Thanks to a piece of chocolate cheesecake that I ate right before my usual lunch time (11:30am) and the smallest chocolate ice-blended that the shop sell, I felt so full so lunch that I brought from home, I ate it in small bites from around 1pm to 5pm! A very, very long lunch - 3 bites then did some tasks then another 3 bites and I would walk to somewhere and the process repeated till the last spoon of rice and fish.
I'm so weak against people buying food for me LOL
Anyhow, something to cheer up - I got my reward for achieving goal 5500 jump rope this month. I promised myself that I will not get that ice-blended drink till I got my goal and oh, there were lots of time that I was so tempted to buy the drink! Lots of near misses! But I managed to survive so the reward was more delicious than I ever imagined :D And I didn't buy it myself, hehe. It was a friend who the bought the chocolate cheesecake and the smallest chocolate ice-blended - that smallest chocolate ice-blended (I requested that and no cream, thank you very much!) is my April Reward :D
Sometimes I feel so cheap or looking so pitiful, with other people keep buying me food, haha. Maybe I do look sad that people feel sorry for me or maybe I always share food that people gave me? Anyhow, no complain but just accept with big grin like Cheshire Cat :D

I still couldn't get past my limit 30-min workouts except for 1-hour pilate class, walk/jog at park and occasionally, aerobic class. Which is why I much prefer workouts that I can do at short time but moderate-to-high intensity. Hmm, maybe because it's so intense for my body that I can't get over 30-min, haha. At least, I know when to stop rather than push forward and have unfortunate incident of a young lady fainted from her workout :D

This week, the challenge is to do Quickies Combo!
What's Quickies Combo (MY definition)? It's a set of exercises that I will do in 5-min or less. For example, for Quickies Combo Lower Body, 1 set is 1 rep for each Forward Lunges, Side Lunges, Reverse Lunges and High Knee. So, I need to do as many sets as I can in 5-min or less. My goal is to do at least 10 sets for each Quickies Combo :D
So, the plan:
- Monday: Quickies Combo Lower Body (DONE!)
- Tuesday: Quickies Combo Core (DONE!)
- Wednesday: Quickies Combo Upper Body
- Thursday: Quickies Combo Pylometric
* Friday is off day :D

I felt much better after 2 full days rest (and it was weekend so no stress from work, hehe). But still dizzy and a slight uncomfort with my throat and a bit feverish, I think from the heat when I drove back home - the car was parked at full-expose area so the inner was oven-hot and it also still too hot on my way back, the air-con thankfully helped to cool down a bit. So, for Spring Into Shape Challenge (SIS) workouts, I did most of the exercises at half repetitions. Even my jump rope speed was decreased, the first two 1-min interval were less than 120 jumps (my minimum jumps per minute).
Lately, our family have fishes for dinners and lunches and those fishes are so fresh and delicious, mmmm. Even if just grilled or fried! I love live in this state where we can get lots of fresh sea products at cheap prices :D

Thanks to TOM, my body had lots of aches, sorenesss and cramps at the middle section. And I was more sleepier than ever, thankfully it were Saturday & Sunday :D
So, no exercise, just spend more time lying on my stomach - I felt much better in this position :D Besides, whenever I tried to workout on my first few days of period, it would become much worse and it felt so icky (heavy flow, lots of blood, sorry, Too Much Info, haha).
Oh, and I ate lots of fruits for my Workdays Challenge #03 - bananas, watermelon, honeydew and pineapple, mmmmmm.
