Its the 2nd day without cigarette and everything stink!! The car... home-office... workplace.... all smell of smelly ashtray. Eww.... The smell and scent is the most obvious differences on second day without smoking. Even 'people' smells good..... Yesterday was my first 24 hours without any cigarette in.... 10 years?
Those that had joined the stop-smoking-bandwagon are Azhar Sulaiman, Joe Liew Yaw Loong, Kamsani Ahmad, Zaiem Razak and Shear Ling Toh. Azhar Sulaiman, an actor, architect and businessman had been smoking for 20 years since he was 19 years old. Kamsani Ahmad, Proton Edar General Manager has been smoking for more than 30 years, Zaiem Razak, a cup cake czar for more than 20 years, Joe Liew Yaw Loong, a fellow comrade at the OBC-BU was married to cigarette for 14 years and Shear Ling Toh whom hopped on the bandwagon today!!! Shear Ling Toh ended her short 5 years affair with Sampoerna. Anyone else joining the bandwagon? Lets do this together!! I hope the social-chimney James Fong & John Chuah too will jump into the bandwagon.
Rumours has it, there are more than a dozen pax todate competing the 8-week challenge namely, Joe Liew, Freda Liu, Lizza Abdul Rahim, Mohd Arief Mokhsein, Ting Ying, Azman Yaakub, Farhanah Bamadhaj, Frederick Jasper Chai (Corporal), Daing Daniel Fitri (Sarge), Nawal Aini Zulkifli (L-corporal), Armin Baniaz Pahamin, Rose Emini Pahamin, Viki Lim, John Chuah.... From the feedback and inquiries received, there should be more than 20 recruits from OBC-BU. Instructors are allowed to compete too as an inspiration to participating recruits but will not be eligible to win any prizes (fix face-padan muka).

From a small bunny hop.. the intensity was increased with a Standing Broad Jump... ala Kangaroo jump.... We had to jump double the bunny-hop distance with both feet together.
Note: All pictures taken at BU-Bravo platoon.. There were no paparazzi at BU-Alpha..
All the jumping was only the start.. and only for a total of 5 minutes to get the heart-beat rising. The real challenge was the next session, the LOWER LIMB GRINDERS with Sandbag!! SAND BAG!!!
The first grinder with sandbag was a non-stop 5 minutes curtsy lunges & Star-Jump. The curtsy lunges worked the glut to shape up the hip. After the curtsy lunges, we did the stutter squat & Seal Jack for another 5 minutes to further condition the legs before changing to the next grinder. Next, was the 5-Minutes of non-stop 20 rep lunges and 20 mountain climbers... at this juncture..... there were
The Oohs & Aaahs orchestra became louder at the last grinders.... the Sumo Squat & Mountain Climbers!! There were a loud Phewww when we completed that last 5 minutes Grinders but another orchestra of Moans was immediately heard when Sarge Dann prompted, that was not the end of session.
The last circuit was a TABATA!!! Eight full sets of 20 seconds SQUAT PULSES with only 10 second break between sets and another Eight full Sets 20 seconds PIKES...... without any break, Sarge Dann instructed the platoon to pace him for a recovery run.
Seriously.... it was impossible to run. The legs were trembling like a jelly and refuse to even move but we still run. Who would dare to disobey instructions and be punished with endless Grunts.....

Thumbs up bro !
ReplyDeleteNow you can looking forward to see your younger and hotter look every single minute ! :-D
I like it when you influence your social friends to quit smoking too, some of smokers who try to quit smoking will give up easily when they saw other people smoking.. BUT you can cross over it :-) and motivated others to join you too ! you are best of the best
Dear ANon...
ReplyDeleteThank you for your support.. There is no better way to stop smoking than to do it with a group of close friends... that way we can motivate each other... ;-)
