Mystery

I think its a mystery! It seems like i did not lose any weight when i have been jogging for that 1 week during holiday.However, i lost weight just sitting at home everyday, rotting infront of the laptop!Don't you think its strange?

Sidenote:
Just before you think that i am not disciplined to jog regularly , read my previous posts and you will know that i fell one fine day when i am jogging,causing bruises and opened wound on my ankle and elbow.Because jogging can be such a dangerous sports i will not do it ever again.....Just joking

I decided to explore the wonder of sports , and see what i may be attracted to.Lets make it fun and healthy!


The same thing happened 1 yr or so back.When i was staying over at Wen Jie's House because my new house is under renovation.Everything that i ever did at her house is eat,watch TV play The Sims!Nothing that made me work out at all.Now the strange thing is when i went back to my new house,i took my weight and to my surprise i loosed weight!


Perhaps its just nature way of telling me that , multiple meal will cause you to loose weight.
But i guess so , since many of this online website says that multiple meals helps to increase your metabolism rate !


And Metabolism is the set of chemical reactions that occur in living organisms in order to maintain life. These processes allow organisms to grow and reproduce, maintain their structures, and respond to their environments. Metabolism is usually divided into two categories. Catabolism breaks down organic matter, for example to harvest energy in cellular respiration. Anabolism, on the other hand, uses energy to construct components of cells such as proteins and nucleic acids.

The chemical reactions of metabolism are organized into metabolic pathways, in which one chemical is transformed into another by a sequence of enzymes. Enzymes are crucial to metabolism because they allow organisms to drive desirable but thermodynamically unfavorable reactions by coupling them to favorable ones. Enzymes also allow the regulation of metabolic pathways in response to changes in the cell's environment or signals from other cells.

The metabolism of an organism determines which substances it will find nutritious and which it will find poisonous. For example, some prokaryotes use hydrogen sulfide as a nutrient, yet this gas is poisonous to animals. The speed of metabolism, the metabolic rate, also influences how much food an organism will require.

A striking feature of metabolism is the similarity of the basic metabolic pathways between even vastly different species. For example, the set of carboxylic acids that are best known as the intermediates in the citric acid cycle are present in all organisms, being found in species as diverse as the unicellular bacteria Escherichia coli and huge multicellular organisms like elephants. These striking similarities in metabolism are most likely the result of the high efficiency of these pathways, and of their early appearance in evolutionary history.


Don't understand?? neither do it , i got that from Wikipedia .

However the mundane explanation of metabolism rate would just be the rate your body burn's fats! Yeah now its easier to understand.



And in an attempt to make this post a little longer and more interesting
i will post some photos from my previous Sentosa trip













See i said, if there is no Sharon or Jovan around there will be no photos.
Sharon is present that day so theres photoes =)
