What's been Happening???

Wow.. it's been ages since I updated my blog.. what has everyone been too?  More importantly, what have I been up to?  Here's a few updates on my life since January til today.. 3rd March 2014.

  1. Totally fell off the diet wagon.. my bootcamp lasted for exactly 10 days and my non-drinking spell ran on for 12 days.  My weight has increased (noooooooo.. it's supposed to be going the other way!) and I'm totally depressed about it.  Far from crying and sobbing.. I've once again made up my mind to make March 2014 the start of the diet regime again.  Remember, its 20% exercise and 80% diet..
    I'm going over to Christchurch in June 2014 and I NEED to be in the best body shape that I can be.. so I can eat and gorge while I'm on holiday.. hahaha.. kinda defeats the purpose.. but yeah.. hard work deserves its rewards, doesn't it?  Time to eat clean and cut out the fat.
  2. Off the wagon and into the pot for my drinking.. as the year progresses, I find myself falling deeper and deeper into the bottle.. I went on a 10 hour alcohol binge this weekend and ended up in a minor car accident... while using PrincessBling's new car!  Needless to say.. that was a real wake up call.. and I need to detox for awhile... I'm going to start March 2014 looking after my health and my safety.. remember folks.. it's bad to drive while under the influence of alcohol!
    I won't give up booze entirely.. but I'll try to cut back the frequency and amount that I drink.. after all.. do I really need a hit everyday?
  3. Exercise has been going well.. although routine would be disrupted again with my PT leaving the gym.. now what.. who is going to help me achieve my goal?  I'm definitely getting stronger and fitter.. but I need to keep going.  Well, my PT has promised to continue helping me with my goal.. even if it's not at Phoenix Gym.. but that means I have to join anther gym.. just when I signed up for another year's membership!  We'll see how training pans out over the next few months... he's not leaving until May 2014 anyway.. so I have 2 months to fully utilize him and hit my target weight.
  4. Running.. I think that hobby of mine has gone through it's use-by date.. I now no longer find it fascinating and fun.. maybe because it's the same race and the same route.. but I find that I'm not motivated to sign up/register for any upcoming runs .. time to find a new hobby.  I will run on the treadmill in my free time just for cardio workout... but 10km runs are now out of my vision field.
  5. Travelingggggggggggg... my favorite hobby.  March will have no real traveling in store for me (I'm not counting my daily trips to Bintulu for payroll).. but come April onwards.. it's flying flying flying!  I'm going to Singapore in April, Munich in May and Christchurch in June.  I'm so excited.  And sometime later on towards the end of the year, I plan to make another trip to USA (or maybe beginning of next year.. we'll see how financials go).
  6. New venture... yes.. I'm going into business with PrincessBling and her hubby.. we're opening a Vietnamese French Bistro called Mint & Basil.. we're aiming for 1st July opening and it's going to be da bomb!  Specializing in Pho and Bahn Mi (Baguettes)... we're going to change the culinary world in Kuching!  Just kidding.. we're just bringing a different flavor into Kuching.. as I think we only have 2 Vietnamese cuisine stores in Kuching.  Fingers crossed that we succeed in this venture.
So this is what I've been up to in the last 2 months.  The next few months are going to be exciting as we prepare for our new venture and I continue on my weight loss journey.  Will keep you all updated!
