In order not to stress myself out this time around, I avoided fitness mags for now (always had those lying on my desk)but reading blog sites during my 'rest' times (when Im sick of graphics) kinda felt like a pinch, but is needed so I dont really left myself out TOTALLY.

Okay, what the hell did I just wrote...

My colleague brought up the topic of joining the Crossfit gym once again (we went for trial), which I would in a heartbeat, but judging from the crazy life in this business, the distance of the gym itself and how the journey can be time-consuming, the inefficiencies and laziness of SOME writers resulting in my lack of control of workload coming in, it doesnt seem like a good thing for me to enter. Furthermore, I still dont own a personal vehicle, and to use the family car for my personal gain is not a thing I am comfortable with, I can only gave him a sad "no". Urgh!

I am crossing my fingers and hoping that this Crossfit thing will get more popular in Malaysia, that more of this type of gyms will open up (SOON I hope) and one will be opening soon nearby my workplace. I really think that this trend will grow, and hell yeah I do not mind jumping on the bandwagon when everybody are on it. Right now, its still the "underground, cool thing." I hope this will grow... PLEASE! Back then when I joined a gym, this fitness fever have not plagued Malaysians and I am proud as hell that I did not join a gym because its a "trend" and for the pursuit of vanity, but for the sole purpose of warding off sickness that "fat" and "calories" might invite to invade this 'temple' of mine.

Im still thinking whether to stay at my current gym or switch to another one. The current gym im in is a no frill, non-fancy gym that is located slightly out of my work-to-home route. The other gym is a famous brand that happens to be in the route of my work-to-home-to-work route, and it has showers!

I hate contracts, I hate being tied to something, I hate huge fees, I hate fuss over freezing accounts, I hate to compete with workout wear (I dont wear fancy stuff while working out, a t with shorts will do), I hate many people (duh) and I hate embracing changes (erm... so much for being an I-dont-care-what-people-say person). Thats what the new gym is all about.

I hate no showers, I hate the slightly longer distance and out of the way route, I hate lack of equipments, I hate short operating hours and I hate how far, hidden and secluded it is. These are some problems that my current gym is providing me.

Im not done comparing though. There are tons of other factors too. I hate decision making.

*I loss some more mass. But not the belly part. Wtf?

*Cant wait to get away from KL and off to Bangkok for some shopping and peace of mind.

*Cant wait for Raya to end, so I can stop my suffering of seeing food-filled-with-fat galore in front of me and fighting the urge of wanting to gobble them down.

Nothing to update actually.

I want to hit the gym real bad right now (cant take the workout-less days anymore) but i'll wait for for fasting month to finish before continuing my normal routine of work, workout, sleep.

Enjoying the fasting season right now. And big thanks to the dates (as in the dried, thumb-sized, sweet fruits) for providing energy. It amazes me how the sugar in it kept me energized throughout the day.

Got hit with bad food poisoning days before the first day of Ramadhan and with it came a not-so-consistent fever later that stretched all the way till the third day of fasting month. But I did not skip my fasting. Woohoo.

Am proud to say that i am able to control what i stuff my mouth with during the break of fast and also during sahur (like super early breakfast). I dont do supper but i allow myself to eat only fruits, nuts in small quantity or peanut butter (the one with choc stripes, hehe), when i feel hungry. If not ill just down glasses of water.

I think light stretching and pilates / yoga is doable prior to breaking the fast, since the the staff were given permission to chow back home at 5 instead of the usual 6. But i cant promise myself that ill do it daily. "Buka Puasa" invites are now pouring in. So will see how.

I feel good.

*I dont feel bad eating one huge slice of Secret Recipe Choc cake after an hour of dinner yesterday (celebrated my friend's birthday) but feels super bad for allowing myself to join him and his other friends for a mamak session, simply because im pretty much the only one who doesnt smoke and the place we sat at was packed as hell. I was actively secondhand-smoking yesterday. I guess its fine since mamak sessions are not something i frequently do.

*A collegue told me i got huge. Ah, wardrobe wonders!

*Sneezing = relief
