Its a new year and as always, overthinking again. I wanted to write my entry to this season's essay writing contest but ended up not writing until now. The long break made me think how I've been getting along with improving my fitness. I had a wake up call around September last year when I was having terrible headaches that paracetamol can't fix. Then remembered I had been a terrible patient of hypertension. Took my wrist BP monitor and got a 160/100. I may have been missing drinking my meds. >.<
Anyway, while this is a horrible case of bad patient not drinking meds - I wanted to make it better with sleep, diet and exercise. Set my alarm to sleep and wake up. Ordered monthly subscription from Diet-in-a-Box (which by the way tastes like resto food, so you will not feel you are in a diet at all). Now playing badminton every Sunday too for at least 4 hours, then 3x in the gym every week. To no surprise, holidays is to pig out and so I did! Before all the gluttony I was already 160 lbs, but when I weighed myself today, I gained 10 lbs that fast in 2 weeks.
And so all the guilt sank in and this picture at the bottom is me after 1 hour running on the threadmill and doing all the machines in the gym aimlessly in light weight compared to what I can now lift. I just wanted to burn a lot. When I got home, I weight myself and lost 2 lbs. But I guess it was because I was starving myself the whole day - which is a very bad idea.
Can't explain my hunger then. Next thing I know, I finished a tub of spaghetti from a workmate. Even if I sleep better, eat healthier and exercise more - I really need to work on my self-control. Whenever I see food on the table and it's just me, everything is going down.
