It’s been a while since I wrote anything so I thought it was about time for an update. One year and 8 months after my TIA, I have regained all functions and I am back to my usual workouts: biking, boxing, running, and strength workout (although I could probably do more of the latter). TheContinue reading “I am Spartan, Hear Me Whimper?”

So I Had a Stroke…
On the evening of Monday 30th of August, I had a stroke. I didn’t realise it at the time but now that I can reflect back on the symptoms, I am pretty sure that was when it happened. I was using the computer just before bed. When I got up to turn in, my rightContinue reading “So I Had a Stroke…”

CMCO Workouts – TACXperience
Just when I thought we had returned to routine, we’re back to CMCO again. After all my efforts to return to pre-MCO fitness, am I’m going to lose it all again? It feels like taking two steps forward, three steps back. I’ve been thinking about what I can do this time around to preserve myContinue reading “CMCO Workouts – TACXperience”
The Return to Routine
It’s been 5 weeks since the kids went back to school and I returned to my old workout routine. Despite my efforts to stay active and work out at home during MCO, CMCO, and RMCO, I felt a significant drop in fitness – especially stamina. I feel like a newbie starting back. Either that orContinue reading “The Return to Routine”
Journey Cycle – Where the Journey Begins
Journey is a place I’ve been wanting to try ever since I knew of its existence. It is the brainchild of Syed Harris Umar, a former instructor from Fly Project, whose classes I used to attend religiously. They were challenging classes but there was an energy to it that I really looked forward to. Evidently,Continue reading “Journey Cycle – Where the Journey Begins”
About the “Fed”
Forty, Fit and Fed but I haven’t really talked much about the “fed” part. Perhaps it’s time to address it. I guess I should clarify that this is not a blog about diet plans. It’s not about eating clean either. I must confess that when I hear about diets, my brain tunes out. It goesContinue reading “About the “Fed””
Workout Motivation
A few people have asked me how I stay motivated to workout nearly everyday, especially during a time like MCO. To be quite frank, I have trouble with motivation as well. There are days when I don’t feel like working out. I drag my feet, I procrastinate, and I struggle, too. So how do IContinue reading “Workout Motivation”
