running with it

no real reason for the two pictures. purely for aesthetic reasons :) for those of you who haven't hopped on the ugly betty bandwagon, that's the yummylicious eric mabius. and the fabio-gone-right is marlon brando's son, tuki. poor chap. what's up la with these celebrities and their tendency to give their kids weird names. prolly think its off-beat. well he may share his name with many a feathered friend, but tuki turned out quite well. that makes him sound like a muffin doesn't it? come to think of it he is, isn't he-of the stud variety that is. hah. (i've had one coffee too many, can u tell?) and he's only 17 or something so here's hoping he'll grow out of his romance hero phase.

neways the move-the-butt plan is in full gear. been running round the estate for four days now. my leg and butt muscles are in agony, oh but what sweet agony it is. been using of of the bro's gadgets too. there's one that works the core as well as the upper body, and dayum...after four sets of 15 reps yesterday i was literally whimpering. my mum came out of her room to the hall to see what was going on. she said she thought my brother was trying to commit suicide or something and came to check. haha. i don't even think she meant it to be funny. at the moment i run five rounds outside (abt 4km) in 30min, hoping to bring that(the time) down first and then increase the distance. i haven't been weight-training tho and i get lazy even just thinking bout it now. but i know that i need to retain the muscle mass that i warked so hard to build up in the first place, so that my cardio hrs can be as efficient as possible.

on a sidenote i feel like the protagonist in 'little house of horror'. u know where the talking plant with a particular fondness for blood, keeps going "feed me seymore, FEED ME". i'd like to think the increase in appetite is due to an increased metabolic rate now that i've started working out again, but it may be due to a lack of sleep (video streaming evil). i read in some fitness magazine that adequate sleep is a key indicator in how successful someone who has lost weight is gonna be in keeping it off. apparently not getting enough shut-eye hinders the production of a hormone which communicates to the brain that you're full. so in other words not only do you resemble a panda but ur constantly stuffing ur face as well. hmmm. certainly something to consider. i don't think i can go cold turkey off the dramas, but i think i'll limit myself to two the latest. gotta start somewhere rite.

on yet another sidenote, american idol was da bomb today. blake oh blake, how you make my heart shake. not only is the boy fine but he can sing too. i don't know which i like better, the sexy raspy parts or the mean beatbox bit. le sigh. excuse me, its that time of the month where i'm just abit hormonal. ok the stomach's a-calling...gonna look for an apple or something
