Skinny Ambition Tour 2009

Yes I have finally recovered from all my ailments and I can now start exercising again and start losing some of that excess weight that I have been putting on over these pass few months.

It all started with Christmas which is just a makan fest. Although it was muted, we did eat quite a bit. Then New Years did not do me any favours at all, adding onto my bulk. This was swiftly followed by Chinese New Year in Penang. Need I say more?

This was followed by several bouts of flu like symptoms and a never ending cold that dogged me down for a few weeks, which just miraculously ended.

So now, I am proud to declare that I am fit and well, all ready to start the exercise routine. Yesterday was a good gym morning not too heavy, go slow and also with the knowledge that I will be playing street soccer after work. Today is rest day and tomorrow the exercise continues.

Aside from this I need to start getting serious about cycling. I have been “leisure” cycling with Scottie for awhile now and it is time I got safe. Things to get (these are not hints, ya):
1. a good helmet – considering I am riding on the road
2. some padded tights - my ultra hard seat is the butt impediment to go distance
3. a good bike rack for my car – so that cycling is not limited to Jalan Kayu and its surrounds, got to mix it up lah
4. a speedo - track my progress and to push myself harder progressively.

Are you one of those pple, like J, that will try to get "everything" ready , but in the end, still too lazy to start exercising.

J tried getting new track shoes, then sports gear, stopwatch,etc all in the name of TRYING to start jogging. hmmm the last i know, he's still trying. HAHA
