That number

I am just happy :)
The number on the weighing scale kept decreasing, even if it is just 0.1 but it is constantly decreasing. My clean eating definitely pay off. Still a very long journey but it makes me feel motivated now. I hope I can continue being this discipline.

Like the trainer said, you did well for 1 week .. do it for another week and see how it goes.
Starting point - 70.2
present - 68.1

I know it's a loooong way to head back to the good old 44 kgs, but I will get there!

Random

Just a random post close to end of Jan ...

*shivers* the end of the 1st month is coming and instead of losing, I gained weight!! but nevermind, I still have 10 days to fix it :D

So apparently one friend saw me in the gym and suggested that we go to the gym together one day. This might sound bad, but I am keen to do so; I am hoping to expand my social network again and I hope she could be a stepping stone for that. I have been spending weekends at home as I have nothing to do and no one to hang out with :(.
After the friends left, I didn't make an effort to make new ones until I am no like this ... home alone. Well honestly, I actually made an effort to join this and that .. but I didn't realize it in the end, partly because of the body - I lack confidence after gaining this much weight. I need to fix this!

On another note ...
Met my usual lunch partner last week and she told me about another friend's personal life. A friend who used to call me 'mom'. A friend who was closed to me once, but somehow we became apart because of some incident and also another person, indirectly. I was very disappointed to be honest, I am still if I can be very honest. But I keep telling myself 'so what?' What makes her so special that it affects me this much? As I have been telling people, the best revenge is to be happy, and I too have to be happy.
And that other person? only today she contacted me to 'complain'. And I know she did that because no one is around for her. It's okay ..  do whatever you like, I'll be happy no matter what. Happiness attracts everything good and I aim for that now.
See how my determination landed me the job and the salary I wanted; so now I will focus in achieving what I want in life and be damn about everything else.

Weight. Man. House - in that order ...
now let's work hard to achieve them all .. in 2016, early 2017 for the last one

A brand new start - 2016

It's already a new year and I am spending it in bed :D
today I'll be a bump, tomorrow I'll start my shopping, I'll start preparing on Sunday and come Monday? full head on! I need to lose at least 2kgs before my training session starts on 11th Jan.


Now that it is 2016, here is my goal :-
  1. Lose weight
    I am committed to this and will update the progress every month. Today I am 69.3 kgs again :'(
  2. Running
    I will start with slow jog, or maybe even brisk walking; I should get a new pair of shoes too now that the old one is used for gym
  3. Savings
    I've burnt some of the saving to pay for my bills; so from the next pay onwards I have to save properly now that the bill is gonna be done soon
  4. Reading
    read more drama less; challenging myself to reading 12 books this year.
  5. Travelling
    Not going to not do any travelling because of my savings plan, but will be more selective and more discipline in the budget for travelling. I have decided to let go of the plan to travel during lunar new year and just go home instead - save money and also, meet the parents
  6. Parents
    Make them happy!
    I have yet to fulfil their dreams of seeing me getting hitched. I can't decide on this, seriously! but until this happen I aim to make them happy in other ways. I know they are happy with the Dubai trip; unfortunately, I couldn't bring them somewhere far this year because I need to save money. I will still bring them somewhere nearby and be responsible for their travelling expenses. I don't need to beg my siblings nor do I want my parents to do that .. I will take care of them myself
  7. Computer
    I seriously need to invest in a better computer, equipped with the licensed software. Maybe then I can start looking for a freelance job? I noticed there are a few out there, unfortunately I don't have the proper license to even come out with a proposal :|
    This will be my target in Q2, shall I achieve my targeted savings that is
This is my 2016 goal .. for now
I will revisit each item in the beginning of next month!
