Apparently my body is made up of 24% of fat. That means I'm carrying around approximately 11.28kg of fat. Not much, really. About a sack of rice that can feed my family for like, 6 to 8 months. Not much at all huh?

But seriously, I'm not getting anorexic. I'm still eating, in fact, I had two humonguous bowls of rice on Sunday. But thanks to my newly-muscled gym buddy, I've embarked on (yet another) exercise regime. After slacking off my thrice-a-week gym sessions to about once-a-week, he has inspired me to get back on my feet by waving a book under my nose (along with his triceps).

So Monday (that's yesterday) was the official 'first day' although I had a trial session on Saturday that gave me sore (soon-to-appear) abs yesterday. But the real treat yesterday was bumping into his super cute would-be fitness instructor. All I can say is, no wonder he won the Manhunt title! Droolsworthy - nothing on Wu Chun, but few can compare anyway. It was distracting to have a cutie strutting around gym when one is drenched in perspiration and trying desperately to keep face from contorting with exertion. Enough about the cute fitness instructor and more on my exercise regime, I started doing circuits, which is supposed to help me train my core strength. And the exercise involved weights. I bench-pressed 10kg (ah-huh! Almost the same weight as my fats!), did biceps curls of 6.8kg and assort other exercises. I hope I don't look like Chunli (of Street Fighter) after all the training. That would be damn scary. The worst part is liposuction wouldn't work on muscles!

So, anyway, according to the book, I should have less than 20% body fat for my abs to show. And apparently that works out to 1kg of weight loss. Whatever... as long as I LOOK slimmer, it would mean effort is well worth it.

Of course, no exercise regime is complete without diet. So starting from yesterday I decided to eat heathily. Healthily ok? Not don't eat, but eat healthy stuff. Like yogurt. Eggs. Banana. Subway. And today was a bring from home sandwich. Open-faced peanut butter sandwich. Grapes. Think I'll make my Tuna Pasta for lunch tomorrow. Yummy... Think it's time for my snack (more grapes!). I'm giving it 2 weeks (the book says 2 weeks can see some results, otherwise I'm trashing the damn book. And Aaron.) before I go stand on my weighing scale and break out the measuring tape.

Stay tuned!

P.S. My cheat meal today was the most sinful thing ever: cheese & chocolate fondue. But I must say that they're worth every single calorie. But back to the punishing diet for another week tomorrow!
