Jogged 2 plus km this morning. After having woke up later than i wished to. But still went out for a jog despite being... reluctant to. Discipline is tough, and i guess my yoga master's words of wisdom does ring true: 'Don't listen to body cos it a lazy fellow'.
With the jog, i hit another low.. of 70.9kg on the weighing scale. =) Not sure if i will be able to lose the remaining 3kgs in time, but had at least lost 7 kgs since start of July. 120 days is flying past pretty fast.
Chilling out at MacDonalds at Raffles Place now. I guess i am still as stingy on myself as usual. Still finding that buying drinks here is pretty expensive. heh. In any case, any drink here (other than plain water) is extra calories which i do not need now, so i guess its a win win situation.
Planning Nov NZ trip now..Listed a few places we will be driving to on North Island. And good news is that Stacey had found her NZ Lonely PLanet which i will be borrowing from her. =)

A new laptop for me!!!
Using my very own Macbook Air now.. =) Finally a laptop to myself, my very first personal laptop. =)
Had survived for 4 years without a PC, and after 3+ years using the company laptop for personal use, its time i have my own. heh.
Well, at least now i don't have to frequently clear my personal stuff to my portable hard disk as we are not supposed to have personal stuff on the company laptop. hee hee.
Not making much progress on the weight challenge. Looks like it will be a 'photo finish' as i have about 4+ weeks left to lose the remaining 4 kgs.... Lost 2 weeks due to the flu bug and APEC meetings and business lunches. =/

My 1st singing performance outside Bugis OG last night
After taking singing lessons for about a year and a half later, i have finally performed a song on stage in public last night. A mid-Autumn festival event which has 1.5 hours of live singing on stage.
WeiQian led the show with 2 songs, followed by Wheng, then Jim, Chee Peng(not sure if i spelt correctly), Shufen and ShuQing, Leonard and i gotten my chance at the 7th last song of the night.
Didnt really had time to practise as much as i would wished to, but good news is, i did quite well according to friends. =P
Thus at the age of 31, i had competed in a Singing competition and also sang on stage in public. Very nervous before the performace, and had gastric after that. Amazing that there was so much stress on my body. xP
Was sick for the past week, so didnt really get to exercise at all... so maintained my weight at 91.8-92.3kg. Will try to go for a run later this evening.

Team Masterchef challenge!
Went for a 'Masterchef' challenge this afternoon as a team building event.
It was pretty fun, and i got to create dessert (baked banana chocolate pastry). Quite fun and not that difficult to do. heh. Had also chance to know Audrey and Jeremy better, so that is good as well. And of course, get to build up teamwork with the team as well. heh.
Towards the end, had picked up tomato craving. So i now seen and also tried and completed a rose craved from tomatoes. Too bad i missed the carrot craving into flowers.
All in all, good fun. =)
Well, back to work.. looks like it will be a very packed weekend. xP

Weight loss challenge update
Well, i am back doing the program after having taken over from Jace last Thurs. So getting a bit busier, but still manage to get out of office in time for a 5km run today.
It is the 3rd time i confirmed clocked above 5km. Only managed to hit 4 plus km on Monday. Progress is pretty good and i am quite happy about it. My lowest recorded weight was today, after the run with all that water loss, at 71.9kg (5.9kg lost!). Always nice to hit a new low. The last low was 72.5kg after jogging last Thurs i think.
Gradually losing those kgs, which is definitely great news!
Going to continue on my low calorie diet (1500-1700/day), 3 jogs a week at least and Yoga Sun Salutation every morning. Less than 8 weeks to go to lose 5 more kgs. keep it up!!

Gaining ground on my weight lost challenge.... a tad bit too slow though
After having read up and followed calorie tracking and exercise regime, had loast about 2.4-2.7 kgs in Jul. It was rather slower than planned, so i thought i had hit a plateau. Until this afternoon when i re-checked the number of calories i need to reduce by to drop my weight by 1kg.
I found out it is abt 7,700 calories per KG!!!! I had previously pegged it as 3,500 calories per kg, when it actually is to one pound, not kg. My bad for going to a US website and didnt realise that the person who posted it got his units mixed up. xP
No wonder i am off my target. Well, this means that i have to move up a notch and STOP on all unnecessary calories + more exercise!
Next goal, to see the number 73.x on my digital scale before Sunday. Previous low was yesterday morning at 74.1kg. heh.

Ultimate challenge for 2011
Yes, i had undertaken to join a contest and a bet to lose weight. How much? 10kgs in 120 days. Possible? Yes. On target? Not really, which is of obvious amusement of Dawn and Reina.
40 plus days had passed and i had only reduced by approximately 2 kgs. Over 70 days to go, my calorie counting and jogging sessions have yielded 2 kgs lost so far. Looks like i have to increase the frequency of jogging from 3 to 5 time a week. xP And that will be possible only if i jog in the morning rather than evening. Cos leaving early on time is a challenge in itself.
21st Oct 2011 is the deadline for the challenge, lets hope i will be 67.7kg by then.
Am pretty serious on the weight lost challenge, so much so that i went to check on the cost of a threadmill and exercise machine. Unfortunately, the simplest cost close to $1,000 !!!! OMG! so i guess i will stick to jogging and hopefully to start swimming soon.
