Time to Exercise Again!
In my previous entry some time early this year, I blogged about my experience in gym. Well, I have to confess, that I’ve not step into the gym for the past 2 months. My goal of separating my all-in-one pack into six different packs effectively when down the drain.
Being my defensive self, I wanted to justify my reasons. Too much late working hours, busy schedule, etc. But deep down I know I’m just plain lazy.
Recently, the papers have been advertising new supplements that help remove those unsightly bulges and flabs. Bear in mind that I don’t have any flabs whatsoever on me. It’s just that most fat seem to like to congregate around my tummy area.
Back to the adverts. I always envy those people who have a fit body and it seem to come to them so effortlessly while I have to slave myself to gain it. I also got challenged by my 60+ year old uncle from the States when he told me that he too has enrolled in a gym and is now fitter and healthier than me. That caused a dent on my ego.
Last week, while having lunch with my colleagues, my project director asked me if I’m still attending gym.
“Yes I do“, I lied.
“Then why isn’t there any difference? You still look the same.”
Ouch! Another dent on my ego.
So I made a new resolution to frequent the gym again. However, I know a guy like me has no discipline whatsoever when it comes to hard labour like this so I decided to get a personal trainer. Unfortunately, after looking at my finances, I can only afford the cheapest trainer, my own discipline self.
I have you know that going to gym is not as easy as just stepping in and start working out. For a guy like me, the lazy kind, it’s like asking me to climb Mount Kinabalu. Okay, I’ve climbed Mount Kinabalu before but I had motivation then. Now, I’m doing this all alone. You tend to have more motivation when there’s someone to go with you. But unfortunately I don’t go with just anybody. Preferably some I know. Why? Shy la…
So I’m back to square one. How la like that? It did not help when my dear uncle from the US of A gloated to me that now he can see signs of a six pack, biceps and triceps from his workout. I told him that I too am going to the gym. His reply was simple,
“See to believe. Send pictures!”
The nerve of that guy!
So I’m making a new resolution to go back to gym frequently again. I will start attending gym every Tuesdays and Thursdays morning before I go to work. I will get my six pack before the year comes to an end.
By hook or by crook.
That is after I get my workout shoes. The soles of my current one has came off. No, it’s not an excuse. It’s a fact. So shut up.
By the way, I’m attending Fitness First at Summit, USJ. Say hi if you see me.
