Personal Achivement

For the past 9 weeks I have been Following a training program that will help me to stop being a potato couch and be able to run...until 5K.

The name of this training program is called Couch to 5K (C25K). Basically it is a workout 3 times a week up to 9 weeks from 20 to 40 minutes long.

It us more of building up stamina.  So for a person like me who hates walking up steps and it totally breathless exerting any energy at all I wanted to challenge myself and see if I could really make it to 5K.

I highly doubted it....but....on September 15, 2011 I finally ran 5K! It was the last week of the training.  I have run another 5K and tonight I plan to run another 5K.  Man! I can't believe I'm talking 5K!

It hasn't been easy but consistency and perseverance seriously pay.  And I have also seen a huge difference it bring on my energy during the day at work.  I don't feel so exhausted as I used to.  I'm super patient with my students now...it does help it does.

Oh and it's fun.  The runner's high is addictive!

The rout I ran on my very first 5K!

Actually to be exact it was 5.45K! 

I was/am really really happy...

Our Pattay Trip Agenda

As you probably know from my facebook album I got back last week from Pattaya.  The Singapore SDA Conference (AKA the pastors and their families) went on a retreat to Pattaya.  At first I was kinda sceptical about a retreat to Pattaya.  But the resort was really nice and we all had a good time!  Quality time with Bayu and bonding time with the other Pastor families.  You can see the rest of the pictures here.

I just wanted to record my wonderful moments and memories of last week onto this blog :)  The pictures portray a portion of our agenda while we were there.

So happy to be leaving!

We were able to meet dad at the airport.

We stopped by at lotus and had MK.
Then bought durian which we ate while in the warm jacuzzi.

Went for morning runs.

Swam at the beach.

Ate local food.

Massage!

Fajita Salad

I've kind of been up to a few things lately which I will go into detail in  on later posts.  But one of the latest is that I've been trying to live a healthy lifestyle.  One way is to eat healthier!  I've cut down ALOT (*sob haha) on unhealthy stuff and food I really love....to the point where I had severe sugar withdrawal.  But I'm doing well compared to before...as in there is some improvement on my food impulses...LOL.

I try to eat more healthy stuff like whole wheat, and grain (still find it hard to swallow brown rice though).  And wherever I go to eat or buy groceries I look for the healthier choice symbol that Singapore uses:

I've also tried to find interesting recipes that are tasty and healthy.  Below is the link where I got my Fajita Salad Recipe as well as the pictures of my finished product of the salad:

Where I got my recipe










I doubled the recipe so that the salad will last a few days.  I put a bit too much onions so I have total onion breath LOL but it tasted good!  Try it sometime people.

Oh yeah I'm also just learning the terms and names of healthy/unhealthy stuff which bayu is teaching me haha...it's alot easier to go on a healthy journey with a partner and I'm glad Bayu is helping me.  All the best to us!! =)

Laterz!
