Of Health, Fitness & Weight

As per my previous post, Comfort Food, I was made aware that I need to control my fitness level and weight better. Being in a different work environment, it's kinda hard to maintain regular exercise regime due to the time limitation. Anyway, realising this, I have embarked on a fitness program to increase my cardiovascular fitness and also part of my weight managment program.

Officially, I started the program at the end of March, after recovering from my bout of fever, and somehow there's some progress as per pictorial evidence (still 3 kg from my target of 70 kg), also I'm recording measurement of vital stats for records :-)


As part of the program was increasing my cardiovascular fitness, I managed to get my hands on a Heart Rate Monitor, to ensure that I working out in the correct HR Zone, optmising my cardiovascular workout. Hopefully I can post more improvement in the near future.

p.s. - Not trying to be like the Spartans in 300, just a nice flat tummy....


p.p.s. as per previous post, I have been having these low grade fevers for a few days in the past month. Normally the temp is just around 37-37.2C, hence a visit to the GP was made and he referred me to a specialist. A series of test was done and they couldn't pinpoint if there's anything *seriously* wrong with me. I'm due for another round of tests next Tuesday, so hope that will be given the all clear then. The doc also ordered that I cut down on the cardio for a while to give the body chance to recover plus keeping me on medication. Keeping my fingers crossed...
