My blog. My world. My rules. Now get on your knees.

So I bought my purple-tinged running shoes at Nike in Vivocity, and I can still remember the conversation between the salesguy and I:

SG(Salesguy): So why are you buying running shoes?
Me: I want to start exercising.
SG: Oh how come? Did someone motivate you?
Me: You know who Gisele Bundchen is?

And here I am, more than a year later.

Anyway, my plan was to just eat whatever I want, and let myself enjoy food during the CTs, and during the holidays, go to the gym almost everyday. 5 days a week, school gym, and watch what I eat. Well, that's the plan anyways. It's so weird that I'm typing this after eating like half a bag of chips, but come on I only have till midnight to enjoy it!

There is so much crap on the internet about dieting, weight loss, eating, exercise, etc. I once read something like this --

2 groups of people were sat down, and the 2nd group was told that they were to start a diet tomorrow. Guess which group ate more? The first group ate less, because they stopped eating once they felt full. The second group thought "Well I'm going on a diet tomorrow so I might as well enjoy myself now, even though I'm full." That's me now! Well come on, this is the only day (okay fine second day) I've done this =P

And as for jogging on a treadmill --

Since there are no obstacles in the way like when you're running in public, you're free to focus on your stance(although I don't think this helps me run lol), like how your shoulders should be square, feet should hit the treads below your knee, etc.

I really need distractions when I run, because otherwise I'd just be thinking "Oh God, I've been running for what feels like forever! *looks at the time* Only 10 mins?!?!?! ARGH!" After a few sessions of that, my personal favourite distractions:
-When in the school gym, watch the tv built-in the treadmill. Even switching all the crappy channels they have distracts from the actual running.
-Sing along very very softly to/Concentrate hard on the song playing in my iPod.
-Look around the gym for eye candy. After months of running in the school gym, so far, there's only 1, but I have to drag him there with me because he won't go by himself anymore.
-Peer over the treadmill to look at people by the pool. Most of the time, there are only people cleaning the pool, or there are people from canoeing or dragonboating, not sure which one.
-Daydream, about anything really. From meeting your celebrity irl to cooking something, etc etc. Mostly I just think of someone I don't like getting fat =] Aaaaaaaaand of course TDH!

Really hate running, but there is no better way to lose weight. ONLY reason I run.

Losing weight is 20% exercise and 80% diet.................. =(
