Keeping fit

1. Life is good in London isn't it?
2. Can't tell that you have not been exercising...
3. Wah, you look a lot rounder now huh!

3 most common comments when I was back in Singapore. Basically it boils down to being out-of-shape. While Xueyan had the "fortune" of being told she has lost weight, I had to "suffer" the comments. For someone who used to lead an active lifestyle back in school and grew up laughing at my (formerly)plump sister, it was payback time.

So on our return we signed up at the nearby Reebok gym, a stone's throw from our place with the latest sports facilities such as climbing wall, heated pool and Pilate's classes. So are we THAT worried about being fat? To be honest, no. It's more of maintaining a healthy lifestyle, in line with dietary sensibilities. With news like heart diseases and diabetes making the rounds in the newspapers, it's always wise to be on the precautionary side. As said, we used to run regularly back in Singapore (even while we were in audit), so there is no reason to cease that. Always good to stress the heart and to enjoy the adrenaline rush.

What's next after signing up for the gym? Commitment to use the gym and maintain dietary discipline!
