Die die have to go to gym, TOMORROW!
The launch went well, but umm, I kept eating. It’s a bad week for me. I can’t seem to control my food consumption.
What worse was that this day itself, supposedly, I should be able to go to gym, but the event ended at 7 and there was a post event dinner which I just wont skip since its not often that me and my team are able to sit together and have a good time, talking, changing opinions and just chill (it’s a hectic life, this publishing life).
Breakfast – I had some chicken bits stir-fried with half a can of tuna, with half serving of nasi lemak bungkus (took the sambal and egg, haha)
Lunch – My printer person, who’ve been dying to take the designers out for lunch decided to treat us with Friday’s, and I had chicken quesadillas. Chicken strips wrapped with so called taco (like a harder version of roti canai, damn it!) with salsa, avocado, some shredded lettuce /salad and sour cream (took some). And the sharing spirit arose and I had my boss’ chicken taco (he dunked it on my plate before I could reject) and then I took two strips of colleague’s medium rare stakes with some green peppers and onions. The other designer had spaghetti with hot prawn sauce (whatever it’s called) and I spun the fork for one good spin and that was it. Then had some of the fried (yikes!) mushrooms (3, I remembered) and that was that.
They ‘bantai’ my printer person by sharing chocolate mud pie to wrap the lunch session so I had like ¼ of it.
I feel bad aite?
Tea – Finger food consisting of several small sandwiches tuna and chicken (white bread, so I stopped after two of those), took some tuna rolls, and took 2 prawns and a small, cube-shaped brownie.
BAAAAAD.
Dinner – We went for pure malay cooking at Bangsar’s Rebung and I just ate the dishes, no carbs, at all. Ate strips of meat from the gulai lemak cili padi (coconut milk mixed with some spices and hot chillies) but didn’t gulp the gravy, just meat and the some veggie in the same gravy as well. But no slurping of it, just took the veggies. I filled my tummy by having coconut juice (with bits of it).
My goodness. I am turning this blog into a whining thing now. I shouldn’t. It’s out of the ‘fitness blog’ line.
Baby steps, Ibster, baby steps…
God, tomorrow three different shoots will take place and I will make everything efficient so that I can get myself off from that office of mine and do cardio, weight training (Im getting fucking weak!) and some calisthenics exercises.

Dear blog, its been a week since I last train. (like confession pulak)
Last weekend was suppose to be a workout weekend but instead, due to stress and all, I went on a short trip to Penang, on impulse. Last minute decision. I told myself I needed a getaway, and that was it.
Diet got crash and burn. But I maintain still the 3 hours eating. The only bad thing was that I indulged on white bread toast for my first breakfast, Nasi Kandar for my first lunch, big buffet on my last day and also a serving of Nasi Goreng Pattaya for dinner on the very very last day. It consist of just flavorings like soy sauce and small amount of mixed veggie, with egg as the wrap. Why cant nasi goreng be more healthy and filled with nutrition!? I hope all the walking around town can at least do some justice.
Thats bad.
Been busy and tired after work. Work itself dragged all the way till 8 onwards and by that time, the gym is already closed (maybe I should switch to fancy gyms that operates all the way to 10?).
Two days ago I already packed everything to go and then last minute, my writers ask for assistance, carrying loan items for yesterday's day long shoot. I hope walking around from one mall to another WITH those heavy coats and shopping bags helped as well :P
And I now feel bad, watching the ad on the right of my blog. Yes Im making excuses.
Hopefully if there's extra time today after the launch of a new mag (that Im involved in) I can get my self to the gym. Or else tomorrow will be my first visit to the gym for this week (BAAADDD!!!).
I doubt that I'll be in during Sat and Sun (both days) because I might have aches all over if I train hard on Friday (or even today).
Damn it. Two visits this week.
Improve on your time Ibster!

Body Weight Exercises!
Listed below are exercises that require no additional weights whatsoever. The only weight needed is already installed inside of us naturally. Yep, its our body weight! (No prize for guessing).
For fitness freaks who go nuts over not being able to workout when you’re not in your usual area (or out of town, without any gyms that allows per entry kind of visit), this is a great alternative... (at the very least, fine)
For anti-socials who feel like having a good workout (or wanting to start somewhere), do these in the comfort of your messy rooms. Just make some space, it’ll do. (Or you can tidy up and clean the room altogether prior to these routines as it can also act as an unintentional warm up/cardio with benefits)
For gym rats, add these for an additional health benefit and really sweat yourself out.
Girls, y’all can pretend to work the ‘imaginary runway’ fiercely, back and forth (and you already have a motive to work harder! Be a model!) Guys, y’all can pretend to be busy and walk around the house (or neighborhood, for some fresh air) and make yourself look busy, rushing for something (do it right and it might lead to a career in acting no?) But then again, anything that warms you up is OK. As long as the body temperature is rising, then you are prepared for a higher intensity exercises.
30 seconds to two minutes should be the length of each, but mood and environment matters. So set your mind first and foremost. Move from one to another smoothly but quickly as well. Stretch to cool down later on.
*Aside from my comments, everything below are cut and paste info from the site I credit below. I am honest :)
Squat-Thrusts Stand with feet together. Squat down and place your hands on the floor next to your feet. In an explosive movement, jump feet backwards into a push-up position, jump feet back between hands and stand up. *I see it as using my hands as anchors to the ground. Then focus on the movement.
Push Ups Begin in push up position, on knees or toes. Perform 4 push ups, abs in and back straight. On the 5th push up, lower halfway down and hold for 4 counts. Push back up and repeat the series - 4 regular push ups and 1 halfway - 5 or more times.
One-Leg Balance / Squat / Reach Stand on one leg and hold it as long as you can. If this is too easy, add a slight squat motion. Still too easy? Place an object on the floor, several feet in front of you (a book, perhaps), and slowly squat down, and reach out with one arm and touch the object and slowly return to an upright position. Stay on one leg at all times. Repeat on the other leg after a minute or so.
Backward Stride Stand with feet together. Stride backward with one leg, while raising the arms to shoulder level. Lower the arms to your side and repeat with the other leg. Pick up the pace for more cardio. * I don’t get this one.
Chair Dips You’ll need two chairs, (or a bed and a chair or a counter, etc…) for this great tricep exercise. Place two chairs facing each other, about 3 feet apart. Sit on one chair with your hands palm down and gripping the edge of the chair. Place your heels on the edge of the other chair and hold yourself up using your triceps. Slide forward just far enough that your behind clears the edge of the chair and lower yourself so your elbows are at 90 degrees. Do as many repetitions as you can.
Wall Sit With your back against a wall, and your feet about 2 feet away from the wall, slide down until your knees are at a 90 degree angle. Hold the position as long as you can.
Jump Lunges Start in the lunge position – one foot forward and one foot back. Bend your knees and then jump up high and switch leg positions. Use explosive, but controlled movements.
Reverse Crunch Lie on your back with your hands out to your sides, and bend your knees. Bring your knees toward your head until your hips come up slightly off the floor (don’t rock). Hold one second and repeat.
Jumping Jacks The basic jumping jack is a good cardio and strength training exercise.
Side Jumps Stand with feet together. Jump to the right several feet, keeping knees bent and landing in a squat position. Jump back to the left and continue jumping from side to side. Use a small object to jump over if you like (book, pillow etc).
Mountain Climbers Start on your hands and knees and get into in a sprinter’s start position. Keep your hands on the ground and push off with your feet so you alternate foot placement (run in place) as long as you can. Be sure to keep your back straight, not arched.
Planks Get into push up position on hands and toes, or on elbows and toes. Contract your abdominal muscles (and core). Keep your back straight (don't collapse in the middle) and hold this position for as long as you can. *I motivate myself by doing this shirtless, then I can see my belly, and it’s enough for the mind to tell me to push more ;)
Wall Squat-Thrusts Lean into a wall with your hands and keep your feet shoulder width apart several feet from the wall. Slowly lift one knee up toward your chest and back and then the other leg. As you improve your fitness, increase your leg lift speed and move your weight onto the ball of the rear foot.
Crunches Lie on your back with your knees bent and feet flat on the floor. Place your fingertips to the side of your head just behind your ears. Push your lower back into the floor flattening the arch and hold. Curl up slowly so both your shoulders lift off the floor a few inches. Hold for a count of 2 and return to the start position. Tip: Don’t tuck your chin to your chest; keep your head up.
Superman Lie on your stomach with your arms and legs stretched out. Raise your arms and legs off the ground a few inches, hold a few seconds, and then lower. Alternate arms and legs as an option. Repeat.
Walking lunge Start at one end of the room and take a long stride forward with the right leg. Bend down so the forward knee is directly over the toes and at a 90 degree angle. Raise up and repeat with the other leg across the room.
Shadow Boxing Assume the position and go for a little shadow boxing. It’s really a pretty decent way to get your cardio and strength work all at once. Focus on controlled movements (not flailing punches), stay light on the balls of your feet and keep your knees bent. Practice jabs and upper cuts and all your moves. Hold a couple bottles of water for more resistance. *Imagine an asshole from workplace in front of you. Release your surpressed anger through fast fist works (punches) and be creative and focus on the asshole’s body parts (chest, tummy, shoulder etc). Nuff said.

Smoky
Hanging out with friends are great. But not when Im turn myself into a secondhand smoker. Damn it.
Damn it. Its been a while since I last blogged here.
I would like to congratulate myself for managing to enjoy the birthday weekend (thanks for the treat and surprises guys) without much consumption of empty calories. Cakes and desserts, I still consume, but small portion by small portion, with several days as a gap (hey, Im still trying to control it aight) I still have my birthday cake inside the fridge and just now after a dinner (before 7) filled with protein (lean chicken parts) I cut myself a slice just to kill my craving and pause my urge and desire towards it...
Training-wise, been hitting the gym 3 times a week and its not a good thing, I think. Apart from wasting my hard-earned cash (Im still money-driven when it comes to these matters - so many things to buy!) I can easily slip back into my lazy mode, thanks to the abundance of tasks at work, which can cause me to either stay long (skipping the gym) or going back to the office after gym (normally be back at 9, and tired as hell hence causing lack of attention and energy towards it.... kind of useless, people work beter when they're not tired... DUH)
I need to train the mental department more as well.
As I told myself, do DOABLE weights, even though it might look pathetic! Just make sure it still challenges the muscles to work.
But then, the ex trainer wanted to train me since hes there and not occupied by any of his other clients (actually hes training me since my stubborn little bro didnt complete his sessions, the one I paid for the betterment of his fat ass, with him, so instead he used all the leftover sessions, 4 to be exact, on me..) He hit me with a BODYBUILDING, hardcore-esque weights and yes, I followed and although Im happy there's someone to motivate me, some of the stuff I did werent THAT perfect in form (and also some were assisted by him) In some ways, I try to strategize not coming in when hes in. Haha. Oh well.
Been stretching a lot so far after my normal workouts and it feels great. Im going to experiment more with body weight exercises and although it is a bit embarassing to just jump up and down or duck-walk (not sure the proper term) around the aerobic area. (among guys who lift weights and does "macho" stuff) I tell this to myself:
THIS IS HOW I ACHIEVE MY GOAL. THOSE ARE THEIRS. SO BE A FOOL AND COMPLETE THE JUMPSETS (or prisoner squats... or whatever exercise that might look funny when being executed).
Yes, I am a crazy motivator for myself. I am the bitchiest trainer for myself. And Im fine with that.
*On a side note, Ego opened another store at The Curve (woohoo!) and now I dont have to travel all the way to Tropicana area to get myself my dose of protein powder. (Yeah, Im not into product mailings) When I have enough cash, that is :P

I find it a fuss to explain to people when they ask me why I dont eat this why I dont eat that. I am an avid reader when it comes to finding facts that are useful for my body and health. I am however not a good preacher or a good teacher to explain why this is this and that is that. Another reason that Ill use for my excuse of being a lazy information provider is that I know that most of them will go "Ala, we're still young and that we dont have to worry much for now".
Well early training will definitely create a stronger base and will eventually become a habit and thats how I see things for now.

The 20 Healthiest Foods for Under $1
Food prices are climbing, and some might be looking to fast foods and packaged foods for their cheap bites. But low cost doesn’t have to...
Right now Im feeling slightly uncomfortable.
I skipped gym (I was tired, no shit) and went to have an unhealthy dinner with colleagues, along the way turning myself into a secondhand smoker.
I had this thing consisting of a thing dough with tuna + mayo (lots) + chicken ham + egg fillings… with additional curry sprinkled over… I managed to spread away the excessive, additional mayo on the top though, so good thing I did that.
Should I be worried? A little is okay I guess. It’s not always that I spoiled myself with food that doesn’t benefit me and my body.
But then again, I had this fried mushroom pieces around 10 pm (few strips, thank god) and that made me feel down a little… but then again. Enough! Depression over small things will lead to nowhere.
So I’ll just need to finish off all my work tomorrow and make sure I head to gym for chest and triceps. By tomorrow I hope the muscles aches around the thighs will be gone and Im able to perform more rigorous aerobics after/before my workout tomorrow.
Note to self: DOABLE weights (pushing the limits accordingly). LESSER cardio, walk faster though. Eat right. DRINK lots of water, it’s not that hard to down a full bottle. IMPROVE the close grip pushup and TRY to do 5 perfect chin up.
Rest well later… by reading, or something.
Night!

Currently having some sores from yesterday's 'back-to-the-gym' workout (leg and shoulders - doable weights + minimal cardio + body weight exercises). I think I need to increase my protein intake just to make sure those badly worked out muscles are repaired and ready for the next visit. Protein shakes is still a luxury for me at the moment, so chicken boobies and egg whites will be my bff. I guess I was pushing myself too much yesterday, as I know that my body haven't recovered from the previous workout, which was days ago.
Nuff said. Sleep was good and here's a video!
Be motivated and enjoy!
I think it's possible. I really do.
