to do some weight training instead of just cardio.


WORKOUT

Cardio (Elliptical/Crosstrainer), 20 mins interval cardio (1 min moderate pace at resistance level 3, 2 mins intense cardio at resistance level 5), -165 calories.

Alright peace lovies. Fingers crossed I'm back with another workout update tomorrow!

Til the next post!
