Ok I’m calorie counting…

Damn, just saying that makes me feel so feminine!  Well, damn it, so what if I am, I know guys who go for facial, so does it really matter if I took a bit of time to make sure I eat right?  Perhaps now that I’ve put it that way, it doesn’t sound too wrong.  Actually there isn’t anything wrong with it.  Challenge whoever of you who says it does.

Yeah, I’ve been on this fitness regime lately… if you’ve not read my last blog entry here!

Well, the calorie thing started when I began having to count how much I was eating… and watching "The Biggest Loser" did strike it in further into my mind and soon enough, all I was thinking was that.. "How can I take less…?"… Mind you, if I’ve never learnt to count before, I sure learnt to do so quickly.

Imagine counting calories in your head, as a "humpty-dumpty" of a waiter stands looming above you staring down at you moving your lips trying to get the numbers right.

Well, after a month, nowadays when it comes to counting calories, I can smugly smile and pretend like I’m an expert. 

Well, when people say it isn’t easy… I think it’s half-true.  It isn’t, of course when you start counting but once you get your subconcious to go a long with it, your body seems to be directed by your subconcious to go towards healthy low-calorie stuffs and move away from calorie laden items.

Wow… did I just sound like a health junkie?  … I hope I did, cause nowadays, that’s something to be proud about.

The calorie thingy gets strike in further at the gym where the cardio machines all have calorie counters.  Last Sunday (yesterday) I had to endure the push of a mad man, to go for 450 calories burnt in 30 minutes… Well, he broke that barrier… (not to say that I was a virgin on the treadmill lah… hehehe…) but it certainly shown me that I was only held back by my mental beliefs.

Anyway, I just had 2 pieces of 90kcal (each) popiah this morning and combined with a 350kcal lunch of chicken rice (half the rice), a couple of low-cal fresh fruit slices, and I’m already anticipating reservations for dinner…

…safe to say, I think I’m already waist deep in this wonderful form of health awareness… so laugh at me all you like, suckers,… cause I’m in a quest for health!

Sometimes when you are down, when motivation seems to escape you, you wonder what is there to keep you going.  I wonder… it’s times like this which I think we focus too much on the current.  Too much on what is happening at the moment and all the things that weigh heavily on ourselves.

It has been a while since I’ve sat down comfortably at a cafe and tapped a few words in my blog.  Today, a Saturday seems like the perfect day to do it. It’s interesting how being back at gym, springs out other forms of enjoyment.  Well, for one, my normal routine after gym would be [...]

If you knew me well, you’d probably heard me saying this a lot of times, and yes, I bow down to your cynical remarks that I’ve been more talk than walk…
Well, the "trend" is back again.  I guess it’s more than just a trend this time.  Where last time, it was about getting in shape [...]

If I learnt anything from playing those strategy games is that you need to make money or resources before you can build more things that make you more money!  Well, I sometimes wonder why it couldn’t be as simple as that in reality… having my iPhone and checking my total finances every hour or so [...]

When we got there, we found this nice little patch of place with new shop and office block… greeted first by [...]

You don’t normally hear my talking a lot about music.  And even if you did, it’s usually what you may consider sappy jazz numbers or cliched tunes from famous house/electro numbers…  Not that I have any problems with being sappy or cliched.
Well, [...]

Valentine’s Day.
First allow me to say that I did not watch "Valentine’s Day" on Valentine’s Day… Hehehe… If my wife had been around, I would be busy with my own love induced dramatisation of Valentine’s Day… too busy to be reliving the lives [...]
