my new gym reputation
October 20, 2015 • 12 comments • 3694 viewsDean and I decided to start gymming again. I say “again” as if I’ve been throughout my whole membership period. Well, I have… twice. And I still have 13 sessions left at Bodytone and… ughhhh writing about this more is getting me upset. Haha.
ANYWAY, TURNING OVER A NEW LEAF. IT’S NEVER TOO LATE.
We realize we need to get healthy and we need each other as motivation. So that one energetic morning, we marched our way to the gym. I was so excited because I bought a bunch of Stella McCartney gym outfits and even new sneakers with those platform thingies (I’m sure they do something, but I just like them because they make me look a bit taller.)
Entered the gym and realizing that I need to do a lot of cardio to lose the post-baby flabs, I stepped on the treadmill. Ummm press QuickStart right? I got so motivated after seeing the calories burned numbers go up and up. Like whoaaaa I’m pretty sure that Coco Crunch I stole from Daniel’s bowl has completely been sweated out from my body. This is too cool.
People who came in and out gave me smiles and I felt so accomplished. I’ve never met them before so they have no idea I’m a gym lazybie. This is my chance to pretend I’m a regular at the gym and I know what all the equipments do… that thing over there is for the chest right? (Dean told me later it’s for the legs, so good thing I didn’t go on it.) It’s ok, my gym-goer reputation is still fresh and solid.
So I ran and jogged on the treadmill until the timer said 20 minutes. That’s enough, then. First day, I shouldn’t push it too much. Baby steps. Plus, the people who just stepped in wouldn’t know I’ve only been there 20 minutes.
I left the gym feeling very cool and energized. The feeling after you’ve exercised is the best, isn’t it?
I told Dean, “I think gym could be my next thing. Didn’t I look like a pro in the gym today?”
Dean looked at me up and down, “You still have the price tag on your new sneakers.”
What?! Dang it. So close!
That confident tho ????????????
I bought a new sport shoes to motivate me to exercise. And guess what? It has been 22 months and still sit nicely in the box.
that’s one inspiring thingy despite the price tag , lulz
I’m starting my own fitness regime too. Instead of the gym, i decided that my “thing” is swimming. I’ve been doing it consistently until this whole haze situation came back.. AGAIN! So now i have no choice but to hit the gym. just like you, i do 20 minutes on the treadmill and another 15 minutes on the cycling machine. I’m still new in this… and i hope i can do it consistently.
BODYTONE is nothin on treadmill..You aint got the real taste yet 😉
Good luck vivy hihihi
haha vivy!!! that is tooooo hilarious (^_^) can imagine fadza’s face when he actually said that!! (-_-)
Vivy please bring sportswear brands to FV! Especially yoga
“again”.. it is HARD to start all over again. all the muscle pain and such.
Yeeha!
I’m sure the newly bought gym attire would add more confidence and it’d give encouragement to go to the gym! *confession of a shopaholic 😛
* my excuse to get new exercise attire. 😛 😛
Haha! but i don’t go to the gym yet. maybe next year. im still doing my doctorate in uni of queensland and so, no kaching kaching until i start working. hihihihi. but if u ever come to brisbane, hit me up! 😛 😛
Having a toddler makes me feel confident that i exercise enough by running after him at the mall, at home, carrying him around and manja2 😀 (ok, another excuse of me not exercising 😛 😛 )
Anyway, all the best Vivy!
Love,
Saliza 🙂
HAHAHAHAHAHA you always very funny Vivy! Did you really still have them price tag???
But yeah, I also HAVE one pair sport shoe (running shoe) which I think everybody must have it in the shoe cabinet. Wore them at least once a year.
Anyways, all the best Vivy! Maybe then you can share on How To Lose Those Baby Flabs Vivy Style! Yay!
Love you!
after having 2 kids going to the gym never cross my mind. how i exercise? just do 8 mins squatting+sidekicks before bath. there will be 2 cute audience watching you doing it. i do it twice a day every time before bath. i did detox using lajuiceria once a while. after 1 months i lose 3 kg and 1 inch on the hips. doing exercise without equipment and concentrating at problem area save time+money and u can see the results fast!
haha u never fail to make me laugh vivy! I started my exercise regime too, i hope i can do that consistently so that i can get good results hehe
I cracked up at the last sentence HAHAHHAHAHAHA omg Vivy
