Resolution has begun
FINALLY!!!!I think that's the best word to described the beginning of my long overdue resolution :) Yes, I just went for BodyStep class yesterday and also swimming on Sunday morning (yay!).
I think the swimming part is even more surprising than fitness because I went alone....and at 9am in the morning!!?! (ok...are we sure we're talking about Kai here?? hehe....)
Most would know very well that I'm no early bird...not especially on weekends, but I've been telling myself that I'll go for a swim every Sunday since...I dunno, September maybe?? And on every Sunday morning, the routine has been the same.
Alarm goes off at 8.30am....snooze it for 10 mins....and there's always a 'next' Sunday...... then back to sleep!! ...zzZZ..
One of the reasons I gave myself, was that its too far to drive out.... (only 10 mins drive away?!) And I remember a dear swimmer friend saying that I should need to get a pool built by the side of my bed, only then I will have no more nonsense excuses!! And this came into 1 of my forwarded mails today....
oooo....how I'd wish.....
Last Sunday I finally ran out of excuses, so I dragged myself out of bed and went for a dip at 9.15am in the morning :) Nice coz there weren't a lot of people, which is also why I like to go early....That and also to avoid the sun :P..... Ok, so it was only a 30 mins swim....at least that's something for a start, right??
Felt like my legs were numb when I got up from the pool, while I only did 8 laps?!! (err...though its 4 according to a frequent swimmer friend...but 8 sounds better! haha...)
Monday morning at work, walking with heels was straining my calf muscles a little...plus some aches on my arms and shoulder and back.....clearly I have been slacking off for too long!! At 6pm, my dearie colleague was asking me the question again for the nine hundredth time!!!
"So are we going for the BodyStep class? Or should we go tomorrow morning? I'll pick you at 6.30am...".
NO kidding!!! 6.30am?! Ok...let's go now! hahaha....
Whoa... I'm glad I went for class. I missed Steps classes a lot....well, freestyle Steps to be precise, but BodySteps was just as good when I haven't been 'stepping' for nearly a year now!! Felt great to get all sweaty again... :)
And just when I thought I would be walking like a crab the next morning, I felt absolutely no pain at all.....neither did I have any more strains from the swimming session the day before. Fantastic!! I think I stretched it all out with those steps and tummy-crunching sit-ups :D

I guess it's all about discipline.. even the idea of having a pool by your bed seems to be cool.. but I'm sure when you have a pool like that, you'll still have excuses for not going for a swim :p
I'm the type who's takde discipline langsung type... especially when it comes to working out and diet. Wished I'm still as active as last time (esp when I was learning Taekwondo.. that was probably the healthiest time of my life!? :p).
My apt has got swimming pool just downstairs.. I'm a morning person, but.. I can't swim.. Literally..I just go for a dip... and having kids telling on my face that I'm fat :( So er.. that's it.. not even a dip now.
Good job kai...now the only thing left to do is... KEEP IT UP! so easy!
haha...wanna keep it up?
