Challenges

Believe me, One of my greatest challenges in life is probably getting myself geared up to jog. Ever since my high school times, taking part in track and field, I never thought of getting myself to jog any longer. I hate to jog.
It's pretty weird, I don't know when, I don't know why, I decided to force myself to get myself fit. I was skinny 37... and since I have been eating well despite my downturn, I went to 40 kg. It's uncomfortable at first. Because the moment I have put on those weight, I felt flabby. Don't get me wrong; I don't feel fat, just... Flabby... Now those 2 are huge of difference. I still thin, but I felt "rubber-ey". I don't feel good, in fact I felt like a lazy person, storing those fats hard inside my body, without even trying to convert them to muscle.

I hate this...

But I really took that step of faith to get myself work out 3 weeks ago. I set weekly alarms for me to jog every alternate days of the week.

Trust me, it's never easy.

1st day, I fell down from my bed, hearing the "Jogging Alarm". 2nd day, I wanted to throw my phone off my bed, 3rd day, I force myself outta bed eventually. How I hope I can continue to sleep... My laziness truly gets the better of me. 4th day, I said to myself, "I should reward myself today, I should just sleep my way through"... However, the angel side of me telling me, "Once you stop, you will never Start... Ever again!". So there I was, jumped off my bed as quickly as I can right before the "Devil" me got the chance to push me off to bed again.

Believe me, subsequently... I feel good about myself...
Jogging... Not only helped me to be fit, spiritually and mentally, I got better. I feel great, energized and more focus on the things I want to achieve in my life.

I am so high that I even grab few friends to exercise with me. Now, not only the matter of jogging, but exercising... We started to swim together, jog together and cycle together. Let me tell you, How I loved cycling, especially at East Coast; listening to my I-Pod (Mainly the Mayday's), the happiness gets the better of me.

I guessed, it applies to our daily lives as well... There are many times when we are just snapped and refused to do anything. You are tired! You wanna stop! But, I guessed, maybe... running and attaining what you want in life is the same. You never start, You never try, you will still the "0" you. But once, you get yourself geared up and started, you are on top of the world.

So, Folks... Be it exercising or be it doing the things you do daily, let's us Run together... 'Til the finishing line.

Love,
