Weigh-In: Week 28

It's been 28 weeks since I've start trying to lose weight and I've only lost 4 lbs! But I have to admit that I haven't really been putting all my effort into it. I only ran once this week. Like I've said before, with my ipod still broken, I'm just not motivated to run as much. I'm addicted to the nike+ thing. I need to see my runs, how fast I'm going, how far, how many calories I've burned. And I love how it's all laid out for you with numbers and graphs - it must be the scientist in me. So I can't decide whether I want to buy a new nano or an iphone. And I just keep putting it off - I'm the worst procrastinator ever!

Every Sunday, I tell myself that I need to kick it up the next week. But you know it never happens, and I really don't know why, other than the fact that I'm lazy and otherwise preoccupied. But I think I'm really going to do it next week - hopefully that is. Yesterday, I was over at my aunt's and guess what she told me. She said that I should join a gym. Now this isn't the first time that one of my relatives have told me that I need to lose weight - it's an Asian thing, which I'll rant about later - but this time it really irked me.

Weigh-In: Week 27

I lost some (very very little) weight, but I have no one to blame but myself and mother nature. I was all bloated this week - that's mother nature's fault. I know, I know, tmi. Sorry. But it's also my fault, cause I haven't been working out. I've been meaning too, but I've also been lazy. I need to get motivated and get my butt in gear! And because my stupid ipod nano is stuck on hold! I just can't run without my ipod + nike thing. I'm addicted to the stats! I need to find a way to open up the nano, so it won't be perpetually stuck on hold or I should just get a new one. But I don't know if I want a nano or an iphone. Decisions, decisions! But either way, tomorrow I'll try running again, without the ipod + nike....

Weigh-In: Week 25

I haven't been able to workout this week, cause I've been with my aunt in the hospital (she has cancer). But even though I didn't lose any pounds this week, at least I didn't gain any either - which is always a good thing.

Weigh-In: Week 22

No major change this week. I can't seem to push through this weight threshold. Maybe it's time to change things up, so I can see some results.

Weigh-In: Week 21

So I haven't really been keeping up with my weekly weigh-ins. And boy did it catch up with me. I was regaining so much! But that was also, because when I was abroad, I wasn't doing as much cardio as I usually do. And then of course, clumsy me, I injured myself. So then, even when I got back home, I couldn't resume my usually exercise regimen due to not being able to move my leg! And then of course, I was all bloated because of mother nature! Ugh! Everything was going against me. I regained like 5 pounds. Then last week, I was able to start running again. Heck, I even did 12mi in one day - the longest I think I've ever done. So this week was a little better, I'm starting to shed those pesky pounds again.

Weigh-In: Week 16

There wasn't much change this week in every way - weight loss or routine. Bummer! But at least I lost something. That's always good.

Weigh-In: Week 15

Well, no difference in poundage loss this week, but a lot of inches seemed to disappear. I don't know why I didn't lose any pounds this week, I kept exercising just like the week before. It's frustrating!

Weigh-In: Week 14

Wooo Whooo! I'm ecstatic that I've lost over two pounds this week. Although I know that losing over 2 pounds a week isn't healthy. Also, I'm kinda worried that I'm not losing as much in inches. But perhaps that's because I haven't been strength training as much since I'm traveling. But all in all, I'm happy.

Weigh-In: Week 13

Well, the minute amount of pounds that I lost last week, I've gained back. Boo! I haven't really been doing anything - exercising wise - so it's understandable. I'm finding it really difficult to keep up a regular exercise routine whilst I'm abroad.

Weigh-In: Week 12

You know I was surprised how much I missed walking. I never thought I would be that girl who had to run - although I secretly wished I was. The treadmill is finally fixed, so I can once again start running. Yipee! If I was at home, I would run outside, but since I'm currently abroad right now, I can't really go running outside - no one really does it here. And the park is far from where I am staying. So I am ecstatic that the treadmill is fixed.

Unfortunately though, this week I've gain inches, But I did lose some pounds, but barely any. It's probably because my exercise routine hasn't been as strenuous as usual.

Weigh-In: Week 11

So, this week has been pretty tough. I'm overseas, in Asia, visiting family and it's kind of difficult maintaining my normal workout schedule. So it kinda sucks. And I don't know why, but I feel more fat here than usual. Well...maybe I know why, cause the girls here are so skinny. Seriously, I was looking at a picture of me and some of my relatives and their legs are probably the size of my arm. Not good for my self esteem. And it kinda sucks that I can't go running like usual to deal with the frustration! Arg!

Weigh-In: Week 10

Well, this week was great, I'm working out more and losing weight, but I'm gaining in inches.

Weigh-In: Week 9

So, finally I'm in my fitness groove. I've done some light yoga everyday this week as well as wogging (a combination of walking and jogging) and strength training. But I did allow myself a day of rest from strenuous activity in order to allow my body to recover.
Well my hard work paid off, cause I lost a pound this week and for the first time since I've started this fitness odyssey, my overall weight loss is finally negative. Woo Whoo!
The only thing that I'm concerned about is the fact that I'll be traveling abroad at the end of next week and I'll be over there for at least a month - if not longer. Hopefully I'll be able to keep up with a regular exercise routine when I'm over there.

Weigh-In: Week 8

So I'm finally dropped some poundage this week! Yay! But really it's not that surprising, since I've upped my running and did more circuit training as well as yoga.

Weigh-In: Week 7

So weight wise, this really wasn't a good week. But it was partly because of mother nature and aunt flo - sorry was that a little tmi? Anyways, so I was bloated, so of course my weight went up. But at least I was still exercising this week. However, next week, I am determined to kick it up a notch. I just learned that my cousin is getting married - so I gotta look good for the wedding. Which is great, it gives me a goal to work towards!

Weigh-In: Week 6

I started working more this week, so it was a good thing I almost lost a pound. I went jogging and did a couple of fitness dvds, which I will review later.

Weigh-In: Week 5

I started working out again this week. I went for a run - or at least I attempted to run, but it was more walking than anything else. And I also put in a workout dvd - Skinny Bitch Boot Camp - which I'll review later.

Weigh-In: Week 4

Okay, so this wasn't a good week. I've gained weight - but that's understandable since I didn't workout at all this week. But at least I lost some inches.

Weigh-In: Week 3

So, this week wasn't that different from the other two exercise wise. Although, I did pilates on Friday, so that was good. But one good thing is that I lost both pounds and inches. So hurray for that!

Weigh-In: Week 2

So this was my second week into my fitness odyssey, and I'm sorry to say that it wasn't that successful. I lost in inches, but gain in pounds. So it was a good and bad week.

I wanted to go out and run, but weather wasn't permitting. So that was a downer. But you know, I was also being lazy. I gotta pick up the pace next week...
