Day 290: 42km Run

Before 42km I haven't been exercising on my own for a few months. My body is showing signs that if I continue to ignore the symptoms, I will get bigger health issues in future...

Excuses
Too busy
Too early to wake up
Too late to wake up
Not the right timing
Body is feeling tired
Plain laziness

Motivation
Self love and self care


Sometimes I just need 1 good reason to get myself out of my house.

After
Yay! I completed 42km in 9 runs. Thanks Lay Eng for encouraging me to sign up for Moonlight blessings run in Dec 2021.

As I want to push my own boundaries, I set 42km as my target. It is my own commitment, instill my own self discipline and give myself some self care and me time.

I almost thought that I was unable to complete this run at all, but lay eng told me it is possible to complete it as there were 14 days more to go. Thanks for the encouragement and give me some assurance that it can be done.

It was challenging in the beginning, my mind keeps telling me there is no time for me to complete it. However, my mind stopped sabotaging me when I met my 21km mark...

Note to self: Choose to believe my end goal and I will get it done eventually.

Day 289: KMovie: 200 Pound Beauty

Rewatch 200 pound beauty, as I have forgotten the plot totally. I love the back and forth of comedic and serious moments in this movie. They’re well managed and sprinkled at the perfect moments.

Hanna is a great example that we continue to live in a judgmental society. Unfortunately, money still matters. People rather see a no talent pretty girl in a skimpy outfit walking around a stage because that’s what sells, not an overweight girl with natural singing talent.

This movie is a good reminder to stay true to ourselves. Feeling like she exhausted all options, Hanna changed herself to be more accepted by society, but only to lose her own identity. She felt like she was living a deceitful life, fooling others to think she is the perfect girl. It goes to show we should stop trying to impress others when we should be loving ourselves.

Even if we’re in an advantageous position, don’t bully others or bring them down even more. We never know what other people are going through. Be kind.

It also reminded me that self love is important, when we know who we are, there's no fear and all the resources that we need are within our reach. #200PoundBeauty
