My TRX Journey

I was never a gym buff. I am not very fond going to a gym because I hate exercising with other people. I hate the smell of sweat. I hate gym equipment and I hate  those big heavy  steels. But when I learned about TRX (Total Body Resistance Exercise), that's when my fitness journey began.

I suffered from frozen shoulders (both of  them) for a very long time when I had an accident in 2014. I had physical therapy for 7 months but my shoulders didn't get back to it's normal function. This condition made me hate exercising even more because my shoulders does not permit me to make movements that involves them. But a friend introduce me to TRX and told me that maybe, my shoulders will get better with this kind of workout.  I was hesitant at first because my doctor warned me that my shoulders will get worst if I do activities that will put too much pressure on it. But, I tried.

My trial day, May 2018

I booked my first trial in May 2018. Then I joined the workout. I liked it. TRX is a different kind of workout. It uses your body weight as your exercise tool unlike traditional gym. What I like about it is that it fixes your posture, it helps you breathe properly and it makes you stronger. It changed my view on fitness. It made me realized that being fit is not about having a lean, skinny body but being strong and feeling healthy inside. So,  I  enrolled my first 10 session-workout, which was then followed by more sessions.

I met new friends. I met people who's not just into getting that dream body but being healthy as their goal.

With TRX on my routine, I feel so much better. I feel confident with my body. I did not lose so much weight but I look fitter, healthier and better. Friends are telling me about the changes they see in me. So I was very motivated to do my TRX every week after getting positive results.

Sadly, after seven months of my religious routine the gym where I do my TRX is now closing and we are temporarily without a place to work out on so everyone is disheartened.  Even so, I'm seeing this as an opportunity to challenge my self to continue with my workout even at home. TRX has helped me a lot and not being able to do my workout in a gym will not stop me to carry on.

I'm not losing hope that a place will be opened for our team so our TRX journey will go on. I know, this too will pass. This is not the end.

I commit my self  to be fitter, stronger, and healthier. So, TRX, coach, let's do this!

A Spoonful Of Happy

For years I've been trying my best to perfect my baking. And maybe the time is now when I can say that I almost, almost did it. Just recently I've perfected my chocolate cake in can. Whew! That's a milestone and now I'm happy that everyone who tasted it had nothing but praise. I'm so happy! I thought that baking was really not my cup of tea. I was scared to try it.

I remember asking one of my friend how hard it is to bake. Now it is really a piece of cake. A spoonful of happy is now officially baking..

Hello, I'm Trying To Come Back

I actually don't know how to start. I've been meaning to write again on this blog for quite some time now but it took me four years to get my guts back.

So much had happened so many events took place for the past four years that I have been on hiatus. So many ups and down moments. So much stories which I don't think I can have the time to write about all of them. I'm just happy to get this personal space back and hope that I will be able to write and carry on.

For now, this is it.

My Charming Boy

My little boy recently has his haircut done and he told himself he’s such a cutie..Indeed he is! His Chinese eyes and dimples add to his charming looks that a lot of people would ask whoever is with him if he has Korean or Chinese blood. Some friends also ask me to have him as a ring bearer to a wedding and that he would look even good for a boys tuxedo. I just love my son and I’m a mom who’s proud of having him.

Sewing, Maybe

I’ve been pinning pics on sewing and home crafts lately on Pinterest. I’ve been inspire to try sewing little things like my kids dresses, simple bags and others. Sewing seems too easy! I want to own a portable sewing machine to start this new found passion. I’ve seen burlap tote bags at this site and it seems so easy to do which might become a source of additional income soon.
