One of my main goal activities is DRINK MORE WATER. After taking those diet pills a long time ago I noticed I don't drink as much water as I used to. Which is bad because when I was on them I needed to drink more water as what the doctor had instructed. Instead I focused on other things like making sure I kept busy and didn't care much for food, which included drinking too (diet pills made me sooo not hungry ever!) After a while I got very sick and when I recovered I was told that I had to drink lots of water. I don't think I drink enough water which is my current issue so if I can maintain the intake of h20 (and less juice and sugary stuff) I think I'd be on the right path.

Juw's stat page has been updated. Go have a read. :P if you want.

So apparently because of my height, my ideal weight would be 42KG. I told Luke (my partner) that and his response was: "Fuck, if you were that light I could throw you around alright..." And the cheeky side of me kind of likes that thought. At least it's an aim right. It's a bit of a drastic aim but at least if I get close enough I would feel pretty good about it and it's not that hard if I focus and keep busy.

Luke is trying to lose weight as well. He's not eating as much during the day and switching to a low in carb beer, plus drinking beer less. Good for him. Whether I can get him walking with me every afternoon is another subject altogether. Not that I am walking every afternoon either. I should. I really should.

I should attempt to draw up another health schedule. Last time I did things were good, at least I organised my time pretty well and everytime I missed out on doing whatever activity the schedule instructed I could still pick up where I had left off without drama. I could also switch things around. So yeah that should be my next project. New timetable. It would have to be a new one because my time isn't really my own anymore, well it's shared so, yeah...

The first steps are always the hardest right? Wish me luck. Again.

I know it's been a long time since I last posted. Which no one should assume it would only mean that I've kept myself healthy, completely the opposite actually. I'm afraid to update my stats just for the fact that I would have to come to grips about how much damage I've let upon my body.
Since the last time I posted, I have gained and lost weight like some yoyo, but ultimately gaining more than loosing. I've been on various diets and not sticking to one for a long enough period to see if it actually works. I've been on two separate diet pills, one brand in particular hospitalizing me for most of a weekend. Completely became out of touch with a stable exercise routine, mainly due to lack of motivation and tiredness. Probably worst of all in the time since I last posted was having a doctor declaring that if I don't lose some weight soon I could have serious ovary issues, after that moment I really wanted to start throwing up everything I ate.
Thankfully, I'm not in that part of my life and at the moment I do have a fairly good exercise routine, mainly walking the dogs for an hour in the morning, attempting the gym before work and some dancing exercises which embarrassingly enough is something my mum and I ordered off some info-merical on T.V.
I'm eating well but probably not the sort of foods I would like to stick to. It's hard to stick to a diet when everyone in the whole house is eating something else, but this time round it should be okay, there is an extended family living with us so my mum can eat as much rice as she likes with them *sigh*.
Though a part of me feels like it's just not enough to be content with how things are at the moment. I know if I really want to get fit and healthy I really need to work harder than that. I know the only way things will cater good results is if I am struggling. When I know what I'm doing is hard work but completely worth it. So what I'm proposing to myself is to try to make a schedule/routine with everything I need done. Put in place organized times for exercise, specific meals, sleep, time to myself and time for work. I'd have to be very strict to stick with it, but fair in the content. So that's my project for the next week. Hopefully I'll have it done before the week ends, I'll even post it so you can see that I actually did one up.
I should re-evaluate my goals too. One major goal would be try more active hobbies so that it would be much easier to keep fit. Here's to struggling...

Well just so ya'll know. I have been adapting to this vegetarian lifestyle quite nicely. I don't eat meat fullstop. I can avoid it and I am actually eating more fruit and veges which was my initial plan when I took this up. However, I have been sick the last week, and I'm kinda worried that it maybe because of lack of meat. I'm a lot more tired, stomach cramps (non rag time), headaches, dizziness... I could just be trippin' about nothing but if it turns out it's because of the sudden change in my food intake I might have to go back to having meat. Maybe I'm not cut out for it after all. *sigh* Besides- I'm asian?! What asian do you know is a vegetarian!? *sigh* I need a carrot.
