I have just registered for the half marathon this week. Will use it as a motivation to exercise more.
The reality is in my latest health checkup, my fat level is still at obese level even though I am underweight. Ever since I have tested for fat level, everytime the nurse or the person conducting the test will tell me that my fat level is too high and I should do something about it.
My good friend did not believe me until once we did the test together. Though she weighs more, she has a much lower fat level than me. I am glad that she finally believes me. One less person to discourage me from losing fat. As often when I mention to people my need to lose fat, they will be astonished and said I am just being silly as I do not look fat so nothing to worry.
Hmmm.... hidden fats can be more dangerous than the fat that people can see. According to the doctor, the goal is to convert fat to muscle, not about losing weight. Thus resistance training for upper body etc and more exercise.
I am looking forward to a healthier me. Just bought my sports shoe today. Tomorrow will be waking up at 6am to run.
Have you tested for your fat level? Do not just believe in what the eyes can see. :)
