CRUNCHES AND LOVING IT!

I saw this guy (Wu Chun's cousin - almost the same look as Wu Chun but only bigger and muscular) using this abs-crunching machine since the last school term holidays started. I went to the gym almost every day during the holiday and sometimes twice a day. Every time I was there this particular guy only came for the abs-crunching machine and doing it for one and sometimes two hours. He started with a little bulge (so I noticed...) and after almost three weeks.... viola!!!... no more bulge... Last week I dared myself asking him and he said he has been doing it for almost 6 months and he actually started with a little pot-belly. He got me inspired and for almost one week now, apart from running, spinning, weight-training, abs-blast and fit-ball classes I have also incorporated an hour of crunching using the same machine he uses....

And after almost one week...... here's the result:

I WISH ..... This would be a bonus but a flatter one is what I am aiming for right now.....

MY VERY OWN OLYMPIC RUN....

Due to unavoidable circumstances, I did not get to run the Olympic run this morning despite my preparation for it. But I did my own 10K a few hours ago at FZ and manage to finish my run in 68 minutes.... (Reminiscing: Used to do it in under 50 minutes before my injury few years back).... I am hoping to be able to run 10K in under one hour again .... I am working on it.... BTW I would like to congratulate my running blogging friend, Reza for finishing this morning's run in under one hour... Well done bro! Keep up the good work......

NO SPINNING MARATHON

I decided and made up my mind not to take part in this year's spinning marathon.......

TO SPIN OR NOT TO SPIN?

FZ is going to hold another 3 hours spinning marathon next week.... So now, to spin or not to spin?

MY VERY OWN SONY WALKMAN

Placed my order at QQestore few days ago and got it this afternoon.... Can't wait to use it at the gym tomorrow.....

Today's workout at FZ consists of an hour weight training with James followed by an hour running on the treadmill covering almost 10K..... short by 300m.... will try again tomorrow....

I am so very nervous about next week.....

14TH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY

Today is my 14th wedding anniversary. Time surely flies.... As if it was yesterday. How does it feel? Honestly.... I feel like how I felt 14 years ago.... except that my love for my wife grows as time passes-by... I can't begin to imagine living without her.... Any changes? Hmmm .... For what I can recalled, I was never a romantic person... and I think I still am not one romantic person... and I don't think I will ever be... lets keep it that way.... I am glad my significant other understands this....


I saw this on TV just now..... it is an excellent running companion.... Anybody can tell me where I can get this?

On other matter..... I ran 9K in one hour today..... I am repeating this again: I AM VERY VERY GLAD AND HAPPY TO BE ABLE TO RUN AGAIN..... the goal now is to run 10K in one hour... I am very sure I can do this.... wait and see.....

To date my weight is still 86Kg................

BIGGEST LOSER SEASON 4

Just for my inspiration.... He is Bill, the winner of the Biggest Loser season 4................

I went to FZ after my practical classes. Today I ran for one hour and covered a total of 9K..... the speed range was between 8.2 to 11.5KPH................

Went to see the principal this morning and she told me that I might be going either this week or next week..... It all depends on Ratni... If she chooses to come back to MS within these two weeks then I will be out.... but most likely she is not going to come back to MS.... I can understand why but I really hope she will..... If within these two weeks she is not back, then I will have to wait for another replacement..............

MAY BE....

I have been an avid fan of Adidas products especially their running shoes.... I saw somebody using the following this morning..... I like.... I might get one .... *wink*....

On other matter, I went to FZ this morning. I did 3K (in less than 21 minutes) before Ferdie's cycling class. I did another 3K after the class..... the second 3K I did it in less than 20 minutes (19 minutes 55 seconds)....... (A reminder to myself: few years ago before the injury, I used to do 3K in under 15 minutes..... )

RUNNING AGAIN (500TH POST)

I started running again two days ago. Its a feeling I cannot describe... I am so very happy to be able to run again .... without pain. Two days ago I ran 8K in one hour..... yesterday I ran 8.5K for the same duration of time.... and today I was up to 9K.......

The burning sensation (due to lactic acid accumulation) in my calves is gone already.... I hope it will be for good................

To date I am still 87Kg ..... but happy about it....... I am not in a hurry anyway.... I don't want to lose weight too much and too fast too soon......... :)

87

Went to FZ and did a one hour run on the treadmill.... I covered 8K in one hour... not as good as it used to be.... but at least I can run again.... without pain!

As of today I am down to 87Kg..... 12 to go......

88

As of today I am down to 88Kg...........13 more to go........

Starting tomorrow I will be doing 4 PT sessions instead of the usual 3.....

And James is now like applying what he watched on Biggest Loser..... He is like physically torturing me... I can't be thankful right now.... may be later.......

ANOTHER RUNNING SHOES

Bought myself another pair of running shoes today coz I love my megabounce so much that I don't want it to worn out too soon. Starting from today I will use my two running shoes alternately ..... This adidas exerta is superb......

To date I am down to 89Kg......... If I can do it one kg per week.... that would be great......

ALHAMDULILLAH

Yes.... I am fully recovered. It was only yesterday that I was sick to the max..... Today I went to FZ and joined the one hour cycling class. After the class I used the treadmill and managed to run 6K non-stop.... It was a comfortable run... After the run I did some weights focusing only on the legs. Went home after that and washed 2 of the three cars.... one more car to go.... too tired... may be tomorrow..................

STARTING ALL OVER AGAIN!!!... YET AGAIN!!!

I went to FZ today for my training session with James. I have been abandoning my training session for more than a month now since the school reopened. Before the training I got to run on the treadmill using my new MEGABOUNCE (8K in around 55 minutes.....) Simply superb!!!!..... Today's training focused on the upper body and the legs.... and instead of the usual 2 sets (25 reps per set), it was offically increased to 3 sets (30 reps per set).... CRAAAZZZZZYYYYYYY!!!... James was trying to kill me... To top it up, the resting time between intervals was shorten.... but all in all it was tiring but FUN.... Hope this time I can disciplined my self to do my training at least 4 times a week........

EXERCISE WHILE FASTING

I never sweat because of exercising during the fasting month until today. I do sweat during the fasting month but all because of house chores. So today, two plus hours before "sungkai" I went to the gym for Miko's one hour cycling class at 4.30pm. I must admit that I did feel dizzy during the first few minutes but after that it was ok. Throughout the whole one hour, I must say that the driest part of my body was my throat. "It" was screaming for water. But all in all the session was ok. My cycling friends were asking if today session was the first and the last...... NOPE... I am coming back people... So my plan now is to cycle every Fridays, Sundays, Mondays and Wednesdays during this fasting month....

A PAINFUL RUN

Just came back from FZ. That was ONE very painful run. Like I am meant not to run ever again. Though I managed to run non-stop for one hour 15 minutes but the distance covered was only 8.5K. And after the run my right knee was killing me..... and I have to drag my right leg to walk to the car...... Is this IT? The END? Well lets see.... I will run again this afternoon and from there I will decide whether I should continue running or not......

YET ANOTHER ONE!

Yes... that's right.... I just came back from FZ. Went there for another run... I started with a 20 minutes walk, followed by a 5K run (35 minutes 24 secs) and ended the session with another 20 minutes walk.... Will try to run 5K in under 30 minutes.... Yes, that's my goal.......

RUNNING AGAIN

I stopped running many months ago due to spine injury. Currently I am bored with cycling... so just this morning I went to FZ and started to run again... Not a good run but at least good enough after not doing it for many months... In a way cycling helps to improve my stamina and because of this I was able to run non-stop for one hour 10 minutes and with this duration of time I was able to cover a distance of 8K.... (Just for my record: I used to cover a distance of 12 to 13K with the same duration).... NICE TO BE BACK.... Hopefully no injury what so ever will hinder my passion for running......

PS:
For those who keep on reminding me about my weight.... Thank you but its annoying you know... You think I am not aware about it...... Please put it to a STOP.... As if I need to be reminded... At least I am doing something about it though improvement is not shown yet....
