Today I am easy to tick off and pretty much out of energy. I know I am eating right and on time. I&#8217;m sure its my body trying to revolt against my attempts to reduce its fat percentage but I know my will is stronger than all of this. I&#8217;ve been down this road before and shall once again conquer this obstacle.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m off to do my weight training for the night, although I don&#8217;t feel like working out one bit tonight I will still do it, I will not go soft this time, not again.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<img src="http://www.thejourney.me/wp-content/categoryicons/j2.png" width="35" height="35" alt="" title="Journal" /><br/><p>Ahh.. Its been a long time since I&#8217;ve posted something here, not that anyone would miss it since its a ghost town :)</p>
<p>Nevertheless, I owe and explanation to those who follow(ed) my journey to a better body through previous year, here is what happened that made me stop for a while:</p>
<p>1. I had to move from a small apartment into a much bigger house, with no additional help I found myself with less and less time to spend to focus on my goal.</p>
<p>2. I have a son now :D a bundle of joy and lots of extra work to help his mommy take care of him (sometimes&#8230;).</p>
<p>3. with my gym moved into the creepy basement I find myself working out less than before, but the funny thing I never fully stopped working out, something kept me working on it.</p>
<p>Now, I did put up a farewell post earlier where I said I will updating this blog since it became like a chore more than a way to keep track of my progress and get in touch with other motivated people to reach my goal. I gotta say every time I fall down I find myself more determined to reach the finish line, now more than ever. So NO, I never quit, and even in that post I&#8217;ve stated that I will always continue working but I won&#8217;t update this blog, that have changed now.</p>
<p>I will update the blog on semi-weekly basis, there might be some posts here and there when I have something to share or talk about, I will also and for the first time&#8230;. post pictures of my progress.  I&#8217;ve started one week prior to writing this post and I&#8217;ve taken a picture back then.</p>
<p>[singlepic id=3 w=320 h=240 float=]</p>
<p>This is me at 84 kg, my body structure have changed since I&#8217;ve started this journey 2 years back, I have a bit more muscle than before and a good bit of fat that needs to go away.</p>
<p>The next picture should be after 1 month of work.</p>
