Fitness Enthusiast 2.0

So I’ve actually done something physical about my fitness. Just purely for the reasons that after stepping on airport scales and seeing that I weigh like 79.5kgs, it was a likely wake up call that shrieked, “HELLO, I’M FAT!!!”

[secretly, on the down low, I’d like to think that I’ve packed on muscle and that I’m rippling in 79.5kgs of muscular goodness but…no. The belly denies this. *jiggles fat*]

So I’ve worked out yesterday and today and unfortunately, this blog is going to start taking the brunt of my sudden fitness craze. You’ll be getting food updates, exercise routines and probably body fat measurements. Meh, I know. Not exactly the most interesting reading, right?

So lets begin…

Breakfast: McDonalds Big Breakfast with Coffee and a Sausage & Egg McMuffin
(dear lord, that actually looks really bad, doesn’t it?)

Lunch: Yong Tau Foo (really healthy stuff…veges, tofu, fishball, and egg and rice…that I could have done without, in hindsight)

Dinner: 2 cups of milk, 1 apple, 1 carrot, 2 eggs and too much peanut butter (probably)

Was hoping to be able to dash across the road for some good ole’ sweet & sour pork with egg rice from my trustworthy store owner but apparently, EVERYTHING’S closed today. And it was early too. So I took it as a light jog on steps on the overhead bridge and walked back. Gulped down 2 cups of milk and then sat down, cooled off, showered and while I surfed Facebook, I munched on an apple supplemented by occasional dabs of peanut butter.

Before anyone else looks at me funny, apple + peanut butter = good combo. Good enough for the sweet and savoury thing but it also means that I’m not adding simple sugars by having it on bread. Sure, supposedly, the body is more receptive towards sugars after a workout so its not too bad but I’d rather err on the side of caution. When I was living on my own, I hardly touched rice (that’s technically….a lie.) but I rarely ate pasta or rice or bread. Think I did pretty well. But I’m probably eating quite a bit of peanut butter which might be overdoing the health benefits of it. Hm.

Okay. Workout detail.

In order of 12-11-10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1

Dumbell swing (10kgs) each hand
Burpees
Skip rope (60 skips)

Repeat until sweat drips like a leaky faucet and breathing is nigh impossible. And then add on the futile run across the overhead bridge and then take the stairs up to flat.

I’m sure my thighs will thank me tomorrow. +)

Colleagues are bugging me to do a half marathon in December and then I’m being tempted with the idea of a full marathon along the GREAT WALL OF FRICKING CHINA. You read that right.

Okies. Sleepy time. Night, y’all.
