Changed priorities

One of the first few fitness places I went to had an instructor who was kinda well , how do I say .....pretty cruel .

She used to take guerilla candid shots of all the attendees in her class , at their worst in the world angles , showing the whole world their most horrifying assets which should not even see the daylight , 

like the widest buttocks and the largest stomach , the most cringeworthy downright embarassing bra shot , might I add , most time s without permission , while she on the other hand , took lovely , sweet smiling selfies of herself in Beauty Shot or soft tone .

After one year

Last year finally propelled me into action because due to ageing , my weight started ballooning upwards at an accelerated speed . An extra plate of pasta made my pants feel like bursting open the next day. The weight gain was that fast !

First I tried walking it off . That did not work . Then I tried hill climbing but just as easily put back the weight again while my knees hurt like hell .

It's been one year since I embarked on a fitness schedule and I now have to grapple with a sugar craving .

Donuts , kuih , teh tarik ( no , do NOT order kurang manis for me ) , cake , swiss roll , cookies , chocolate chips oooooohhh !!!!

1 took so long

Here's how threatening and low the rain clouds looked today in Penang , however for me , I was in a rather upbeat mood .

Loose 11 , gain 3

I consider myself very lucky to be living on Penang island . The beach is a stone's throw away , the air is fresh , the street art scene is exciting and the food omg , how could I ever go back to boring again ?

No , I'm not talking about those insipid coffee , cake and tart outlets which attract out of state visitors .

I'm talking about real Penang food which we locals wolf down .

11 shed

First began my exercise regiment ( which includes twerking ) in earnest somewhere in December last year .

Been keeping to a ( by now ) 4 times a week schedule ( give and take ).
