I’ve managed to do 3x this week. Tomorrow, I am probably going to complete the set. That would make it 2 weeks in a row!

They say a habit forms in 30 days, well 2 more weeks and I can safely say I did my part. The hardest part though is maintaining it.

The funny thing is though… I used to be sad if I gained weight after working out for a couple of months then relapsing but not any more. For some odd reason, seeing my weight at 133-134 this week kind of gave me motivation to just keep working out than when I was at 124-125. Maybe because I can’t see the finish line, that’s what motivating me to just run, run and run…

Now I just have to maintain this.

The last time I was sore though was last Sunday. I did some arm workouts and hadn’t worked out that area in a while… it was horrendous! But my lower body seems to be used to the workouts, I may have to push myself more…

I did 40 minutes (first time!) in the eliptical trainer today with the zig-zag of high and low intensity. I feel like I can still run more… or I feel like I have more energy now than I did before I worked out… that’s strange.

Anyway, sometimes I love it, sometimes I hate it but working out does its job. I’ve come back to Yoga too… there are a couple of instructors on a day to day basis but the one on Thursday is pretty good. There’s this other lady that does really intense Yoga too but I forgot which days she goes. Anyway, I’m taking this goal one week at a time.

It’s easy to relapse so I just take it as what I can do for today… what I can do for the week… that’s the only way I can get through this goal.

After a long time, I went back to the gym this week.

Exercised 4x for about 30 minutes/session. Feels good. I’ll be increasing the minutes as I get fitter – and used to working out.

This was my week:
Sunday – Stationary Bicycle (15 mins?), Eliptical Trainer (15 mins)
Monday – Outdoor Track (20-30 mins? – 7 tracks/songs)
Friday – Elliptical Trainer (30 mins)
Saturday – Indoor Track (15 mins), Stretching (20 minutes)

The intensity needs to go up a bit since looking at that, it doesn’t look like I exerted much effort. hah. Nonetheless, it was my first week back and I’m looking forward to increasing the intensity this week.

It’s a challenge because I get bored and tired and then I don’t want to prolong my stay but my goal is to gradually increase the intensity week after week. My hope is as this goal states, work out at least 5x a week at around an hour or two per session.

But yes, it’s good to be back. Let’s hope I can keep this up.

Just one week at a time, one week at a time!

It was the music. The ringing in my hears have decrease with the decrease in my music intake. I’ve also stopped pumping the volume too loud.

It’s not perfect – my ears that is – but at least I’ve lessened the annoyance factor of constantly hearing that ringing. I don’t think it’ll ever go back to being ‘perfect’ but for what it’s worth, my ear has gone back to normal more or less – with just occasional ringing.
