Doing something to lose weight

The gym at my new condo
 Righto.  This is a post on my first visit to the gym at the new condo.  Very airy. And the view is of Segambut as you jog your kilos away. And there is a ping pong table to the right as you enter. Two guys were playing ( for ages!) And there were three people on the treadmill. Leaving me no choice but to get on the elliptical machine. My first time I persevered long snuff on that machine. I did ten minutes of cardio...followed by 10 minutes of treadmill and 10 minutes of the elliptical again. And then a feeble attempt at some weights. That didn't go so well because I only half remember some steps. I suspect I'll have uneven bicep size if I am not careful.
Flipper and watermelom
And to continue on with the exercise mode, I've finally after nearly 1.5 years of talking about it on Facebook and real life, bought a set of flippers. Egged on by my dad who claimed 40 years ago he too had some flippers. He described it with hand gestures. Technology back then must have been archaic cos they appeared to be some BIG WHOPPING flippers.

And I also got around to having my toenails painted. Watermelon but slightly more pink than usual. It turned out okay. Creative nail boutique at Hartamas really does a good pedicure. And their colors last and does not stain the nails. I wouldn't recommend Nail Parlour at Publika. Not good service. It felt rushed. And the place was too brightly lit. And the girls talked TO each other as they did the nails without paying much attention to detail.
