ok so me and cici are talking about going on diets and looking all hot and sexy for the summer. so i was calculating our BMIs. then we were talking about how asians need to have lower BMIs to be considered healthy. so this is what i found:

The WHO consultation set the ‘normal’ BMI range for Asians from 18.5 to 23, but it decided that individual countries should establish their own high-risk, or obese, cut-off points based on their own morbidity and mortality data, Dr Yap, a member of the Singapore Health Promotion Board, said.

wow i’m barely in the normal range!! ahh. i feel so fat now. also, on prevention.com i did a calorie counter. it said that my 30 min workout on the treadmill burns about 272 calories, which is equivalent to a 1/2 cup of haagen-dazs ice cream, or a hot dog, or a 2 oz croissant, or 1 snapple strawberry kiwi. hahaha!! hilarious. it makes me feel that my whole working out thing is worthless. grr. it’s almost lunch time. i should just skip it. boohoo.

so i’ve been working out 4 times a week since i’ve gotten back from school. i must say i am looking better and better. i’ve lost about 8 lbs. it’s very good. i only have like 10 more lbs to lose. haha. i run on the treadmill for 30 minutes and then walk for like 5 minutes to cool down. yeah i know it’s not that long, but it’s a workout for me. i started at intensity 5, but i’ve worked up to 6 for most of the time. sometimes i even go up to 9! at that point i think my legs are going to fall off and i’ll trip and die on the treadmill hehe. in other news, i finished the harry potter book! it’s good. i can’t wait for the 6th book. i’m not going to ruin the book for anyone. my cousin jane, wants me to tell her what happens. we’ll see if she can bribe me. haha. =) i recommend everyone to read the 5th harry potter book when they have the chance. i started the book on saturday and finished yesterday night. i stayed up until 2:30 a.m. because i was so into the book. i couldn’t put it down! anyway, i need to get at least 6 hours of sleep tonight, so i must go to bed. <3

today i was pretty swamped with all these photocopying jobs. i basically had to recreate 5 huge binders for one of the employees. i love how everything in the binder is stapled, so i have to unstaple it to photocopy and then restaple it. it’s kind of annoying. the copier staples are harder to pull out too. grr. i think i’m getting better at pulling them out with the staple remover. today was yet another hot and humid day. i’m lucky enough not to have to be outside for most of the day, but the commute back sucks. first i have to walk from my office to grand central at 4:45 p.m. the sun is still out and strong. boy was i hot! then after i get off at 179th street, i have to wait for what it seems like an eternity (really like 5 minutes), for the bus. it’s sooo hot. sometimes the bus’s air-conditioner is broken too. ack. anyway, i hear the yankees are winning even with crappy weaver pitching. that’s kind of exciting right? tomorrow is wednesday, and we all know what that means….mid-week party! woohoo. my days seem to go by way faster when i have things to do. after lunch, everything just zooms by. it’s kinda good. i just hope i don’t have reception duty (again) for lunch. i really wonder what they would do without me!! who would fill in for the receptionist when she has her summer fridays? hrm. i guess probably an administrative assistant. two more people are leaving kpr on friday. that makes 3 in two weeks. crazyyyyyyy. there are so many empty cubicles at my office. no wonder i got my own cubicle with a computer. hehe. anyway, i guess i will chat with my friends for a little bit, and then head to bead. maybe i will finally finish harry potter. i’m on like page 550 now or something. i read until 1 am last night. i’m a bad girl. i just get so caught up in the book. :/ gnite <3
