Sad but true. Since coming over to Sydney, I've gained almost 3 kilos. Probably because i've conditioned myself to enjoy my own cooking, probably because i eat almost as much as a person who's almost twice my size, but mostly certainly because i have developed this recent craving/obsession for cakes and desserts and everything sweet. Not that I'm terribly unhappy about this (besides the fact that i had experienced extreme difficulties buttoning up a pair of jeans which i brought over, but hey, they were real tight to begin with) and CH does claim that the extra bits are flattering... hmm... But all the same, i think it's about time i get back into my good ol' gymming routine that i had kept many months ago.

Right. I've now joined Fitness First. I always thought that FF was big in KL, they're even bigger here. Not just in terms of having many locations (there's 3 within Sydney CBD itself, all within 10 minutes walking distance and there's 4 which i can get to pretty easily) but the size of the clubs are Huge!! Nothing like the FFs at MJH or even Axis in KL. Most clubs have extra facilities such as solariums (a concept unheard of in KL), boot camps, monsoon showers and a complete snack bar. But I've found down sides to the FF clubs here too. There's no free juice bar (yep, no free 100Plus!), there's no VCD library and there's no private cubicle changerooms. I was quite amused when i saw a "reminder" behind the toilet cubicle door reminding gymmers to be considerate to other gymmers and not to change in the cubicles! Hmm..

But one thing that is an absolute PLUS about the FFs in Sydney - the many specimens available for viewing are absolutely fa.bu.lous! Nothing at all like the specimen-deficit MJH. It makes me wonder why they even need to gym.

Anyhow, like last Friday, i'll be off to the gym tomorrow afternoon for a long long workout. First pilates, then yoga and then i'll treadmill myself to near death. I've miss doing that.
