It's been weeks and no (huge) progress with me yet =( I work out on average of 3 times a week - with a mix of badminton, gym and lawn tennis every Saturday (which I've gotten into recently). But no thanks to having thyroid problems, it's doubly hard to take some weight off. For 2 weeks now, I've been taking a diet supplement of L-Carnitine and Green Tea Extract to help me regulate my weight. It's not actually diet pills because I'm scared of its possible side effects but I'll give this a try for 2 more weeks and see how it goes.

Why, oh why, is it so hard (and costly?) to lose weight?

My friends got me into running a few months ago, mainly because we enjoy our brunch dates after every run (it's a weird reason, I know). I must admit, I hate the part of waking up very early and the body ache until days after. Most probably, I've joined about four or five 5K already which I've enjoyed immensely, but I haven't been inclined to go farther than that because I admit that I'm not the fittest person. But lo and behold, I don't know what came over me the other day when I agreed to move up to 10K on a charity marathon on April 1.

So I wake up this morning with the thought that if I don't want to embarrass myself, I have to push myself and work hard until April 1 - by working out more often, eating more healthily and cutting down sugar on my diet. Yikes! I still have a few weeks so I hope I'll do well.

Wish me luck! Who knows, after my 10K on April 1, I might push myself harder and try 21K next time. Here's hoping! =)
