SUPER MOM??? Trying to be...hahaha - EXERCISE & playtime with my KIDS...whom I love to bits!!!

Yesterday was a very productive day. I had an awesome workout at Canada Hill at my pace...which was even more awesome cause I almost killed myself in the process of trying to beat my personal time...hahaha... like I said before... sometimes I still think I'm 20yo. Today however, my muscles are aching!!! But that just proves that I had an awesome workout yesterday!!! WOOHOOO!!!!

So this is what happen...

4.30pm - Left Office

4.40pm - Got home to change

4.50pm - Pick Baby Josiah from his Nursery

4.55pm - Send him Home to my MIL and Mom (Thank goodness for them)

4.56pm - Left Home to head to Canada Hill

5.06pm - Reached Canada Hill and Waited for my colleague

5.10pm - Went in myself cause my colleague said he will be late..

5.15pm - Started my Hike at Hill No.2

5.45pm - Came out at Hill No.6 breathless cause I was trying to catch up with an Apek infront of me.     Found out that he was an impossible target...hahaha....

5.55pm - Left Canada Hill to pick up my Baby number 2, Mr. Jairus

6.05pm - Reached the Babysitters house, only to find it in a mess with Chairs being moved to the front of the door cause Mr.Jairus was trying to build a house....

6.07pm - Left the Babysitters house with Mr.Jairus in the car telling me he wanted to play ball

6.20pm - Reached home and moved the other car out of the car porch area so Mr.Jairus could kick the ball around. Carried little Mr. Josiah while kicking ball with Mr.Jairus cause Mr.Josiah was screaming his head off in the walker cause he wanted to be carried. Hubby came out to kick the ball around too...I thought that was superb cause this made it a family bonding time. Mr.Josiah had a good time laughing while I kicked the ball cause he thought it was super hilarious but after about 5 minutes into it, he didn't find it funny anymore.

6.30pm - Miss Seraphina decided to join us after she came out from the shower. So all five of us were outside in our little car porch area chasing the ball around. AWESOME RIGHT??? I thought it was.

6.45pm - It was getting dark...so told Mr.Jairus that the birds are heading home and to say Goodbye and Goodnight...and that is exactly what he did....then we all went inside.

6.47pm - I went to have a shower cause I finally realised that I stink!!! SO BAD!!!

6.55pm - Food set out for everyone to eat while I put the little Mr.Josiah to sleep.

7.15pm - My turn to eat!!! Mr.Jairus and Miss Seraphina was still eating...you know how kids are...they take forever to eat....

7.30pm - Headed over to my mom's side of the house cause Mr.Jairus wanted to play Drums on the chair (drum sticks were chopsticks...we had to be creative here..hahaha)...didn't want him to wake the baby up. After awhile, the hubby was with the chopsticks hitting the chair and so was my daugther who was also singing at the same time. Song for the night was the Cup Song from Pitch Perfect. Mr.Jairus was with the guitar...

7.50pm - Mr.Josiah decided he should wake up so he doesn't miss the fun...
8.00pm - Chased everyone into the bedroom to sleep.
8.30pm - Miss Seraphine was knocked out.
9.00pm - The Boys were knocked out and after that I was knocked out....

The end...it was definitely a super productive day yesterday....and I loved it!!!

By the way, do you know that it is always good to start teaching your kids to live a healthy lifestyle... this is how it can be done.... INTRODUCING to you my DARLING SISTER with Miss Seraphina & Mr.Jairus doing the push ups!!! TA-DA!!! haha...looks more like a mermaid... hahaha

And that's it from me!!! Thanks for reading!!! Psst...don't forget to exercise today yah!!! Skipping also can...walk with the kids outside also can...anything also can...as long as you exercise...ok? Alrighty! Over and out!!!

I want to be a SUPER FIT MOMMY!!! Possible??? Hell yah!!!

Yup I know, I've been missing from the blog world like forever...and yes I know I keep saying I'm back and will start writing again but only to disappear for months...I openly admit that.... and that is why this time I'm not going to say anything else on blogging consistently from now on but bare with me and stay tune... :P

I'm now a mom of 3 kids....an 8 year old daughter, a 2.5 year old boy and an 8 months old baby boy. Since I've only delivered 8 months ago... I've been struggling with trying to gain back whatever stamina I can and be like what I use to be 10 years ago.... hahaha... you must be thinking I'm crazy right? And you are indeed right! I know I'm half way to being 40 years old...but that is not going to deter me from being fitter and stronger than when I was in my 20s. :P

Life is short and being older doesn't me that we let go and let our body catch up with our age. We can always be OLD-er but still look and feel YOUNG-er....agree??? I'm positive I can be fitter, stronger and healthier than girls 10 years younger than me...haha...I'm positive and you should be too!!! Positive thinking is always good...:P But if you don't believe it is possible, let me just prove it to you.

So, this is what I'm going to do. First look at my stats below:

Weight                           : 47kg

Height                            : 150cm (I can't do much about my height unfortunately...hahaha)

BMI                               : 20.8

Whole Body Fat (%)     : 26.4

Skeletal Muscle (%)     : 23.2

Body Fat (%)                 : 33.9

Visceral Fat (%)            : 4

Real Age                        : 35yo

Body Age                       : 36yo (I'm freaking 1 year older!!!!)

Waist                              : 29inch

Hips                                : 35.5 inch

Arms (Relaxed/Flexed) : 10/10.5inch

For Definition of the Above: 

http://www.lifestyleforhealth.com/index.cfm?id=20d9e127-c46b-4fba-8e8af2da83890002&number-meaning.html

Note that my pre-pregnancy weight was 44kg, hence my aim to reach that target. Please note also that I LOVE TO EAT!!! If you were to ever want to bring me out for a lunch or dinner buffet, I can honestly say that you will not regret it!!! hahaha.... 

Anyway, looking at my stats above, my aim is to: 

DECREASE 'Weight', 'Whole Body Fat', 'Body Fat', 'Visceral Fat', 'Body Age', 'Waist', 'Hips' & 'Arm - Relaxed'

INCREASE 'Skeletal Muscle' & 'Arms - Flexed Variance from Relaxed'

My aim is to do this in 4 weeks!!! If I'm successful (and as a mom of 3 kids), then you will have no excuse whatsoever that you won't be able to do it...RIGHT??? Let's do this together shall we??? All You need is a PAIR of RUNNING SHOES (and maybe an MP3 player or your smartphone will do - for music purposes to keep you entertain while you run or walk) and you are GOOD TO GO!!! 

You just need ONE HOUR a DAY to get out there and walk or run or both. if you haven't done it in ages, start WALKING first... but FAST WALK lah.... cause you need to get your heart rate up in order to lose/burn the fat.. I've heard that exercising in the morning burns more fat that doing it in the evening...so if you can't seem to fit exercise into your evening schedule, then by all means do it in the morning after the kids go to school. Base on Malaysian School Time, Your kids should be in school by 7am, so send them earlier like 6.30am, then head to a Park and WALK for ONE HOUR!!! Then go home, bath and head off to work...in a couple of weeks of doing that you will honestly feel so much better than you would previously.

(Headphones - Check!, Running Shoes - Check!, Nice Weather - Check!, Still Breathing - Check!)

So are you in for the Challenge??? You have nothing to lose right. I'm not asking you to starve yourself, I'm just asking you to Exercise More than usual and maybe eat half of what you always eat everyday for 4 weeks. Let's do it!!! Let us MOMS prove to the world that we are SUPER MOMS and nothing can deter us from being HOT & SEXY!!! hahaha.... ok ok I'm overdoing it but You get the DRIFT!!! ;)

On my side...this is what I'm going to do... I'm going to try and stick to the schedule below:

Monday - Hiking

Tuedsday - Run (4 to 5 KM)

Wednesday - Netball

Thursday - Hiking or Run (whichever I feel like during that day :P)

Friday - Rest

Saturday - Run & Walk with Son in Stroller 

Sunday -Rest

And everyday add in: 

10 push ups, 10 sit ups, 10 squats, 10 Right Leg Forward Lunge & 10 Left Leg Forward Lunge

(Repeat for 4 Weeks - )

And Lets See Results!!! Woohoo!!! Will update progress weekly :)

P/S. Don't procrastinate and say you will start tomorrow, JUST START TODAY!!! ;) 

That's it from me today!!!

Almost 37 Weeks of being Pregnant...

At this stage:

• I can't sleep on one side for two long, my ass gets cramped on the right if I sleep on the right for too long, then when I flip to my left (which is a pretty tough task) and sleep too long on my left, ass gets cramp on the left. And when I finally wake up in the morning after tossing and turning to the right and to the left, both sides of my ass hurts from the cramps throughout the night. It only goes away by noon.....hahaha......and when I walk into my office, I try to pretend as if nothing hurts.....:P
• Surprisingly my feet has yet to swell and neither has any other part of my body from water retention.....I guess when that happens, it probably means I'm so much closer to labor!!! Well, hopefully that doesn't happen anytime soon.....since I'm planning for a C-section.... :D
  
• I keep craving for sweet stuff....and i drink lots of ribena these days....hopefully my baby doesn't come out purple...hahaha...like barney :P
• I can't sit down properly cause no matter how I sit, its just super uncomfortable....
• I can't lie down flat cause I can't breathe if I do so.
• I walk at such a slow pace these days, that it's just sad!!! And after I finish walking up the steps, I'm seriously breathless.....that I'm not use too.....I don't recall being that way when I was carrying Sera...I guess age is catching up!!!

I could go on and on and on....but you get the drift.....the only consolation to everything that I'm going through now is that I only have to tolerate this for another 3 more weeks!!! WOOHOO!!!!

And at the end of it all, when my little miracle baby comes out......IT WILL BE ALL WORTH IT!!!

3 more weeks!!!! That's all 3 more weeks!!!

That's it from me....GOODNIGHT!!!

P/S. If you never see a tummy move with a baby inside, check out my previous post....I videoed my tummy....very cool I must say!!! Something I can show my baby when he grows up ;)
