Keeping fit

Been exercising really diligently first time in my life, funny though. I was slim but now I am overweight, so it's time I get myself back into shape. My journey of growing fat surprisingly took shorter time than I imagined. I started sports since I was in primary 3, and I stopped when I was in form 5. I was not good in athletics, so I played ball! So far I represented school in netball, handball and basketball, and the time I indulged the most was in handball. I had no diet or weight managing problems of course, because I practised a lot, and eventually I was trim and lean. Not to mention when it was gaming season, I usually practised 4-5 hours a day. I didn't realise my potential of weigh gaining until I stopped participating the activities. I gained 10 kilos when I was in form 5 preparing for my SPM, and before getting into USM I gained another 5 kilos.

I never cared about my weight since I never need to, but judging at all the weight I had gained I began to give it some serious thought. I had not only been gaining weight, I had lost the muscles and shape I owned for granted for so many years. The transition of my lifestyle from highly-active to sedentary had had its effects on me. What makes the situation worse is that I am a VERY lazy person, and I wouldn't even budge an inch if it is not necessary. Some more I hated sports that I have to do ALONE, that means all those jogging and hitting the gym does not suit me, All in all I have excuses for not exercising, and all those excuses contributed to my weight. haha.

I had forced myself to wake up earlier in the morning and did aerobics. I don't know if it worked or not since I have just started for a month, and been excusing myself for quite a couple of days because of the muscle pains. But seeing others succeed in it makes me want to try too, and it is certainly better than not doing anything. My muscles ache a lot and protest a lot, but I must persist. Just hope that I could get rid of my flabby fats here and there. 

I have set myself to work out at least three times a week. Rules are made to be broken, but I hope that I would not break this one. I have broken a lot of rules I set for myself. I don't have the courage to show you guys any evidence of my progress of fighting against my own weight, but if I got good news I would tell you. If only.

Let's hope for the best,hehe.
