the pursuit to weigh less

Today’s the last day of july..before we move into august. We’ve gone by 58% of the year already. Wow. how time flies.

I feel fat today. Been eating a lot since dym came yesterday. I am telling myself to keep my mouth closed to food until 6pm when I will have oats before tuition. I’m trying out my new PINK thermos flask which dearie gotten for me and I’ll be having instant oats and honey for a healthier change from bread. Bread is expensive ($2.40 for the usual mushroom ham loaf I have) and it’s not healthy.. I feel guilty gobbling it down before tuition..especially when I don’t exercise on the day itself.. =S

Yesterday we had our inaugural mid week runfanatic training at spe.. it was tough..at points I found myself at the brink of collapsing because I was so out of breath. But I’m thankful sham ran with me through the arduous 10sets of 150m. by the time I hit my 7^th lap, my legs were feeling much like lead. I attempted to widen my strides but found it impossible..i could only try to quicken my steps as I was struggling to even lift up my strides. Gee, I do need to work on intervals more. I believe I’ll get stronger..so I’m not giving up here.

I shall do my recovery run tomorrow morning..tonight I want to finish off the cleaning and ironing because I’ll be having lessons from fri to sun. I don’t want to tax dearie with the housework as he’s got to do his assignment too. Don’t worry baby, I’ll clean the house and whatever required, so sat you just got to help me with the laundry. =) dearie’s a gem because he always helps me with the housework when I have to study..the last time he tried to do so, he hit his foot against one of the doors and it swelled up badly. =(

I feel tired today..somehow my brain isn’t working that well.. I’ve got to go through 1.5 chapters more of stats..do the assignment for discussion tomorrow..and for work, finish most of the closing so I can breeze through the next few days. Now already feeling sleepy..jia lart. Maybe I need some tea-power…

Ahhh.. I’ve downed a big mouthful of tea and I’m feeling better already. More awake. Getting a little reliant on it but I’m popeye who need spinach power at times.

Mental note for today, I plan to finish closing by 2pm. Come out with the necessary reports and schedules. Then I want to study from 2-4pm. 4-5pm I want to attempt stats question.

During lunch I want to read my paper, read biz times and prepare a little for tuition. Wonder if I can find any interesting poems..hmm.

Tonight is tuition till 830pm. Walk home by 9pm. Clean the house and iron clothes, finish all that by 10pm. Wash up, settle in and sleep by 1030pm.

Tomorrow morning I plan to run at least 5-7km. after work, pop into mum’s to get the cheque and tapao food in my thermos flask. No time to eat because I need to rush back to the admin office to hand in the cheque and assignment cover sheet to Hang before 7pm. Lesson till 10pm..then dearie will pick me and head home.

Sat is training at ngee ann as usual. Lunch at clementi..then head to school lounge to study since I’ll most probably be early. Lesson till 8pm then meet dearie at mum’s, I reckon. have dinner, head home and have an early night.

Sunday, I’m hoping we can workout a bit before indulging in icecream. Dearie said we’ll be having swensen’s because we just received gift vouchers from great eastern which entitle us to free sundaes!

Have I mentioned I really do need to lose a little more weight? I am really struggling to do so right now but I hope to achieve that before photo shoot in sept. I’ve got slightly less than 2 months to do that.. found this running programme to lose 5 pounds from runners world and it’s perfect..because that’s exactly the amount I need to lose – 5 pounds (2.27kg). I’m hovering around 46kg the last time I weighed myself.. I want to look pretty on the photos..so I must try to shed abit of my flabs..control control..must watch my diet too.. argh..girls and their constant pursuit to lose weight. Haha. It’s never ending isn’t it? =P
