I want more of that health, I want more of that wealth, I want more of that patience, I want more of that intelligence, I want more of that creativity, I want more of that laughter, I want more of that energy, I want more of life, I know it can give me that, I am in the process of getting them.

Healthy Strides

I think we are an overfed society. We bump into the restaurants, mamak bistros, food stalls and food courts everywhere we turn that open 24 hrs a day. I've always had weight issue since I was 12 years old. I put on weight easily and the many eating places plus the hours that I keep are just not helping.

It's always a struggle for me. To look good and to feel good means I have to jog on the treadmill for 40 mins, ride the exercise bike for 20 mins and another 20 mins on the slider, 5 times a week. And still, I am all about thunder thighs. Now, with the tight schedule, I have to forgo the gym sessions. Brisk walking at the lake most days of the week, is the option now.

Does this sound like I'm complaining? That is certainly not the intention. As the result of doing power walks during dawn, my face actually glows, so why complaint? Yes, my skin just looks better and healthier. Plus, I manage to persuade Amir to come along. It's quality time well spent!

Uh huh! Now I know the secret of glowing skin .. yes, I was up at dawn.. but there's no lake in my area la ... Hmmm does that 'still air' of the morning make the skin glow or something else?..
