Happy New Year everyone, is year 2015 ! Hopefully is not late to wish everyone and Happy Holidays.
Well, what I did a week ago was swimming. I haven't been swimming for about 7-8 years and it feels good getting back into the pool full with water. It was tough for me to catch my breathe but I managed to swim 6 laps in the end. If it was 7-8 years ago, I would able to swim 10 laps easily but I couldn't hope so much as I like a rookie back into the swimming pool. 6 laps is much enough for a rookie without using a swimming goggles. It really a good exercise for losing weight, not saying others sports isn't good enough, but depends on individual liking. For me, just by swimming 6 laps a day and twice a week (Olympic standard pool sized) without controlling what I eat afterwards, had me loss 2.5 kg. That's quit a lot as I had sushi after swimming, few box of different flavor chocolate in my room which I consume when I was watching drama while leaning on the bed.
Best of all, yesterday a friend of mine came to my house for a visit and chit-chatting and the first thing he told my mom was that I look thinner than I used to. At first, I just took it as a sweet untruth compliment which every boy will said to a girl when they meet to give a good impression. But after he went back home, he text me again and said : "You thin liao leh, better looking d." I'm not sure what other people will think but for me, second time compliment will assure me that he really does think so and is not just a compliment.
If you readers out there really thought of swimming:
Whether swimming works or does not in losing weight, just don't give up in exercising. Look at the positive side, those who doesn't know how to swim that when to learn it, it might be useful for you now in the present and so as in the future. Having an extra skills meaning one steps closer to the advantage of your success, one step closer saving your life and others, also one step further from drowning to death.
So what's your sports?

If you readers out there really thought of swimming:
- Don't forget to warm up your whole body at least 3-5 minutes before and after you enter the pool.
- Don't swim half way and stop, try your best the swim half lap and take a few breathing and continue the other half lap to make it 1 lap.
- Just because you completed 1 lap doesn't mean you could stop and start splashing water with your friend, continue the swimming and breathe until you thinks your body is hot enough and call it a day.
- Go with people who are serious in swimming and not those who are fooling around so that you will not get distracted but motivated to swim more.
