the gladiator roar

felt like giving one today..

tonight at the gym i did 15mins(4.5KMs!!!) on the elliptical trainer or steps. 
then i did another 15mins(8KMs!!!) on the stationary bike. 


i can really feel that my stamina has indeed increased. barely pants of out of breath. 


i did 60 sit ups. 120 Oblique crunches (60each sides). 40 leg raises 


and i am happy to report that i am now 123kg.
ROOOAAAAAARRRRR !!!!!!

been a while

been a while but i'm glad to say that i am losing weight since i started posting this blog.

i am now 125kg. regularly visits the gym. and still losing weight.

just that it seemed hard to break this 125kg wall. been at this weight for a month now.

my stamina however has increased.
my cycling sessions now cover 6km in 10mins then 5km and less when i started.
on the stepper i now do 3kms in 10mins.

i still have problems with the treadmill. i get motion sickness that i don't plan to repeat. so i have been stalling that since. maybe i should give it a try again.

size wise i have lost inches on my waist and all my shirt sizes are losing its extra Xs

great news huh?

to sum it off I AM HAPPY
 

i lost count

shit i lost count how many days it was.

but great news.

havent check my weight for the past week. but my waistline dropped.

it is now 46 inches. yeah.. from 56...
lost 10 inches baby
wohooo

reboot day 36: progress

10 august
10mins
4.83km 

12 August
10mins
5.21 km

20August
10mins 
5.73km












in case you are wondering the pics are from the monitor on the stationary bike at the gym. 
note the time is the same. +/- a sec difference. but notice the distance. it increases. although not much but it makes a big difference. 


in my first post i said that i will not turn to pill, slimming center or any other artificial ways to lose weight, because to me it does not work. it will burn a hole in your wallet thats for sure. but are you healthy losing weight that way?


 sometimes people forget that being healthy is much more important than losing weight. to me losing weight is a bonus. remember the main thing is to stay fit. 


if you have read my recent posts i had only returned to the gym after i finally had my tooth reconstructed and finally the pain is gone. so the pics actually speak for themselves really. after 3 trips from about 2 weeks away from the gym i was poor to start with. then the stamina returned after only three trips. 


losing weight is indeed a slow process. don't rush. never rush. give your body time to adjust to your new routine.


i feel healthier. i feel better. and i feel lighter. 
i now weigh 125kg. 


so get off those pills. leave those slimming centers. grab your running shoes get out there and jog. hit the gym, grab your bicycle, and cycle your way to a healthier life. 

stalled gym visits

cash related problem

reboot day 26 part 2:

no complains from the teeth,


so after 2weeks hiatus. today i went back to the gym. couldn't finish the usual routine. stopped after 1hr30mins.


 and vomited. bleargh!!! Xp

reboot day 26: i hope this works

again i went to the dentist. swapped the temporary filling to the permanent one.
just hope it works this time. i am planning to go to the gym tonight.

its been almost 2 weeks. hope fully i can still keep my old timing up.

reboot day 24: GREAT NEWS

i lost 2 more kilos.
wohoo... total weight loss is now 6kg in a month and 1 week.

sadly i've been missing my gym trips for the past week due to this tooth ache.

yup its still there. and i hate it.

reboot day 21: damn tooth ache..

can't focus on anything because of the toothache. no exercises, no trip to the gym and all sorts. 
been on painkillers for the past three days. and its not fun either. when bowed it hurt even more. let alone standing.

i went to the dentist too. to get some opinion.

it was actually one of my teeth that has a big gaping hole. and for the past few month the tooth is actually giving away. chipping little by little. i wanted to extract it. but the dentist said the root is still strong. and i was glad that she is being honest with me she told me if i want to go ahead with it its gonna cost although not a fortune, but a lot.

so she said she'll put fillings instead and hope that it'll stop the pain but what she didn't say is how long would it take for the ache will go away.

sigh.

reboot day seventeen: Fasting month

its fasting month now.
a doctor told me that i should take advantage of this. it should help me lose more weight, faster. but note highlighted the word 'IT SHOULD' means that i could but it all depend on me. for those who had come to my country they would know what i'm up against..

FOOD.  not just food but all kind of them. fatty food sweet food.

DAMN

reboot day thirteen: the day i panic

workout was great.
awesome view. if you now what i mean. =)

all the pain on my muscles just tell me that my muscles are working.
but can't finish my sets though. i only complete my sets for my chest presses, biceps, triceps and sit ups.

cant finish the sets for my back obliques, my back and my shoulders. fatigue i guess. 

reboot day eleven: the diet bust.

went to cover a muay thai meet over the weekend.
fully sponsored. out of timed food. ate after midnight. everything was out of order... trying to reschedule things today... no more reboot

reboot day eight: trial and failure

i tried this but i failed. couldn't handle pushups for 30secs.
i'm thinking of cutting 30secs down to 15secs.

it has definitely been a while since i did circuits like this.
gonna try again on friday. coz tomorrow i am scheduled for the gym.

reboot day seven: work out

today i found myself spending more time at the gym.

doing more sets. sweating even more. as i said before the gym was stuffy. no air conditioner. very suitable condition for me to lose weight.

because according to what i've read our fat flow out of our body when we sweat.

reboot day six: THE LOST!!!!

imagine a gladiator roar...

i lost 1KG after 1week. 4 gym sessions. wohooo!!!!

i know it's not that fast but i did it without medicinal help.

here's what i did:

normal routine workout at the gym
20mins cardio cycling/steps
biceps/triceps/deltoids curls
chest presses.
abs.
quadricep/hamstring curls.
(still waiting for my muay thai class to start though)

however i did control my food intake.

breakfast: 1 scoop of nasi lemak. 1 green apple. 1 small bottle of mineral water.
lunch: grilled chicken/fried chicken.  1 green apple. 1 small bottle of mineral water.
tea time: green apple. 1 small bottle of mineral water.
dinner: 2 scoop of rice. fried veges. 1 green apple. 1 small bottle of mineral water.
 

reboot day two

went to the gym again today.
sweat a lot. don't want to say but yeah like a pig.

still the same routine.
cycling 10mins.
weights for upper body muscles.
then abs then quads and hamstring. something new? i did it for 2 rounds.

summary of reboot day one. i went to 1 small makeshift muay thai gym but with legit trainer of course. but unfortunately he was not feeling well (he pooped his back on sunday) i ended up teaching the kids stretching. oh yeah i for got to tell you about the kids. yeah the gym i went were filled with young padawans haha not so young, but they made me feel old.

i am 29. the oldest there was 18. go figure.

reboot day zero

found myself a gym. 
figured that working out at home helped little. food is still there. available almost 24hrs. 


so i found a gym. today was my second visit. it was humid. a walk from the locker to the stationary bike had already made you sweat. 


the heat helped sweating.  using the machines helped even more. 
however i couldn't really keep track of what i was doing though. i didn't know the names of half of the stuffs in it. 


here's a summary. 
i spent 1 hour at the gym. started off with cardio workout. 10 mins on the bike. lifting dead weights to work the upper arms muscles(biceps/triceps/deltoids/trapezius) on the machines for the peck, abs, quadricep and hamstrings. 


i am now 130kg 177cm. bmi is at 41.6. bmr is at 2557.2.  my Body Fat Percentage of 33.51%
according to the site i posted before this i need to lose about 43kg. of which the site had also said that number is unrealistic. so as at now i haven't decide on how much should i lose to be realistic. or should i go for broke?

reboot day 6

i need to be a mathematician to lose weight.

found a wonder full site that helps a lot.
