Dear Sam,
How are you doing?
Did you know that last year, my weight ballooned to an alarming rate? Oh yes, it did and I was horrified that I'd end up looking like a fat, brown cow! I really pushed myself to start taking steps to prevent my weight from further ballooning.
I practiced yoga, but not as diligently as I should have. I controlled my eating habits -- but most of the times, I give in to sweet temptations. My weight was like a barometer going up and down, so this year, I resolve to really put more effort to lead a healthy lifestyle. No, there won't be any radical changes, I am thinking of a simple change in my daily routine - like putting one foot in front of the other, an approximation of what is called "running" *lol*. I mean, it would give me so much favor doing that than by just lying down in the couch, eating junk foods and watching tv, doesn't it?
Anyways, the idea came about when I saw my former colleague one Saturday morning. I didn't recognize her at first because she lost a lot of weight which she attributes to her daily running. Looking at her as example (she really looked good in those branded shorts, tee tanks and running shoes) I can say that running is one of the best ways to burn up calories and ultimately lose weight. So this gave me an idea :)
Actually you don’t need much to start to start running – all you need is a good pair of running shoes - and shorts and tank top - and you’re good to go, either outside on the streets or on the treadmill. Now my next question is, how do I get a pair of kick-ass running shoes? I'm using my old pair of Nikes now, and they are alright, but I want to have something that's really intended for running with a lot of arch support. I might ask my sister to buy me a pair - that has all the specifications I mentioned - and bring them over here when she returns from her holiday. Let's see though if she still has leftover moolah to make this purchase, lol.
