Losing weight, slimming down.

It’s the positive side effect that I will gain from trying to watch what I eat and by exercising more.

Week 2 upon doctor’s recommendations… and the rainy days are keeping me from the pool. I want to swim real bad. I want to feel chilly water sliding over my skin as I breathe in and out… in perfect synchronised movements… as I glide through the water, seemingly weightless.

I abhor jogging. My knees hurt like mad when I jog.
I love yoga. I ought to do the Sun Salutation at home. Ought to start real soon.
I hate gyms. They smell funky and I feel claustrophobic being stuck in a small space with sweaty men and heavy machines.

I… I am trying. I don’t want to do this for a short while, hit my target and then stop. I am trying to make a long-term change to my lifestyle and habits.

I have even given up sweet drinks these couple of weeks. I drink iced teh-o with less sugar on days when I need something flavoured for my drinks. No more canned Jia Jia Liang Teh, Coke… not even homemade Barley or Cheng Teng.

I am trying. Please give me time.
