The Gym and I...

Now that I've found my gym buddy, I feel delighted to pen down my
gym experiences. First of all, for those of you who are planning to
slim down, tone up, get that Pussycat Dolls' bodies let me tell you
it's going to be hard work, hard work and hard work.
My achievement so far is actually not something that I can be so
proud of. It's been a year since I first started working out at the
gym, but I'm still way behind target.

Total mass lost: 8kg
Total body fat lost: 6%

My doctor said, OK not too bad as long as I can maintain the same
weight for a year, that's quite an achievement. She knew my history,
I've been consistently gaining weight for the last 5 years. Back
in January 2005, I was actually 28kg heavier than I was at the time
I got married. Wow, we're talking about serious body and health neglect
here!!

So, I still have to lose those 20kg, no matter what other people say.

Some of my friends wondered why I signed up at the gym. Okay, here's
the truth:

I was watching a rerun of The Apprentice - First Season, when Omarosa
was interviewed during the finale. We all know she can be really
bitchy at times and an undescribably irritating team member (someone
whom I'll never include my project team, that's for sure!), but
viewers also noticed that she's one of the ladies who'll step on the
stationary bike provided in their luxurious suite every morning.

So, the interviewer asked her whether she's a fitness freak. Her answer
was simple,

"Girls must burn calories.."

Starting at that moment I realised how easily unhealthy fat pile up
in the girls' bodies. The man can easily lost those love handles after
5 sessions at the gym and some change in their diet. But we girls
have a lot of difficulties especially for pear shaped people. Those
fat on the thigh, butts and abdomen are really stubborn. That's why so
many lazy ladies opted for liposuction procedures. After struggling at
the gym for more than a year, I don't blame them for making that
decision. Especially when looks and vital statistics determine whether
you'll be able to pay for the monthly bills.

However, I'm not encouraging you on getting lipo or any form of
cosmetic surgery as they're rather risky. Let's remember Omarosa's words,
workout at least 3 times a week and watch what we eat. So, I'd like
to thank Omarosa for the advice and for the 8kg I've lost so far.... hihihi.

P/s: My gym buddy got injured after falling at her parents house last
night. So this week, I need another gym buddy... anyone ??? Jade, kau pegi
jauh sangat le, camana nak buddy-buddy nih?
