Day 2 = The Overly Hectic Day
Yesterday, I started my 30-day weight loss challenge at Fitness First Megamall and had my first 1:1 BodyFirst session with my personal trainer, Gian. He first assessed my overall physical state then went on to try some basic workouts, including cardio(treadmill), some weights, some leg and ab exercises and we concluded with some stretching and a little massage to relax my muscles. I asked him if we could go over some leg stretching exercises to prepare me for the 5k Unilab Run United 3 this morning, which he gladly obliged.
This morning, I met up with Yam and Alie at 5:00AM at BDO, Boni Ave. They came a little bit later, then we went on to pick up another friend of theirs, a co-worker, Erica. Surprisingly though, we arrived early at MOA, so we strolled around the activity area and got some freebies from the booths there, even wrote our running statements on the four big writing boards they have in the middle of the area.
IN a couple of minutes, the race started. We didn't run to race, though. We spent the entire race time taking photos, chatting with each other and joking around. I asked them not to push it as well coz I still have a long day ahead, I dont wanna spend all my energy there and run out later in the remainder of the day. Plus, Yam, cannot really run fast as well coz of her asthma. We still finished at a good time, not my best time, but it's all worth the fun. We stayed on to play some games and get more freebies from the booths, then went home at around 8:30AM.
< will post the photos from the race as soon I get 'em from Yam's cam ... >
When I got home, I rested for 30 minutes, then prepped fast for my lunch birthday gig c/o Ms. Vini. I dolled up in a matter of 1 hour, then left to pick up my Dad and the piano at his place. We then proceeded to Quezon City Sports Club in E.Rodriguez Ave. We encountered a bit of a crisis but I managed to move on from it pretty fast. But it did consume all the serotonin in my body. I was in such a horrendous mood. I got home at around 2:30PM. I poured all my heart out on my mom and my nieces at home. I then prepared my stuff for the gym coz I have another session scheduled with Gian at 4:00PM today. I texted him that I'll come in a little late so I could rest for a bit. I left home with Tintin and Apol. When we got to Fitness First, the two of them decided to roam around the mall for a bit while waiting for me. Gian and I picked up where we left off yesterday.
He asked me how my day was, how my run was this morning. He commended me for still going to the gym with all the activities I have scheduled for the day. I told him that's how motivated and dedicated I am to my goal. I even promised him that if he manages to make me lose weight fast, I'll give him a free sample. (LOL) He was genuinely concerned about how I feel as he said he didn't want to force any workout if I'm not feeling well in any way. I told him not to worry and I can handle it. I even dared him saying "Ok lang, sige pahirapan mo ako!" which he accepted but still very sensitive, always asking if I'm still ok.
And he did take my dare to the next level. He gave me exercises that were very new to me, and really pushed me to my limit, which I really enjoyed. After a good hour of really challeging workouts, he stretched my entire body, which he commented was very flexible, which flattered me bigtime! (LOL) Glad my yoga and swimming turned out well for me. He suggested the next time I work out, I should end it with a relaxing 15-minute steam bath or sauna. I am very much excited to try that soon. On another note, that offer Aldrin gave me still won't put me to sleep. Should I get it or not? Hmmmmm.. this is a tough decision as I might encounter an overdraft if ever I grab it, but it's such a good offer, am I really willing to let it pass me by?
I'll be sleeping early today so I can catch up with some much needed rest. Goodnight world!
Before I go, I'd like to share this inspiring Indian proverb... Ciao!
