Third Time's the Charm

For the third time in my entire life, I joined Fitness First. I think I have been a member of the gym since 2008 but only lasted my "rigorous" routine for 1 month. Well, I really think third time's a charm with me.

Hi to the 2 "makulit" trainers behind me, who wanted to be seen in my blog!
Now you're here guys!

I think the only thing that has stopped me from achieving my goals in Fitness First before was because I did not get a Personal Trainer. That's because they were so expensive!

these are not as easy as I'd like them to be... 

But thinking about it, I really do need someone who will be strict with me and PUSH me to spend at least an hour in the gym. I remember before I would arrive in the gym, go to the locker to leave my things and go out. After a few minutes inside the gym, I would return to my belongings and head home. Yeah, I've been bad.

Well, this time's really different.

I made a pact last time to purchase 1 item of frenzy every paycheck I make. That's because I did not do any shopping for at least a year. When I opened my closet, I realized I needed new underwear, shirts, dresses and shoes. I started with this pact a month ago. When I joined Fitness First, I decided to hold back on this pact.

Instead of spending money on clothes, I will use the money to pay for my PT. So right now, no more shopping for me. That's at least a couple of months! I think this is the best way I can spend my hard-earned money. I deserve to be fit, healthy and lose weight. I really do. Just like my life coach said last time:

You say you love yourself, what are you doing to show that?

I've been going to the gym rigorously for the past month. I spent between 3-4 days in the gym, sometimes even 5.

seriously, I feel like we are just playing around in the gym!

Fitness First Cut The Fat Challenge

Fitness First- Cut the Fat Challenge

Since January of this year, I have been engrossed in a new Facebook Application that has taken my mind off a few things, including work! The Fitness First- Cut the Fat Challenge is an interesting Facebook game which is sort of like The Biggest Loser. Only this time, it's your fingers that are doing all the hard work.

You start with 300 pounds and work your way through every 1 pound you lose. This means you need energy to workout. And in order to have energy, you have to eat. In order to eat, you need money. You can get more money every workout you get. And this is a cycle which goes on and on. In order to lose 1 pound, you have to get rid of all the fat. Once you do, you lose one pound and you get another set of fat which you need to lose.

While this may seem like such a boring game, there is a catch that will tickle your fancy. The biggest loser of this game will win a 1 year membership at Fitness First and an iPod Touch. Up for grabs are also SGD money (paid through PayPal), Fitness First 6 months membership, Fitness First Free 7 Days, and a Fitness First Bottle.

Try it. You might join the crew in trying to beat one another. The game ended last January 31, 2010 but has yet began another round for February. Hurry! The biggest loser right now only weighs 128 lbs!
