The early weekend

31 Jul

This 3 days weekend is a blessing, I really needed it to relax a little and get some rest, it seems that I laze off and post the day’s entry a bit late when I’m on vacation, its true… I couldn’t resist :)

Last night’s work out was good, Full body weight training was completed successfully.

I have dug up a picture of me back in 2005 when I was 104kg, I’ll post it today as a reminder to myself of what I was like back then.

This was taken in At Maracus Beach, Trinidad in the Caribbean,
and yes the snake is live and real!

I’ll try to post pictures in the future, until then stay strong and shed hard!

Another day, another step forward

30 Jul

Last night I barely had time after doing the grocery shopping to squeeze in my cardio workout, I was very tempted to settle for 300-500 cal burn but I pushed myself to finish the whole 600, Its the feeling you get afterward that serves as the best reward.

I had 20-30 mins before having to hit the sack to update my profile picture, the picture I have on was taken back in January 2007 in Barbados just after finishing an ATV Adventure Ride on top of one of the mountains there, I’ll try to post more pictures of me when I was 104 kg but the problem is I was very camera shy and quite embarrassed by how I looked..

I’ve been getting requests from friends and family to post some information about my training and diet, putting that up would need some more time dedication to this blog, I’ll try to add little information here and there and as part of my future posts so stay tuned if you’re interested.

I leave you with the long version of Dr. Randy Pausch’s (R.I.P) Last lecture:

Keeping the goal in sight

29 Jul

I remember reading once that “Discipline is doing what is hard and boring to achieve what is best“; Now I realized since Day 1 when I first said no more and when I decided to start this journey that I will most likely have to learn to live outside my comfort zone, I will need to push harder than I ever did, be more strict about what I eat and how much I eat, and to constantly monitor my body for changes (be it positive or negative). The reason I am mentioning this is that to do a sort of affirmation, I want to remind myself that regardless of hard things have gotten and will get, it will be so for a good reason and it will pay off. This goes for you as well should you be traveling the same path I am traveling.

Going back to the my progress:

Last night’s workout was good, a moderate full body weight workout along with some light cardio.
Today will be cardio day and I intend (God’s willing) to make it count, I hope my grocery shopping today won’t take longer than it should…

Here is another inspirational video you might like (I spotted this one on the Body Transformation Project Blog):

Gotta watch those calories!

28 Jul

Last night cardio was exhausting, I kicked it up a notch and went for 600 cal burn, the sad part is that I decided to spice up my post-workout protein shake with a table spoon of natural peanut butter (no sugar), the result was very calorie dense shake that I am sure have taken off 400-500 calories off my cardio!
I’ve learned my Lesson; I will be more careful when adding anything to my meals..

Today, I’ll go for moderate cardio and some moderate weight workout (hopefully there won’t be too many interruptions)
