How effective is Body Pump?
Posted by: poundsaway on: February 24, 2007
I’m a total slacker when it comes to weight training. Mostly because I think the weights area is a really intimidating, testosterone-fuelled area. I don’t like being checked on by the guys (not because I’m a babe). Yeah, I know they’re just trying to help, but I feel uncomfortable when a complete stranger comes to [...]

Stubborn weight …
Posted by: poundsaway on: February 24, 2007
I was frustrated when, after getting on the scale on Thursday, I gained one more kg, despite having exercised quite faithfully this week.
Then I realised that
a) it’s my PMS time which usually means I gain 2kg of water
b) It was Chinese New Year and I scarffed down cookies and oily meat floss daily!
I have the [...]

Having a harder time with food though. My [...]
Back in the gym

Epileptical machine: 5minutes (warm up) + 35 minutes (gentle intervals)
Full body Weight training: 40 minutes.
It’s nice to be in the old gym again. Was tempted to take a fizzy drink after the work out (ironically, the gym has fizzy drinks dispensers, which make me go: Doesn’t that defeat the purpose of working out?) and took [...]
Discipline!
Posted by: poundsaway on: February 19, 2007
By all accounts, I only have 20kg to lose, but why do I find it soooo difficult to even lose 1kg. I look at other weight loss bloggers who sometimes have lost 100s of pounds and I’m shaking my head. What do they have that I don’t?

I asked my sister yesterday how many times [...]
