Swimming & Exercising

Been feeling restless since our KK trip. guess the trip did open my eyes to say how unfit i am. vow to lose some handles when we climbed the mountain... the extra weight ain't helping us and i really pity my knees for supporting the amount of weigh it has to carry. What did we do when we reached KL... have a big makan feast and promise to look into this matter next week.

For the past week, i have been wanting to play more sports to keep fit the natural way. 'Dieting' ain't right for me. i can't see myself without food, counting the calories, separating the carbo and the protein or different classes of food, etc. Also, having some gastrical history in my medical file which doesn't help either.

have been contemplating of joining a gym again. Don't really want to pay RM180 per month for just gym membership, yet doesn't want to travel either. Fitness First seems like a good gym in terms of its location suitability (one near my house, another near my work place) but it lacks a lot of other facilities for the price you will have to pay. I hear that even the clark hatch in pj hilton has badminton and squash court and swimming pool facilities (hotel's).

Why did i quit my fitness first membership previously? thought i'm getting cheaper alternatives like playing futsal and basketball and badminton. A 10 minutes futsal game is much more effective than my 1 hour Body Combat. however, my usual futsal kaki has mostly abandon the game like me. only 1 or 2 diehards play but they play with the boyz. nothing wrong with that except guys sweat more and smells. the good news bout playing with them... they are more courteous than the girls.

so, my current exercise regime consist of playing casual badminton on sunday evening. nothing else.

Started going for a swim in the morning this week (ok, only yesterday and today). My sis is working the 7.30am shift so it's good. however, it's been raining and my dear sis hasn't been punctual... so the most i get is about 30 mins of swim time. give and take i play in the water for 5 mins (clearing the pool so it's swimable)... i don't think i'm getting much.

have been thinking of perhaps joining a martial arts class, maybe get back to taekwondo... get my black belt. i am just 1 grade short of it.
