Gigi is Back!

Happy to feel that i'm back to where i should be this week! Having a good news that my doctor have cut down my medication and i feel 80% normal physically!

I can't wait to run as hell i used to be, swim with the super fast lane with my squad! Here it go this week. I started to pick up the pace on Monday. We did 2x1km at around 5mins 9 sec., 2x800m at a negative split. I didn't push myself so hard at the first laps, just trying to get a feel how moderately i can be faster by each laps. Feeling great at the end :) And happy to back to the super fast lane on Monday where i swum with the next lane almost for half of the year! That is the lane i need to stay with the threshold to maintain and i completed the whole program.

Tonight, i have make such an effort in the run! Program given: (2x400m at L4+1x400m at L2.5-3) x 3, My coach Kenneth shout to me to ran under 1min45sec at the last lap, coming back with the best lap time of 1min.40sec. By that time, i knew Gigi Wong is back!

2013.6.19 Team Sonic Running squad training at Wan Chai training track! 

Monday Training

Forced myself to keep up the fitness and to maintain regular exercise is the key now. Mon. and Wed. Club squad training is a must! Ran 5 km at a steady slow pace myself and following up with 3 sets of 15 sit up and hold for last set plus 30 quadruped! and last 60 sec. core plank.

Quadruped Linear Oppositions: In the quadruped position [hands and knees], press one leg backward and the opposite arm forward, both to full extension. Switch sides.

Swim is depressing! Now i switch to a Fast Lane (We only have Super fast and fast lane!) No problem to leading the swim but i have to slow down to avoid the heart rate going up, meaning that i have to let go and follow at the back and swim really slow and glide! When you think of the old days i usually coming up from the pool with exhaustion, now is more like did i doing my best and pushed all the way through? but i cant... The drop from the high to low is really miserable.

Sunday Run - Get through it

Looking at myself these days i am so lost in shape and i cannot let it go like this anymore. Pushing myself to maintain certain fitness is obviously what i have to do now. Charles went to Repluse bay for his Aquawiz Aquathlon and because i'm having some skin allergy, i am trying to avoid to the beach. Bad luck these day.
Ran the hard 5km around my house, feeling so great! Love the sweating! follow by 3 set of 15 sit up and 30 legs kick back! Feeling normal now....

Diagnosis of Thyroid and nodules

Day 9 of diagnosis of Thyroid
Bad bad bad mood :( These Thyroid is totally ruling my mood and my body!!!

I was diagnosis on 25th April (Thursday) after i come back with a Langkawi Mom & Daughter retreat. i have feel my heartbeat is difference few weeks ago and i told Charles about this, we both think that must be related to the increase amount of training. Until i found my throat pain when swallowing liquid, i see my specialist Dr. Lau Po Yee and is clear that this is not the esophagus cancer (i worried about this because i always eat too hot food and i think i eat a lots) and he suggest to check my blood and do a ultra sound and he feel that may be Thyroid!!

Blood test done and ultrasound done. Founded 6 nodules around and diagnosis of hyperthyroidism!!! That explain why i feel sleepless started few weeks ago, faster heartbeat, weight loss, pain when swallowing :(

Now having medication and i have seek for second doctor advice to check again after a month medication and see if the nodules have any changes! which means another blood test need to be done after few weeks!

Doctor have no limits on food and exercise. I try to cut down the shell type seafood. For exercise, training i feel bad. I feel my legs is so soft suddenly and no sufficient power to run when compare few weeks before. This really hesitate me.......i try to jog with Charles last week and totally want to give up the whole way, feel i cant catch my breath and no power at all......

Beside, i feel like i have no mood in anything: shopping, cooking, reading, candy crushing..........

Please please please give me back what i should feel......
