I think I am getting a little lazy with my routine workout schedule. I usually do circuit trainings during Monday, Wednesday and Friday, with a light cardio in between during Tuesday and Thursday. I admit it was partly because my weight stayed stable even with minimal training.

It could be because I keep my calories intake balanced. I rarely eat any junk food nowadays, I kept my sugar intake minimal and I make sure not to eat too much rice or carbs. I remember back then I used to eat white bread with whatever fillings such as chocolate spread, strawberry jams, even minced meat whenever I am hungry.

At times I even ate noodles and rice with whatever side dishes I can find on the table or fridge. With minimal workout around once a week, it is no wonder that I gained more than 20lbs in less than a year. I really am glad that I am finally able to lose those weights I gained after more than 5 years. Read the rest of this entry »

Something funny happened today at work. Well, at least it was funny enough for me. It actually is still related to my last post a couple of days ago. People are still saying that I got thinner, and today is nothing different. So I decided that I will try something different instead.

I just had my working out session a few hours ago, and I have to tell you that it feels great! I fell out of my routine for almost three weeks, and there were times where I feared that I might gain weight again; considering the fact that I didn’t actually take much notice of my daily calories intake.

What surprises me the most is that regardless of my daily calories intake, my body is still able to burn it quite efficiently. Even without any exercise, I didn’t really gain weight at all. Now that is a good thing to know. Although I have to admit that even though my weight didn’t change but my overall fitness level has declined a bit.

I get tired more easily and I don’t have the stamina that I used to have when I am on my regular working out schedule. So it does feel great to be able to get back to my routine for this past two days. I am taking it lightly as to prevent my body from getting too exhausted, to make it able to adjust itself back to my usual schedule. Read the rest of this entry »
