Trying hard

Following results from my gynae check up, I decided that there should be changes to my lifestyle so as to prepare a healthy body for conceiving. This decision should be made long ago but somehow I got lost somewhere.

I had always tried to exercise a bit here and there with no fixed timetable. But is was just not  enough for me to maintain the weight with my current eating habits (since I don't agree on going on a diet).

Given my daily schedule it is quite impossible to go for cycling or a slow jog after reaching home. Most of the time, I would need take dinner as I am famished by the time I hit home at 7.30pm.

One day, a solution just dropped from the sky when my colleague mentioned that she is following the video of Jung Da Yeon whose figureobics (combination of aerobics & dance move) you can do in the comfort of your home no matter what time is it, rain or shine.

The idea was shelved for quite some time until recently I decided to give it a try and google the videos. It might look easy but when you really try out the moves, its a miracle if you can complete the 30 exercises at 1 go. My best timing was 20mins and I feel like dying already.

So I try not to stress my body too much since it will hurt the next day. I would usually start with 1 of her stretching video for 20min and then continue for 20mins froma figureobics videos before stopping for a rest and determine whether I can continue or not. More often than not, it's the ultimate for me and I would stop for the day.

I do not have the luxury for doing these everyday but I try to do it every 3 days hoping to lost a bit of weight or at least tone up the body. My colleague says she does it everyday for 30mins and she really slimmed down but she did go on a strict diet along with the exercise.

For my case, I am not looking at such extreme measures rather I just need something to keep me moving and stretch my body. So far, it had been 2 weeks since I started the exercises. I certainly sleep better down since I will be dead tired from the exercise.

The reason for 3 days break is also due to body ache, haha they say if your body aches after the exercises it meant that you have stretch that part well? I certainly hope so..

Let's hope I can maintain the current schedule and hopefully shed some extra weight that I put on for the past 2 years. Fighting!
