I joke that I don’t do anything that makes me sweat…; it’s mostly true, but getting older means that I should try to be conscientious about my health.
So, I try to eat a little less (still love food, tho!) and exercise. When I moved to Abu Dhabi I got into swimming regularly despite my previous general dislike towards the ocean. Swimming in the Arabian Gulf is easy. π Plus, even though I am exercising, I don’t sweat since I am already wet. Perfect!
However, with the crazy heat, I couldn’t swim all the time and with friends being runners, I decided to get over my dislike of running. I started with walking on the treadmill and then gradually convinced myself I could run for a few minutes at a time. Last spring, I was really into it and I was looking like I was in high school again. π Yay for me. Then, I got lazy … and holiday-body returned after the long summer break.
Thus, I’m getting back into it. I am not really training for a marathon and I sort of dream of a triathlon (yes, why stop at a marathon, when you can try for it all – haha), but I tell myself that I am so that I will work out. I alternate swimming and running (on the treadmill) in hopes that at the very least I can keep eating all the food I love without showing it!
To keep track, I use 
. There are a ton of sites out there, but I just followed my friends. π
