It's My Life!

The last time Bon Jovi held a concert in Malaysia was 20 years ago! After making me wait THAT long for another concert they finally performed in Stadium Merdeka on 19th September 2015.

At 53 years old, Mr. Jon Bon Jovi is still looking pretty damn good! The band did a great job of engaging the crowd. Those at the VVIP and VIP section were definitely rocking away to their songs. Unfortunately the area where I was at, the crowd mostly sat throughout the whole concert only chiming in to sing to the more familiar tunes of Living on a Prayer and It's My Life. I, of course, was having none of that! I stood by the railings at the stand and was singing to every single song of theirs!

He did require more effort to hit the higher notes in some of his songs though, and songs like Always and I'll Be There For You was completely left out ot his concert set-list but all in all the concert was awesome!!! How can it not be? It is Bon Jovi after all!! ROCK ON \m/

Cross Fit

I have recently decided that it is time I got fit. Whilst I have been blessed with a pretty good metabolism rate and can eat anything I want without putting on much weight I still wish that I had a leaner body. Plus the results of my medical check-up have never been good : high cholestorol, high uric acid and low calcium levels.

So I finally decided to do something about it - to change my dietary habits and to start exercising more. First, I started by drinking more water. On a good day I usually get by on 1 litre of water. I have now increased it dramatically and try to drink at least 3 litres per day. I have also cut down on my consumption of Coke (sigh....this is the hardest part). I now allow myself only one or two per week. I used to drink 1 per day! I have also reduced my consumption on unhealthy junk food. My breakfast now also consist of healthier choices such as  Ok, that is as far as I have gotten for now. Will try to eat more greens soon! Oh well, baby steps...:)

I am also trying to reduce my alcohol consumption as it has been affecting my sleep of late. After 3 glasses or so I will have difficulty falling into a deep sleep. I am someone who can get by on 4 hours of sleep as long as those 4 hours are good solid hours of sleep.

As for the exercise department, I am a person who loves cardio more than I do weights. So it was easy for me to increase the frequency of my runs but extremely difficult for me to get started on weights. The solution? Sign up for classes! What class did I sign up for? CROSS FIT! I rounded up 3 other friends and we are now on the course for starters which  consist of 2 classes per week for 4 weeks. I have to say I  am loving it so far. The 1st class was really easy but the second one was a real killer which left me with arms that ached for 3 solid days! But it was a nice kind of pain. Hahaha....masochistic much?

WISH ME LUCK!
