Brief Explanation: The yellow line shown in the above picture is the journey of my daily running. Well, to be honest I am still not able to run EVERYDAY cause I am not a machine nor iron man. I give myself excuses all the time. But still, I am working hard towards making my jogging routine into a habit in future.
The Map: River - Brisbane River. Left Red Dot - My house. Right Dot - University of Queensland. Outdoor basketball court to be exact.
Journey: From my house, I run uphill for 10 meters. All the ways down to the green field is a slope, aids in rising up my jogging tempo. Run through 2 soccer field and a rugby field. Turn right when I am in roundabout, and run straight til I reach another 'track and field' field. I usually sprint my ass out of that myself in the last journey before reaching basketball court. So, naturally I'll be half dead when I reach there.
There's a small fitness part beside basketball court. I am able to use push up, chin up, sit up and etcetera. I particular love the chin up 'cause I am not able to do it at home. Now I am only pull 4 times.. -___- I wonder how many times I can pull if I weigh 60kg.
Anyone around Brisbane (St Lucia) want to join me run everyday? I could run everyday if someone paksa me.. hehe. Doing sports alone is damn boring weiiiii..
Aiyaya, I gained weights again. This topic has been a frequent topic in my blog if you're my frequent reader. Blame on the midnight snacks! Probably "meal" will be more suitable in this case.
My house mates know me very well. When I head to kitchen after midnight, they will immediately know "Ah, already 1am is it? Ah Bing is at kitchen searching for food."
Chuan always sarcastically say "Wooo, you have sexy body, baby."
Must get rid that habit. Need to tone down. My whole body starting to feel very sluggish and clumsy. The point is - I am not in my optimal state. I need to change my lifestyle. (Beer is a must, that's the highest priority in men!) But, where's the motivation?
Don't care lah. I don't like the way I look in front of mirror right now. Like babi. Must get back my fitness level like last year. Like this
I will start up my fat-burn routine by doing basic moves. Mainly will rev up my burning engine, secondly it will last longer because those are only simple moves. No dumbbell involved! See how long I can tahan.
Y Squat - Do 12 repetitions. 3 sets
Single-Leg Romanian Deadlift - Do 6 repetitions, 3 sets
Wall Slide - 10 repetitions, 3 sets
Spider-Man Pushup - 8 repetitions per side, 3 sets
Spider-Man Lunge - 10 repetitions each side, 3 sets
Currently only can complete 1 circuit (means do everything in one go, for 1 set each) Will work harder on it!! Summer is coming in few months. Must.. work.. harder...
4 years ago, I weighted light as a feather, so fit that I could run non stop for 20mins (for my standard). Soon after I graduated, my sports life ceased. Fats started to pile up, all muscles gone. all the chicks gone too...
Worse come to worst, I am not able to find a favourite sport in Australia. Sport genes started to degerate, I feel like an old man. Body metabolism turn to nil, zilch.
Summer 2004. I subscribed to Men's Health magazine. I learnt alot of valuable info about fitness and health. Gradually, I start to take notice on my own body, and did a fitness test.. it was terrible. I can't even do 10 push up. I enjoy reading the magazine, but never really had any action towards my own fitness.
I look into the mirror... gosh... it was a cruel scene!! No wonder no chicks are looking at me! Trust me, it is not a good view. From that moment, I knew, I have to do something about it.
You don't trust me? See this
So fat kan? That picture was taken 2 years ago.
I feel so disguisting looking myself at this state. I want to change! I want to transform!
Action speak louder than words. I failed few times because of inconsistensy and my weak determination. This time, I am going to prove to all my readers, I will make it! Blog this and keep my word! (if I failed.. alot people will laugh me, very pressure o!) Anyway, this is my workout plan...

These words... are printed out on a piece of paper. I stick it on my wall so that I can remind myself of my target! Must slim down this time!!!
"The daily battles I fought gave me a greater resolve, a determination, a purpose! The principles I began practicing day in day out.
Organization,
Planning,
Preparation,
Focus
Commitment
WILL all become habitual."
Soon, I will become like this . . . . . . . . .
Wish me luck. I definitely need it.
*entut, we together shed off our tummy ok? I believe you can get rid your tummy as well =)
Wanted to start a diet plan with Jeremy. Supposely we start today. But things are not in our plan.
1st, no house. indirectly mean cannot set my meals properly. My girlfriend turn out to be a better cook than I expected. How can I skip her meal if I am staying with her? No need prepare my own food =D Aiya, enjoy first la.
2nd, house is far far away from fitness first. Public transport is a big "no no" after sweats.
3rd, WHY MID-YEAR CLEARANCE SALES GOT SALE CHOCOLATE ALSO?!
4th, I am watching a japanese cooking show, called "Dotch Japanese cooking". The show definitely demolish my will for keeping fit. I am in the comfort zone. Eating is so much fun than keeping fit.
Conclusion?
I stay on eating first laa... until I move house, give myself a chance as "starting point". Move house means a new beginning, a new start, a new diet plan!
Recently. I have just started my "low carbo high protein" diet... this is one of the eating solutions to help you meet your weight loss goals. Yea right, let's see how it goes la. Let me explain why I choose to do this.
Why LOW CARBOHYDRATES? The body uses a combination of carbohydrates, protein and fat to get energy. Traditional diets are so high in carbohydrates it is impossible for the body to burn the amount of carbohydrates eaten let alone the protein and fat.
What happens then? The left over carbs turn to fat and are stored around your trouble spots.. like tummy.
Why HIGH PROTEIN? Protein is not only a perfect source of energy, but has the the added benefit of not turning in to fats when the body has absorbed more protein than necessary.
What happens then? Build and repair muscles (healthy muscle helps the body burn fat) Helps our organs, hormones and antibodies work properly.
Let's see how long I can tahan without carbohydrates.. because carbohydrates are one of my favourite food group, such as pizza, bread, pasta and rice :( I give myself 10 days without carbo.. hopefully I don't die.
About: Blog entries are mostly relevant with my university life. A guy who onces live on a tree, and went boar hunting with kampung friends.
