4K!

Saturday was a full day of work for me yet again. Hubby came and picked me up at 5 and we went to see the Courts Mega store for some fridges and mattresses sales. We nearly ended up buying a fridge but they gave us some excuses about having to deliver in 2 months. So we decided not to take it up and decided to go for shopping in a month time. 


I was so tired last night that decided to hit the hay early but the plan didn't go that well and ended up sleeping around 1 am. 


We got up around 8ish this morning and guess what! we were really good and hit the gym. We got to the gym around 9 and realised a bunch of people were there also waiting for the gym door to be opened. Generally it opens at 8 on Sundays but today apparently the receptionist decided to sleep in and we had to wait for about 20 minutes. 




Can you see it there! Yes I hit the 4K mark! I was really happy however when I stepped on the treadmill today, my goal was to hit the BIG 5 mark but I decided to listen to my body and decided to take the break at 4. It was not too bad at all actually.



Duration : 33.35 minutes
Distance : 4.16 km

Calories burned : 243
Sweat level : Really really good

Also, I have been planning to show you the view from my treadmill and finally I took the shot and here it is.

Here you are looking at Resort World at Sentosa and I believe it is still work in progress.

Nearly there...

Got up this morning reluctantly at 6:30 and we hit the gym. My upper body was so sore when I started to run but I was quite happy after 30 minutes even though I forgot my water bottle and my ear phone piece was missing. Also this is the first time I had my water break after minute 20. I hit level 10!!!!! I'm so proud of myself.





Duration : 30.59 minutes
Distance : 3.93 km

Calories burned : 223
Sweat level : Really really good

Oh and also, I wanted to share what I had the other day. It was rather quite nice. First time having it.

I believe it is handmade noddle with minced meat. Not so sure what its called. 

The title of this entry "Near there" means I'm nearly there for one of my goals 5k under 30 mins :)

Weights training is back

Last night you will not imagine how tired I was. I got home and I did not feel like moving. Hubby was so kind enough to go downstairs and bought us dinner. While having dinner we watched "Max Pyne" which was quite weird and half of the time I was painting my nails and went to sleep before it ended. 


As tired as I was last night we still managed to hit the gym this morning. I did not run as I learnt my lesson yesterday instead I did weight training for my upper body. I am pretty sure I will be quite sore tomorrow.


I did:-


Chest 
Back
Shoulders
Triceps
Biceps
Abs - 50 crunches

First day of the User Acceptance Test = Crazy day

Today was our project's first day of user acceptance day and it was really madness. To be prepared to take the stress I went for a run in the gym for nearly 4km!! I was really happy but regretted it as the day went by. It was so crazy and too much drama at work. 

Anyhoo, here's what I managed to squeeze in this morning. 








Duration : 30.58 minutes
Distance : 3.88 km

Calories burned : 223
Sweat level : Really good

Also, I wanted to share the sample tiles which we chose for the house. 
These are the tiles for the shower area and the floor for the bathroom. We are not planning to have any other tiles on the wall except the shower.

This is the one for kitchen flooring.

Mad weekend

Believe it or not I was working form 8 am till 7 pm on Saturday. During that time I ran and met with the contractors to see the tile shop which they recommended with hubby. Didn't quite like the price and they didn't have the tiles which we previously looked at and liked. So we decided to tell them that we would rather want to go back to the previous tile warehouse and get the ones we looked. 


Sunday came and we left home around 11 and got back home about 5:30. We went and finalised the tiles, went to IMM mall to get more ideas on the mattress prices and the air condition prices. After that we went to International Furniture Mall to see more mattresses. I think we would be going for Max Coil Latex mattress but our budget is SGD 1,500. 


This week or rather this month is going to be such a crazy month. Oh and guess what! our previous owners requested to extend to stay longer at the place as they have no place to move. So seems we will only be getting the house on the 27th Feb. Oh well....
