Self Care is a Necessity, not a Luxury

Often in life, when we are pressed for time or get carried away, self care is the first thing that gives way.
We start to forget to eat well, to get sufficient workouts and sleep.
I have had first hand experience of the HUGE NEGATIVE impacts of not having enough good sleep, recently.
With a VERY fuzzied mind and body, I was like a Zombie the whole day, and my workout at the gym was almost redundant (despite my best effort to do my best).
So last night, I decided to go to bed earlier to ensure at least 8 hours of sleep.
And what a huge huge difference in how I feel and look this morning.
I felt so refreshed, so energetic and so ready to take on challenges and activities in life.
From now on, I shall make a more conscious effort to rest & sleep better :)

Endorphin RUSH Addiction!

Have been going to gym non stop for the past 8 days...really addicted to the endorphin & adrenalin rush now...feel soooooooooooo amazing..gimme gimme more more more

Yeay....reignited passion for Pump2

Managed to condition my body to do pump regularly now. It's getting so much easier that I am going to add on the weights to be carried - just teeny weeny bit - 0.5 kg each side for squats, chest & back. Cant believe I will actually crave pump! I once detested it so much. :)

Well, people improve, people change.

Ke-Liaulat-an

Drove all the way - 45 minutes and realised that I will not be in time for the gym class, so have to turn back home.GRR what a waste of time, petrol and effort...zzz
If I have known earlier, would have just gone home directly after work....too bad
better luck next time hopefully. :)

Accepting things as they are

Sometimes we need to accept things as they are.
I am about to lose one of my beloved classes next month onwards.
I feel upset about the unecessary changes, but after taking a deep breath, I know if it's going to happen, it's going to happen.
There's a chinese saying
是富不是祸，是祸挡不过
Learning to accept losses and disappointments in life- are part and parcel of growing. Take it as a stepping stone to become a better and stronger person :)

Weekend with grannies

Over the weekend, we brought grannies out for dinner at a fancy chinese restaurant and dessert at some HK style dessert shop.

I think grannies enjoy it very much.

Take a step back from life. How often do we make some effort to spend quality time with our family?
