You guys are encouraged to share ur activities here - a personal journal is tough to maintain

So for me tomorrow, am planning to do HIIT in the afternoon n weights later after work.

whee

As we mentioned, your goal is whatever that u set - so since u set no BF goal ......

tengster,
I didnt know u run

My BFF just asked for lunch tomorrow -there goes my HIIT afternoon session. Will do 20 mins workout in the morning instead

tengster,
I mean I didnt know that u run religiously to lose weight. I thought it was a temporary thing for some athletic performance purposes

myremi,
I will eat curry mee + CKT tomorrow (and cheesecake for dessert. gosh) since thats what we always do on Fridays when she's around. Eep.

myremi,
*ahem* There there....we must all make sacrifices

started my day with steel cut oats - they're one tough meal to cook! filled me up quite nicely

was planning to workout in the morning - we both woke up late and had to scuffle to office instead

lunch with bff in 2 minutes. will up my workout later in the evening. bleh

bcaa = branched chain amino acids

hey fatsos,

Had a crazy HIIT yesterday - I finally reached the 'burning lungs' phase, I stepped out of the treadmill, did some stretches and wanted to do some minor walking for like.. 30 mins afterwards.

Couldnt. Just couldnt. Showered and went back home - that was some crazy workout.

Had lunch of beef + tomato sauce + onion + mushroom + pepperoni + parmesan cheese today. Am thinking of trying out Jillian Michael's 30 Days Shred program

oi you're not allowed to measure till after 1 month!!

this is because our body weight adjusts around 1-3kg a day depending on what u eat, drink, poop out etc. you can drink 2ltrs of water and gain 2kg - that doesnt mean ur getting fatter

just lose the microgram obsession already - or better yet, stick to normal weight scale instead of digital ones

dokidoki,

i once did that - measure 3x/day, everyday. the more i measure, the easier i get frustrated and the less i get motivated. i got rid of the scale (traded it with bubbles, whom bought me a pair of nike sneakers instead (I LOVE YOU BUBBLES!!) ) and use my waist measurement/fitting of various clothings/mirror for progress

there's a scale in this house and one at the gym, I'm doing great not stepping on them so far except for yesterday for this challenge

DEVICLOT,

it just shows how strong the scale attraction is

charge-n-go
You do know that those stuff contain a lot of fat, right. And a slow metabolizer like you will hv to wait for hours for them to be available as energy?

no lah. fat slows down absorption

ur sayur has mayonnaise and the gravy for mash id made by adding flour to cooking oil of chicken (my bro's fren worked in kfc).

if you really want 500kcal of energy den stick with clean carbs

yes they are. but kfc's mashed potato aint potato


clean carb = min fat. if u eat oatmeal with butter + milk then it's not considered as clean dy

(i eat oat with butter, milk & blueberries... mmmmmmmm)

boxed mashed potato is often made of powdered cooked potato + other fillers n stripped of their nutrients and other benefits.

think 100% ground beef and ramly patties. ramly patties hv a significant amount of starch in them hence doesnt really hv the full benefit (especially protein amount) of real beef

hv u tried a real mashed potato in chilis or other fancy restaurant? the texture is rougher than kfc's potato

CF, tell us frankly

Have you been eating?

Hi shadowjass!!!!!!

What I did today :
Day 1, Level 1 of JM's 30 day shred - got me sweating till i hv to wipe the floor afterwards. This is GOOD!!!

Hving salmon with olive oil now for dinner now

Tomorrow's agenda : Morning long run + running clinic afterwards. And Day 2 Lvl 1 30 day shred in the afternoon.

w00t w00t

HUARGHH!!

I just got back from SCKLM Running Clinic & started to run to Hartamas from Bukit Aman at about 11:45am. The heat was so unbearable - I started walking after finding out that I couldnt sweat anymore (dehydrated) and was hving minor cramps.

I walked towards the Masjid, Matrade and Mont Kiara while wondering.. where on earth is Hartamas - turned out I made a wrong turn and was forced to run/walk a few kms more than I should UNDER THE 12PM SUN!

I went to Hartamas Shopping Centre and bought a Gatorade and proceeded to walk till Sri Hartamas Petronas. Was supposed to run/walk back to Bukit Aman but due to the extra kms and unbearable heat I decided to call it a day.

Will do Day 2 Level 1 of 30 Day Shred today also. Had a small plate of meehoon with metalfreak for breakfast and I'm too tired to think about lunch. Just wanna shower, take a nap and load my body with apple-flavoured Xtend BCAA for recovery.

tengster,
I actually ran with 2 small bottles of mineral water. They werent enough ;

zeist,
dont forget ur cardio

CF,
hence why part of the challenge is not to measure urself everyday (or 3x/day). stressing out will shoot cortisol up ur blood stream and this will encourage fat storage.

shadowjass,
2.5kg bf = 5.5lbs of bf = 19250kcals

if you workout 20 days out of 30 (10 rest days) and go around 400kcals deficit on rest days, aim for 762.5kcals deficit on workout days.

to put that in perspective, i hv to run 10k to burn 600kcals

muahahhahaha
