Update 04

Once again, I failed the plan to sleep early. This time, still the same reason that stole my quality sleep time. Was it because of stress? My period was late for two weeks, my forehead is full of acnes, I have constipation, then the thought about the unfinished assignments keep wandering on my mind before I went to sleep. I am so deprived of sleep that I yawn a lot in school. Luckily I still managed to concentrate in class.

Enough of complaint, now move on to something happy! Me and my friend, Xiao Hou went to play badminton twice for the week. On Tuesday, we play continuously for 30 minutes before we take a rest. This is an improvement as we have played a little longer time and less rest. I felt extremely satisfied when the face cloth was all wet because of the sweats =).

On Thursday, there is another achievement because we actually played for about one hour and thirty minutes before we rest. One thing different is that this time we played with another two person. This is the first time I play mixed doubles for badminton and also the first time play with rules! A very tiring experience yet a great one as well.

I have gained weight!! I have not eaten much but I gained weight!! How can it be?! Alright, maybe I shouldn't weight myself after a big meal!(Shut up,this is not me trying to rationalize the reason I gained weight!)

Great games!

Update 03

Let's start this post with a good news!!

My weight drop to 46.2KG. I have been consciously decrease the amount of rice for every meal at home. I balanced it with CONSCIOUSLY eating more vegetables and less meat. This is tough for me somehow, because if you know me, you would know that I love to eat meat otherwise known as carnivore. Other than that, I have also made myself drink more water per day.

Once again, I failed to sleep early. For the last two days, I slept at 6 A.M. and 4 A.M. respectively. I have a not-so-good reason for this failure which is the busy school life. Assignment due date is coming, so I tried to finish my part as quickly as possible so that other group members can proceed with their work. Hereby, I pray hard that I can resume and stick to the goal of sleeping early by the end of this week.

The past whole week has been a hectic one, I failed to go play badminton but managed to go to the gym. I want to say thank you to my friend that went to gym with me. This is because I might have just go home if we didn't promise to go gym together on that date. I went there with one specific goal which is to reach 5 km within one hour on exercise bike. I ended up spent only 41 minutes in the gym because A) I reach my target goal B) I have run out of energy. One thing I noticed is that I feel tired more easily on that day by comparing to my past experience in gym. It might be because I have only ate one bread the whole time before I went to gym.
Next time, I will try to have a proper meal at least two hours before.

I think this is my first time reaching 200 kcal before one hour

Update 02

Another week has passed, I'm still not 100% recover from flu. As explained by Beaton (2003) in his research that stress can impair the functioning of immune system. Maybe this is the reason I take such a long time to fully recover.

As I wrote in the previous post, I did went to exercise on last Thursday (9th February 2012). A few friends and I have a two-hour badminton session on that day. We laugh a lot during the session and it is actually a great way to escape from all the academic stress. I have a quiz on the next day but because of the exercise and the fun time spent with my fellow friends, I am not that tensed up about an exam as I used to be. I love exercise! I love my friends! =)

Too bad that I reached one goal and failed another goal. I failed to sleep before 12 A.M.!!! No no no, it's not my fault. I have to burn midnight oil to work on assignments, you know! (Teehee, I know this is a bad excuse, but it is the truth though.) Alright alright, I will try my best to improve my time management skills.

On the other hand, I managed to maintain my weight! A round of applause for myself. =)

Now it's time for some pictures from the badminton session...

Having fun :]

I love my friend

I love my friends

Show you some of my moves =)

Cough cough cough...

Update 01

In previous post, I wrote that I want to sleep earlier, exercise more, and maintain my weight in between 46KG to 47 KG.

Over the past few months, I did try to change my sleeping pattern, but I failed. However, this time, I managed to change it. All thanks to the flu. I do not have enough stamina to stay awake until 4 in the morning so I usually went to sleep at 12 A.M..

Last night, my second brother was challenging me to weight myself. He always say that I must be over 50 KG. I was a bit irritated so I went on the weighing machine. The machine showed 46.5 KG. It has increased in one week. I am concerned about this but I also proved to my brother that I am below 50KG!! I will need to control the amount of food I consume though. If not, it will exceed 47 KG easily.

I have been slowly recover from the flu. So hopefully, I will be able to start exercise by next week. =)
