Join Gym

Latest update of myself...I have been exercising! Joined a gym (for ladies only) nearby my place 6 months ago. I have been regularly to the gym at least 3 times a week except when I go outstation.

For the first 12 sessions, I had been trained by 4 different instructors (they kept changing instructors), nothing much changes I saw in myself. Quite disappointing. Then came this very qualified instructor, who trains other trainers in Klang Valley. He is really good. For the next 20 sessions under his close personal training, I finally lost weight and some cm off from waist. But he had other assignments and left the gym. Sigh!

I thought I lost hope there but then another trainer came. So far so good. He teaches kick-boxing. Previously I signed up for 8 Personal Training (PT) sessions per month. When the previous trainer left, I changed the PT sessions to 4 times a month.

Now, for 3 times a week in gym, twice is cardio (35 to 40 minutes) and one PT session which also include 20 minutes cardio and 1 hour circuit training either upper body or lower body.

Results…drum roll….6 months, 3 times a week………lost 5 kg and 10 cm waistline. Happy? Yes! Finally lost some weights after 4 years of gaining only. However, still lots more to shed cause I’m still overweight according to the BMI charts.

Goal for the next 6 months is to lose another 5 kg. (BMI will show normal then). If I can achieve 8 kg for the next 6 months then I’ll be back to the weight before first pregnancy. Wow, for the past 10 years, how much weight I gained in my two pregnancies and also after stop working!!!

Sorry my shepherd group members…I have not been baking much lately. Now you know why. Can’t afford the calories and got to make time if I need to bake. Shang and PN…great to know you are interested in baking now. Probably Ann can also bake for our SG since you bought your oven already.
