Sales!

Ok, what has sales got to do with losing weight? Well, in this case it has plenty connection :D

So, I've been thinking about getting a new pair of sport shoes for some time. Nothing wrong with my Reebok WlkrRner just want to switch shoes every now and then. But the shoes I want are either out of my price range or sold out in my size. Just my luck eh?

I also quite like gadgets, always have been. Yes, I am a bit geeky that way. I've already got a blackberry, a secondary phone that can access the internet, and this year I finally got a netbook -red hp, 10' screen, very cool- installed wifi and wayhey... I'm in gadget heaven. But my inner geek says I'm missing another essential gadget for daily living. The thing is, I have this obsession for having red gadgets and this particulare gadget do come in red but only available only and rather pricey. Again, not urgent so wait for sales.

Now, the star of sales must have aligned yesterday for both of the were on sale at the same time! Oh my oh my. Can you imagine? Delirious would be apt ;)

The shoes ended up 60% off. Still slightly pricey but much better than paying 100%. My other gadget wasn't discounted quite as much but enough to make me break out from my red habit and get it. Hehe. You see, this particular gadget is rarely on sale and even if it does, I'm still a bit wary about getting goods via mail. Not the purchasing bit, but the worry whether my purchase would make it safely to my house.

Thus today I proudly wear my new shoes to the gym. Hopefully this will inspire me to go more often :)

Love,
Sas

The First 3 Months

No, I am not pregnant. I did not say trimester, I say 3 months.

So, i've been falling off the exercise/workout wagon so many times I've lost count. But, I finally realise that unless you really want it then it will not happen. You just have to want to make that change. So what if you fell? What's important is that you go back up and start again! We're not perfect, we're bound to have off days but as long as you don't let the off days linger and get right back then you should be just fine. I think it was reading Bob Greene's article that liberates me. Instead of berating myself, just think, ok maybe I miss/skip/didn't feel like going to the gym today but tomorrow I just have to clear an hour in my day to go there.

and that is exactly what I did.

I just keep coming back to the gym. Some days I forced myself to go. It paid off. Now my body ask for a workout if I've missed it. I can feel my body is aching to go back to get some cardio and a bit of weight thrown in. I can feel myself getting stronger and I like it. I've lost a bit of weight on the upper part of my body, I've actually gone down a size but alas the lower part is still refusing to budge. The lower part is in between sizes. the current one is getting loose but the one under is still a bit tight.

I need to work on my food now. I need to change my eating habit. It is still a bit bad. Need to reduce this and add more of that. Ok, so that's what's been happening. Let's see the progress I make from here on...

Eek! It's 2010

Yikes! When I forgot I really do forgot. No kidding it's the end of March and I just realised I haven't written in here for ages. Probably that's why I haven't lost any weight at all eh ;)

Hehe.. Well, let restart again and hopes I will drop a size or two by the end of this year :D

Love,
Me
