Mom’s BodyBlog

Believe it or not, that is what I did today ..a quickie workout.  Been so many days without working out…that even a few minutes helps….20 x leg extensions, 20 x dumb flies, 50 x crunches……well, it is better than none!!!!    Puts me in a better mood, anyway. 

Some people have no sense of respect for themselves.  I find them here, too on BS.  It is so sickening that progress pictures are misinterpreted.  Just today I received two PMs with distasteful contents from people who obviously feels very inferior about themselves cos there they are, hiding behind pictureless & almost empty profiles.  I think BS ought to get these people to disclose more details about themselves before they are allowed to have profiles on BS.  Some can’t be bothered with the harassment they get from these idiots but in the long run BS is gonna look like it is a place for passing lewd comments & what nots.

I think many girls here have received such PMs , just that they are probably reluctant to say anything except to put these people on their ignore list.  Cos after all, I do expect to get pretty unpopular after this blog.  

I was just thinking to myself how commercialized Christmas has gotten.  Being a Christian, and  Roman Catholic for the matter…despite being wayward and all…..I am sad to note that Christmas isn’t Christmas.  Being in the food industry, I find myself all caught up with the advertisements and what nots….yeah…after all I am "the" graphics person..and I contribute greatly too to the commercializing of Christmas.  I wonder if there are other ways of celebrating Christmas without all the commercialism.  As for me personally, I haven’t had a proper Christmas since I got married into the business.  When I was younger, it was all about choir practices and caroling….church activities during the almost 2 month school break at the end of the year.  Nostalgic.  Those days of bringing cheer to homes around.  Yes, it was more the spirit.  But no, it is not happening nowadays. 

What does Christmas mean to you?

This has gotta be an embarrassing one..nevertheless I have to ask despite….. Does excessive crunches do anything to the bladder??  I seem to be having some kind of "problem" here…  I mean does the exertion on certain muscles affect the function of others??

Does anyone know???

Although I am not too well physically, today is one of the better days.  Better than a lot of days.  First I managed to finish a bulk of my pre Christmas work on brochures & labels plus customized corporate gift labels, the printing and the cutting….

And then my babies (kittens) actually went to their brand new litter box ( I used a make-do container before this so that it would be lower & more accessible to them) with the different type of cat litter!!!    

And although I was busy & tied up the whole day long after oversleeping (again!!)  I managed to squeeze in some dumb bell flies & leg extensions plus my infamous 50 crunches at a go!!!!!  Feels good.

:)

Got my punching bag just now!! Haven’t had the time to test drive it yet.  Tomorrow!!! 

I knew if I didn’t put my foot and get time off for working out today I will be doomed!!  I know how depressed I was this afternoon.  And glad to say I did have a good workout and I feel good about it.  2 sets x 20 "dumb bell " flies on the machine  (cool thing about this little gym I have …I just have to flip a lever to get it alternate between dumb bell flies & butterfly), 2 sets x 20 leg extensions, 2 sets x 10 chest presses (butterfly), 2 sets x 30 crunches, 1 set x 20 rows (just arms & back), can’t recall the rest… uh..  Not much but at least I worked out.

:)  Maybe now I am ready to get things done in time for dead lines!!!

To see my weight is gradually reducing after the 6 day break.  Unfortunately I have been so swamped with work that I haven’t managed to work out ..yet!!  ;P 

I must get started soon cos I can feel the uneasiness setting in.  Working out together with anti depressants help with my battle with depression.  In short it is a matter of life & death for me if I do workout and if I don’t.  I am already stressed out but no major set backs cos the anti depressant is doing its job in suppressing my volatile outbursts as well as preventing my moods from dipping too low.  There are little hints of being stressed more than usual as well as signs of moods threatening to put me down.  Like how I forget things again.  And how I step on the accelerator too often.  Sometimes I just lose myself, unintentionally in the middle of things.  Sure I know it is dangerous at times but there isn’t much I can do about my situation, short of packing my bags and going.  There is so much to take in consideration before I can make such a drastic move.
