I went jogging last Friday. Before work, I got up early and went jogging. Can you believe that? Normally I’ll get up at 9++ but that day I sacrifice my precious sleep just for that. Me getting up early to go jogging equals to going to the moon for some people.
What made me went jogging? Well I was just looking for a reason to try out my new reebok.
And oh yeah, I’m getting fat. It’s not like how it used to be when I can gain AND lose 3kg in less than a week. Now all the extra, unwanted fat seemed to find its permanent home in my body. Some of my shirts are getting tight at the tummy area. Embarrassing!
Getting fat was one of the reasons I went jogging. The other reason was I’m in a terrible shape right now. I got cramps a lot, lifting not-so-heavy staff will flattened me out. I can’t reach my toes standing up anymore. I used to do 250 push-ups everyday but now I’ll be lucky if I can do 10. It just occurred to me if I’m on a date and someone snatched my date’s bag I won’t even try to run after the snatcher because the chance of me getting back the bag is in the negative.
Sad isn’t it but that is the shape I’m in right now. So I need to do something. Going to
the gym is an option but I don’t wanna embarrassed myself in front of other people. With my fitness level, the gym instructor will have to start my fitness programme at the same intensity with an 80 year-old grandma. Pathetic, I’m not even fit to go to the place people go to get fit!
Another thing I can do is quit smoking. That’s so obvious. I’m not the heaviest of smokers but it’s getting worse everyday. Not too long ago, one pack can last for two days, then it changed to one and a half day but now it is a pack a day. I used to proudly tell people who ask me to quit smoking, “I can quit anytime I want but I enjoy smoking and I don’t want to quit, so leave me alone.” How things are different now. Last year’s fasting month was really2 hard because I kept feeling the urge to smoke. The previous years’ I was totally ok so things did change. I ‘need’ to smoke now, not just ‘want’ to smoke.
I know a few people who quit smoking at the snap of their fingers. They have been smoking since they were in their mother’s womb but when they wanted to quit they just did it, as simple as that. That was encouraging but I don’t think I can do that. I’ve tried before to see how long I can go without a smoke and it didn’t go long at all. I think the problem is I enjoy it too much. I smoke when I’m angry, sad, anxious, happy, excited and in all the existing state of emotions known to human. When I’m bored and have nothing to do I’ll smoke. After a meal I just have to smoke. For me having a great meal without smoking afterwards is like watching a good movie without turning on the sound. Impossible!
Maybe I will try one of those quit smoking gadget soon. But 'maybe' is a big word for me. So don’t expect me to do it anytime soon.
