Day 3

Felt better enough today to run an extra mile. My legs felt very good today so I just continued to keep running. In my mind, running burns more calories than any other cardio, especially the elliptical. I used to do the elliptical as a sort of cop out when I felt too lazy to run but just recently I measured my calories burned and the elliptical burns far less calories. Weirdly, I sweat like a pig on the elliptical but not as much on the treadmill. I started the 50 days armed with my own music but by the third day, the music becomes too repetitive and I find myself skipping songs more often than not. Enter online radio! I always choose some 90’s or 2000 pop hits because I haven’t heard those songs in a long time and they really bring up memories of my childhood. Hope eventually I also don’t get sick of that too.

Day 2

More running and still a slower pace. Went to the apartment gym today and kind of hurting at the money it takes. I’m considering buying the monthly pass for the month of June just so I will make sure to go everyday. We went and watched X-Men and you know what that means, usually greasy and oh so delicious snacks at the theatre. I don’t think I did so bad… I had an egg mcmuffin as a snack (200cal), noodles with tomato/egg and chive dumplings for dinner, and then perhaps about a small piece of fried chicken and a red bean milk tea for the movie. I felt satisfied enough as usually I would have my own extra large chicken steak AND a bubble tea.

This has become my current noodle obsession and I plan on having it very soon. Mmm!

Day 1

I started day 1 at the apartment gym, which was 15HK for each time. I already have a gym membership, but the weather has been incredibly humid and hot that it just wasn’t worth it to brave the heat and go. I didn’t want to exercise too strenuously because I hadn’t exercised at all for months and was scared of cramping up my legs really badly. So I ran really slowly and focused on tuning myself to music. Although it was a slow run, time went by fast because I kept daydreaming about all the things I could wear and do when I finally reached my goal. Also, really loved imagining the looks on peoples’ faces when they see how much I’d changed. Yes, I used to weigh much much more back in Uni, and especially my highest in high school, and yes I am quite shallow and vain.
