Still Passive?!?

Today is quite a fulfiling day. Perhaps it was the activities and the progress I am making that makes me feel so, though the nagging feeling of what to do next is still somewhere at the back of the head.

On the driving front, I passed my Final Theory Evaluation. Am heading on track for the Final Theory Test on 2nd November, less than 2 weeks from now. After which, I had booked 2 slots for practical and will intensify after 1-2 times to get the hang of things.

On the 'exercising' front. I weighed myself 2 days back and am shocked that I had gained weight even though my stomach is rather unstable for 2 weeks and I had been eating generally porridge for lunch on most days. Yet weight went up. Strange is my 3/4 dont feel tight BUT the based on the weighing scale, my FAT % has gone up from 33 to 35%! Man, I would have to try to make better food choices, eat lesser and also exercise more. There is just no way around this maxim "Exercise more, Eat less" which also coincides with the finanical maxim "Earn more, Spend less"

I managed to swim a 2nd time this week. This time, no naked Aunty phew, very little pple in the medium pool. I felt stronger this time, could do 16 laps. Around 12th lap, felt tired but persisted on to finish my target. Then head to have a cold, long shower in the changing room and ate a very early dinner at 5pm. Headed home, and watched a bit of Cable tv. My dad went out shortly after I came back. Mom's not back yet from her 3rd run-off. Ate my peeled apples, still have some left to finish up.

Tomorrow, have to meet another insurance agent, then maybe think of another exercise session or I would have to go home again to come out again later for dinner. Hmm... I would rather stay out if I can, but what to do and where to go to use up the time is a question that is still unanswered. Hmm but I still think getting out to walk around, look at people, is still way better than staying at home, online doing virtual gaming or just finding stuff online. Its more productive, in my opinion than to delve more into oneself.

Though Tab would disagree and as she had strongly advised me to 'break out of my comfort zone' by doing other stuff... which I dont find appealing at the moment. Then her warning of "or else, you will become like your father...." does scare me. Yet some activities that I listed to her, she said those are still 'passive' and still does not have much socializing aspect. Well unless I go and join a church group where there is more socializing, others with such socializing would only include 2 others that I can think of, dating groups *nope* and sports/adventure groups, the latter is much more appealing.

Hmm... try to pick up a martial art? Go for dance class? (but I dont like social dancing), go CC course but those most likely meet middle age pple, cooking class - meet aunties, go SportsCounsel courses, most likely meet ladies trying to lose weight. This is tough.

I would rather save up a bit to buy both a Blender and an Oven so that I can make more drinks and even try baking cookies, making cakes and even enclairs. They seem simple enough.
