Weight Blurbs..

Posted by on May 17, 2010 | 3 comments




Wary. That should describe my feelings when I decided to weigh myself today. I won’t divulge figures hehe but yeah I gained weight again. Arrgh! Why am I having such a hard time losing excess weight? I blame genetics, my slow metabolism. But mostly I’ve got myself to blame.

I should stop eating high calorie food. But hey! Phnom Penh has such a great variety of affordable international cuisine that is really really hard to resist the allure of these palate temptations. I should also be consistent with exercising. I have very slow metabolism and I keep wishing I’m like Chinks who eats like she haven’t been fed for weeks but just burns it off in a few hours.

I’m not exactly lazy about exercising. It’s just that whenever my established routine gets disrupted I fall into a lazy pattern again. Like for the past month, I’ve been consistent in upping my cardio exercises. Then we went for weekend trips a few times and now its back to zero exercises.

Hi-ace suggests I should go and get a gym membership but knowing myself, whenever I get busy I just keep ditching gym sessions so this would be a waste of time and money. A friend suggested just using the easy ways like getting a quick lipo, or diet meds, or even hydroxycut but no, that is definitely a no, no for me.

I’m thinking of trying a different tactic. Rewarding myself whenever I achieve a certain lbs of lost weight. Hmm. Like if I lose xx lbs on July, then I’ll allow myself to get those gadgets I’ve been itching to have. Say if I lose 2 lbs before June ends, then I’ll buy that Fuji purple camera I’ve been planning to buy, if not, I’ll wait till I reach my goal..

Hope this works..And uh, legs above is not mine. Mine’s too big for public consumption..lol!
