California Fitness - Part 2

It has been two months plus being a member of California Fitness (CF). So, how am I doing so far? Let's start with the month of January. In the month of January, if I go every Monday, Wednesday, Friday (if you are wonder, my membership only allow me to go on these days), in total there are 14 days. I went for 12 days and missed 2 days. I can't remember the reason of the first miss but for the second one, it was due to dizziness. I have calculated, my attendance is 86%. For February, in total there are 13 days. I went for 12 days and missed 1 day (due to some reasons. Hehe ... ). So, my attendance is 92%. I think if I manage to keep up my future monthly attendance of at least 80% is good enough already.
My average workout duration per visit is 30 minutes (This means it cost me RM10 for a 30 minutes of workout at CF). This is because I usually go during my lunch hour. Why lunch hour? My thought is if I have some exercise, I will feel more fresh in the afternoon, so that I can be more productive at work and less rely on caffein like coffee which is not too healthy. And, indeed it does. What exercise I do there usually? Usually, I will start out with 10 minutes of jogging using the treadmill machine. Then, I will spend the rest of my time for body building and streching. After I make a few rounds of weight lifting, example at the biseps, I will some stretching. Reason behind is when I stretch, I can rest the muscle at the same time. This is to save time. Remember, I just have around 30 minutes only to cover everything. :D
Currently, my weight is 56.5 kg and my goal is 60 kg. This means I need another 3.5 kg. And this 3.5 kg will be either comes from fat or muscle. Of course, I want muscle, right? That's what I am working at, to build this 3.5 kg of muscle and it is not easy. And a month of body-building like this, my weight is still the same. This mean that I gotta work harder and perhaps I also need to take those protein which is meant for body-building, instead of Amway's protein. I think the protein from Amway is not for muscle building type.
Who do I usually go with? Most of the time I go alone. The reason is because I go during my lunch hour. I don't know if there is anyone is a member of CF from my own department. But even there is, I think he / she most like won't be joining me going to CF during lunch time.
What about my lunch? At the beginning, I just 'ta pau' something like bread to eat later of the day after the workout since I have used up my lunch time. After a while, I realize that I don't have much appetite after the workout. So, I have a new diet for my lunch. Recently, I begin to drink this healthy drink which consists of a packet of Amway's Positrim, mix with 1.5 scope of Amway's protein. This drink was introduced by my mother. I tried it and it tastes good. If I have workout on that day, in the morning, I just need to bring a packet of Positrim, together with 1.5 scope of protein into a shaker and bring that shaker of course.
After my workout, I will buy a bottle of cold mineral water and one light food, example, bread. Then, when I reach office, I will take this one small bread and make my drink. First, I open up the Positrim and pour it inside the shaker. Then, I pour that cold mineral water into the shaker and shake it a few times. Then, I can drink it already while eating that small bread. The reason why I still eat that small bread because my thought is nutrien or vitamins will be no effect without combining with some food.
In summary, I think I'm doing pretty okay so far for January and February. But, the challenge is to maintain it and to make this exercise as my habit and my health lifestyle.
