MOVING ON !


Quote of the day: 
Earth changes, but thy soul and God stand sure -Robert Browning 

So it's 3 months of blogging for me today, and i feel like i've been doing this for like 'forever', if you know what i mean. Okay you don't, ahem! So thanks to everyone that's ever visited my blog -and also thanks to those that were able to leave comments -appreciate that.

It's one of those days where you feel like you are god -looking inside your round and tiny world full of people, and checking in on what everyone is doing. Amazing, but i am no GOD. 

Today i wore a tailored grey suit to work, i caught a few stares here and there, and did i mention that i have started working out again? (quick check- i never did mention that before,oops!). Yea, i errr stopped like mid last year. lol. FLASHBACK -I was into the whole exercise and protein powder thing. You know, i'd work out say like 3-4 times a week, various exercises in alternating sets, and after each workout i'd mix up my protein shake in the blender -a combo of milk/ice cream/youghourt, cheese/peanut butter, bananas,an apple, and some other stuff i can't even recall, and finally two tea spoons of protein powder. My determination was unbelievable, as i worked out after getting up early in the morning- drank my protein shakes and repeated same in the evenings after work. I did this for about 6 weeks...i mean my calorie intake was 3500-4500 a day !!, when all of a sudden i lost steam and then everything just fizzled out from there...lol. My only consolation was that i gained a few pounds-and muscle !

Alright so i started working out again this week, where my motivation came from i don't know -one thing i do know is -boy do my legs hurt from doing all those squats ! But after just 2 days i feel the extra burst of energy already-improved concentration and mood amongst others.  If you are reading this, working out is a good way of keeping in shape, reducing depression and anxiety, boosting confidence, strenghtens your hearts and your lungs, promotes better sleep- i mean there are so many positive reasons for working out. So go ahead and start today if you can, better to be in shape than out of shape, right? Good luck!

  1. I need exercise in my life! not to build muscles et al ( which girl wants muscles?) but to keep in shape, improve concentration, mood etc all the reasons you listed out. *sigh* Laziness is a b**ch

    n i can't believe you drank a mixture of milk/ice cream/yoghurt/cheese/peanut butter/ bannanas/apples ??!! apart from the outrageousness of the calories, how did it taste?

    thnx 4 stopping by n commenting on my blog :)

  4. Hey O.B,

    How are you doing man? Your artistic touch is all here for everybody to see.

    On working out, I need to have a regime as well. Jogging will be pretty difficult for me, but I need to get going, if not, that is pot belly beckoning.

    Nice one man. Take good care of youyrself
