Keep going 2 months ago

I have been in training for almost 2 months, but I haven’t seen dramatic weight loss yet. I trimmed down a little, but not really noticeable to others. I am surrounded by people who really watch their diet or who are starving themselves, eating only meal a day. Of course, they see results much faster. Luckily my trainer has been very supportive. Why do I want to compare myself with others?! I know working out is good for me. With my trainer’s encouragement, I have been going to different dance classes and am having fun. I will just need to keep faith and am sure with little patience I will shed the weight and have a body that looks like million bucks! YAH!

Yoga class 2 months ago

I have been to different gyms and found that each teacher’s style is different. For example, a few years ago I had one teacher who was tall and slim. She has long arms. Her movements were absolutely beautiful and elegant, like dances. I wanted to emulate her. If possible, I watch my movements in a mirror, making sure that I keep good postures.

Then I moved. I tried different teachers at the gym closer to my house and found out that they all teach very challenging poses, much more challenging than in other gyms, for example, lifting your body with your head touching the floor. I can’t keep up with them. Even with modified poses, I sweat so much that I have to stop every 5 or 10 minutes to grab my towel. The strange thing though, after each workout, I feel all the pressure on my muscles are gone, and I start to build muscle strength. So I will keep up. Hopefully I can have a beach bum body soon!

My Late Spiritual Teacher 3 months ago

She is the one who inspires me to take “hahaplant” as my screen name, which means “a sunny, happy, smiling plant.” She had that magic power to make people laugh and feel loved around her. One day, I went to her house, crying over something really stupid my lover said to me. After comforting me, she saw smile again on my face. So she said, “Keep smiling, even when things are difficult. If you do that, blessings will come your way. When you smile, you make everybody so happy.” That night, I discovered 43things and named myself “hahaplant,” hoping that I can remember her teaching.
