Boxercise

This morning I went to the gym and met up with my friend Gemma. We did the Boxercise class. It wasn't a very big class today. It was our first time. I didnt know what to think at first. We had to buy these really daggy white gloves that made both of us look like mimes. Those gloves can get a little sweaty. Ewwww.

It was a good class and I think I might do it every Thursday. Theres nothing like taking out your frustrations by punching and sweating for 45 minutes.

Whateverrrrrr

This morning at the station I was minding my own business, when a tall dude tapped me on the shoulder.

Tall Dude - "Hi, You know if you were taller I would ask you out"
Me - " Well hi there if you were 4'11 I would still say No if you asked me out"

How random is that. What a doosh bag. As if you would go up to a girl at exactly 5:20am and say that. I guess if he looked like Wentworth Miller I would have said yeah uhuh. But he looked more like the actor that played Hell Boy. So no thanks.

Hard Yakka

So this morning I woke up at 3:45am. I snoozed for another 15 minutes and I was up and ready for the day. I went to the gym. I joined this womens health club which is fantastic. I normally exercise at home but I found that being at home can be boring and I wanted to be pushed to my limits. I also joined because I knew I would feel comfortable being in my daggys and not worrying about some hot guy walking past and seeing me sweat. Not that I care. As if they would look at a fat round thing like me anyway.

I made a commitment to myself this year to be the healthiest that I can be. I've lost some weight but Im still not happy about my progress. There are so many weddings, christenings and birthdays. I try to eat less but being Filipino you kinda get a lot of "why you not eating, you should eat". Im trying as hard as I can and my fitness has improved a great deal which is cool.

I wish I had the same metabolism as Jessica Alba sometimes. I wish I was as pretty as her too. But I guess I just have to put up with what God gave me. I have a diary that helps me through the hard times. I write what I eat and I can see a pattern of when I eat the most.

Reading books I find help a lot too. I went out and bought AJ Rochester's book "The Lazy Girls Guide To Losing Weight And Getting Fit". She has some great tips and she is really honest about everything that she went through while she lost the weight. If in case you all dont know who AJ is. She is actually the host of the biggest loser. She rocks and she is one of my motivators. Go out and get her book its a good read.

The Wedding

On Saturday I went to the wedding of two of my closest friends Christine and Ronald. The ceremony was at the Chinese Gardens. I was running a little late so I missed most of the ceremony. Damn traffic....

Christine looked gorgeous in a baby pink dress. Ronald had a smile from ear to ear. It wasn't your traditional wedding (which I prefer). Chris had a brides man instead of your standard bridesmaid. The reception was at the Rydges Jamison. It was a really nice hotel and the function room was really big. I dont normally cry much at weddings but I must say this one made me cry.

One of our friends at work sang a song for the newlyweds. Anna is one of the best singers I know and she learnt a song in Mandarin. How amazing is that. She sang Coco Lee's "A Love Before Time". I had chills when she started to sing. I looked at the Bride and she was crying. My brother gets married soon and I thought oh yeah just another wedding. Now Im kinda dreading the tears and the smudgy make up.
