Just when I am starting to ponder about my health and my weight, I won a hamper of Kellogs Special K from a radio contest. I really have a lucky streak with radio contests as I have some things from it since last year.
So what’ll do with a hamper of Kellogs Special K? There’s this [...]

Fit or Fat Friday: I’m at my heaviest
I’ve blown it. I almost died when I saw the scale stopped at my heaviest weight ever. I’m embarrassed about it but I’m going to talk about it, address this weight issue anyway.
I stopped going to the gym when we flew to Japan for vacation. July 31, 2008 was my last day at the gym. [...]

running around the neighborhood
I woke up at 5:15 am today to start my new routine. I figured out that exercising after work is difficult for me. I didn’t renew my gym membership after coming back from my summer vacation because the fees have gone up unreasonably. I thought, I would just jog around and do stretches/weights at home.
My fitness [...]

Panting, yes, but worth it
I started running again and as usual, it felt good. Not while I was running but after. The after run wonderful feeling should remind me to do this regularly.
I began the Couch to 5K program last night, choosing an empty parking pavement space near our apartment building. It would have been lovely to jog in [...]

I’m running again, seriously this time
I have decided.
I am joining the Dubai Marathon and I’m telling the whole world - at least shamelessly revealing to people about my plan to run. And I am serious but don’t be. I don’t plan to run the full marathon. No, I don’t have the guts to kill myself yet, either by exhaustion or [...]

fitness sabotage
This is the time of the year when temperatures soar up to 123F here in Dubai. I workout in the gym but what’s the temperature got to do with it, since I’m working out indoors? Nothing, so I thought too. But after doing my gym time, I take a shower and that’s when the hellish [...]

Fat Ticker Friday Week #5
This is the final week for The Summer of Me challenge. How am I compared to 5 weeks ago? After incorporating variety in my fitness program in the form of the hundred pushups challenge, I feel stronger and more confident. Hey, who knew I could pump up 20 consecutive pushups in one go? Certainly not [...]

Fat Ticker Friday Week #4
This week would have been quite a bore if not for the hundred pushups challenge. I didn’t go to the gym last Saturday because of a headache. How could I run when the throbbing pain increases even if I walk?
Sunday: I went and did my usual cardio training with high intensity interval in the treadmill. [...]

100 Pushup Challenge: Week 2, Day 3
Just because I have skipped posting about the hundred pushups challenge doesn’t mean I have missed out on it. Today’s the end of my 2nd week challenge and I was able to do 5 sets of 5, 5, 4, 4, 10 pushups, in that order with 60 seconds break between the sets. Day 3 says [...]

Fat Ticker Friday Week #3
This week was really crap, fitness wise, I mean. I went to the gym last Saturday and all went well. I went home with a clearer and stronger motivation to be on track but hey, motherly duties called.
On Sunday, my darling daughter got really sick and has to be rushed to emergency at 4 am [...]
