I have been faithfully tracking the days that I have been exercising on my cross trainer and I have expanded my workout to include a little strength training with weights. I used to be very conscious of my big arms (my wedding photographer had to resort to hiding my HUGE arms with the veil) and had stopped using dumbbells for a while. However, I realised that my arm still did not go down in size and since there is no way on earth that I would be reed-thin like those ah-lians who walk down the streets, I might as well go for a healthier and lean look.
I still have a long, long way to go in terms of trimming down my tummy but the rest of my body is firming up a little and I have also begun to feel a little better about myself. I have been putting in 30min on the cross trainer (albeit without any resistance) for about a week plus or so.
I counted the weeks that I have been staying on the machine and this is the 7th week. Come next week, according to my HoD (PE), I would have made exercising a habit and hopefully a part of my life.
Now, I just need to be more disciplined with my diet. Though I have been trying to cut down on carbs, I must admit that I have not experienced much success. The past week being back in school didn't help much because carbs have always been a great source of comfort food to me and everyone here knows how much comforting I need during the school week.
One more week then and I shall start varying the resistance on my machine. :)
