Frankly speaking,I have a wonderful journey with you people.I’ve so much fun and pains during this period. It like mind blowing and never in my dreams that I’ll joined this mass exercise.My stamina level is building up and I feels more fitter, healthier, lighter and energetic(although did not lose so much).Just to share this, have read an article on HealthASIAONE dated Friday 09, 2009,study shows that “EXCERCISE BOOSTS WELL BEING AFTER BREAST CANCER” and having breast cancer is tough emotionally, but REGULAR EXERCISE can help build your spirit up.I can’t deny this study, cos I’ve gone thru this phased.I really felt newborn in me especially after attended this trainning.Irregardless of any illness exercise is very important in our daily life. Although is being too late I started the exercise, but is better late than never. Meanwhile waiting for my company to engage the Teamguru Fitness trainer, I will continue my workout with my fellows collegues and back to Yoga class on every Tuesday.Looking ahead year 2010, will anticipate more activity toward healthy lifestyle!

So what’s after Lose to Win? The next challenge? One thing I learnt is that missions are never over, it’s just one fun challenge after another, so now you’re fitter and lighter and you look better in your work out gear, how about a high tempo dance class? Or muay thai? Or tai chi? Anything to keep that heart going and that challenge going! =)

Just finished watching the first episode of Lose to Win on Channel 5, nice to see that Gurmit is not hosting it alone, also nice to finally put a face to some of the posters in this forum, like Anna Ahmad! Hi Anna!! I am looking forward to the Chinese version on Friday and the rest of the episodes too!

In the mean time, take care and press on!!! 9 days only!!

Heartiest congratulations to our Master Trainer, Sharm on the arrival of his baby girl! Wat a proud he is:)

Kudo to all yr dedicated trainers for their patience and encouragement to all of us.

Wow!!! I must work very hard and smart for the last 9 days and to earn my well-deserved celebration party … hee… hee…. Dun envy me, I normally hv an end in mind when I commence a project.

Stair climbing and gym power walk, fitness@work exercises, stadium walk are all lined up. It is not easy for a person who seldom exercise and food lover to do all these. But with much perseverance and determination, I could do it and so could you In fact, today I juz browse thru my photo album and was amazed that I am as slim as I was 15 years ago !

Dear fellow bootcampers, Eat, work and dream of 31 Oct 09…. hee… hee….

It also helps to wear a knee guard, whether you do have knee pain or not as it would give the knee more support. Of course since then, I had pain in my right knee, in my left and right ankle although amazingly (which I’m thankful for) with the increase in exercise during the LTW challenge, my ankles and knees have not been giving me problems, just my hamstrings and my feet. But they do heal pretty quick.

Sport injuries are no fun at all and it stop you from doing what you love, losing weight for whatever goal you’re looking for. Do take care and, take the necessary percautions before exercising, don’t ignore the signs your body are telling you. =)

Trainers oei~ haha.. First of all congrats Sharm, I hope your new-born isn’t giving you too many sleepless night.

Alright regarding the plans I have been doing, to be honest, it has been rather impromptu with my exercises as I have flunctuating working hours. The only time I have for myself isn’t much, I guess what I could do more often is to wake up @ 530am and do my jogs.

I have been enjoying the boot-camp training intensity that I do it on my own, even though its kinda embarassing to be honest. Using my HRM, I would target that I burn 1000calories by the end of a 10min warm up jog, 50min work out, and 10 – 15min of stretching. This has helped me alot in terms of motivation as I get a gauge as to how hard I am pushing myself during the workout. My target @ the end of the exercise is to achieve a mean Heart Rate of 150 – 160 as I have read it is the most “efficient” burn zone.

Diet wise I have been doing much better now, I had a great lapse for the past 2 weeks as I was moving and all the house warming parties were a big big temptations. Luckily I had damage control, as I was in charge of fruit platter, I made better choices Now, my normal meal would include a heavier breakfast, 20% less lunch, 30% less dinner (I try to target between 7 – 8pm due to working hrs)

My plan for the future would be, continue my Bootcamp training till I continue my studies in Oz. To burn 5500 calories a week. To maintain the eating habits I developed. To reach a healthy BMI before I rejoin the work force in 2011

Cheers!

I no longer need to `breath in’ to zip up my pants, isn’t that fantastic, I believe if I have cut down my food portion or frequency of buffet, I would have achieved a better set of results. Looking at all the exercise Heather planned, I really envy her determination to keep fit. I do hope I can have more time for exercise and drive my good friend `lazy’ away from me, `he’ has been with me for too long

Last be not least, my dear bootcampers, do keep up all the good work and continue to exercise but do it in moderation.

Like Nur Insyirah, I also become addicted to exercise with some platoon mates. We went for Aerobics and exercises almost every day.

Bad news, now I having knee pains and have to slow down a lot in order to let my knee pains to heal. But we only left three more sessions [less than 2 weeks] before the next assessment. What to do??

Doing stretching and go to massage sessions – much better but still pains, hope that my last assessment will not affect my team performance.

Lastly, Raghu – thanks for spending part of your Deepavali with us (exercising) and the ‘goodies’ you brought for us.

Well, right now I’m extremely addicted to exercise. Even on the days, dat I do not do anything, my mind is always on workouts. Hopefully dat helps though. (Haha…no scientific evidence so far).

I felt I really achieved something, when I visited my family doctor due to diarhoea and he noticed me since I stepped into the consultation room. He claimed ” Wow ! Good gerl…U lost weight !” In fact, before this he was always nagging at me to take care of my weight, for fear I might get a package of illnesses due to heritage history.

Definitely, I will continue with bootcamp since the craving for exercise is too overwhelming : )
