It's been a really long time...

It's been awhile since I blogged... Hmm... Just wasn't motivated bah...

Well... Have been training for the Stand Chart Marathon 10km run... though not very regularly...

Was suppose to go... But because I've to be at encounter weekend, I'm giving it a miss...

Still I went to collect the run kit last sunday, though I'm not running... I've paid $45 anyway... might as well right?

Well, while I was there... California Fitness was having their roadshow at the sports exhibition or something... Out of sheer curiosity... I went onto the "evil" machine of California Fitness...

Why do I call it the "evil" machine??? Well...

For one, it tells you brutal truth about your own body...

Two, it tells you really how truly fat you are...

Maybe it is because I've yet heard private fitness clubs offering such low rates, I joined...

Haha... I succumbed to the fitness freak in me... Though it is really a small freak...

Calculated the opportunity costs... And it was a win-win situation I guess...

I save my money from eating junk... from snacking... and pool those money together, and pay for the gym membership... I still get some money left over bah...

I mean, instead of spending $6-7 at the fast foods... I spend $2-$3.50 at the hawker or simply prepare food and bring it to work... I can save about $3.50-$4 per meal... that's like $10.50-$12 per day... and that's between $315-$360 per month! Wah!!! got enough money to pay for gym membership, insurance and still have money left for buying pretty dresses... and I have yet calculate the amount I could have spend on snacks! haha...

And also... Having started working out since a long time, I actually feel that the exercises I am doing is waking my lazy muscles up...

Am aching all over after tuesday's machine circuit... the fit pro, a rather cute guy... haha... (another incentive of going to the gym... they employ cuties to be personal trainers... eye candy... muahahaha...) was teaching me how to work out using those machines... he was pushing me to my limits...motivating me to just press on that one last set... it was fun... but now muscles I've forgotten that they ever exist are aching... just below my collar bones... at the back of my shoulders and shoulder blades... the inner thigh... the triceps and biceps... you can say that every muscle is more or less aching... but it is a good ache... haha... am I mad or what... then on wednesday attended hip-hop and stretch classes at the gym... hip hop was fun... stretch made me realise that I'm not as flexible as before... things I could easily do like splits, I suddenly cannot do... but the deep stretch relieved the aching muscles a little... thursday I went for bodycombat and dance-a-mania... Bodycombat was fun, but really tiring for me... Guess my stamina not up to par yet bah... Dance-a-mania made me feel good... Easy dance steps for me la... Some others were struggling... But, I managed to keep up... It felt like school all over again... This was what I did while in college mah... haha... Am gonna go for LatinoJam and BodyPump tomorrow... Am mad la... But I wanna have a taster of the classes I think I would like... And see if I would go for it in future...

Am looking forward to losing 17kg in 3 months... It's important to have a healthy body... For our body is the temple of God... if we don't take care of the temple of God, who else will???

Am going to encounter as a guide... been awhile since I've done this... but I believe the Holy Spirit will guide me... He will give me the discernment and wisdom to pray for the participants... God is moving... I can sense it... From the day He gave me an open door to a new job that could expand my okios and build my spiritual siblings' cell... to the day He gave me the courage to go to my current bosses to say I quit... to me not going for missions, but staying in Singapore... there is a reason... and His reason is so that I can help minister to His children... so please grant me the wisdom O Lord, give me the courage O Lord and guide me as I guide Your daughters O Lord... Thank You Lord... May Your will be done... As I ask all these in Jesus' name, amen!
