Exercise Diary
50 minutes of Step Workout (Medium Aerobic Exercise/Step Aerobic Low Impact) ~511 - 550kcal burned!
How I feel today
I feel pretty good about everything today. The step workout was intense! Damn all these experts who go to a beginner class! Anyway, I had initially planned to attend the Cardio Latino class directly after Step Workout but I couldn't take it. Retrospectively, I feel like I could have done it but I'm glad I didn't overwork myself today. I want to burn calories everyday but not at the expense of overworking myself.
The plan tomorrow is to go to another Step Workout class and then maybe do some treadmill work, by which I mean, walk on the treadmill for 20 to 30mins at an incline. So sads. I could probably burn more calories if I ran but I really detest running.
Overall. I feel pretty good about today.
Peace lovies!
Til the next post!

Horrible Day Mode
Filed under:
Weight Loss Diary
I had a horrible day today. I tried to make sure that I wouldn't let my stupid actions in the morning upset my day.
TBH, my actions weren't stupid. They were honest and optimistic. What did I do?
I stepped onto the weighing scale.
I hardly weigh myself. Even the decision to weigh myself was spontaneous. I woke up and thought to myself "I should know how much I weigh now".
Not that weighing yourself is a bad thing. It's a good thing.
Well, it's a good thing if you're seeing the numbers decrease!
The last time I weighed myself was over A YEAR AGO. I guess the gain isn't bad for one year's weight gain, but to see those numbers. More specifically to see that number approach a certain rounded off number just gave me a bad case of "horrible day mode".
So I had a crap day.
On top of that I had to spend the entire day doing something I had absolutely NO intention of doing. Volunteered by my parents. Lovely.
On top of ALL THAT, I hear from S that since she's done her diets (starting 2 months ago) she's lost 3kg and 4 inches off her waist! I am so happy for her, truly I am. But I think we can all imagine the incredible guilt trip and disappointment that I am feeling right now.
Ok. Let's stop being negative and try to look on the brighter side of things.
I have another 4 weeks of holidays left to utilize and make the most of! I should work myself to the bone this month considering that I will be busy once work starts up again.
I haven't made any sacrifices. No input = no output. Maybe I should type that up and put it somewhere that I will see it everyday. No input = no output.
I haven't tried giving up on the things that I love! S almost gave up all the sweeties and goodies in life completely! Maybe I should start with something!!! I shouldn't be allowed to eat rubbish sweets and get away with it!
Alright, so, lessons of the day:
No input = no output!
I need to make some sacrifices in order to achieve what I want.
I want to lose weight and inches!
I am going to make sure that every day from now will be a great day and that I won't be upset when I step on the scale again! I will take it with a pinch of reality and reflect on how much input I've put in to everything!
I will also have to start a record of my weight and measurements so that I can track how much I've lost!
Hopefully you'll be hearing great news from me in 4 weeks time!
Peace lovies.

Fashion: Lukewarm...
Is it just me or does Drew Barrymore look a lot skinnier in this photo?
Is it the angle of her pose?
Her chin looks suspiciously angular.
Has it always been that way?
Is the the gorgeous satin-looking tapered pants?
Hm. Dunno.
But that sparkly top is sheer.
Doesn't really look it cause her skin tone acts as a nice underneath layer.
I think she could've done a nude pump in the same fabric.
The belt could've had a bigger gold buckle.
And the earrings could be better.
Fashion: LOVE this!
Um..
What's not to love?
Nude heels.
Awesome black dress.
Lace bust that looks like her bra is showing.
Simple & gorgeous accessories.
Clean, neat hairstyle.
Thumbs up to Blake Lively's stylist!
(What?! You didn't think she put this together by herself completely?!)
Stretchy Stretch
Filed under:
Gym,
Weight Loss Diary
I think I have GYM ANXIETY. I don't even know if it can be classified as anxiety but I can tell you that there is a part of me that seriously does NOT want to go to the gym.
I know, I know. Sounds like an incredibly convenient excuse NOT to go to the gym.
But every time I plan to go to the gym, it's like something in me comes up with tons of reasons not to go. Then my heart starts beating faster and faster at the mere thought of going to the gym.
I keep telling myself that as soon as I make going to the gym a h a b i t , maybe my "anxiety" will go away.
And it usually happens, that after I go, I feel rejuvenated from the workout and I forget about the "anxiety" I had earlier.
I need to delve further into this weird issue of mine. (Like I don't have enough problems!)
Anyway, today I went for StretchFit (SF). Which is basically a stretching exercise class filled with yoga type moves but a little easier (or so I think). I planned to go to Kickboxing after but my knees and arms were a little shaky. The workout didn't leave me KO'd, but I figured it's probably better to take it a little easy in the beginning. Right?
So after SF, I did 25minutes of power walking on an incline on the treadmill.
Lesson of the day: I need to bring my headphones EVERY time I head to the gym in case I just want to walk on the treadmill. Seriously. The only entertainment I had was texting while exercising and when that died off, it was some strange Chinese period drama about six teachers, a demoness and a dude, who seems important, who is in love with the alleged demoness. Yea - WHAT?
K that's it for today lovelies! I think tomorrow I will go for SF again and then do some gym exercises - exercise bike and treadmill sound good to me right now :D
If only I could play Plants vs Zombies while exercising. Maybe I should get a good audiobook?
HMM.
Peace lovies!
