2010 Training Session 2 (Week 2)

Man I love this pic so much! Funny stuff!!

Last week's workout totally drained me out. It was tougher than I thought but what I really liked about it is the amount of time I spend angkat berat is lesser :P . That's what you call quality over quantity, which is in my case lah.

Been to my cousin in-law's wedding in Bangi. My picture turned out showing that I'm still not as slim as I wanted my image to be. At least it has reduced to a chubby Sarah. Not the usual fatty obese looking. How I wish and of course every lady out there that the kg's would just melt away immediately as soon as I start to exercise.

I need all the patience and perseverance in the whole wide world to continue what I'm doing until I achieve my goal.

Sometimes I feel it's just too tiring to go on. Isk...

Anyways I'm going to change routine next week for two weeks. I'll update it by the end of this week.

I also found a digital scale at Guardian for RM69.90. The good news, is I can buy it! Bah, mana kau duit $$$$ Mari datang sama aku sekarang juga!!! Wahahaha!


Rajinkan diri walau terasa penat!!!!


Mon 21/6 - Done
Upper Body Workout(Chest, Biceps)

Interval Cardio  

• Cannot stand barbell training mentally. Luckily hubby's there to assist me.
• Alhamdulillah, so far so good. I have 4 straight months full cycle of menses. It hasn't happened in a long long while. Usually it will skip a month. Before that HL was helping. But each time I stopped HL due to money restraint, my period didn't come out too. I think it helps being physically active to balance my hormones. I hope this will be forever, InsyaAllah.

Shoulders Workout
Interval Cardio

• Slept around 4am last night. My son was snoring and had a tiny bit of sleep apnea. Stuffed nose... Selsema. Kesian! Had to turn him on the right side each time he pusing kiri menyebabkan the sleep apnea.
• I hope I still can complete this workout and sleep early as possible tonight.
• Lower Body exercise would be on Friday.

Wed 23/6
Interval Cardio

• One of my close friend is getting married on December in my hometown KK, Sabah. My motivation meter has gone high again. It's just that after I finished my 1st session, my motivation has gone down the drain. I don't know what to aim for. Of course I've been trying to lose this fat for years. But one must have a realistic motivation that gives me SEMANGAT. Working out without that drive is so boring.

•  Visualizing while sprinting

•  If you've read about  The Gabriel Method, it uses visualization to make people lose weight. He(Gabriel) said try to visualize yourself being chased by a predator when you sprint. It makes your body believe that it needs to lose weight because what you visualize makes your brain think that you need to lose weight in order for you to be safe from being eaten by wild animals. You're brain cannot differentiate whether what you visualize is real or not. It is what you want your brain to believe(aka visualizing) that makes a difference. 
• Okay... so I was running and the last time I tried visualizing all of the wild animals trying to chase me. Like the dino's and lions and other predators but it really didn't work out. But today I had an idea. Since zombies are so JIJIK to me, I imagined the zombies chasing me. 
• Each time I sprinted I imagined the zombies with the foul smell and ugliness tried to touch and eat me. The result: I ran faster without feeling that tired. The tiredness is there a bit but it's not the usual penat until I want to pengsan punya penat. It was soo strange. It's like imagining myself in danger made me stronger and faster. 
• Why don't you guys try it? It would make sprinting moments more fun! This coming from a lady who is so noisy when she sprints :P

Sat 26/6 - Rest Day

• Next week, new routine! Yay!
• Terribly tired today. Half day grocery shopping, then got drama in Tesco. They asked me to get money out of my visa because their card machine so slow. I wanted to argue but ppl behind me was already restless. The handsome Arab dude was already cursing Arab behind me. I  walked from one end to another to get my money out. :( Got one angry customer suddenly asking to punch in everything again so I had to wait and wait. It's not fair because she got to use her credit card. Seriously, Cold Storage Ikano has less drama!!!
• Later in the late afternoon, went to a birthday party. Isuk la ku belari ani(harhar... my failed Bruneien accent)
