Psyched up

Making a point to chart my exercise/toning regime, praying hard that this is not another hangar-hangat taik ayam - again. Must admit that i'm getting excited about the whole thing - the effort and time and the results so far. No doubt there are lots - i mean - LOTS - to be shed and toned, but i'd like to believe that this is another of my 'on my way' thing.

Summary of Tips I gathered from my trainer
1)Heart rate pyramid
a) 80% above
b) 61-79%
c) Below 60%

2)Weight loss
stretching and exercising will make you sweat and all but if heart rate is of
pyramid @a)
 weight loss in short time but flabby
pyramid @b)
 weight loss in longer time but firm / toned - recommended
pyramid @c)
 weight loss very loooonnng time – not effective, good for weight maintenance

3)Me :
max heart rate : 179
recommended heart rate : 110 - 143 (pyramid @b)

4)Weight loss package regime
= combo management of food intake + exercise + enough sleep (min 6 hours)!
includes MINIMUM 8 glasses of who-aa a day

5)Kena stretch out lepas exercise – it’s the foooood to the muscle

6)Food intake vs blood group. Eat right for your type. Interesting!

Adapun seketika ceriteranya - balik kampong @ hari raya cina - GONE!!!
i binged on food like there was no tomorrow. Sob! Sob! Sob! Gamaknya if DH ada... i am loss for words to express on his behalf! No - kalau dia ada - i suppose i wud only have the chance to dream on food-bingeing! I wish he's here..

Got back in SubangIndera yesterday evening. Right after Maghrib, I found myself at the gym.. Alhamdulillah. Semangat wanita melayu ku masih mantap rupanya..
45 minutes on the treadmill, and 2 (only!) sets of circuit training for lower part.

--------------

Conversation with DH this morning ... he's changing his life style altogether - increase training time, reduce work time (as work wont complete anyway.. tau tak pa, ogrhang dok cakap tak nak dengark!) - training TWICE a day! And when DH trains, HE TRAINS & SWEATS BIG TIME. Adoiii.... baghru ler teman nak catch up, dia dah double the speed, macamana ni torts! panix!!

While walking on the way for today's corporate day gathering, a young engineer sapa and shared his findings on the eat-right for your blood type. A motivational support there..

Lunch hour another young engineer came into my room. Ghupenya mamat ni pun has been to the same gym in Taipan. No wonder he has been throwing light remarks on my gym trips in the last couple of weeks.. Cheekily he was disappointed when i told him that i trained at the Ladies Area - ;) We exchanged tips and experience with the trainings/trainers. Good. Another motivation.

Oh! I love this good feeling - I am all so psyched up.

Can't wait to go for my session tonite.
