Intermittent Effort, Intermittent Results

It was going good, until I skipped a day of my daily exercise and sauna routine. I went back to it the next day, however I had to stop again for a few days to help with my mom with some important errands. This is my 3rd consecutive day. I did not even bother to check my weight and BMI during the rest of the days that I skipped, as I am well aware that I may have gained back weight, or went back to the original weight when I restarted working out, or probably even more.

I'm definitely going back to my routine tomorrow, and this time around I may need some extra help.

That Small Heated Room

After 30 minutes to 1 hour of exercise, I make it a point to use the pre-heated dry sauna room for at least 30 minutes. I say "pre-heated" because at the last 5-10 minutes of my exercise routine, I switch on the sauna's oven so that it's already hot when I go inside. I have not done any research about the benefits of sauna, but they say that it's good for your skin. And if it makes me sweat the way it does, I guess that's a good thing for my goal.

The Project: Revisited

For failing to think of a better name.

The Project was basically the exercise + diet routine I made for myself about two or three years ago (cannot accurately remember). It was going on fine for a while, lost about 10kg more or less, and I had to stop stopped when I resumed the life of an employee. Now that I have more than enough time on my hands, I've decided to give it another shot. And this time, not stopping for (almost) anything.

As you can see I've gained back my weight. I'm currently at 179-180 lbs. And according to mister scale here, that would be around 82-83 kgs.

Happy New Year!

Here I am again. A good few of you may already know the existence of this blog from way back, and fewer who actually read it from time to time. I'm back, and I want to blog again. My old posts are currently hidden, and I'm still deciding on whether to put them back up or just delete them entirely. I just really wanted to post something on the first day of the year, so this blog will still be under renovation.

I feel a little different. Mostly due to the fact that I need certain changes. Changes that I should have done years ago which I have attempted but failed at, changes that should bring back a good old part of me, and changes that I've been afraid of doing.

I've quit my job, and decided to really focus on my health this time. It has gotten to the point where my being unhealthy interferes with the job. And I've decided to really get back into gaming this time around as well -0-

To start the year off, I wanted new nails. Of course, not in the literal sense. I wanted nail polish to match the occasion, and this time it's to celebrate the new year. I usually have a nail stylist design my nails, since I can't do them on my own. But since it's the Holidays I didn't have time to visit her. I see a lot of nail art videos online though, and I'd like to try them myself when I get the chance.
