Good day, everyone!
Today is (obviously) Thursday and I, unfortunately, skipped school. )-: Can't exactly say there's a legit reason for it but I couldn't sleep the entire night and I was zombie-like this morning so I told myself, "This won't do," and I ended up staying at home. (-:
As usual, I started my day early! I woke up before 10AM (slightly later today because I managed to fall asleep at only 630AM) and I had breakfast before working out. (-:
I decided to attempt this 30-day challenge Malaysian blogger Karen Kho had posted on her site.
Instead of doing it every day for 30 days, I'm going to do this alternate days (began today) and for the rest of the days I'm going to jog some 5km. Its important to incorporate rest days into our workout schedule so mine shall be every Thursdays (since I end school at 730PM and doing anything after that would be impossible considering I start at 9AM) and Saturdays! (-:
It's really intensive on the lower body but I felt quite accomplished after it. Okay, I'll admit that I didn't finish doing the whole routine. )-: I stopped at the 6th leg raise and I suppose I'm to be ashamed of it but I'm not. (-: I'm, in fact, quite proud of myself for making it that far into the routine. (Its really intensive, no joke.)
Knowing my body, I stopped where I hit my limit and that's important because I don't want to strain my lower body. I generally have weak knees that's why I try not to put too much stress on them.
Anyway, I'm going to monitor my weight every day and my starting weight today was 46.5kg. My weight has been fluctuating and its not a good sign but my goal is to lose 2kg by the end of this 30 days. I know its possible and I'm not going to give myself any excuses to quit midway.
After which, I shall adopt this 30-minutes home workout I found while scrolling through Karen Kho's site. Its the same workout she did when she first began in March. In my opinion (in all my years of being in sports and running marathons), its quite an effective workout. (-: I do away with the weights because I don't have them and I'm not going to invest in them but that's fine, I feel.
I actually want to focus a lot more on my lower body. Like most Asians (I believe), I'm much heavier on the lower body. I've a 24" waist but my hips is probably like 36" and that's mad. )-: Mom always says its my asset but I don't really like it. Anyway! It don't matter as long as I become leaner. (-:
Day #1 is over and I'm going to go for a walk in the evening. (-:
My lower body is so swollen right now (not because of the workout). As in, literally swollen because its the time of the month. Gladly enough, I've no cramps today. But the past few days were terrible. )': Survived anyway!
Time to get on to working on PO4! For those of you who are unaware, Classygeeks is sending in this round of orders next Wednesday, 4 September! So remember to go check us out. (-: We've got lots of amazing and trendy items for below $20!
Well, have a great one everybody!
