How to Choose a Trainer

I've always been active but have had my fat days too. My heaviest was 52kg because i snacked alot to stay awake in lectures. Then, i lost it and kept them at bay.

With age, sitting on my ass and a supermarket at my desk,i've developed a paunch that's hard to get rid of.
Bottom left corner of desk = supermarket (instant noodles, orange, chocolates etc.)
I used to do hot yoga that produced abs but its hard to keep up now because of distance, social activities AND food reviews.
After 3 months of hot yoga at least 4 times a week.
With citizen journalism, many people are more mindful about giving up seats. Some months back, a seat was given up to me by a young man!

I try not to think its because of my food baby but because i was sleeping standing up. Maybe he pitied the tired poor girl or maybe i just didn't suck in enough.
Man,did i suck in hard for the TVC i shot.

Then it happened a second time. This time it was a lady who immediately stood up! I was wearing black, trying to balance and read a book. No, my tummy isn't THAT big to balance my book.

With MRT seats so coveted these days, i really don't think people would give up their seats if not for thinking 我有了。

That was it. I had to do something.

No,i can't stop eating so I signed up for personal training at True Fitness. I felt the pinch at $80 per session but o yeah, pinch away the flab.

Here's how to choose a trainer:

1) Don't go for the beef cake
It's rather intimidating.
2) Don't go for the looker
It's too distracting. There's a looker like Wang Lee Hom (if you squint) at Chevron House and i can't imagine him peering down my huffing and puffing face. 我会想录霏霏。
3) Don't go for the talkative
You need your breath for working out.

4) Don't go for the quiet
You need more than a squeak to startle you into doing more.

So i settled on choosing my personal trainer, just because he didn't put my towel onto the floor.

I've OCD & usually men don't care much about cleanliness. This one did. He took careful care not to put my towel on the floor even though at times were difficult and he didn't know how to hold it or where to put it. A man who pays attention to minute details wins my vote.

So my one hour long training is a mix match of various exercises. I stole glances at the better looking trainer who isn't mine. Its like having sex with one but thinking of another. Or lying on your back with your girl on top but Megan Fox's poster on the ceiling.

While working out, i observed female's gym fashion. I was cladded in a tee and bermudas, very unglam but here's how the rest dressed for the gym:

1) The Slutty
Clevage and ass bearing, likely with a cannot-make-it face.

2) The Sporty
Ab bearing serious business, likely with good skin because they eat and sleep well.

3) The Shameless
Fine line between confidence and being an eye sore. You'll find watermelon shaped ladies in midriff bearing and/or super tight tops.

Since my first personal training lesson,  i find my metabolism rate up. My tummy remain flatter than before after a meal. I have also replaced the chocolates in my "supermarket" with nuts, cranberries and raisins to snack at my desk.

Getting back my flat tummy again...

I still find it pretty amusing that i am a finalist in the modelling category in Omy Awards. I remember being very flattered when i received the notification that Seet has nominated me. So i clicked the URL and thought naaah, i don't qualify as a model, so i filled in my details for the Individual category instead. This blog is  individualistic with free-wheeling content about daily lives and musings that
cannot fit into any categorisation.

Alas, Omy and Seet feels i should be in the modelling category, however in Mandarin, it translates as 部落格里贴满自拍或和朋友一起搞怪、扮美美帅帅的生活照。So i think the English title should appropriately be named Best VAINPOT Blog or Best NARCISSIST Blog.
Anyway, the point of this post is to announce my endeavour into premium bikinis. This peice i'm wearing retails at $99 in Singapore. I'm selling it at 30% off! Responses are not forthcoming, maybe i ought to change to selling them USED! Then at least perhaps i get some male customers.
An eminent glamorous swimwear brand which advocates superior quality through its innovative high tech product and delicate handmade craftsmanship. Stylishly sleek & chic designs and “second skin” feel, whilst seeking perfection deep down into details. Helmed by a French designer, the team have been manufacturing swimwear since 1989 in Paris.

So make use of our Singapore's weather when the French can't possibly wear bikinis all year long.
P.S i hear they let their armpit hair grow during winter. Those pits don't see daylight anyway.
