CH219: Saying Is Not Doing

Because I've been meaning to buy these things but never actually doing it, and just postponing...

New running shoes. The ones I've got are 4 years old and you can tell the cushioning has given up on some parts. This time around, to make a better and wiser purchase, I even did those running and walking on treadmill tests to know which shoes are most suitable. I'm quite shocked though how expensive running shoes are. I didn't see their prices skyrocket to 7000+ pesos before. Or maybe I was just not aware. 4 years ago, prices would have just been around 5k+. And I would have thought innovation and mass production would drive prices down.

I haven't drunk whey or anything of it close to a year now. This time around, I got myself back into whey isolate - the first one I drunk before going for the cheaper usual whey protein. The plus factor for my decision was of course - they're okay for those who are lactose intolerant. :) and of course, some creatine. I'm such a sucker for quick hard sell and "discounts". Since I bought 3 products, all 3 were effectively 50% off. If I just bought 2 of the whey isolates, they'd just be 40% off.

So, I really should be planning my routine now. But...or maybe no buts. I'm going to Bangkok this Thursday till Sunday, so I may just work out there as well considering I've seen the temples before. There are other places though I've yet to see. :)

CH146: Getting Fit + Playing Around

Following the fun and play last weekend - CH145: Water Park + Cooking Experiment, CP and I had fun during our first visit to the gym (Fitness First) last night.

We went to the RPM class first and man, was I out of shape! I was exhausted after that class - doing a 15 minute warm up on the treadmill before class started. I liked that the instructor used electronic dance music (EDM) during the class and even ended the class playing one of my most favorite EDM tracks from Swedish House Mafia - Greyhound. (YouTube below)

After the class, I showed to CP some of the drills that we do in dragonboat training and did those as well. For cooldown, ran some more on the treadmill. Can't wait to explore other Fitness First gyms in Singapore to see the facilities haha. So, now, I have a membership in True Yoga and Fitness First as well. I should still be doing yoga classes during Mondays though since I already paid for the whole membership (until end of this year).

Going beyond the physical fun and exercise, we continue our playing around even in email. CP and I usually say, email me, email me...seeing who will eventually end up emailing first (I would say we're about tied). Just now, I find myself LOL-ing with the bit of word exchanges we had.

Subj: email me
