I noticed from my Blog Stats a lot of you are from Australia so a Very Good day to you! and thank you for coming back :)
So today is my last day in the office for Year 2011, looking back this year has been very productive. Especially for the pass couple of months; since i started working out again.
I have managed to go from no exercises, addicted to Cakes and Carbs in general to
- working out 1 class a day, 5 times a week in Nov
- a minimum of 5 hourly classes a week, some times 2 classes back-to-back in Dec
- say quit on my cake addition (it was so bad that every time i go and buy coffee for my boss, i would almost had to buy a piece of cake/ pastry of some sort and eat it.... some times they have 2 to 3 coffee a day)
- only eat natural carbs that comes from fruit and vegetables, i have eliminated as many man made products in my diet as possible (of course, i am only human, i had the "occasional" Coke Zero and CAKE and cookie and..... the list goes on)
To me, nutrition is a very important part of and new health regime, with out the right nutrition and eating habit, no matter how hard you are kicking your own butt at the gym, the results will not show. The workouts that i did in Nov were very different compare to Dec, they are mainly Cardio focus, with 2
weight training class a week.
Back in Nov, my time table was Mon, Wed and Fri = one hour class, Tue and Thu are what i call "Freestyle" where i would pounce on a
Cross Trainer (some of the pros may be calling it Elliptical trainer...)for at least 45mins on an interval program on Level 1. Take a look at the typical class i do
BodyCombat ,
BodyPump
In Dec, i added 2 hours
Spinning . I have put off Spinning till Dec, because I remembered it being VERY HARD WORK and if i stared it in Nov, it would have demotivated me. During Christmas week i turned up the heat and added 3 extra classes so that i can eat as much as i like and not feel guilty about it!!!
So i now have a minimum of 5 one hour classes a week, and I am glad that i did and added 2 hours of Spinning to my work out, it gave my body the challenge it needed.
I am glad to say that I feel fitter and stronger, but not much lighter on the scales. I have plans for something new in the new year and will be sharing that with you soon :)
I am fighting my fitness battle, are you??
Signing off now.

This is the studio, where i do my Bodypump & Bodycombat classes. Today i have done my final Bodycombat class for 2010 and it was a good feeling to know that i have managed to stick to my routine even on my day off. One extra surprise of the day is that i bumped into my friend Mr. T at the gym! I had no idea that he was a member; now he has become a target for my new year fitness challenge buddy :)
The machines.... i hope to get more use of these in 2011, don't know about you, but what i really do not like about this area is that there are many Personal Trainers (PTs) hoffering around trying to give you "advice" when frankly, you just want to be left alone!!!!
