Short-term (June 2009)

Carrot : I would like to complete the entire marathon by non-stop jogging
Stick : Will lose to the older aunties and uncles (basically everybody) in the marathon

*Note : Need to lose about 3kg so that I won't need to carry 82-84kg (my bodyweight throughout the marathon)

Longterm Carrot (December 2009)

Carrot 1: To be lean and rip, body fat levels below 15%
Carrot 2: To be slightly stronger (not weaker due to drop of bodyweight). Goals = 10 reps of 120kg full squat with smith machine (currently 95kg), 10 reps of dumbbells benchpress @ 85lbs each, (currently 75lbs per arm)

Stick : Will result looking like a fat ass who doesn't hit the gym often and hard enough.

*Note : I will need to pull about 3 gym sessions per week and during rest day doing some light cardiovascular exercises.

kianweic,
sticks are optional, actually. but when you do have them, they gotta be something brutal like "if i slack on my diet, all that hardwork, blood, sweat, tears at the gym will go down the drain". that will make you rethink about that Big Mac with fries and Coke

@Syd G

Thanks, admended slightly.

@All,

At some days, I will have the tendency to skip gym some days resulting in only 2 x gym sessions in a week. Please give me a hard time and try to piss / tick me off. I work out harder and more instensively when I am pissed / annoyed.

Thank you.

Carrot-Lose the freaking big gut that i have.

Stick-I'd look into the mirror and kick myself for not trying hard enough.


My waist is currently at 39",really need to do something about that.

I think you need a better stick that is more self-motivating if you find that you cannot stick to your fitness diet.

I suppose you can find a gym buddy but a lot of it would have to be decided by yourself.

I would suggest that you buy a mirror that makes you look distortedly fat! Cheapo mirrors will do.

Tough love

My stick - I told my husband that if I dont lose another 2kg for the marathon, I'll buy him 10 cartons of cigarettes. I REALLY dont want to do that, so I'll remember that whenever I feel lazy or demotivated.

That should encourage him to cook for you,lol

Yo pedro,

Hitting the gym tomorrow night?

I really dislike hump day's gym sessions.

@myremi,
I need external motivation for working out 3 times or more per week. I usually managed to do 2 sessions per week after work.

However, I do agree about having a mirror in the room as I have none and most of the time I can't be bothered looking at myself at the mirror on a daily basis.

my carrots: just wanna be fit and wanna look good in clothes without the belly bulge. and also to eat without guilt~!

so far...no stick yet.

pedro,
He can cook a mean Maggi goreng with telur mata. It sucks to see him gorge all that calories without putting a pound on (he's 1.75m @68kg ) whilst I have to settle with steamed broccoli and grilled chicken breast.

who says you can eat without guilt after you've lost all that bulges? actually it will make you even more food-conscious cause you want to maintain that sexy body of yours

here's my tip on eating without guilt : earn it. i love cheesecake but they're 300kcals a pop. i'm gonna run 5k first to offset those calories. then after all that sweat, if i think it's worth it to hv that piece of cheesecake, i'll hv a piece of the bestest cheesecake i can find (either from coffee bean or secret recipe)

PG Version :

It sounds like you're denial. And I want it to hurt you very hard so that you really take action : YOU ARE IN DENIAL.

You can think, "Oh, she's only from a community forum. What does she know about me?"

You are having all the classic symptoms of being in DENIAL. You're EVADING THE TRUTH ABOUT YOUR SHORTCOMINGS OF GOING TO THE GYM.

Get a mirror. Better yet, get a scale as well. You can afford to buy protein shakes, you can afford a scale.

Stop wasting time and get your act together. A mirror is a must!

Actually, I know the perfect people to beat you up really hard. Put up a Member's Journal of your daily activities and let the fiercer fitness folks whipped you up. They are extremely brutal and frank and they don't minced words.

Good, I am getting quite fired up at the moment.

Do a health check and then compare.

Someone opened a can of whoop-ass

myremi,
He works out more than me (2 hours of badminton 3x weekly + long runs on Sundays) and obviously he's skinny cause he smokes. Anyhoo, I believe in personal responsibility. Men are stubborn creatures and I dont like to force values on him cause he doesnt do that to me All I can do is to set personal boundaries (he can smoke whenever he wants, just not while I'm around in the same room, no smoking inside the house cause it will stain the walls faster) and we're all good

so true...


buying 10 pack of cigarette, wa.. it's like if I dont complete this, he have take another day of ectasy

Sky.Live,
not 10 packs - 10 freakin cartons. that should keep me motivated enough for the next 5 weeks

Syd G : Are you sure that is a good stick? Even though it may motivate you, it leaves the receipient with bad health though. 10 cartons.

It's true that it's a personal choice. I saw my Dad's heart bypass operation and hospital bills. We're just lucky that the Kuching GH is cheap. Also, that heart bypass and the doctors there hit us with information that hit me hard. My Dad was a chain smoker for about 10 years. Then he stop for 10 years. Then this problem came.

Hopefully one day your hubby will stop. Values and health are very hard truth to stomach. Even for me today.

myremi,
it's a good stick cause it's gonna make me want to lose the weight even more. as mentioned, if the stick (punishment) doesnt hit hard enough - it will be useless.



heehaw

sorry to hear about your dad though. hopefully he's fine and dandy now

I missed the signup?! Noooo. Haven't been online to the forums since Friday and was out on MC yesterday so didn't go online

Maybe I'll sit this one out then.
