my babu is hooooommmeee!
my daddy's on leave too =D
so ystrdy both picked me up from semeo voctech and we went straight for makan. just the three of us.
its been eons since i've had exclusive manja time with both parents. heee. not that i was manja during lunch. kana kautkan plg itu ini. siuk eeyh. felt like i was 10yrs old again. lol.
i've been away for civic course, hence the absence of updates. also been away from the gym, something which i berabisly detest. which was why i was reluctant to go for the civic course in the first place. but it was compulsory.
oh well. its now done and over with.
didnt manage to do any form of cardio or strength training watsoever in 4 days. unless i count the measly 30mins aerobics session which didnt even make me proper sweat. 4 days was spent listening to countless talks, too little sleep and too much food.
first thing i did when i reached home was get on the weighing scales.
miraculously, with all the nasi lemak and mee gorengs and no exercise and just 4 hrs of sleep every night, i'm happy to say my weight is still the same =D
after catching up with sleep the whole afternoon ystrdy i came back to the gym this morning with a vengeance. spent 30mins on the treadmill jogging at an incline (something i've never done) and rose increased all my weights during PT. then had pilates, which had new moves and oh-so-flattening-tummy moves. woo-hoo.
i'm all hyped up nie. tomoro is latin aero and i'm planning on bringing my heels to class. its much more fun doing salsa and cha cha in heels than sport shoes innit?
anyway, big dinner tomoro night. and interesting attendees too. super excited about it, definitely.
will update once i have the will to write a substantial post. if my posts were ever substantial plg. harhar.
much love,

Kurus
ystrdy stood out as the day i am officially kurus.
yea i knw i've lost weight apa, but i've always thought myself as slim, not kurus. kurus may be the same thing plg. lol. but when i hear it i think skinny, not slim. and maybe it was the way the two ppl exclaimed 'kurus jua kau!' at the first sight of me.
first was zimbo, who came by the house to give me her wedding invitation.
her kurus exclaims where punctuated by slaps on my arm and asking 'what did u dooooo?'
we go to high school together waay baack since 1999 but only really got close in form 4. gee, i guess i was really berisi back then. or maybe zimbo's just stressed out about her wedding.
second to loudly exclaim how much weight i've lost was my nini idah, mamacits' mum. i came by their house to get the cake i ordered for the beau. and she was all 'behapa kau kurus-kurus anie?'
this is the woman who saw me grow up from an itty bitty (chubby) baby to a bulat toddler to a fat kid to a braces-wearing teen and now, a 'kurus' twenty-something.
i still need to get the word round my head tho. the fact that they're using kurus instead of 'makin damit jua kau' and the likes. growing up i dont remember ever being at my current weight ever. even when i was 14 i wasnt at this current weight.
but me likey the compliments of course. hehe. shows that the hard work pays off. now when ppl ask me what i do i dont just say 'gym and special k', i now say
'its all hard work. but if u want something and u work for it, it'll happen'. i mean, i know i've always burbled on abt how happy the gym makes me feel and how ecstatic i am when i see the scales go down and how yummy special k is, so imma tell u the flip side of the story.
i do wake up in the morning (with aching muscles) and wanting to go back to sleep or not go to the gym. i do set up super ambitious goals which i usually give up on before long (as the half marathon and biking thing) and i do eat more than the one-portion-per-meal i advocate when the makanan is super yummy (the usual deal-breakers are sushi and kway teow). i do wish that my metabolic rate is super fast so i wudnt have to do weights because i tend to want to give up after the second set of 15 reps.
i do wish that rose would sometimes go slower when she's doing steps and william to count faster when he asks us to hold a pose. and i ALWAYS look at the clock during classes because im hoping its going to finish soon!
but i put my chin up, tailbone in (haha. ppl in william's class will understand) and stayed through it all. i finish my last few weight reps albeit slowly. i go just as fast as rose in steps and i dont let go of a pose till william says 'release'.
because i know its all worth the work.
altho i do sometimes cheat ;) during steps i sometimes stop and just march on the spot till i get my breath back, i release my plank whenever william walks to the back of the class and resume the pose straigtaway when he's looking to the front and i just give up altogether on a last set of reps when i feel i cant do it.
u just gotta know when its okay to cheat. because at times, it is. just dont beat urself up when u cant do what u did last week. acknowledge what u didnt do, move on and start again. like the quote above, weight management is a life-long thing, so theres no full-stop if u wanna keep (or lose) your current weight.
(okay.. i think i've been reading too much of women's health.)
the icing on the (fairy) cake was ystrdy afternoon after i got back from mamacits. i was fooling around with my brothers, taking turns on the bar thing where we do chin ups/pull-ups when one brother lifted me up and threatened to carry me into the toilet to flush me. above my screams for mercy (because we were already in the toilet) and my other brothers' amused and terhibur laughter, i heard my brother (the one who was carrying me) say, 'eh ringan jua kaka anie!'
wooo hoo! typing it down here is like the whipped creamed and the cherry on top. these brothers have forever been calling me fat even at my lowest weigh in, comparing me to their girl friends and girlfrens (who are always always skinny in the real meaning of the word skinny). but now they're actually admitting that i am kurus!!!
now i want a chocolate cake with whipped cream. oooh i want another slice of citscakes! i always let myself indulge in a guilty pleasures after ego-boosters. haha like i said, its okay to cheat sometimes.
much love,

Civic Course soon...
how the hell am i going to fit in at least 30mins of workout a day during the 4 days 4 NIGHTS of Kursus Sivik?
me needs to get dumbells pronto. the nikes ones will do. in pink, of course. altho i bet i'll look silly carrying weights. i mean, krg kana pikir
"apakan bini2x anie anti-social jua. kan workout rather than socialising?"
or even worse "eh b*tch jua bini2x anie. 4days without weights pun nda buleh?"
a friend told me that there'll be 'banyak makan tu' to appease my reluctance at the idea of staying overnight. majorly wrong thing to say. i mean, i'm not against food (harhar, who is?) and especially in the light of the recent food debate which i wont even go into but honestly, having MORE than breakfast lunch tea dinner AND supper is ridiculous. the aim is to have healthy, driven [insert other positive attributes] youths, not stuff them with junk (yes it wil be junk bcoz i have no doubt it will be the usual fare of karipaps and mee goreng etc).
u are what u eat. if u feed ur body with junk, u will be junk.
now dont get me wrong. im a girl who loves food and i cant resist a piece (a piece? try a whole bar!) of chocolate and i have a pina colada from DQ every other day after my workout. the difference? i workout. i'm not telling each and everyone to go to the gym or work out sampai pengsan nor am i telling ppl to portion control
BUT
wheres the balance in feeding us up seven-times-a-day for 4 days and only giving us one measly senamrobik session?
eat the food, burn the calories jua. its like work hard play hard. or watevr ppl say these days. so apply that to exercise its eat hard and exercise hard (?)
yes, as u can tell, i'm slightly moody. but to ppl who accidently bumped into this blog and are going to the civic course with me, SEE YOU GUYS SOON!
and dont worry, im much nicer (and less snappier) in person. lol.
ooh i was googling for a pink dumbells image but lookee wat i found instead!
okay i changed my mind! i want this pair instead. talk about modern and ultra chic! having stuff like this just ups the drive to work out, y'know? wonder if they have it in pink.
i need to get a life eh. cant believe im actually googling dumbell images. maybe the civic course is just what i need. a chance to socialise and take a not-so-manic apprroach to gym life.
i'll find out after next week then.
much love,

Sunday Morning Sun is Shining
i didnt have PT today because Rose has a yoga workshop to go to.
so i slathered my face with sunblock and sunscreen till i look positively white (awu im very anal abt sunburn, wat with skin cancer and all. but more psl i dont wanna get darker haha. plus i met ezzah ystrdy who is currently suffering from too much sun. get well soon zah!) and i went to padang kebajikan for some track running =)
okay, i didnt do any running. i jogged a measly 500m sa-ha-ja. buruk eh :s
normally i'd still go to the gym even if rose cancelled PT but my second youngest brother is representing his school in the pesta sukan for the 100m and 400m, so he asked me to bawa him to a track so he cud practice. aku mcm sitaie kan belumba with him.
(my brother's reli good btw. he did 100m in 15secs flat and 400metres in 1min19secs! and he's only 11yrs old. reli proud of him!)
sekalinya atu PANAS d padang ah. maan.. takes me back to high school sports days where i'd be sitting under the shade with my cap and sunnies and fanning myself and holding a tall drink of iced lemon tea.
so i tried to avoid the sun as humanely possible while trying to jog around the track. yes, i got a couple of funny looks. in the end i gave up and just occupied myself with my brother's stopwatch (helping him time his progress) and shouting all sorts of encouragement while he ran just to embarrass him.
i think im only athletic when theres full wall-length mirrors, a water dispenser, TV channel tuned to E! and most importantly, air-conditioning.
haha. spoilt much?
kalau d tasek its much cooler cause of the trees and stuff. this morning d padang kebajikan atu.. homaigad begitu teriknya matahari. i'll never be a track and field girl (unless maybe we go in the afternoons). imma stick to the gym, thank you very much!
i guess there's still that girly-i-hate-exercising-and-sweating-rabz inside me.
just as long as i dont go back to the chubby rabz. haha.
much love,

Gym
naaah. aku clueless as to what to name this post so gym saja. pretty much sums up what i say anyway.
soo...
the past few days have been slightly depressing for me, and no, bukan psl my boyfren ke singapore. its kinda funny coz my last post was so upbeat. my weight has been soaring up to new heights! that got me down altho of course i cant expect it to stay down what with my eating-out-everyday habit. now the bf is away, im going back to the special k a day diet. plus im meeting my girls this sunday. need to look good for them! haha yes we're sisterly like that.
also been having crappier workouts. antah sumhow sudah weight naik atu, mcm kureeng the semangat. but thank god i had PT (personal training) this morning. back in the groove, i can say =)
PLUS!
i went on the tanita machine again to check up on my progress since 2 weeks back. well, everything went down, including my weight BUT most importantly my fat mass.. which means i'm more toned!
so that made my morning.
cant wait for another 2 weeks. i hope i dont suffer a workout relapse hehe.
thats all i got for now. actually ada plg but me mommy told me to tone down what i say. huhu seee my mum still reads my blog aaah.
to babu 'Hi bu! bah sudah babu balik we facial together aah? love u!'
oh, also to the sayang. gudluck with ur exam majigys in spore ad i love u too!
loves to everyone tah jua nah.

game on =D
i've been toying with the idea of having a separate blog for my gym/exercise/body weights stuff.
basically the stuff u guys skim over (or totally skip) =p
we'll see =0
speaking of separate blogs, mamacits has got her own separate one for her yummilicious and gorgeous baked goodies! check out www.citscakes.blogspot.com. she's good i tell you. one of her first posts are on a liverpool FC cake (complete with a player sitting atop a football!!) and a white chanel bag cake.
and thats only the tip of the iceberg of what she can do. and yes, she made everything from scratch! bah jgntah lgi ke bakeries or watevs. with cits, ur guranteed hand-made and home-made goodies, personalised and affordable. oh, and orgasmically delish, of course! im not just saying this cause she's my aunt. take my word and order from her.
(i called first dibs for a 10-tiered cake. kalau bukan untuk wedding ku, untuk saja2x. haha.)
i remember back when we were kids (awu shes my aunt plg but we're the same age. u knw la.. org barunai. shes's my dad's first cousin bah) and she had this spankin' new barbie oven (yang pink lgi tu!) where u can bake real stuff. one time we wanted to make cookies apa. she was reli into the baking process. i was into the mixing and dipping my hands in the batter sja. sudah the cookies went into the oven, i lost interest. mamacits here, on the other hand, dengan setia menunggu her cookies to be done. oh, in the end i waited too, but only because i wanted to eat the cookies as opposed to cits who waited to see how they turned out.
we were 8 years old.
and now, 13years on and her passion for baking (and cooking! tapi she only takes orders for baked goodies) is stronger than everrr (which reminds me, we used to be the power rangers masa damit. haha random~). so anyhoo, drop by her blog and u'll see why i'm gushing over her like ali does over pokemon.
-end of advertisement-
(mamacits, since im advertising u, my 10-tier cake atu kasi 3 tiers free la ah?)
happy to say i'm back on track with my gym sessions. had a early nite lastnite which was ah-MAYZING! why oh why did i ever stay up late in the first place? mcmtah nda dpt jln siang! didnt sleep after subuh today and was on the treadmill by quarter past SEVEN!
=)))))))))))))))))))))
yes yes im all smiles. altho that smiley makes me think the smiley has double chins.
i planned to take it easy again today (like i did on sunday where i only brisked walked as opposed to running) with the treadmill but then, i'd never knw if i dont push myself. glad to say my monday hiatus did me good. told myself to run for just 10 mins.. which became a full-fledged 20mins! covered 3.7 km too =D
shudve rounded it off to 30mins plg but my throat was gasping for water (still havent mastered the art of running and drinking) and i had a class i wanted to join anyway.
had a mini one-on-one with lyza cause i was the only one in belly dancing class. i love these little sessions because they actually concentrate on u banar2x rather than pass u just because ur flexible. psl dorang anie kan, in a class full of overweight ppl, they ignore the fit ones assuming we knw wat to do. so me very very likey today!
(i discovered that belly dancing is all in the breathing which am still struggling with. new-found respect for shakira maaan. u tink its just hips and belly?)
that said, its good plg they're attentive to the ppl who are obviously struggling.
i'm so in love with my gym.
awu aku happy. and this is without seeing my boyfren today nor ystrdy. two days in a row yo! so transition from boyfren to boyfrenless have been smooth and seams-free.
its all about transferring my love from boy to gym. haha.
much love,

struggles
am in paaaain and struggling to get my ass off to the gym today.
will update once i get back (or if i go back to sleep, once i wake up).
UPDATED:
so.. watchu guys think? did i or did i not go to the gym?
i was was going thru my iphotos lastnight. i have such random photos. ada sorang atu kuat main my camera wah =p his pseudonym is keluang-man. haha
at ikea's playground while waiting for the girls' parents to get the new coffee table. incidentally it was about 10 minutes before this that i spilt hot coffee on fauzah in ikea's cafeteria =s
keluang-man strikes again. i think he only strikes houses that have throw rugs on the sofas.
time c ali kurus. haha. but seriously.. KURUS AH! this was during our xmas dinner last year.
timeless piece of pictionary drawing. this joke will NEVER get old.
hello kaaaaa! hehe. u look belabih here. lol
bah enough of the iklan.
i DIDN'T go to the gym today. surprised?
heres the story:
i recovered from my banging-headache-fever-selesma combo saturday ptg. went out that night for a last minute dinner with mamacits so ahir tdur. sunday (ystrdy) woke up wayyy early for a sunday morning (and the fact that i had a late night out) all giddy for the gym just because i missed 2 days of working out. had my over-due session with rose (where she pushed me, both figuratively and literally, to do weights and lunges and squats and oh, abs crunches. still cant feel my tummy) and i also had a go on both the treadmill and elliptical machine. sigh, it was a bittersweet reunion for me and the gym machines. i have to say despite what u guys are gonna be reading in the next few paragraphs, ystrdy was the best gyming days i've had so far.
came back oblivious to my body's screams of help (aches and pains). had a family function in the afternoon and went out again at night for dinner with the boyfren. kinda like a farewell dinner cause he starts work today. so there, i was out the entire day on sunday.
skali this morning the pain and aches in my body just crashed into me. so i thought i'd write a quickie post and see if i'd be motivated enough to get up. skali nda.
but i tink it has nothing to do with motivation. i tink i just need to learn to listen to my body more. there's no use toning up my body if what i do is kill it. i've gained back the weight i lost over my damam weekend (so it was just from lack of eating. false alarm hee) but i lost an inch from the waist. its funny how im seeing the results faster by taking days off than continuously going to the gym. ah well. everything in moderation innit?
anyhoo, seeing my girls this sunday! aaaaaah cant wait!!! miss u babes so muchos!
much love,
