my poor attempt to procrastinate--blogging!

I'm trying to be fit again. Played badminton with two of my friends from school this morning. I woke up at 8AM and still managed to be late for our 10AM call time. The court is nearby my place, a five minute drive. When I got there 30 minutes late, my two friends already warmed up. I had to do stretching alone. I even forgot how to do stretching! To think that it's basic. Ughh. But it felt real good to be active physically again. Sweated like a pig. Aside from moving around a lot while playing, the court was also really hot. Ughhh but it was fun! I want to play again. Two hours went by so fast, we should've gone at 11AM because unlimited rental of the courts starts then.

I had lunch and "napped" right away. My "nap" turned out to be a really long one because it was physical exhaustion induced. Ugh I had such a hard time dragging myself off my bed. I had a headache afterwards so I took a paracetamol and fell back to sleep again to nurse my head. I'm groggy now for sleeping the whole day but it felt good to rest like that on my day off from school. Classes again tomorrow and an exam.

On a lighter note, my Speck orange crystal case came yesterday! FINALLY! :) I love it. I wanted the apple green one because green is my favorite color but it was already out of stock. My next favorite color is orange so orange it is!

Meet my orange Macbook!

I think I'm going to read a little now. I've been stalling for hours because I'm still groggy. Kbye!

another item off my list for 2008!

I made a to-do list for 2008 during the New Year. So far so, so good! I've scractched out "Learn how to drive" and "Go to the gym" and probably "Stay healthy" too in the near future.

I've been working out for a week now. I think I've gone for five days already and I'm loving it. Prior to signing up, I was scared I was going to go Ningas Cogon on my goal to stay fit. But then I surpassed the "first day funk" and I was no longer nervous. I learned that after a while you start to feel comfortable because people there don't give a flying "F" about other people. So that's so cool!

I like it that at the end of a workout I feel rejuvenated. Tired but AT PEACE in my head. That's the best feeling in the world. I guess working out gives you an hour or two to take your mind off things. I love it! The next thing I want to try are the group excercises- Body Step (aerobics), Body Jam (Streetdancing), Yoga, and Body Balance.

After a few days of going to the gym you actually want to go back everday but of course, sometimes circumstances do not permit you to do so like BODY/MUSCLE ACHE from a prior workout. So yeah, let those muscles grow, let the fats melt away, and let the heart grow stronger! And the best of all...KICK AWAY IMPENDING DIABETES AND CONTROL SECONDARY HYPERTENSION!
