This morning's 45-minute workout session was very fruitful. I did three sets of lower abdomen exercises on the pool side lounger, stretching, star jumps, jump squats, hand weights, frog jumps, etc. before going for brisk walking and finally HIIT with jog and sprints for 15 minutes. I had a good sweat out and a much wanted high of endorphins, which put me in really good mood the whole day 😇
Why would anyone still not want to exercise when the benefits are in the jillions? No time is not an excuse. I can say that as I was once a full-time working mum with 2 babies under 2 years old then, who sacrificed my sleep, got up at 5 a.m. every single day and ran round the neighborhood with a baton or brolly in my hand (to ward off muggers) before travelling 25 km to my workplace. I stayed in Shah Alam and had to drive to Sri Kembangan to work. My working hours were long too. If I can do it, so can anyone.
One of the things that I intend to do when I retire is to spend an hour or two exercising once in the morning and once in the evening. I'll most likely even learn yoga or dancing. I'm going to keep myself more active than ever in my sunset years, just like my 73-year old mum who attends line dancing and qigong classes, keyboard classes, learns Mandarin herself from our girls' old kindergarten Chinese books (LOL) and recently bought an Angklung from Indonesia to play in her free time. She also tries new recipes regularly and bakes like a pro. I hope that she can continue to do all these activities to keep herself active physically and mentally for many, many more years.
Brunch was at the mamak with the hubs and Sherilyn. Today is the first day of her final exam!
I had tosai and teh tarik with no sugar. I gave specific instructions to the waiter that I wanted CRISPY and GARING tosai and he kept nodding his head but what came was totally opposite from what I ordered! I was in a hurry to send the hubs back to his office and Sherilyn to school and didn't bother to send the half-cooked tosai back to the kitchen to have it re-fried till it's crispy. I just ate half and discarded the other half. What a disappointment.
Hubby's rice with mixed dishes.
Sherilyn's mee goreng.
