Working Out

Often I have been asked why, with all these years of working out, do I not have the Abs of Steel... To this I simply Smile and say: "i work out to stay healthy, not to parade around sans tee shirt..."

OK I lie.. A bit! I mean, who would not want Abs of Steel, right? I certainly would have welcomed them... But not likely, not in this lifetime anyway...

Still, I persevere with all the working out... Running almost everyday and/or going for a swim when time permits and the pool is not too crowded... Gym wise, still go when I can, at least 3 or 4 times a week... But now, i just do it all leisurely... Just hoping to stay in small but toned frame.., and God willing, getting rid of the tummy flabs... Even if the abs never materializes...

I possibly will never be really skinny again (like in the photos below) but that will be just fine with me now.. As they say, With age comes maturity... And with maturity comes acceptance...

Am just thankful that the gym we have in Taipei is sooo close by - convenient to go to in any kind of weather... They stay open all year long and pretty much long hours so there is no excuse not to be able to fit it in one's busy schedule... And of course, Dajia River where I run, is such a pretty place - one can run there during the day or night and get a different feel/vibe... All of it, Great!
