A blog about me, home, health, food and anything under the sun
Evening all! Today I started off my day with some strength training. Waking up at 6am is not easy these days because we don’t sleep early anymore — 11pm or midnight at most. After working out, bathing, getting ready for work and feeding my cat (all done within 45 min), I ate breakfast. I had [...]

Evening all! I just came back from my 9 km (or more) run . A good way to start the week eh. Glad that Monday is over! Wow it’s almost the end of January. I have something to confess. I have not taken down my Christmas tree yet!! I guess I wasn’t in the mood [...]
Yesterday it was great to catch up with two of my good long-time-no-see friends. Before I continue, let’s rewind back to Saturday morning… I overslept a little and reached work at 10 am. No one was in yet (I think they came and went out). I got some work done and in the blink of [...]
Tonight’s training was fun. It was a mix of plyometrics and circuit. We discovered a new place, a quiet and airy place, where we could train. And guess where?! At a multi storey car park on the 8th floor, just below the roof top! There were no cars from 5th floor onward, so it was [...]
I don’t remember when I last lifted some dumbbells. Probably more than 2 months ago! My quads are aching at the moment but no biggie. This pain will go away soon after my body re-adjusts. So far I’m doing good with this week’s goal. To recap: Monday: 8 km run followed by 1.5 hrs of [...]
I’m setting short term goals for myself. Working out will be my priority this week because it’s been a while since my last workout. So this week I will run 8 km on Monday (tonight), Wednesday & Friday, and do some resistance at home on my non-running days. And on Sunday we will workout together. [...]
Weekend is here! I just came back from my long run a couple of minutes ago. My friend and I were caught in the rain but we continued to run and I think we covered about 17 km total. I’m still full of energy! I’m not too sure where all that energy comes from. I [...]
My former tutor posted a link to an article on core strength, and the potential risks to the back (which was recently posted on The New York Times health blog). It is saying that traditional gym ab work (crunches) and the focus on accessing and isolating the transverse abs can hurt people’s backs and cause [...]
