Chinese New Year has come and gone but my weight has stayed. I have put on something like 3 kg. So I now have to lose all that and return to my pre-Christmas and Chinese New Year weight of 64 kg.
When I looked at the mirror in my bathroom, I looked terribly awful. My son has just as big a girth, and he plays tennis. Little Emma has developed a rounded belly. Whenever I tickled her, she breaks out into giggles. She is actually quite proud of it, and often makes fun of herself showing it off, distending it more.
For the past week, I have returned to my brisk walk on the jogging track. The last time I did that was June last year, before my house move. After my house move, I was happy that my weight had dropped to 64 kg.
The new jogging track here is nice. It is perhaps a little longer than my previous track. It is not flat but undulating having to make that extra effort in coping with the gradient. There are more trees here, with the track leading into the fitness corner, tucked away in an open space. The trees provide a nice and cool shade. It is possible to even have a picnic under the trees, for there are stools and benches provided.
And so with the pleasant surrounding, I ventured out last Monday afternoon. In one hour, I completed four and a half laps. I felt very relieved after that and all my stiffness went away driving away my depressive mood. The workout made me perspire and although I was tired, I felt high. I was to repeat all that on Wednesday and Thursday. I feel that with this new regime, I should be able to lose that extra kg. Now I can tell my doctor that I have resumed my walking exercise.
My appetite is still good and I am trying to control my snacking which contributes to my weight gain.
On the cooking front, my roast pork has improved and last Saturday, my roast pork was crunchy and nice. The pork was roasted on the rotisserie, which seem to make the difference. I have several ideas in mind and hope to roast a duck when I can find people to eat it. This evening I have to roast a chicken.
Till then....
