Given my starting weight, I should have attained my goal weight by now. However, due to various reasons, I have not. Overall, my net weight loss still remains a positive number. That's good, I guess. <BR> <BR> I have recently registered to the sparkpeople 28-day bootcamp and pestered a special friend to do it with me. I have never finished any month long challenge on this site and I'm hoping that this time, I will actually finish one. <BR> <...

It feels more refreshing than waking up with the air conditioner freezing me to the core of my bones. It just feels so different in a good way. I just took a photo of my body for my records. Compared to my picture 73 days ago, I look significantly smaller. It makes me happy that even though I'm not able to exercise on a daily basis like how I did during my first month on spark, I haven't gained the weight back. If I did crash diet, I would've ga...

I swear, I'm gonna step on that scale tomorrow morning and wouldn't give a fuss if there's a damage! Thu, 28 Jun 2012 08:31:06 EST http://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage_public_journal_individual.asp?blog_id=4938610 Classes have already started two weeks ago and as expected, night by night, I need to read in advance and review previous lessons for hours. Sometimes I do. Sometimes I don't. However, one thing's the same. I have a very disturbed and noncontinuous sleep pattern. In addition, I'm starting to overeat again. Cookies, cakes, ice cream, coffee, pizza, burgers, chips, pastries...You name it. I have eaten all off those in the past two weeks. Yes, I am an emotional eater. I eat a lot when under stre... Sat, 23 Jun 2012 08:28:13 EST http://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage_public_journal_individual.asp?blog_id=4907523 The past two days has been very tiring for me. I walked for more than six hours, did laundry, scrubbed my dirty shoes on day 39. I wanted to finish tidying up my dorm space before I went to sleep but I didn't have the energy. I seriously needed some sleep! <BR> <BR> I woke up early the next morning and went out for my first jog ever at the park before I resumed cleaning my dorm. I thought I was going to feel awkward jogging in a public place, but I was wrong. There were a lot of joggers in t... Fri, 1 Jun 2012 13:54:21 EST http://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage_public_journal_individual.asp?blog_id=4892409 For the first half, I've been enthusiastically working out. For the later half, my diet has been a complete disaster even though I managed to squeeze in some cardio time. I can't sulk on that. It'll only drag me down back to the start if I did. <BR> <BR> I'll split this blog entry into three things - diet, exercise and aesthetic. <BR> <BR> DIET <BR> I have an extreme fondness for sweets, pastries and lasagna. It's a thing that I am not ready to give up yet or else I'll go insane. Classes wi... Tue, 22 May 2012 05:11:40 EST http://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage_public_journal_individual.asp?blog_id=4882815 Last week has been a disaster - five days of scrumptious feasts including my favorite pasta in the whole world, lasagna. I wasn't able to fight the temptations. In addition to that, my body felt extremely tired due to the fifteen consecutive days of working out. I haven't really tired out my body like that ever before. Luckily, I didn't gain any additional pound. Even though I'm still on track according to my weight report, I will admit that last week was wasted. I'll be doing double duty thi... Tue, 15 May 2012 15:31:17 EST http://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage_public_journal_individual.asp?blog_id=4870376 Wow. It has been half a month since I started working out. My family said I got a bit thinner. That's a bit pleasant to hear. Heh. For the past two to three days I started feeling to tired to workout. I've been pushing myself to do at least that one video for the spring bootcamp just to be consistent. I'm afraid that if I completely stop, it'll take me a long time to get back to it again. It's probably due to emotional stress.I become very unproductive when I'm sad. It's also the time I crave... Mon, 7 May 2012 11:24:46 EST http://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage_public_journal_individual.asp?blog_id=4864688 First of all, my main goal is to lose my belly fats. However, I've noticed that some of the muscles on my arms and thighs are starting to bulge. I guess those are just bonuses. I'm glad about those but I'd be really happy if I get a flat stomach. I know and feel it'll take me a lot more time and hard work to achieve that but I'm just hoping I wouldn't lose track midway. <BR> <BR> My mother recently bought an oven for me because it's been a long time since I asked her to buy one so that I cou... Thu, 3 May 2012 12:21:03 EST http://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage_public_journal_individual.asp?blog_id=4855905 Day 6 will almost be over, then I'm 24 hours away from my official weigh in. I'm not that excited about it, thinking I really didn't lose a lot, seeing how my tummy bulges, but let's hope I'll see even a tiny bit of result for some motivation. I have followed my cardio and strength training for the first four days but failed to do my strength training yesterday since I was really tired. However, I'm planning on doing it tonight. My caloric intake is always fluctuating but I didn't go over the... Sat, 28 Apr 2012 08:34:11 EST
