2 months

2 months anniversary at ID =)

i feel like i'm spending less money this time around because i'm buying less. but theres a catch. the few things i've bought do not come cheap.

like a membership at the gym for 1 year, unlimited. and 2 pairs of shoes.

actually, the shoes were put in for the sake of saying i bought them. but theres a trip to miri this weekend and i havent worked out how much i am budgeting for that... but the gym membership was expensive!

anyway, this meaaaans....

I AM BACK AT THE GYM! BALIK KAMPONG! SWEATS AND KURUS GALORE! SEXY TONED ARMS! NOT SO FLABBY STOMACH AND BEST OF ALLLLL

i can eat watever i want again!

okay to be honest, i havent exactly been dieting since my month-long hiatus from the gym. work is, at its best, challenging; and at its worst, downright stressful. so with that kind of work, and my being the person who eats more during stressful times i tell you it is nearly impossible to stick to a no-chocolate-after-6pm rule. apatah lgi no carbs after 7pm when i only have time for a proper sit down dinner by 7pm earliest.

(dont get me wrong. still love my job hee)

i've promised myself to sign up for the gym as soon as the second paycheck comes but trying to fit in the time to go to the gym and pay up was difficult to fit in between work, chores, socialising and what-have-yous. so when the workmates arranged an impromptu badminton session lastnite at the fitness zone hall, i jumped at it! went back home during lunch to get my gear, took money (did i tell u my building has an atm machine? evil, i know!) and went to the gym straight after work. signed up and when nurul-the-membership-consultant asked me when i'd like my membership to start, i went 'can i start now? like tonite? i have my gym gear in the car'.

talk about enthusiastic. haha but being back at the gym felt soooo good. it wasnt so much the workout tho coz obvs my stamina is teruk now. but i still managed to run a good 20mins on the treadmill so i guess i'm not so pancit. methinks its the weekly tasek-baddy-combo that helped. btu seeing the familiar faces, the equipments, the changing room!

of course it had a slightly novel feel to it coz i was a morning gym bunny and not used to seeing so many ppl at the gym mlm2x. and how ppl actually que before classes. and how difficult it is to get a machine because thres so many ppl.

but hey, something i can work around. met familiar faces (and everyone missed me!) and went on the tanita machine and am horrified to find that my fat mass has doubled in 1 month. my muscle mass? such a sad number. the plan for now is to get myself used to a routine of working out in the evenings after work and then slowly shape up my no-longer-toned-arms back into its former glory.

ah. gym. tomoro morning, first day back with the aunties gang. time to see if the extra weight on the scales shows on my face. coz u knw how ppl who havent seen u in a while will be able to tell better than ppl who see u everyday.

much love,
rabi'a xoxo
