day twenty: know your limits.

power cycling 8km: 18min 23s
biceps curls 5lbs each arm: 40x
shoulder lifts 5lbs each arm: 25x
 sit-ups: 40x 
 back arches: 40x. 


half way through cycling i began to feel nauseous. i thought it was normal until i began to feel that i'm losing my balance. i have a feeling like i was falling off the bike. 


i got off the bike. took my five. and started to work on my biceps curls and shoulder lifts. that was when it came back. 


"speak of the devil and he doth appear."

day nineteen: heatwave

power cycling 10km: 25min07sec
biceps curls 5lbs each arm: 40x
shoulder lifts 5lbs each arm: 40x
sit-ups: 40x
back arches: 40x.


there's something a bit off about the heat these days. the days are hotter. scorching might be the best word for it. 


and working out in this kind of heat; there's always the danger of dehydration. 


here's some tips everyone should follow. 

• drink a lot of water. this is the main thing that people tend to forget. when you work out. your fat exits you body through sweat. water keeps you hydrated. 
• take it easy. it would not hurt for you to take a time-out while working-out.
• wait till late in the afternoon for your workout to avoid the heat.

day eighteen: the walkabout

an old australian aborigines ritual for their youth to take. they would have to embark on a journey by themselves just to find themselves and their purpose in life.

i went for a walkabout of my own. went to shoot some old houses around town. sweat myself profusely in the heat of the day. got great pics to boot.

how many steps that i took? i don't know. didn't turn on my steps counter. all i know is i covered quite a ground in the heat.

 

day seventeen: out of gas

power cycling 10km: 23min12sec
biceps curls 5lbs each arm: 40x
shoulder lifts 5lbs each arm: 40x
sit-ups: 40x
back arches: 40x.

i was flat out of energy by the time i finish today's workout.
lips were parched. barely lift myself up by the time i'm done.
my fingers were shivering.

i have to say;
i like this feeling.

day sixteen: almost

power cycling: 10km: 23min36secs
lifting stationary bike: 40x
sit-ups: 40x
back arches: 40x

almost didn't make it today.
each news is hurting me.

almost half of my days i spent driving around aimlessly.
i burnt a quarter tank of gas driving around.

thinking.

(i think losing weight and emotions needs to run in parallel. the more disturbed are your emotions the harder it is for you to lose weight. but stress and depression won't go away that easy. so always keep a happy thought in mind. you'll see a great difference. even without any exercise)    
 

day fifteen: back. but not on track yet.

my speed lowered.
my time got up.

lifted to stationary bicycle = 30x
sit ups = 40x

i still feel the toe. nothing serious but the cut got wet.
not a very conducive condition for healing.
just annoyed that it interrupts my workout.  

day fourteen: who put that there?

no workout today.

had hurt my toes after walking into a wall.
yep this time it's a real wall.
i didn't notice it at first but apparently there's a 2cm long gash. lucky for me it was not so deep.

dang.
