It had been a While

The last time I went to the gym must've been before Ramadan last year. I had been slacking even though the gym was just a lift ride away.

I was early to get back home this afternoon and decided rather than go out, I hit the gym instead. I only lasted half an hour - which what I planned twice a week from now on. And now I was suffering.

My whole body ached. Especially my thighs. Now I had to do this more often and then build my stamina for a bit of a run in the future. Knees seemed to be holding which was great. Twice a week. Promise.

Back to the Gym

Since leaving UM, I have gained weight. I'm talking proper weight gain here. 8 kg in the last 6 months or so. Even my kids called me fat!

I thought about joining a gym, but just couldn't cope with the commitment. And since our new apartment has got a nice gym, I decided to give that a go. After all, it won't cost me anything. There is also a separate gym with trainers. but that would cost a bit with a personalised trainer and one-to-one session with planning. Can't do that!

So, for the past couple of weeks, I decided to hit the gym every Mondays and Thursday - work permitting of course. It had been going OK. Burning them calories, but it has yet to show.

By he end of the year, I plan to at least compete in a 10k run. So, would have to pace myself back in again .....

Adidas It Was

The Malays called this "langkah kanan", which literally translated to "right foot forward". What it meant was an unexpected luck.

I planned to get myself some gear for the gym early and ended up looking for them at Pavilion. While walking around, I came across a promotion right at the main walkway. Adidas was apparently promoting their new line of sneakers and was giving away vouchers, valid only for the day.

So, I might as well use those vouchers then .... RM 80 off my gears ...
