Today is my 44th boxing session at Elorde would you believe it? It was just like yesterday when my sister and I paid for membership at the Shaw, Mandaluyong branch (now closed) and had our first shot at boxing now it's a weekly routine for us. Boxing did help me lose weight but totally useless if I don't pay attention to what I eat so let's just say boxing + diet did the trick.
Sissy and I tried Califonia Berry's special frozen yoghurt to give in to our sweet tooth. CBS is topped with fruit flavors kiwi, mango and strawberry. CB claims that their frozen yogurt's low in calorie and 100% non-fat.
Who says sweet can't be healthy?
My sister and I had our third boxing session together at Elorde earlier. We head home to change clothes then dropped by at Heel Sew Quik in SM Megamall to have my jogging pants worked up, it's too long I'm not comfortable working out wearing it. We shopped for boxing handwraps later at Robinsons Galleria because it's out of stock in all sporting good stores in Megamall we need it badly. We don't want to keep borrowing handwraps at the gym for sanitary reasons.
We stumbled upon this newly opened Japanese store "Saizen" in Galleria where everything costs Php85. We got excited with pretty much everything inside that store. They have a wide variety of real cool items to choose from compared to Japan home, I think. We just want to check out what's there initially but we end up buying since they're quite cheap and and you can't find them from other stores.
We found a pair of hadwraps in Toby's but they have one left my sister needs another one for herself so we tried our luck in another store fronting Toby's thank God they have it although it's more expensive than what I got but she bought it anyway so mission accomplished.
We had lunch at Kenny Rogers and ordered their "low calorie meal" made of garlic rice, grilled fish, steamed veggies (young corn, brocolli and carrots) and ligth iced tea. Sissy sister tried their "classic healthy plate" made of it 1/4 roast chicken, vegetable salad, fresh fruit salad, corn muffin and light iced tea as well. We had a good one, we're stuffed but not bloated.
We head back to SM Megamall and paid for our goodies with my Sodexho. Gift cert is love.
It's a new year, no more excuses.
I started my grueling boxing workout in my quest to lose weight at the newly opened Elorde Boxing Gym here in Shaw. The original plan is for my twin sissy to keep me company but was able to convince her to work out eventually since she needed to lose weight as well.
Our first few minutes started with warm up exercises to condition our muscles then sparring sessions followed. I thought I threw strong punches because my trainer whose name I can't remember anymore wants me to try harder. We took it inside the boxing ring to experience how it feels being like a real boxer. My trainer had to leave after a few minutes so my sister's trainer assisted the two of us instead. I nearly passed out while in the middle our sparring session I guess because I'm not used to working out yet. My biggest mistake is forgetting to bring water to keep me hydrated so I had to rest for a few minutes. For the last part of the routine we lay down on matresses to do some crunches.
I had a great workout. I never pushed my body's limit this far before and I'm coming back tomorrow. I bought myself a pair of boxing gloves earlier but didn't find a handwrap yet it's out of stock everywere.
This is just the beginning of my commitment to get back in shape again and nothing's gonna stop me now.
