A different fruitful weekend!!

It was a fruitful weekend but I need more sleep, though I slept quite a lot already! These are what I did during the weekend, Fri to Sun:

Movies
I watched 2 movies – Pirates of the Carribbean and The Lake House, both not very good. For “Pirates”, 2 hours 30 mins is too long and the plot meandered nowhere and ended ambigiously. After all that fighting and climax. Grrrr. My companion fell asleep at times. Haha. Then for “The Lake House”, I think reading the book may be better, at least you can form your own fantasy world. The TV commercial’s confusing but the plot comes to light once you understand what’s going on. It’s a sweet ending after all yet I cannot understand how Keanu Reeves finally met Sandra Bullock at the house on the lake eventually. They are in different time zones or rather 2 years apart! Oh well… It’s an average romantic story with eye candy for the guys and girls. Be forewarned that the pace is pretty slow though!

Baking
I had tried to bake muffins previously but my muffins were weird. This time with my mum around, I decided to enlist her help. The first batch did not turn out well; it tasted funny. Then we used another recipe for chocolate chip muffin and the taste was quite good. However, it the muffins did not rise properly and were lopsided. We finally tried a third batch at my aunt’s house and it was yummy! Yet there was not enough to go around as there were only 10 muffins and they were delicious. Ok, we have the correct recipe now. Yoohoo!

Exercise
I brisk walked on Sat evening.
I swam on Sunday evening.
I never felt so healthy in my life, man.

The endomorphins and the adrenalin rush are just great. You can feel the muscles working hard when used and you just feel much more energetic, healthy and toned! Maybe I am sadomaschistic but the exercise is really uplifting. Not to mention that I brisk walked on Tues, Wed and Thurs morning. Woke up at 6am and dragged myself out of bed and onto the streets. So far I can feel the results slightly. I am not as much a lump of fats anymore. And exercise provides some sort of motivation.

This week will be my 2nd week of my exercise program which should progress to a way of life hopefully. I watched a slimming show recently on Channel 8 and there were many mothers and older people who went to Jean Yip to try to convince Jean Yip to slim them down as part of the sponsored show. It then hit me – I do not want to rely on artificial slimming stuff when I am older or when I have became a mother. I want to be a beautiful and lean woman or mum!
