Hi,
I have been in here long time ago but I stop. I gain few injury in pass...that make me stop longer. Now I try to get my body in track...slow but consider a bit steady pace.
Basically now I try to avoid be part of the stats. well in my family of course. 2 of my older siblings just did angiogram...both in their 50s. both having artery blockage (but one had to do balloning since the blockage is severe but not too serious to go for heart by-pass). My dad died because of stroke. He did the balloning too. High blood pressure is part of family history and my paternal grandmum had stroke too.
I already started having asthma since 2 years ago (only having this if i got flu). Last year i had neck pain and on-off knee pain. for my neck pain and knee pain..doctor always said reduce the weight. (and my weight hasn't gone 3 digit in kg). My knee pain started when i had an accident in 2010 which cause soft tissue injury on my knees. since then I had throbing pain whenever I climb stair or walk too long. Neck pain is something i dont want to have anymore...trust me. I got it last year. i feel like helpless when the pain attack when I was driving..I couldnt move my head at all. With consistant physio therapy session and medication, now is almost gone (unless i spend time in front of pc too long and I forgot to do any neck exercise I learn during those therapy session)
This year I just want to gain stamina and health back. none of the aim on having supermodel body. I dont have any target weight. For me the weight loss will be just a bonus.
I only reduce my food intake. I dont eliminate totally. I do take supplement for my joint, knee, bone and body. Mainly it just calsium, magnesium, zinc, vitamin c, omega 3 and glusomine. Few times a month I drink lemon water I made it myself.
I did 2 personal trainer session in November 2014. It is a bit expensive in my country but I do value what she taught me. At least that start me working out again. I told her..I know I need start work out but I want to do it right.
At the moment, I did lots of walking/running on the treadmill 3 times a week. well I know i do lot of brisk walk rather than running. My target is between 3-4km per session. plus some HIIT exercise after my treadmill session. I am lucky my office has free gym although the tools not really up-to-date like paid gym. I started in December.
This year I did 10k race. My 1st 10k race was actually organize by my company. As staff I got 50% discount. With that in mind, the race make me stick to the gym consistantly. Usually I having problem to do somthing consistant more than 1 month. I managed to get it done below the time limit.
A month afterward I did 12km night race. and I'm going for 15km end of this month. These race is not for me to show my speed progress...but I take it as I should not stop doing my gym session. I make me stick around.
I know I walk a lot during the race but my determination I want to finish it with in the time limit. I did jog/run whenever I can. Currently I able to do average 10minute per km. I learn not to speed up in first 5 minute during the race.
As for the weight...since December 2014 (I put that as my starting point), I have reduce 4.5kg (almost 10 lbs). for 1 month I dont need to use knee guard during my gym session (but I still wear it for my race). I rarely took ventolin during my training unless I just recover from flu..but I dont need to take nebulizer like before.
Starting weight (December 2014) : 90kg (198.4 lbs)
Current weight (15 May 2015) : 85.5kg (188.5 lbs)
