me wants to be a lean machine: day 7

It’s been one week since I decided to make a change about my body image. It’s been 5 days since I’m on the Atkins. So far, so good. Still standing, not woozy.

Yesterday I had wanted to go for a jog after work but it started drizzling for a bit. Felt damn sien, ‘cos I really wanted to see how my body could take it.

When I was in high school, I used to run long-distance for my house team. Not very long also lah, but I can’t really remember the exact distance now (it’s been more than 10 years). After that I gained a lot of weight, and did not walk much until 2 years ago. Twenty minutes a day for 3 or 4 months saw me losing a significant amount of weight.

Then I got a car, and the rest is history.

Anyway, I wanted to walk. I do walk a lot in shopping malls, but that type of walking could hardly make me break a sweat. Tiring, no doubt but frivolous.

So yesterday after dinner, I put on my long-neglected sports shoes and walked to Centrepoint.

Okay okay, it’s not really that far from my place, but it’s a start. I sweated a little, I felt good.

Also bought Baskin Robbins home. Haha not for me lah. In the words of someone slightly more (in)famous, tak teringin pun :P

But yesterday was also the damnest day EVAR. S-kay blogged about cupcakes, and there was link left by one of her readers to a cupcake baker in Singapore, Cupcake Momma. I went through her Flickr collection of cupcakes; almost wanted to buy a ticket to Singapore there and then.

The things we do to ourselves…

    Swimming is good… Trim your body better. Curvy…

     
  9. S-Kay, 20. September 2006, 16:21

    I’m sorry!!!! But hey, its a good test ok…see whether you’re determined enough or not =PppP

    Anyway, when you feel like you’ve lost enough weight right…if you’re joining a gym or something, go for those Body Combat/Fit Ball and etc classes or guna the machine with weights. It helps you tone up.

    Of course, I’d very much prefer swimming but damn…skali shoulder too broad later =P

    Wait.. you stay at [location]. If you walk to Centre Point it must have been quite far. The ice cream would have melted already.

     
  13. a-non-e-mouse, 21. September 2006, 9:29

    A more expensive way would be Kenko Diet Plum to de-tox your intestine.

     
  16. Sharon N, 21. September 2006, 13:13
