Shredding while on Holiday


'Alright... this is really my first time to show my photos while exercising. Hubby took some photos of me doing the 30-day Shred by Jillian Michaels. We were in Penang for 3 days and I didn't wanna miss my daily workout so I took the video with me. I forgot my sports shoes but oh well...

I am doing the level 2 here. I'm actually on my 3rd week. It's pretty obvious I do the beginners level. Level 2 is so intense... much more intense compared to level 1. I think I'm gonna have to stick to Level 2 for another week.

My progress is a bit slow. Hmmm... not really sure coz I didn't do my body measurement before I started. You think I should read quicktrim reviews instead so I would know quick way to lose weight? Or just stick to the hard way?

Hmmm... I think for now it's sticking to the hard way.

All the best me. :D

The Update

With my progress now, I think I need to buy diet pills that truly work. It seems like it's taking forever to lose weight with my weight loss regime. But then, I have to remind myself that I chose to do it the hard way. So I am sticking to what I have been doing now. It's just frustrating to see the weighing scale not budging so much.

So what's my verdict? Maybe give myself more time. I'm only on my second week of doing the 30-day Shred. Actually, my husband noticed my back. That's the first thing he said when he arrived home from his 4-day out-of-the-country trip. At least, that's sort of a motivation.

Playing Sports

Playing sports is one of the most pleasurable way of burning fats next to laughing. Not only would it help people lose weight but it also tones the muscle, promotes camaraderie and sportsmanship and also improves the agility, speed and other abilities of people. One does not have to play very intense sports like football, basketball, muay thai, or boxing to achieve these things. There are less severe sports like frisbee, netball, badminton, futsal, or volleyball that could help people to develop personal and interpersonal skills. Most of the sports listed are team sports because this helps in a human being’s self-esteem, confidence, teamwork and cooperativeness. People learn more about certain sports if they want to compete in contests. But playing friendly games with other people is more than enough to build these skills and improve one’s well-being.

Women

Women of today are different from the women of the past centuries. We have equal rights with men, at least in most countries; we can have the same education as those of men; we can own and sell property without having to ask for the consent of our husbands or fathers. But it is still difficult for women today because of another form of discrimination concerning beauty. There is a stereotype of what women should look, the color of the skin, clothes we wear, and even the kind of courses we take. There is this so called men’s world where women are seldom allowed to enter. Today, there are a lot of women who want to lose weight too much and look like models to be attractive in the eyes of other people and not because of health or self-fulfillment. I believe that we should do things to ourselves not because that is what other people dictate but because we want it.

Me, I like to lose weight and burn fats off my body. I’ve been doing some exercise with my roommates and maybe we are going to buy curvatrim to speed up the process. I know that conformity is cool but we have the freedom to choose the kind of person we want to be.

Improved Look

I am not sure whether it's from my almost regular workouts... but I notice my skin is improving too. That, or maybe my daily skin regimen does it? Whatever. I am just glad that a few people have noticed it too. I look like I have been using acnepril but actually, I haven't been doing that. Probably it has some thing to do with my exercises as I sweat a lot. That would mean the oxidants in my bodies are also being flushed out. I know there are a lot of ways to make skin better. I guess the best solution of all is to have a healthy lifestyle.
