NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS 2014

2013 has been quite a monotonous year for me. It seems to me that it is the saddest year that I have went through so far. Although there are definitely good and fun things that happen, I can only remember the negative ones.  So, for 2014, I must make it happier and more eventful. I have never did a new year resolutions before but I will do one this year so as to make myself feel that I have done something good this year. 

NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS 2014

1) Complete a half-marathon.

         ONGOING. Manage to run 15 km recently. Will definitely join a half-marathon next year. Probably Sundown marathon. 

2) 10 km timing to be under 60 min.

         ONGOING. Recently my pace is up to 6.20 min per hour. 

3) Reduce weight to less than 55 kg and lose the stomach and inner thighs. Also, fat percentage to be less than 20% because I want abs!! And be more flexible. 

          ONGOING. Refer to my previous posts.

4) Increase my social circle. 

         ONGOING. Went to a touch rugby meetup and will be going for another meetup this Saturday and next Friday. 

5) Backpacking/diving/hiking overseas.

6) Family holiday to HK or beach country (eg. Boracay, Phuket, Koh Samui, Bali, Langkawi)

7) Beautify skin especially on my face. 

           ONGOING. Since very long ago. 

8) Have job satisfaction.

Just saw a video by the Fung Brothers from Youtube with regards to New Year Resolutions where they said it sucked (how ironic). True that we nowadays have a lot of distractions around us that will bring us away from our goals so we have to be more mindful and keep our goals always in sight. Eg. we can print a copy out and read it every night or just tattoo it on yourself (just kidding k?). 

Anyways, the video is linked below for those who are interested. HAPPY 2014 TO ALL!

Day 14: 2 Weeks down!

It has been 2 weeks after I have started on this 99 Day Plan. Honestly, I have not seen any weight drop at all but I do feel like I became lighter and cleaner (if this makes any sense to you). One thing that I am quite happy is that my humongous thighs has dropped about half an inch. YEAH! This is probably due to my exercises like running and muscle toning. Hopefully, I can see some losses in my tummy area soon. 

For the next week, what I will do to increase my intensity is to put in 5 - 10 minutes of exercises before going to work and when I reached home after work everyday. Exercises may include push-ups, crunches and lunges (with variations). This will boost my metabolism and keep my heart and lungs moving especially in the morning. Also, it can provide my body with energy to kickstart my day.

And today is the last day of school for all primary school children. How I wish that I am back in school now that I have started working. I want to go to a holiday. I remembered during my school holidays, I went to Genting! It was so fun! I want to go back there again! When doing my research on Genting, I found out they have many new things that I have never seen before when I was there. For girls out, they have actually a late night shopping at their First World Hotel which opens from 10am to 1am during this holiday period of 9 November to 31 December. This is so exciting. The link to shopping is this http://www.rwgenting.com.sg/en/shopping/index.htm

Not only their shopping, they have their awesome theme park which seems so much better than the one in the past. Coincidentally, First World Hotel is the hotel that I stayed in when I went Genting. It seems to have so much more facilities now. I want to take leave to go there!

Anyone want to go there with me? =D

Day 5: Core toning

Source

What is sexier then toned and flat abs? To achieve this, the core area must be strengthened. The core area not only includes the tummy area as many people may think so. The core area actually includes the waist, stomach, hips, butt and the thighs. 

Like most of the Asian females, I am also much more bulkier around my core area especially my thighs which make it very difficult for me to find good fitting jeans. Whenever the thighs fit nicely, the waist area will be too loose. Therefore, I started to look for ways to tone my core and I found this video on Fitsugar which teaches a few exercises to tone and strengthen the core area.

I will try to do a few of these exercises everyday. Do join me in doing this exercises become more fit and toned.

Bye!
