for the past three months, i have finally returned to my gym routine like i used to do. even though gym routine is obviously not fun, i'll always try my best to make it to go to gym. i don't mind to go alone, or with friends. i enjoy to follow class especially non cardio programs such as pilates and body pump. i do combat and jam sometimes, but i don't prefer them. i avoid yoga, definitely. it makes me fly...to the lala-land.

i won't deny that sometimes those programs are tedious and repetitive, they bore me to death. but each time i can manage to lift certain level of weight in pump class, or certain pilates workout i wasn't able to do before, the good feeling of achievement definitely creeps in. and that makes me want to do it more.

it hurts, for sure. hell, it always hurts. even i've done the same workout so many times, it still hurts. and each time while i'm doing it, i always say to myself, "why the hell i'm doing this for? it bloody painful!" and yeah, i think, "why am i doing this to myself? so i can fit in my pair of skinny jeans or keeping my size under 8? or sink down my body weight under 50kgs *which is very impossible for now*" i'm not a person who very much obsessed with skinny body nor a diet freak. i'm the last person on earth who cares about low-carbs diet, atkins diet or whoever-he-is diet, or yo-yo diet (what the heck is that anyway), i never give so much attention to all that. life is too short to be wasted, and one from many ways to enjoy life is eat.

because i enjoy good foods. because i never skip desserts. because most of the time during pms i'm a sweet-toothed. because oh...i love carbs! (puahlease..i'm an asian). because i like to bake and make dessert. because when i bake a cake or cookies, i avoid low-fat ingredients (cuz' last time i used low-fat thick cream, the tiramisu turned out to be a bowl of porridge!). from physical health perspective, i have low blood pressure. if i don't go for workout, i'll be very weak and get dizzy easily . lack of energy is a big no-no for a person like me cuz' i always go everywhere within 1 km by walk. i drink alcohol occasionally. i drink beer and wine. in fact, sometimes i prefer beer instead *but looking at homer simson's picture on the wall...i'll probably need to cut it off*

i checked out my bin just now, and i remember, i ate a bar of chocolate waffer and a box of banana pocky just before i went to sleep last night *blush*

i always remember what my auntie said to me about diet and things like that. she said she used to easily manage her body when she was young, but when you get older, it seems like a bite of chocolate bar in your mouth could change your body entirely. it sounds overstated but you know what she means. as we get older, as well as our inside body systems are really hard to get compromised. that is why i think one way of keeping our body healthy and to stay in good shape is by doing a healthy habit since we're young. keeping our food intake and constant workout are the least things we can do.

mantain a healthy lifestyle since we're young. that's the key.

let's keep these in mind.

1. no pain, no gain.

2. we feel your pain, we celebrate your gain.

3. energy: the more you give, the more you gain.

in case one of you who read this is a manager of a fitness center, please do think to hire me. cuz' i start to really sound like a fitness first sales person now :D
