have to get started again

i really have to start on my workout schedule again. haven't been doing any serious workout except for brisk walking. and that is only when i'm going to work and coming back home. i make it a point to walk from home to the mrt station in the morning and back in the evening.

3 years of intensive workout and suddenly stopping is definitely not a good idea. the latest you can totally stop if you regularly workout is up to 2 months. after that it's back from scratch. i don't mind the starting from scratch workout but the sagging of the muscles that you have toned over the years is what's really bothering me now. it's worse than fats!!! you look all flabby where u used to be toned and firm. i can't bear looking into the mirror. makes me want to cry :*(

it's not that i don't have the time at all or the equipment. you don't need much of those. just 15-20 mins each day is enough. it's the motivation that i lack now. even looking into the mirror doesn't give the push to make me start. i know, i know, i'm a big procrastinator.it's the worst habit to have but you just can't shake it off just like that. ok now that i've confessed i'm going to do something tonight. if i don't then bite me...hahah!!

it's the 12th day of Ramadhan already. almost half gone. what have you done so far? i'm trying my best to recite the Qur'an daily. don't think i can finish it but i'm doing what i can. work and studies are taking up most of my time. exam's next week and i'm taking another week off to clear my leave. can't wait...YIPPEEE!!!

here's something for the day (or till the next update) :
