Berlari-larian

After admiting to myself that I have indeed gained weight, have made the effort to draaagggggg myself to the gym. So for the past three weeks, treadmill had been my new best friend. Trying to go at least four times a week, 30 mins per session. Lari plus jalan and kayuh basikal sikit..so far so good, still dalam mood rajin. Hari ni lari lama sikit, 40 mins..fuh!! Bangga jap...(oklah, ada selit jalan sikit, letih wei). well, for me, that is great achievement, considering I am such a couch potato at times. And yesterday, the treadmills at the gym had some updated software, so now can watch tv or music videos!! Yeay!!! Today was extra excited to go and try the new software, and song selection is good, maybe that is why today I ran longer..some songs can definitely make you run, like stronger by kelly clarkson, that fire song by adele and hhmmm...malu nak cakap..and one direction song!!( I blame my daughter for this hahaha!!). Thought of running at the park but then, makin gelap pulak nanti..heheh..never mind, gym first..thiking of entering a race, no, not marathon or even half marathon, maybe a fun run or 5K..In syaa Allah. Since my son is in a running club, we can run together. Speaking of together, last week, my husband was telling me to wait for him so that we could walk togeder-geder. My daughter yang first time dengar that word, found it to be funny and fascinating so now that is her new favourite word! Ok, back to my exercise and gaining weight, was trying on some clothes because next week have an event at a friend's house and we can't wear jeans. So tried on some slacks...arghh!!!! Tak muat!!! My perut so buncit now!!! Wwaaaaaaa!!!!!! This one particular pants used to be so loose, I had to cerut the tali..yeah! The operative word here is USED!!!! Hhmmm... i know it is the lack of exercise but can I blame it on aging as well? Metabolism rate decreases as you age right? Anyway, after feeling so frustated coz seluar tak muat, went to the kitchen and found the kids eating tiramisu and cheesecake, ishh..sedap la pulak..had a few spoonfuls (small spoon, I have to say) while the image of me in that pants still lingering. Oh well, kelly clarkson can help me burn off those calories..:)) (hopefully!!!).

Winter is finally gone...:)))))

After having two weeks of winter-like weather in spring, finally the real spring weather is here and I do hope it is here to stay. In fact, for the past three days, it was above normal, dah macam summer la pulak...no complains there, as long as I don't have to deal with sub zero temperature and punishing winds, I am a happy woman. But spring/ summer come with a new set of problems i.e no more can I hide my bulges sana sini with winter jackets! And no more excuses to hibernate at home, to be in front of the tv munching away food, with the reason to warm myself up!! So kena la exercise..argh!!!! Kalau nak lari-lari kat park, kena pegi awal coz the sun is so blazing cruel! The ray or whatever it is called is so menghitamkan kulit, for me lah! I know Malaysia panas but takdela my kulit jadi hangus tapi over here, it does. But then , come to think of it, kat Malaysia, naik kereta turun kereta, kat sini, I walk almost everywhere so maybe that is the case kut..hahaha...while writing this, it all makes sense to me. So, should I wear hat or bring an umbrella? Mesti la mat2 saleh kata I pelik, orang nak sun, kita nak lari from it..jadi macam makcik korea or jepun la macam ni..hahahaha..oklah, umbrella no, but hat yes! And lots of sunscreen. Anyway, back to exercising, so instead of running at the park, I started to go to the gym, yes, bangunan ada gym but boleh kira dengan jari how many times I have been there. Oh and also, I have started juicing..kale juice to be exact. Had it with different types of fruits, the taste is not that bad and I read it is good for the process of detoxifying the body. Plus the OCM that I have mentioned before, one would think I am heading in the right direction with this healthy living thing but then, once in while I do "need" that doughnut or cupcake.. Life is too short to be fussy...
