Continue boot camp ???

This morning, I completed my 11th boot camp session. It was good. I got home with dirt all over me. We had to do 10 different on-the-spot exercises with as many repetitions for a non-stop 4 minutes for each. I felt it was a little easier than all the past 10 sessions. It also made me wonder if I am fitter and stronger now, thus that feeling? I think so! :)

And the biggest question is whether I should continue boot camp for another month...which starts on Sept 3 after a 2 weeks break !

Hmmm......I'll decide soon.

Beautiful day y'all ! See you soon....

Monday Blabbers ! Ugh ...

Tonight will be my 10th boot camp session. I'm not well today. I got a slight temperature and my throat hurts abit. The muscle that I pulled at my groin is fully recovered. But, I still have the pain just below my hips. When I sit for long hours, it's really painful when I stand and walk. But, I can't be walking all the time! Now, what am I whining about? No excuses, Danem ! You are going to do your 10th session! Period. :)

So, being sick I took the day off. I called in sick and now relaxing in the comfort of my room. No, I did some work too. Working from home. Got to do the minutes of a meeting held last week, sent a mail to my boss recommending office closure for next week, replying to other official mails. I also "disturbed" a few with some mails...lol, and whatsapp-ing with my friends. It's nice to take the day off and do some "work" :)

Hmm, a hot sunny day and I'm already on my 2nd bottle of Gatorade. It's the Grapefruit flavour, no caffeine, no carbonation :) While having this drink, I'm only thinking how strenuous today's exercise would be at boot camp. And, I just went on the scale, it's really depressing. I'm only seeing increase of weight. Oh ! why ! ... I just can't understand. Even it's building muscles, I don't want the weight to go up. I will never be comfortable. I feel that I have to do something about this rather than having to revamp my wardrobe. Probably, a diet is necessary - and, I don't like dieting. I will miss the packet nasi lemak, the roti chanai, chocolates ...oh my ! all fatty food are my favourite...I have to "revamp" this rather than my wardrobe ... seriously !

You know, it's nice to write blogs. As you write whatever that comes to mind, you will realise where you're going wrong for instance my weight and the reasons behind it. See ! Now, what am I blabbering about? A little of a chatterbox, ey ? LOL ! I'd better pen off here before I make a nuisance of myself...

Happy Working, peeps ! See you soon in my next blabbering blog :P

It's the Weekend !

I always look forward to weekends. Today, being a Saturday I wanted to make it a ME day, sleep in till noon,  have my brunch, watch a movie, take a nap etc etc. But ..............I woke up at 5am because I forgot to turn off my alarm! What a waste. Thereafter it was just turning and tossing and finally I got up and decided to be useful...lol...

I did some facebooking...ahh ! that's not useful I know but that's like a everyday ritual kind of thing for me ...lol...I am a little curious as  to what the world has been up to while I slept ! Hahaha...So, as I was saying, a little facebooking, a little chat with my housemate and then the useful part was the laundry ! Yay ! did my laundry and they're now happily under the sun. It's a hot day in Malaysia. I'm only glad to have the sun when I do my laundry ...lol

Soon, I will be doing some packing. No, am not going for a vaction. I'm MOVING !!! Will let you in more about this in my next blog...

So, how's the weekend treating you and what have you been up to ? Made yourself as useful as me? LOL..

Happy Saturday folks...and enjoy your weekend !

Much Love...

MY BOOT CAMP!

Sorry for not updating much earlier. Now, gonna tell you more about boot camp.

When i joined boot camp, I was thinking that this is one place I can make my dream come true ie being slim and trim, finally looking like a million bucks when it's all over and feel good about my achievement.

I was wrong.

It's not about losing weight and looking good. It's the fitness, the discipline and how we were taught to work as a team. The workouts are super intense. I've just completed my 9th session this morning. This one is a killer ! We had to pull a huge tyre (looked like a tractor's tyre) with a rope and run, dragging the tyre to the other end of the field. Then, lift the tyre onto our shoulders and run back fast and hand it to the next group of 6. We did that in 2 sets. The first set was to do 10 laps and the 2nd with just 2 laps. It was a challenge. We lost. The punishment was to do 15 grunts and another 10 grunts for the 2 laps.

After completing this, we did a series of squats, lunges, planks each for a hurting 3 minutes. I was struggling. I did cheat a little as I was drained off of my energy that was left in me. I decided to do 'em slowly so the reps were lesser. Yeah, I know that's cheating. I just could not do any faster...lol.

Then it was the cooling down exercises and "hooyahs, see you on Monday".

My 10th session will be on Monday next week. I left the place finding it so difficult to walk as I think I pulled a muscle in both my groins. I was told by the Sarjan to give cold compress and do some stretching. He said I should be okay for the next session. It's still painful ...pretty tight at my groin. I am actually walking very oddly ...you know that kind of walk ...lol...Oh boy ! I could do with a massage right now !

But it's all good. What I am pleased about this boot camp is that my level of fitness has improved tremendously. I used to dislike running as it tires me and that's the hardest thing to do. Now, I can run a lap without any serious panting after that. But of course you ask me to do 2 laps and I would only be able to do power walking in between the running. But, I am genuinely happy that I have built my fitness level to this stage. That really impresses me and I am pretty confident I will do run more laps non-stop :)

Although, I know I may not be able to achieve my dream of looking like a million bucks (as in being slim and trim) but I know now that I am and will be FIT like a BILLION bucks. Haha. I am on the right track now. I wish I had done this much earlier. But its not late though. For a good workout it will be the one and only boot camp. And, this is where I will go if at all I see myself falling back on my fitness.
Cheers ! Happy Friday, folks. Enjoy your weekend.

It's August !

I'm sorry ! Can't believe that I have not written a single blog in July. That shows how busy I've been. Yeah, July kept me on my toes most of the time. I started my first ever boot camp too. An hour session three times a week. Although it was hard and tough in the beginning, I'm head on to complete the 12 sessions. I'm into my 6th. It's a challenging one and we get trashed like nobody's business. But, I am loving it. I will let you in more about this exciting boot camp in my next blog soon.

And, since August has kicked off...let's hope it gives us abundance of good vibes. And, a gentle reminder... there's only another 4 months before we wrap up the year. So, if you've made resolutions, tap on it and get going. It's still not too late to make it work :)

I'm lacing my running shoes now and off I go for my boot camp !

See 'ya soon :)
