Swimming today, the swimming concession card has ran out! Wow! This is the first time that I have used all the credits in one year. So happy! That means that this year I have swam more times than ever before. ^_^ Swim for about 1 hr and go back to work.
Dark Angel texted this morning to say that he wants to go swimming today, but he is preoccupied by something, possibly homework. Too much homework! 10,000 assignments (that's his own words). Poor Dark Angel, hope he can cope with them all.
My experiment is going okay because I haven't counted the plates yet. I will know tomorrow first thing how the results turn out. I have changed the way that I carry out the experiment so hopefully it will give better results, but I don't know what will happen.
It is threatening to rain. The clouds roll in from the west and who knows when it will start to pour?
I am considering about an important thing now. Should I do it? Should I not do it? What will happen if I do it? I don't know. I don't think I have the gut to do it because up until now I haven't done anything about it. I am afraid that if I do anything, everything will blow up to my face and I will lose everything. Haha, such a pessimistic person, eh?

Gym
I can't believe how tired I am after gym. Whew...my seat is so comfortable right now.
Today I muck around in the office in the morning trying to get my mail from the various mailboxes I own. No mail, but get an interesting eDiet mail about how to get fabulous abs, which is summarised below. Enter paper into the referencing program EndNote and discover there are two papers that I didn't get from the university. Thus I pack up everything, computer and all, and drive up to university.
First I downloaded the two papers that I want and have lunch. Meet Fuzzy's classmate and talk with her for a while.
Change into my gym gear in the changing room. The UniRec Centre Gym is almost empty when I get there. Start by running on the treadmill. It is not hard. I run without too much trouble.
Read some yoga/pilates moves in a book so I carry these out upstairs on the yoga mat. Walk downstairs to ride the bicycle. I try to get to Heart Rate = 158, and that's when the trouble starts. I can't ride bikes when my heart is beating so fast...>_< Feel very uncomfortable, maybe I should change it a bit for the beginning and increase gradually.
Drive back to work now. It is all very good. Print out the two papers I downloaded and reading them now. I have also borrowed a book "The Wolves of Willoughby Chase" by Joan Aiken. It is a very nice book and I will read it when I have time.
I have connected the funnel to the pipette tip so it can deliver ozone better to the petri dish.

Some tips about having great abs
1. Nutrition: Food is the most important factor. Control your blood sugar by having 5~6 meals per day, for example, egg white omelet with vegetables and oatmeal with blueberries; chicken with one-half cup of rice and a large salad with olive oil and vinegar, cottage cheese with fruit.
2. Ratios: low carbohydrate plan of less than 55% of calories from carbohydrate rule.
3. Timing: eat every 2~3 hr throughout the day.
4. Calories: maintenance calories: determine how much calories that you eat that will not change your weight. Calculate total calories, grams of protein, carbohydrates and fats.
5. Slight caloric deficit: Reduce your calories by 200 from your maintenance calories. During the first week you should lose 4-6 pounds of water, and 1.5 pounds per week after that. If you don't lose 1.5 pounds per week after that you should reduce calories by 100.
6. Consistency: Diet for 6 days and on the 7 day have pizza or ice cream and no more.
7. Weight training: 3-4 sessions/week, 35~1 hr. Burn 30~50 calories/day. Abdominal exercises to strengthen your upper and lower abdominal regions.
8. Cardiovascular exercise: moderate cardio 3-5 days/week. 30~40 minutes. Two out of three days with higher intensity level to accelerate fat loss. However, beginner should increase exercise level gradually.
If I stick to this plan, I should lose weight! So happy. It is all about finding a right way for my body. If I lose weight, I will have more energy and be prettier, and happier!

Swim and work
Dark Angel texted to say that he wants to swim in the afternoon. I had to practice cello from one o'clock to five o'clock, so set up meet time then.
The weather was again awful, rained and the wind was blowing very hard. A lot of people were sick so couldn't come to practice music with us. However, the concert is on 16 October in the afternoon. We could do some parts very well, but some parts still require practice. I shall practice everyday this week to polish my skill.
Dark Angel was cool. Being mysterious about what he was doing on Friday and Saturday, but it was good to catch up with him in the pool. He wants to learn gymnastics! Exciting. To me they still look very out there and impossible to do. I can do some floor movements but that's about it. And also some of the climbing thing that's in the park.
Watch Freaky Friday in the evening. It's an interesting movie, not so much a chick flick because it is much deeper than that. It's very funny. Lindsey Lohan is very cool in it.
I spend whole day today working hard on preparing the meeting. We are trying to fix many problems right now, and it seems that everything is falling apart at the seams, but I am sure that we will pull through. Just like our family, we are strong and we will get through anything, big storm and earthquake or small friction.
The experiment is looking good, and I will try to do the last little bit of the experiment and finish everything up. Writing. Finishing the introduction.
Meet Lovely and Purple Skirt at university. Exchange mobile number with Lovely so we can go swimming together in the weekend.
Not feeling so well today. Nose running continuously, but the weather actually improved a lot today: no rain in sight! Haha. Hope it last.
Talk to Dark Angel on net last night. He said I am wonderwoman. So happy! But he doesn't really know who wonderwoman is. He is the mysterious Dark Angel.

Walking around the lake
The weather is not so flash today, but I still get up early and drive up to lake to meet with friends to walk around the lake.
It is good to meet friends there, and I bought a ticket for the music performance on 5/11. I will listen to their performance and clap for them.
Read some informationg about my introduction. Hopefully will be able to write them on Monday.
Tomorrow I have practice cello with the other people, have been a bit slack, but I will practice today.
Weekend is going smoothly, but the weather is just miserable.
