losing weight: i'm on it!!

3 weeks ago, my housemate got his blood result. and the numbers were outrageous.. his blood sugar was 250-something.. the normal level is 180-something.. his cholesterol was 500!! the normal human cholesterol is 200-ish..

we were very scared. me and him ate almost the same food. we sleep late almost everynight. smoke, and drank beers.. you can imagine how frightened we were.

we decided to change our lifestyle as soon as possible. we bought salad, fruits, low fat milk, low sugar jams, wheat bread, etc etc.. we join the gym. bought new swimsuit.. lol.. we panicked.

he extremely change his diet. only wheat bread for breakfast, no rice for lunch, many many veggies and fruits, and skip dinner.

me, on the other hand, take it a bit slow. i have weetbix for breakfast, with hi-cal milk, half portion of rice, and change my dinner time before 6pm.

he exercises regularly. running, sit-ups, rowing, etc etc. and after 3 weeks, he lost his beer belly (or his rice belly). he don't eat instant noodle (although its VERY VERY tempting).

me, i only do swimming. cos i can't stand the excruciating pain after the exercise. and after 3 weeks of not-so-strict-diet-and-workout, i lost 2 kilos!!!! woohoo!!

i love my gym. it got lots of equipment (of course, if they don't, they wont call it a gym, would they?), olympic size pool, a bunch of classes like body combat, various yoga types, RPM, hip hop, etc etc.. sauna, steam room, free drinks--tea, coffee, sodas.

the first personal trainer session, they made us use the Tanita. it measures the body fat, and how many fat and kilos you have to lose. and my results is:

i have to lose 43,3 kg of fat!! damn!!!

i got to work out really hard. hufff.. wish me luck on this.. i really want to see me in a nice kebaya for my graduation day.. :)
