PSF 2: Entry 2 here

I feel glad to be able to reduce my upper belly scale by 1 inch! It's probably not much for you, but it certainly is something great for me! But I must say that I still don't feel any obvious physical changes on myself.

For the past two weeks I've been doing the same routine I did before my 2nd PSF2 entry. I've been eating less, had evening walks up to 40 minutes and also crunching on the days I couldn't have my evening walk. There are few new thing's I did, which are fasting and jogging. Me? Jogging?! I know! It's weird to see/hear/know me jogging because I never jog for almost... well... ever!!

Since the fasting month began last week on Wednesday for the Muslims, I've been trying to join the ritual as well. It's a huge "culture-shock" for me because I used to think that it's impossible for me to fast, but I'm proud to tell you that I managed to fast without suffering. I'm surprise to found out that fasting makes your mind and stomach ignore the hunger all day *though I almost passed out during my 1st day of fasting attempt!*.

I was actually fascinated by it. After the horrible 1st fasting attempt, I thought that there will never be a second attempt, but as I keep trying I was already able to ignore my hunger on the third day. Too bad my pms strikes on the same week, so I have to take my food regularly for the sake of my own health.

During my un-fasting moment, I use the consumed energy to do a 40minutes walk at the lake in the evening as usual. Seeing that there are not many people at the UTM recreational lake *since it's bulan puasa*, I decided to took the liberty to jog. Yes! I jog! It was super hard because I was always embarrassed to jog fearing that my belly would shake the world. Though I panted like a dog and sweat myself all over on the 3rd round, I actually feel better deep inside.

I've never had such feeling before, but I was really satisfy and joyful. Therefore I decided to jog every time during my evening walk. I've been jogging for almost 2 weeks now and I'm feeling more confident doing it even though there are people jogging passes me from the opposite direction. I no longer care what people think of me because I'm not doing this for them, but myself and my family.

So what am I gonna do until my next update? I'm gonna maintain this jogging routine if I decided not to fast. :)

Ps: If you do not consume any food for 8 hours straight, your body will set it's function to store energy for survival, therefore causing you to get fatter from your monstrous appetite triggered by the great hunger. However, if you consume right amount of appropriate food at the appropriate time, your body will use the energy together with the stored energy which is your belly fat.
