Getting Fit for SteemFest with Actifit and Blocktrades || 27 Jul 19 || My New Activity Record with Family!

Hello everyone! Hope that you are all having a happy superb weekend! Phew! I got my steps in early again this week and it feels awesome! I blew the ball out of the park with my activitiy count today because this is the first time ever that I have gone over 27,000 steps!!! My body is now feeling the after effects... LOL! A little ache here and there... Ok, ok I am actually aching everywhere!

We started off the day relatively early and we decided to explore a new park with the kiddos! So off we went to the Bukit Jalil Recreational Park. When we arrive the morning weather was excellent! Blue skies and bright sun without the hot humidity as it was still early. As with any new park our first stop was the children's playground of course. The kiddos ran screaming with excitement to the long whirly slide. Even I was tempted but I didn't want to risk getting stuck halfway through the tube! Now that would have been hilarious...

They played with everything there, climbing around like monkeys and having a ball of a time! After a while, they made a friend with a little boy who is the same age as Chapati. It was so cute watching them play together.

Then they discovered the pebble path! This is a path where it is specially created using different sizes of pebbles for people to walk on and massage the soles of their feet! Oh! I was the first one to take off my shoe as I love foot reflexology and this was a way to get my foot reflex shot for free! It felt really really really good! The kids of course followed suite but after a while got bored. The thing with foot reflexology is, the more issues you have with your health the more painful it is for different parts of your foot depending on where your health issue is. Kids don't feel anything because generally they are healthy when they are that young! 3 and 5 year olds are so lucky!

After spending about nearly 2 hours at the playground we said goodbye to their new friend and went off exploring different parts of the park. I also wanted to try and catch @elizacheng as she had a special event that same morning in the same park. The park was really big and had different things to see. We decided to cross a bridge when we noticed a lot of people crowding around throwing bread into the water. They were feeding catfish! We were all amazed to see the number of catfish in the pond and quite a few of them were huge! A kind Mum handed my boys a piece of bread each and asked them to feed the fish which they did with glee!

We continued our exploration of the park looking for the "windmill" as @elizacheng called me and told me that they were set up there. She had a laughing yoga session in the morning and now they were sun watching. We have never done something like that before so we were astonished to be able to look directly at the sun! (with the help of special sunglass of course!) There was also a telescope set up for the kids get a better look at the sun!

Finally we visited some of the different gardens that the park had namely the Japanese bamboo garden and the chinese garden. We were too tired to look for the rest as it was getting really hot and everyone was ravenous from all the exercise. Brunch was our next stop as it was already past 11 am. So the boys said their goodbyes and we headed off to roti canai, paper thosai and nasi kandar! Yum!!

After brunch we all went home to clean up and by that time the boys were more than ready to for their trip to dreamland... ie. afternoon nap. Finally, I got some peace and quiet to get my weekend chores done around the house. Hubby too had to do some work around the shops and when he got back we were all ready to head out again to our next adventure!

DECATHLON! Yup it was a shopping adventure as Hubby needed to get some sport shorts among other things for his week long trip to Singapore next week. He is going for work and training. The kids were thrilled as there is so much to play with over there. Tents, bicycles, scooters, ping pong tables, a basketball hoop to shoot and lots and lots and lots of balls! (What is it with balls and toddlers?) The biggest attraction? Trampolines!

Shopping is hungry work and we ended the day with Dim Sum for a late dinner!

So you know how I managed to pick up so much activity today. It was an awesome fun-filled day and the kids as you can imagine slept very quickly and very well! Goodnight everyone!

Thanks for dropping by my little space.

Xoxo,
