The One with....Gym

"What were you thinking? Spending your money for those machines? You can be as healthy as a cow without going to the gym....go jogging....walking....cleaning up the entire pig sty if you have to! Gym? Owh...Come on"

You know what...i wish i can start screaming at these people's face and said, "Forgodsake....I go for the sake of meeting HOT trainer...duhhh!"..Although, it was not entirely true. There are some other logical reasons for it. And buckle your seat belt people because all of you will have to listen to me rambling about these reasons in a second...

(1) Motivation-Life is kinna tough lately and somehow i thought i lost my direction. So, i told myself to focus on something i can see and hold, in a matter of months. So, gym came to me in an instant. How? Well, you see...i often go for things with numbers, whether in dollars sign or kgs. So, one morning, i woke up and decided to take my 'smart pill' and after a few shortttt session with my trusted calculator, i said, "What the heck!!..Go for it" I need to see some changes in me so i can build the confidence in doing something else. I just need to see it...to believe that i can do other stuffs as well. It is a booster...a confidence booster. I just need it. Imagine seeing the numbers going down and down...damn....

(2) Goal setting-When i got back from Ipoh, i decided to work from home. I believed that this was a chance for me to monitor my life, of everything, every single thing including what i put into my mouth. I cooked my own meals and amazingly, i set a daily time table of what i should do which i last remembered doing years ago when i was 8 years. I laughed at it..honestly, i did, because i thought it was so corky and silently believe that i will never abide to that piece of paper with squares on it. And, i didnt! But, i swear to myself on my babies' name (..and their father's name) that i will follow that...starting today! Anyway, during that time before i actually going to the gym, i realized how good it is to see and understand what happen to my body. The first day of the gym proved to me how important to de-stress myself and what a good diet regime can do...i was weighed and to my surprise, i already lost 6kgs within that 5 weeks time. Holy Cow!! There i was...couldnt believe my farsighted eyes. The last time i weighed myself was exactly 7 weeks before that home thingy. I was instantly a changed person....getting my goal set..to lose 1kg every week and that'll be 4kgs a month. Phew....

(3) De-stress-Physical exercise is known to help people de-stress themselves and for a period of time retain focus on everything they do. I know i need this because i just couldnt focus on eveything lately. I get really emotional over things and my self-confidence plunge deeper than i can ever imagine. The worse part is...i became skeptical on almost everything especially myself. I cried a lot, couldnt sleep and i felt really sluggish. My went ballooning without realizing it these few months. I have to put a big black dot to it. Now, i am beginning to to feel the impact it has on me. Skin getting clearer, wasnt as hungry as before and my brain starting to show sign of activities. Cool....

(4) Look good-OK..this is a bit corny but hell yes...gonna tell you guys anyway. But you can skip this part if you suddenly feel nauseous. Well, firstly, im a girl and doing what girl knows best is my goal. I want to look good. All these years, I often prayed that i stumble upon a magic lamp whenever i go to work, seeing myself rubbing it and pooff...the genie appears and says.."Your wish is my command, mistress!". I imagining myself telling the genie, "I want you to zap this...this...this...whatever on my body, damn...so that i'll fit myself on that short black dress. Do it now!" The pressure is there..yeah..*sigh*...especially when you are surrounded with people like Nicole Kidman, Charlize Theron and whomever on E! Channel. Ok..ok..that was a bit over the top...let see, who's nearer and available...ermm...Nasha Aziz, anyone?

(5) Stamina-One of things in my '101 Things To Do Before I Die' list is scaling the Kinabalu end of this year. So, i guess..i need to build up that stamina. I cant imagine myself carrying all these extra baggage plus the oversized bag(s) over to the top. Good God....i'll be the last one to reach the peak...that is if i reach the peak on my on effort and not on some stretcher. Anyway, i need the stamina to do some other things as well *wink*...heyyyyy...perverts...hahahaha...i was saying something more like pushing my baby out from my body one day...duhhhhhhhhh.

There you go, 5 top excuses for me going to the gym. Digest it well people and accept it!...Ciao
