InBody Assestment#2

Remember about my weight loss journey post after my breakup which I posted somewhere in November last year? Read here. In fact, the first assessment was actually a baseline measurement. Well, my second measurement supposedly be done before Christmas 2020, but, me being the forgetful type have missed the chance (ie: measurements can not be taken after a workout or having meal). The measuring machine were rotated among the gyms in Kuantan. Normally it gets rotated back to the gym after I month. And yess, finally I get to do my assessment in March (after a good 4 months).

Here’s the side by side comparion:-

By roughly looking at it, my overall score has improved by 1 point. 72 to 73. I’m still getting a B for my performance. But, let’s not be influenced by the Asian mom mentality, and move on to the details. The fitness trainer said I have done pretty well actually looking at how I have gained some muscles and lost fats in the months. Even though my overall weight has gained, but I have shed fat and gain muscle. In other words, I’m heading towards the right direction in achieving my goal. Also, there is incremental on my leg muscles (thanks to running everyday ever since MCO started). No wonder, I feel my inner thighs has not been slapping each other lately. Another thing to note is that my stomach buldge has also flattened a little from freaking 200% to 193%. Goshh…. i want that barbie-waistline.

I guess, what work well to each individual is different. I felt what work well for me in this 4months was skipping night time dinner and doing alot of running. Running has improved from merely 3k run to 5k routine run. Here’s the side by side run comparison from I initially started in November:

But I had stopped running since CNY because I have injured my knees T_T Really looking forward to running to my favourite pop songs again. Oh yess, another thing that has worked for me was stop watching movies. I tend to snack when I watch movie, otherwise I will find the movie boring or not interesting.

Happy Christmas!

Its been a wonderful holiday to me. Yes, is Friday, some of my colleague complained why is on a Friday when they have to go back to work tomorrow. Well, to me, a holiday is syill a holiday.

Today i got to do some of the things i really been looming forward to do much, that is painting, reading and running! Glad I got to do them all today!

Painting:

Little snowman

My first watercolor doodle from something Christmassy. And something little comfortable

The study of an eye from Yong Chen, watercolor

Then as I got more comfortable, I moved on to painting something more realistic. I am not courageous enough to draw with watercolor yet, so I outlined it with my pencil first

Minimalist Boho Chic Art with Acrylic

I just bought a 30x30cm canvas, so I tried to paint something which I could use as a decoration in my room. Turns out acrylic is not yet my forte. Bought a few more canvas to explore on acryllic pouring in the coming days

Reading:

The Love Market, Marina Ashade

This book caught my eyes when I was browsing for Lillian Too’s 2021 calendar at Popular. Basically, it is a book about the economics and to spice things up, sex. Interesting, but Im still reading into it

Running:

My run progress so far as on strava

I realized my optimal running and anaerobic performance is better when I did Galloway’s Run Walk Run strategy. However, my total pace is slower. Hm, Im still testing on it. Regardless, I am definitely running faster a montj ago. Im a happy girl, yippeee

My running pace when i first started

Break-Up Day 16: Start a fresh at gym

To measure my recovery process towards self betterment, I needed a baseline to measure my progress. So I went to gym and did an InBody assessment. After some discussions with my coach, I find out that I’m slightly overweight, have a body which resembles closely to a man, and have waay to many visceral fats to loose. Fuck 200% of fats is centered on my stomach. To measure my recovery process towards self betterment, I needed a baseline to measure my progress. So I went to gym and did an InBody assessment.

My next weigh in should be right before Christmas.

23rd Nov InBody Assesmment

Also, here’s also my baseline from Strava from my recent runs. After 1 week of running, I’m starting to feel lesser huff and puff after 10mins of running. But I’m still very far from my past performance. #havefaith

Strava Run

My goal is to be in my best shape before Chinese New Year 12th Feb 2021

Plans for the following weeks:-

  • Reduce carbs intake
  • Reduce sugar
  • Reduce snacking
    • I realized that I only snack when I watch TV
    • it’s like eating popcorn while we go to cinemas
    • I need to cultivate new hobbies to replace watching movies or replace snacking
