… to the G-Y-M :D Heh… After many hesitations and procastinations (on my part) - I have finally signed off a portion of my monthly salary to join a gym!

So what finally made me bite the bullet? :D I went home to Ipoh one weekend in December. Dropped by La Salle Centre to say hi. Bumped into Bro. Matt, who none too subtly told me “You have GRROOOWWNNN!!” -_-

Soooo… what else can you do after a Brother (a La Salle Brother from school nonetheless) tells you that you have PUT ON WEIGHT??!! Join gym lo… much to Merv’s delight - haha. Now he got kaki to go gym with. The man’s been at me to join the gym for the past few months but i resisted cos I’ve always been of the why-pay-good-money-to-exercise-when-you-can-run-around-outside-your-home-for-free school of thought.

But… 1 month down the road, I’ve had no regrets so far. We aimed to go everyday but so far are averaging about 3-4 days of the week, which is pretty good anyway methinks :) We’ve even started going for the classes (earning aching muscles the next day, but feels good anyway).

And really, it makes a diff when you have someone to go gym with. If I’d joined it alone I’d probably be too lazy to go even on weekends, much less after work on weekdays :P Plus it is kinda fun and non-boring cos you get to play around with the different exercise machines there (and watch tv while you exercise!)

For now, I’m not even looking at the weight-loss angle first. Just want to get the momentum going (making gym a regular activity) and building up from there. So here’s to leading a healthier and more active lifestyle!
