good habits

tricia wants to give herself a pat on the back for the good habits. this is to remind myself to keep up with it.

1. brushing teeth after lunch during working weekday - i'm so proud i've been keeping up with this habit for the last 2 weeks. i find my gums gradually turning to coral pink, a good sign that it's recovering from gum problem.

2. light exercises after lunch - it began with stretching during lunch break, has evolved into doing light weights. today i formulated a 10-exercise set which i resolve to do at least 2 sets each noon in the office. i brought the 0.75kg free weights to work on monday and today marks the 3rd day of doing weights. the 10exercise set makes up of 8 arm/shoulder exercises+lunges+squats. i was feeling all warm and broke out a little perspiration after going through 3 sets of it today. knowing 0.75kg is not significantly heavy, i increased the normal 12-15reps to 20-25reps.. aim is to tone than to build.

3. packing lunch to work - we've made through 1 month of eating home cooked lunch. despite my rojak cooking, dearie still eats up every grain of rice everyday. fortunately he's not a picky eater like me. starving myself doesn't work, i realise..my weight doesn't go down by eating just cereal and bread. this wed i weighed myself, i am still 46kg but alot more satiated with wholesome meals these days.=) no crash-dieting for me as i know i'll end up binging more at the end of the day.

4. morning runs - not all runs came to realisation but i manage at least 1 morning run a week. not impressive but still worth commending.. ought to do more!

habits take time to form and get ingrained in us. tricia is driven! jia you!
