same old same old
nothing much to report. the highlight of my weekend was watching the ndp preview.will get around to posting the pics, just not today. the fireworks stole the show, as would have been expected. screaming with the girls kinda made me think of how it was in crescent. sigh. those were some good times.
my knee is still giving me problems. was rather upset when it started aching when i was cycling. it is really getting in the way of exercise, especially cardio. i find myself missing the stairmaster. with a passion.if it doesn't get better in a couple of weeks, i'm gonna see a doctor. i was telling din how i usually keep at a machine even though my knee aches. he said to just stop as soon as i feel my knee cos it can apparently get worse. it really sucks because i have no idea what to do for cardio.
thus far tho the knee hasn't affected my progress on the weight-front. am 73.1kg today, so that's a loss of just over 17kg. the biggest difference has been that i have much more energy throughout the day. my resting heart rate is in the 30s, which means that my ticker is in excellent shape. that was main concern starting out because of my strong family history of cardiovascular disease and diabetes. i am also at a stage where i feel i could maintain what i'm doing for the rest of my life. my diet for example allows me the occasional treat (a pretzel today), whilst focussing on how much and when i eat. admitedly the no carbs at night rule took a bit of getting used to, but i've stuck with it and - as with most things in life- its got better.
on a related matter, i now weigh the lightest i've been since sec 2. that's mind boggling. even with the meal-replacement diets or the slimming pills i've never got to where i now am. sure the former were much easier ways to shed the pounds, and i never had to even set foot into a gym, but its been so worth it.cos i know that i CAN do it on my own. probably always could. and to think that just 4 kilos away the SIXTIES await. i haven't been remotely close to that since primary school.
before i get ahead of myself, there's still some work to be done..so watch this space.
p/s: much love to shazzie and az, who are in the land of oz. miss u! and to sharm thank u for the tix...made this (naturalized) citizen's day :)
