Over-doing it, you say?

Oooo I forgot to mention in my previous blog that my other aim during my time off from work now is to.... shed some pounds.
Okie that was phrased too nicely. Basically Im way overweight and need to lose it!
My trip back to KL didnt help as I was literally eating bout 5 meals a day. All thanks to the deprived-me of excellent roti canai, teh tarik, nasi lemak, wan tan mee, fried koey teow and of course the best of all... mum's and dad's cooking!

So, to help me achieve my goal I have signed up with a local gym which my flatmate and I 'stumbled' upon during our quest to search for da ultimate gym that can save us from falling further into the land of no return! hehe.

The gym is called Sky the fitness club situated at 16th floor of Harbourfront Tower 2 next to Vivo City.
Extremely affordable rates (remember, im without salary this month :) ) with fairly decent equipment and an extraordinary view of Sentosa island and the waters beyond that. Best of all, it offers a concierge service as well as a cosy lovely place to dine in and relax.
Very nice...

Since I came back from KL, I ve been going diligently everyday. Have to make full use of my $$$ / investment.
Sky also offers variety of classes ranging from their most popular Yoga class conducted by Master Suresh who apparently has decades worth of Yoga teaching experience, to kick boxing classes (anger management anyone?)

Today, for some reason I was highly motivated and enthusiastic about working out that I joined 3 classes with Steps in the morning followed by Latin Jam and Yoga in the evening.

Steps class was very fun. Of course it could have been more fun if there were more ppl than just... ME alone with the instructor.
Latin jam was a totally different ball game altogether. IDid I say that I wanted ppl? Oh yea there were people and when the music started it looked like they've done this ALL their lives! I was so lost at the steps. So many Jennifer Lopez's moves. Nevertheless, I truly enjoyed myself.

I ended the day with a Yoga class. This was my 2nd Yoga class that I have attended. My oh my... it was nothing like the first. Oh the first one was easy -pee sy. Again, I was the novice. Everyone else were doing stands on their HEADS! Both feet up in the air, straight. Followed by weird ass movements of the legs mid-air mimicking the blades of a helicopter, cycling, and twisting and turning of the spine - mid air! hah beat that!
Okie, so I panicked and chickened out. As they were carrying out their highly skilled movements, I signalled to the instructor that I wanted to leave, but... nope - not allowed.
Master Suresh reassured me that I wont do 'stunts' that my body cant cope.
Guess what?

I did it.

Yup, balancing on my head with my legs up in the air. I wished i had a picture to show.
Also, I managed to do other weird ass stuff in all the most awkward positions that you can think of! hehehe.....
Apparently during the class as we had our heads and spine bent backwards almost reaching our toes, I blacked-out.

Yes, I was in la-la land when I felt something hitting my head and slapping my face.
When I opened up my eyes, all eyes were starring at me. Everyone else was well seated and me? Oh just sprawled on the floor with my chin on the mat and the instructor patting my head.
Oh how embarrassing!

Likely a vasovagal syncopal attack that I had or maybe just really low sugars ;)

Well, no worries folk!

Please continue to support me in my quest to lose weight.

Till then....
