Birthday race

Porky and i have a pact that we will have that much time till our own birthday to slim down, me by Oct , him by Aug. He he .. That means i still have 8 months to shed a few kgs off. Both of us have put on weight, due to heavy work load and late dinners . The loser will have to pay for the winner's travel expenses for our year end trip.

Porky is in a better shape than me now because of daily visit to the gym near his office , and now with this race i believe he will drive himself harder to become a gym goer. Where as for me , i am shorter and smaller build, a little fat at my midsection will make me look really fat. It is a battle to fight .

We began with swimming last Sunday but the community pool was really crowded with kids from swimming classes, in the end we gave up. i went back yesterday ( monday ) and managed to swim some laps. I was not totally fit for sport yet as sufferring pain from lumbar ( chinese aka Zhuo Gu / sitting bone ) nerve on and off. My right body (shoulder / waist /butt/ heel) will have nerve pain whenever i am too tired or not enough sleep , and due to blocked nose and difficulty in breathing i cannot sleep well recently. I know swimming is a good way to cure some bones / nerve problems , as it does not exert pressure to your body which is already in pain , support from water will release the bones from tension too , and allow self adjustment as your body is hang loose at water level.

Porky gave a call this morning that he is sufferring from food poisoning , due to his eating habit , he was taking pineapple tart with mold last night after his dinner. i hope he will get well soon and stop his binge eating habit, although he has a super effecient digestive system.
