How are you all doing? I hope everyone had a fantastic long weekend. I know I surely did. And it was long overdue. I am almost out of my hibernation mode lol. I see that things are looking up for me now.
I am really looking forward to the next 4 weeks because I will be done my Makeup Artistry Certification. My final practical exam is in June. It is going to be a full-fledged bridal application. Thank you Samta for being my model. However, I am also looking for a model for this Saturday - preferably not someone with mature skin because I haven't learned the correct foundation application for skin that requires more work (i.e. hyper-pigmentation, large visible pores, eczema etc.) I think that will be our next lecture. But again, I am looking for someone who can volunteer this Saturday between 1 to 5 pm. There are 2 slots: 1 to 3 pm and 3 to 5 pm. If anyone is interested, inbox me on Facebook and I will send you all the details. The makeover is entirely free and all you are required to do is to come in.
Moving on from that... I am back at the gym. So, I've been at the same weight since I last updated which was April 20th. It's been exactly a month since I worked out or ate right. I didn't lose a single pound and obviously my body lost the toning that it had acquired previously. Considering that there is a possibility I will be getting married at the end of this year - I see that I really just have less than 5 months. I don't think I can meet my goal in this time frame but I gotta try much harder than I am. The good thing is... I met a girl at the gym yesterday. I noticed her watching me as I was squatting in the ladies room. I was on my own mat... trying to do some abs exercises with free weights. And she was on a mat behind me, trying to do a push-up. As I took a rest between my sets, I sat back up and began sipping on my water.
"Hey! Can you do a push up?"
Me: Haha. That's something I can't do. I have no upper body strength. I can do 5 and then I'll drop, haha.
"Hahaha. Same here. I can't do this but I am trying."
Me: Oh. Do you have a trainer?
"Yes, that's why I have this notebook with me. Do you have a trainer?"
Me: No. I am not looking for one. I don't find them as helpful as they claim. Half of them see things on YouTube and come tell you. I can do that myself, lol.
"Yeah. My trainer is pregnant so we're doing pretty basic stuff."
Me: Do they push you hard?
"They push you to the best of your ability. They won't force you to do anything but if you say you can't do a push up for example, they will tell you to do it because you can."
Me: Yeah. I see.
"It's pretty expensive though. So, I would recommend avoiding it if you don't absolutely need it."
Me: I don't think I need it. I may think about it after I've lost 30 lbs when my body will need more toning. At this point, I am focussed on losing my body fat first.
"Yeah, that makes sense. Do you like going out there to exercise?"
Me: No. I hate it. This is why I am in the ladies room all the time. All the guys stare and make it so awkward. It's like a pick-up joint in here.
"Hahahaha. I agree. If I had a partner, then I probably would go out there to exercise but not by myself. My trainer takes me out there but the days she is not here, I always come inside to exercise."
Me: Yeah, same here. If I had a partner, I would be more confident. My brother always tells me to go workout with him but I don't because he has friends. Do you mind if I get your number? Maybe, we can schedule our times and exercise together? You can do your trainer stuff and I can do my own thing?
"Yeah. For sure. My number is *** *** ***. Do you like Zumba?"
Me: I love Zumba! Any form of dancing is fun for me.
"Okay, Zumba at 8 tomorrow?"
Me: For sure. I will see you then.
And that is how I ended up with a gym buddy yesterday. She is older than me and on her second professional qualification so she has school. It's gonna be kinda hard to match our times but that's okay. Even if I get to work out with her twice or thrice a week - that is more than enough. I am start Insanity on June 1st. So, I will use the next 8 days to prep my body as much as I can to get back to my fitness level from last year. I am feelin' good about this whole thing now. I have been so de-motivated from the last 4 months, I haven't done anything. And now I only have 5 months to make up for the time I've purposely wasted. Fun, right? =)
Since we decided to meet up for Zumba at 8 pm today, I let mom take the car to work. But she just messaged me that it will be too late for her and she wants to go now. But I said, I don't have a car. She is gonna come pick me up because she lives 10 minutes away and then we are gonna go running together =) Ah.... just what I needed. I hope you guys are also staying happy and healthy and working on your summer bodies. I won't have anything to flaunt this summer but hopefully till December, I will... granted that I keep at it. Let's keep each other motivated, ONE MORE TIME. Haha.
