For the past week I've been religiously going to the gym and running my twenty minutes on the treadmill and hopefully still have the wind to jump on the cross-trainer and stride another twenty minutes out. However nowadays I've kinda lost my reasons to run because the last time I was such a gym freak I'd run out my frustrations, pump iron and go to every class I could/wanted to take until it was time to go hit the shower, go home, eat dinner, maybe blog and then fall completely exhausted into bed. Now, I'm generally in a good mood so running's kinda lost it's cause. And I find that I like running to Anything but Ordinary by Avril Lavigne (but I'm no Avril fan at all, it just feels good for some strange reason. It's the only song from her that I listen to anyway).
So aside from doing the routine of pumping iron on alternate days, step/pilates classes and running/cardio work everyday, I haven't been doing anything. Nope, nothing at all. I keep complaining about this don't I? Haha =P It's all been bicep curls, lateral pull, tricep and leg press, abdominal crunches, step-ups, hip raise, la di da... it's heavenly though. I love the rush of endorphin every single day. Hello my name is Marilyn, and I'm a gym and endorphin junkie... hee hee...
I am now at Coffee Bean after a gym session. My best friend is studying for her exam and I'm on the comp. It's a trend in Brunei to whip out your laptop at any blink zone in a cafe with a drink and type your afternoon/evening/night away instead of talking/catching up/kecohing. Honestly I don't understand the logic in that. When you go out with your friends it's supposed to be a kecohing session right? Automatic understanding no? Well, the cafes are usually quiet because of this exact reason. People are sitting around using the free wireless connection and chatting to other people (who may only be a few cafes away or at home in Brunei somewhere... sigh... the silliness of it all). I would understand if it's to do your work and you feel like doing it somewhere but this is getting to be borderline ridiculous.
Silliness aside, I accidentally joined the advance Step class. This is more or less an aerobics class but it's just lots of stepping here and there and on top of the Reebok step block thingy. It was so fast and the instructor just kept going, I was lost. Haha! I pride myself with being able to pick up dance steps really quickly but this was so fast-paced I stopped several times to scratch my head and laugh at myself becaue I couldn't keep up. I sweated buckets though... (well, my buckets isn't really buckets but I was drenched from just trying to make as if I was keeping up). Crazy!! The rest of the class obviously were regulars and I was the nubcaek. Good thing I don't feel embarrassed being completely lost in a exercise classes. I'm definitely going again! It was alot like dancing around the step block. Not very canggih steps but the instructor stops for no one and she doesn't complete all the steps. Just calls out the steps, "Horseshoe! Step over! L step! Reverse horseshoe! Knee! Around the world! Back to the V! Step left! Cha Cha Cha! Bounce! Jumping Jack! And REPEAT!" (like what?! Haha!) Loved it though. Superb cardio workout.
I guess that's about all I'll be doing till I go back to KL again on the 2nd of Jan with my brother. I'll be flying from KL to Auckland with the rest of them who are going to Auckland too... most likely on the 28th unless we can get an earlier flight. I shall hope to reduce the 27.2% of me that's fat to 20% like the last time I was going to gym oh so regularly. Even though running does give me alot of time to think but so far I think I've been dry creatively. Rather not blog when I've got nothing interesting to say or no interesting pictures either. Hehe! Gosh I miss KL and all the people there and my brother =)
Oh I forgot to mention, Kah Heng shaved his head and posted pictures of the event on the Kecoh Ppl blog... OMG! Haha. Hope your new beginning works out Kah Heng... =)
