Instead of going to kickboxing yesterday, I thought we should switch up the work out and add some cardio in there... Kay did some cardio on the treadmill and I did some circuit training with Ram yesterday in the pool.
When I was in highschool, I was part of the school's dragonboat team. Just in case you don't know what dragonboating is... you can check it out here. During this time, I realized that I was at my fittest point of my life... I was a size 2 with high b or low c cup boobs... yes, I was a hottie! and I realized that the only reason why I had such a small waist was because training for the boat races were quite vigorous! This was our schedule:

Tuesday & Thursdays: Practice started at 7am sharp in the pool. There were three parts to the practice:

• Pool - We trained our endurance by doing many laps, races, relays, and circuits. We would start off with easy with 2 or 4 laps to warm up. Then we would either do relays or team races. To end it off, we did circuits. These circuits consists of pairing with someone else. One person would swim 2 laps - either specified or free methods - and the other person would do floor exercises such as push ups, sit ups, planks etc. and we would rotate doing this. Sometimes we would even tred water for a long period of time.
• Floor - We worked on our strength training by doing the usual push ups, sit ups, crunches etc
• Paddling - We worked on our technique (yes, there's technicalities paddling!) and our rhythm

On Fridays, we would go the beach and practice in the boat.

Training for dragonboat was quite hardcore! But since we loved dragonboating, it was worth waking up at 6 to go to practice at 7am!

Anyway, I introduced the circuit training to Ram a few months ago... and he really liked it! If you have access to a pool, you should do this! It really kicks your butt - you burn a lot of calories, work on your strength training AND your endurance!

Good thing we got some cardio in there...! Afterwards, Kay and a few other of my friends decided to go to bar to watch the hockey game. I, myself, was uninterested in the game because hockey - to me - is uber boring (and sometimes, I can't even see who has the puck! LOL). Nobody was planning to drink as everyone was trying to restrict their alcohol consumption to lose weight... until we saw the sign that said:

$3.50 SHOTS EVERDAY!

(sorry, just had to steal this from my cousin's blog tehehe)

We looked at eachother, justified that each shot is probably less than a drink... called the waitress and went crazy on ordering shots! They had a list of shots were able to order... and we wanted to try them all! We decided to randomly get 1 shot each but of different flavours. We started playing rock, paper, scissor to determine who would choose 1st, 2nd, 3rd etc... lol all in all, we took 11 shots within 2 hours! now that was random and epic night! LOL

As much as the night was filled with lots of drinks, laughs and more drinks, I couldn't help but wake up today feeling soooo guilty! I promised myself that I wouldn't drink and get trashed... and to stick to my daily exercise and healthy eating... it's just so hard to cut alcohol out, especially during summer! And yes, after calculating the amount of calories I consumed, I was absolutely devasted! I told my cousin that i didn't want to go over 2000 calories.. which I did -_-

but nonetheless, I feel like these calories, I can burn anytime but the memories of random drinking nights I cannot make up for =)
