Fitness Tip of the Day
11 Tactics to Get More from Your Gym Sessions:
Cut your sessions to 45 minutes
Your gym sessions should not go for longer than 45 minutes. Any long than this and your body starts to produce a chemical that can actually hamper your progress. But that is not the only reason. If you cut your session times down you will be forced to fit more in and work harder. This is a fantastic way to work out – intensely.Breakfast @ 8.30am
Half a plain bun with egg and vegetables. Cup of homemade passionfruit tea. Seaweed-flavoured peanut slab.
Gym @ 10am
25 minutes cardio: 10 minutes rowing (was aiming for 15 but the machine was broken) + 15 minutes cross-trainer (aerobics mode, sort of like interval training).
15 minutes weight training.
Lunch @ 2pm
Potato and ham quiche.
Short black. My first non-mocha coffee experience. Ohh mah fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck. Will stick to green tea as the weight loss drink. Once in a life time is more than enough for that kind of ordeal. *shudders*
Dinner @ 7pm
Bowl of red rice congee with egg and vegetables. Half slice of red bean cake. Small bowl of mung bean soup.

Weight Loss Tip of the Day
Exercising But Still Gaining Weight:
Stress and Weight Gain
Stress can lead to mindless eating, like snacking on chips or cookies without thinking about how many you’re actually consuming. Or stress can contribute to excessive production of the hormone cortisol by the adrenal glands. When that happens, the body starts to store more calories as fuel and slow down its metabolism. If your workout itself is stressing you out because you don’t like the particular exercises, the gym atmosphere, your aerobics teacher or whatever the cause, make a change that will keep you active and make your workouts more enjoyable and less stressful.Lunch @ 11am
Bowl of vegetarian noodles.
Drink @ 3pm
Few sips of chocolate chip flavoured coffee.
Snack @ 5pm
Shared McDonalds medium chips with boyfriend. I had about 1/3.
Dinner @ 6pm
Bowl of mushroom and corn soup. 1 dumpling. Small bowl of pumpkins.
No Exercise
My legs are still sore from dancing and Wii Fit two days ago! Ouch.
