Most of my female friends are really super into exercise. Quite funny, since I’ve never been friends with any healthy-living girls before; from previous experience we simply haven’t managed to get along ‘cos we can’t go out together to eat 😛 But yep, most of the people I know here are really really really into diet and exercise. To the point that when we were last out, we had a table of 20 girls and ALL 20 of them ordered a salad (!!!!!!). And I was the only one that had a big pulled-pork sandwich and fries (YUMMMMM). It’s like I’m the fat friend that girls like to have around. Ugh. Oh well, at least the pulled pork was realllllyyyyy good :)~
Errr… anyway, I digress. So a bunch of the girls have been on this Fitness Challenge thing, which is basically bootcamp. I actually wanted to sign up, until I heard that it’s at the UNGODLY time of 6AM (!!!!!). That’s just unacceptable for me since I need my beauty sleep 😛 So whilst everyone did manic sit ups and sprints in the morning, I languished in bed instead, hehehehe.
And so the final Fitness Challenge came, where the 2 teams would compete against each other. It was held at the pretty Century Park on the Pudong side, and it was such a breath of fresh air getting away from the crazy city streets. And to see grass! And lots of it! Such a rare sight in Shanghai. Plus, the weather was fantastic – warm and shady with spots of sun peeking through the clouds.
So whilst the 2 teams did their challenge, Chris and I and a couple of others sat on our asses and ate chips instead, which is a LOT more fun than running around in a park 😛 It was great to get out in the afternoon and enjoy Shanghai’s fab Spring weather, and chill out under the trees. Plus, seeing all the fit girls prancing around sorta kinda made me feel guilty and want to sign up for the next set of Fitness Challenge…. almost 😛

Funny perspective. I didn’t even realize that last time in the boxing cat all of us had salads but you and Anna. BTW it was a super nice salad with bunch of ingredients. Despite all those challenges over the last 6 weeks I know only 2 girls that lost weight, the other 18 remained as they are, but definitely much stronger and fitter :))
I wish I could eat all that junkie food like you without any consequences. Even though you say you gain weight I can never see it.
Heh yeah I convinced her to get it, but sadly she wasn’t keen on the pulled pork, doh!
Erm I don’t think you need to lose any weight anyway, you’re tall and slim already, very very very lucky!!

all your white girlfriends are so fat, they need to exercise and drink less. you are asian, you are born slim. No wonder all the white men prefer asians, because of they are slim and beautiful.
That is super NOT nice!! Actually I think most of my gfs have fab figures, as well as great boobs, which sadly Asians tend to lack haha.
Can I just say I like your form of exercise and push-ups.
But I think I should be signing on to some bootcamp though. =S
It’s way more fun 😉
I should too.. but ughhhh.. so lazy!
:O I can’t fathom how you stay skinny with all that delicious food you eat. Seriously girl, you have an amazing body. ;D
Wei-Wei
Unfortunately it doesn’t really stay that way.. I’m rapidly putting on weight and having soo much trouble losing it, argh! I wish I was your age again when it was so much easier, hee
I love the last picture too! Your complexion’s flawless!!! *touches wood*
Hee I think the bright sun has a part in erasing flaws in photos 😛 Sadly, been having a bad skin week lately, I think it’s cos summer is fast arriving and the humidity is rising, doh!
I feel for you….Hot humid weather sucks..well, to me anyways..hehe!
why are those guys wearing pink shirts? are they promoting anti breast cancer or something.
you look the slimmest out of those 20 odd fitness doers and yet you do no work out and eat too much.
It’s our group’s colours.. Pink and grey/black 🙂
Ahh thanks, but we do have loads of really slim and fit-looking ladies in our group too!

Haha! Your view of food and life is very much like my own; I too often befriend fellow food lovers. I can’t seem to get along (that is, I can’t seem to understand) those who order constantly salads and live a life dissecting every minute bit of fat and carbs in their food! Sure, I have my days when I feel the need to be slimmer (like right now) and I’ll take a little more care with what I eat (by not over-eating) but I would never diet! Exercise, sure, I need to do that but eating low-fat everything goes against everything I believe in!
Well, birds of a feather, flock together, I guess! I also loove sharing food, and can’t if my friend orders a salad :X
haha I agree, low-fat stuff is just craaazy!

Lol, I’ll try not to be offended that you don’t think I’m healthy-living 😉
Yes Miss “fries!! pizza!!” girl 😉 It’s why I love ya, a girl after my own heart, hehe
Love the last pic.
It was on the super zoom camera setting, lol

I’m a vegetarian and even I very rarely order salads at restaurants. It’s usually such a waste of a tasty opportunity.
I agree, there’s no way I can wake up to exercise at 6 in the morn. I do like going to yoga and spin class, so now that I’m on summer vacation, I’ve been going in the morning… but more like 10, definitely not 6!
BTW, those sunglasses are super cute!
Heh I fully agree. ActuallyI had vegetarian pies last night and they were gooooood :)~
I got those sunnies from Chanel, the red is just so cuuute!

LOL at the fact that you look more slim than any of them and that you wore your burger and fries shirt =))
It’s one of my fave tees 😛 ohhh trust me though, I do have some very thin friends, part of hanging around with a super healthy crowd, heh!
I love your version of the pushup! Hilarious.
Muuuuch easier/better than a proper one, LMAO!
Your t-shirt is so cool and quite fitting the occasion lol 😉
I so couldn’t go train at 6am ouch!
You are so NOT fat! I can’t believe how you pull it off though with all the food!!
Teehee ya, it’s one of my fave shirts.. and way more fun bumming around that it was running around in the sun 😛
Heh there are some very slim girls in our group.. I guess exercise and eating less does help!
I always think it is a bit waste of $$ to pay for salads at restaurants. I always go for other main meals than salad dishes! 😛
Agreeeee! Unless it’s an awesome salad with loads of ingredients (like lamb, nice cheeses, etc), I would never pay for it when I’m out
