Yesterday was the final day of the six week Jom Kurus 1Malaysia Season 4 challenge. The final weigh-in was done in the morning but unfortunately, I couldn't attend it. Not because I don't want to attend it but my right knees was hurt very badly,
It started after I was back from the Friday prayer, the day before. At first I thought my right knee which not in good shape since the FRIM hike few weeks ago just acting up but it was more than that. The whole knee cap was swollen badly. I couldn't even stand properly. It was so painful until my whole body felt weak, got headache and I felt I I'm gonna have a very bad fever. It was so painful until I decided to skip the company's CNY dinner that night. The walk from my office at 4th floor to 3rd basement was excruciatingly slow and painful and so was the drive back home.
That's why I couldn't join the rest of my team mates for the final session. I literally has to hold the walls even to walk to the bathroom. Thank god after eating gout medication and pain killers, the pain subsides until 90% and I was able to enjoy the closing ceremony dinner.
We had a lot of fun during the dinner. Aside from the dinner itself, we were treated into bunch of stage performances, such as karaoke sessions, acoustic singing and dances. There were lucky draw as well, which I'm not lucky enough to win anything.
Overall this 6 weeks was an amazing journey and experience for me. I met a lot of people who inspire me to do better and share the same passion and desire as me. I met a coach, Haniff Ghadaffi, who taught us a lot especially on how to eat properly and how to train effectively, inspire us to become more active and adopt a healthy lifestyle. Also, I manage to attended the seminar hosted by Kevin Zahari and he opened my eyes on dieting which I've never thought about the able or point of view before..
Overall I've lost a total of 5.2kg from my weight. It's not much but it's quite a feat consider that I'm struggling to lose any weight before this. Even-though it's far from my initial goal of losing 10kg, I quite satisfied because I learned a lot from this experience. My journey actually has just begun, This is just a start. I will not stop until I get into my ultimate target of 88kg. In fact, I might never stop at all because after all, living a healthy lifestyle is a life-long journey that you will carry on until you meet your maker one day, Insha-Allah.
