A blog about me, home, health, food and anything under the sun
My cat woke me up today by jumping from the top of the bed board onto me. He’s starting to lick himself excessively again! See the bald patch? :( Today’s workout Warm Up (Adapted from Insanity) 100 Jumping jacks 100 High Knee Lift 100 Butt Kicks 100 Switch Kicks 50 Squat Jumps Workout: One-On-One with [...]
I’m back from a 12km (approx) run. Glad I turned up for the run instead of sleeping in on a lovely Sunday — who doesn’t want to do that anyway, especially when Sunday is your only day that you can sleep in! — There were friends waiting for me anyway … Remember me saying that [...]
Hope you guys had a nice weekend. I went for my first run in two months on Sunday morning with friends. We ran along East Coast Park and covered about 10 km. It was glorious! I can still run, no hard breathing at all :) In fact, I had to up the pace as running [...]
I love doing power jumps now! 60 jumps in 60 seconds? Yes I did it today and I couldn’t be more satisfied (Note: It isn’t me in those YouTube videos). However, I’m disappointed with my push-up jacks.

For some reasons, I’ve decided to reduce my dairy intake. I eat Quinoa seeds but have never drank Quinoa milk. So I gave this one a try. It is already sweetened with Agave syrup.

This morning my alarm went off at 6 am and even after eight and a half hours of solid sleep, I wasn’t feeling like getting up and working out. “Go big or go home”. I went back to sleep until 7.50 am! I’m not really enjoying the recovery week. The cardio and core balance moves [...]
Today officially marks the end of the first four week segment of Insanity! I begin my recovery week this Saturday which will consist of Core Cardio and Balance all week long. After that it’s part two (final) of Insanity. I am really looking forward to that. So far I’ve followed the workout …
Thank goodness my loss of appetite lasted for only one day. I was eager to resume Insanity today, after two days off. Appetite = Energy to workout. This morning I did my 2nd Fit Test. The 1st Fit Test was two weeks ago. Fit Test 2 result (D15FT2): switch kicks — FT1: 114 – FT2: [...]
I am back to cooking on a (almost) daily basis. So let’s see … This was dinner yesterday. All went down my throat except the decaf tea. A two-meal omelette using 4 egg whites + 1 whole egg + onion + shitake mushroom I had half of it (kept the rest for tonight), plus some [...]
