To end it all?

Once again, I am very tempted to end my blog. To start with, how many people actually read it? Not that many.

Then I look through all my old entries and hit me once again that I have recorded my thoughts and beliefs for the past 2 years or so, it would be such a pity if I end were to end it all… all else fails, I can always read my own blog.

Ha.

So, I’ve just joined Planet Fitness last week. After 1 year of consideration, I have finally decided to pay the exorbitant fees to use a few pieces of gym equipment and hopefully to lose some pounds and tone some muscles.

Why the sudden enlightenment, you may ask?

Well… Last Saturday, I had to attend a wedding dinner and I had my wardrobe all planned out days earlier before the actual dinner. From the dress, to the earrings, to the clutch bag, to the type of shoes, to my eye make-up. I had it all sorted out.

Until I realized that I could not fit into the god damned dress! Cannot even zip it up. Even after sucking in my breath! Sigh, so sad.

So, I had to find another dress at the very last minute.

After the wedding dinner, I joined Planet Fitness immediately on the following Monday.

In fact, my body is aching all over right now, especially my thighs and calves. I went for the “Cyclo” class yesterday for the very first time, thinking “Aiyah, how hard can riding a bike be?” Since I run at least 8 km every week, I should be quite fit right?

Yeah right. I nearly fainted after the class. Woah… talking about a workout session manz.
My knees buckled after I got off the stationary bike and I am now walking around like “stick figure” as my legs are so, so sore.

So now that I have a reality check, I’ve decided to go for this “Cyclo” class every week until my legs stop cramming after each session. Guess that will take a while though…

Hopefully in time to come, I will be a lean, mean fighting machine. Not that I wana fight anyone lah. ;p

Hey Jean

I don't think you should end your blog, I read it, the only thing I would suggest is to spice it up a little bit

When you were in New York, you were talking about the city and about the bars and all of that, now you can talk about Singapore which I'm sure is a very exciting and vibrant place as well!!!

Cheers
