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
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…
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
KY: the damn expensive one right? it’s not accurate anyway
Dabs: thanks mate

U can do it, girl! I’ve lost 16lbs after a month. Slowing down now coz my kid is going to school liao but I dropped a size going to an Old Navy recently. The feeling is fantabulous hehe.
Wait.. you stay at [location]. If you walk to Centre Point it must have been quite far. The ice cream would have melted already.
