If it doesn't challenge you, it doesn't change you.

I am still suffering from the effects of making horrible food choices on Friday. What with the noodles in the morning, the humongous bowl of ramen in the afternoon and polo char siew buns at night.

Went to collect my Master Cleanse ingredients yesterday morning with Lmz, and I had then substituted my dinner with two servings of lemonade (right after bingeing on a slice of cheese cake and carrot cake in the late afternoon).

In these four weeks of long break, I am sad to say that I had only visited the gym twice :(

So yesterday night, I decided that I need to jump start my exercise regime apart from my daily workouts at night! I was split between the choice of swimming or running this morning, but ended up running as I was worried about Jurong SAFRA having no hair dryer in their premises, and my new bangs might not agree with that.

Right now, I am proud to say that I had completed four rounds around the park in my neighbourhood and not die of exhaustion. The last time I had ran with Kah was two weeks ago, and he had mentioned that we had only completed 1.2 kilometres around my estate. I still remember sitting on the sofa outside my house and gesturing at Kah to ask Lmz to open the door. Thereafter, I lied down on the sofa in the living room and was motionless for ten minutes.

I have always hated running, with the only exception being my time in JJC's soccer team. At that point of time, running eight rounds on the track every morning did not elicit the same fear as compared to how running is for me now. I have this habit of telling myself that I had ran enough in my whole life when I was in the soccer team, so I do not have to run anymore.

Jokes aside, today's run was better than what I had expected. After my horrific experience two weeks ago, I had told myself that I must complete at least three rounds today. I did four, and stopped only because I do not want to feel like how I did after my last run.

I look forward to more morning exercises like this, and the cup of homemade avocado blend that never fails to make my tastebuds sing.
