bikram...I almost love you...

Yes, my new found activity. It is one of those things in your to-do list that never gets done. The last time I was in Yoga was when I was expecting Hailey. But this time it is different. Very different, with the 40 degree heat and the less bendible body, I thought I was dying towards the end of the 90 mins class. Dead mans position is the rest position. My favorite so far. Every fibre of my being was being stretched. I had positions I didn't know I have/could! Out of the 26 positions, maybe a good smacking 20 for now...I was wet with perspiration, practically drenching the towel beneath me. So was everyone. The heat was not as bad as I thought and it is always good to sweat it all out. Still, by the 24th position, I was dizzy, queasy...then a relief when the instructor commanded the last position. It was overall a much needed sweat it all out session. Felt good. Not the afterwards though, my muscles are now aching 24 hrs later...after shock I guess. But you'll see...I'll be back.

I want!

love the nail colours from chanel! I want!!

Breakfast is ...

I woke up at 7am today and had in mind egg 'pizza' with button mushroom, cherry tomatoes & a bunch of sausages. With a dash of mixed peppers, salt & celery sprinkled, it tasted heavenly...fit for a queen they say...I didn't realised cooking itself is a form of theraphy! I feel ready to conquer my world!! Live better today!

59.9 KG - 03.03.10

Its is the number I want to defeat. Hailey will be 1 yr old soon. Besides having the goal of getting rid of my kangaroo pouch, I neeed all the extra strength I can get through exercise. My self-esteem comes next. I am not happy with the external part of me. How can I feel good inside? I have a depressing vibe walking around in this weight. The consolation is that I finally recognize the enemy within. Before a battle starts it is good to identify the 'enemy'. I am proud to say my exercise regime has started. the plan is 3 times a week with the trainer. Weekend at parkway on my own. I need to press on to my goal! I hope this entry will help me to look back when I am down to 52kg and be proud of my achievement! Hahaha ...
