After being lazy and not exercising for more than 6 months, I’ve finally pick up myself and get back to exercise. Before today, my exercises only involve my fingers when blogging; mouth when eating & talking; legs when shopping; and….that’s it. No more.
I was slimmer before giving birth to Justin, and due to my high metabolism, I seldom put on weight, but can still enjoy food. However, I try my best to exercise for the sack of my health. After Justin’s arrival, I’ve been more occupied and full of excuses for not exercising.
So, from today onwards, I’m gonna get myself fitter, not just slimmer, but fitter, more flexible, and healthier.
Here’s my plan:
1. Continue breastfeed: I’ve done this “exercise” for 6 months, and have lost more than 10kg of my post-natal weight. This is the most effective, cheapest, and easier weight loss method God has created for man kind.
2. Yoga: Learnt for a few months before I got pregnant, but stopped because the instructor told me to. She was not trained for yoga for pregger, so advised me to stop. Today, I went back to her class after stopping for more than a year. I felt pain when stretching my flubby arms, and my legs were shaking like hell when I lifted them up. But I won’t give up!!!! With more practise, I’ll be enjoying the class in no time! (Have to motivate / bluff myself a bit, if not already cabut!)
3. Walking: This is easier. What I need to do is just carry Justin in my arms and walk outside the house in the evening. I can exercise while spending time with him, so can kill two birds with one stone.
4. Window shopping: Come on, this is also an exercise. You think it’s easy to walk for a few hours, choosing some nice clothes, getting to the fitting room, change and walk back to the shelf and place them back? No, you need thick skin and walking! Better still if I’m in Mid Valley or KLCC, can walk for at least 3 hours before I collapse, not because of walking, but because of feeling tempted to buy but no money to spend like no tomorrow!
