maybe you have overworked yourself neuromind....though I dont believe in that.....

i don't think so.. no stress at work and i usually only do intense workout like tue,thurs,sat.
it's definitely the sleep. still aware of what's happening even when sleeping.
heck, i'm even aware i'm dreaming when i'm dreaming.

Oh oh....hmm....something not right in the world? Maybe it may help to get a buddy in RL to workout together with you.

To the others, ooi! Our friend needs some support and motivation lah.

@badutman
i dont mean to be harsh but those are not cheat meals. those are plain stupidity. one serving of pizza is one slice. one serving of pizza is approx 350kcals. 3/4 pizza is 6 slices, 2100kcals. your 9.36k jog was 550kcals at best. dont even let me start on ur nasi kandar.

LOL~~~!! Syd , that was harsh =P

Yea, even when I ran for 1 hour, it was only 597 calories burnt. Ah well, not end of the world. Watch what you eat for this week and work harder to compensate.

Playing basketball 2 days straight, song ah~

thanks Syd G.
even its lil bit harsh, but what to do, wrongly eat, kene la.
u know la, when come to eat out with family & sis in law...

btw i welcome comments/complains/recommendations, its a support group rite. no pain no gain

badutman : found the info. The hormone is known as leptin and only discovered in 1994 though. So not much research yet on it.

But some folks are using it as a way to lose weight. I got to hear about it from this site although I didn't pay for the program.

Syd G : You know, the sad thing about pizza or any pieces of bread, is that they come with too much calories.

Just walked down from 11th floor due to a firedrill earlier.

However, hopefully I will be able to run for an hour or more in the gym later.

To post up the workout later.

thanks myremi. no weightloss supplement used, no ketogenic/catabolic/aktin/ape2 & i dunno where leptin triggering came in (if not from exercising). but as far as i know, since early april09 i have drastically reducing eating rice from twice daily to one daily to max 2-3 per week. and yes, i do have each other day cheat day (coincidentally this method have been posted some website as weight-loss method). since then, i realised that my weight reduce from 70->68->65->64kg.

btw, today lunchtime no WO, got meeting on 145pm, so gonna jog outdoor today, n surely no HIIT today on road.

Maybe you just have a body that can take it? From the jogging u do?

I don't know enough about dieting though to say why it happened. Skipping rice does help a lot but to explain why the weightloss happened even after massive cheat meals.

Although, chatting with a friend, we were kinda shock at Michael Phelps high carb diet. 9000 calories per day. Then again, competitive athletes may be taking that much I guess.

Michael Phelps is in a totally different league.

He trains 6 hours a day and 6 days a week.

Quoted from Motley Health:
Michael Phelps’ Workouts and Training Routines

Phelps trains for six hours a day, six days a week, without fail. Even if Christmas day falls on a training day, he does a full day of training. Total dedication to his training program has made him a world champion.

He swims approximately 50 miles (80km) each week, which is over 8 miles per training day. He has two massages everyday and also takes icebaths to help his body to recover.

Source

I wouldn't believe all these sources really. There were numerous sources that said Michael never lifted weights and on youtube, we have videos of him training and talking about lifting weights.

Then they say he trains for six hours a day, 6 days a week. Where did he find the time to smoke pot, party, have sex and all that the media is saying, WITH photos. But he's a great athlete that I'll give it to him.

I wanna live that lifestyle too. Sex, drugs, and Olympic gold medals.

Adoi...

strangely i am feeling much better today, except 1 thing.. I ate curry before swimming, the gas seems like exploding lolx

Back to gym tomorrow after a week of forced rest due to a bad virus.

Hoping to hit the cardio hard.

Are you clustering Lance Armstrong and Phelp together?

Yo, pedro.

Sad to hear you got infected by virus. That would explain why I haven't seen you in the gym forawhile.

Don't worry mate, will see you there for crazy long hour cardiovascular training session.

Work Day Gym Session 09/05/2009

I got into the gym today around 6:20 pm and got off the gym around 8:00pm.

Total time spent in the gym = 1 hour 40 mins.

My workout routine is as follows:

45 mins on the treadmill, speed @ 8.0kmph and gradient = 0.0%
5 mins on the treadmill, speed @ 6.0kmph and gradient = 0.0%
5 mins on the treadmill, speed @ 6.6kmph and gradient = 0.0%
5 mins on the treadmill, speed @ 8.0kmph and gradient = 0.0%
5 mins on the treadmill, speed @ 5.6 to 7.2kmph and gradient = 0.0% (Cool down)

Punishment for not hitting the gym yesterday
5 mins on the treadmill, speed @ 6.0kmph and gradient = 0.0%
5 mins on the treadmill, speed @ 6.6kmph and gradient = 0.0%
4 mins on the treadmill, speed @ 8.0kmph and gradient = 0.0%
1 mins on the treadmill, speed @ 10.0kmph and gradient = 0.0%
5 mins on the treadmill, speed @ 6.4 to 7.2kmph and gradient = 0.0% (Cool down)

Total distance covered = 10.25km

* Slightly better performance as I managed to cover 10km within 1 hour and 20 mins

Funny feeling though, I actually feel fat after jogging for an hour and 25 mins.

Also, I am having the itch to do weights training.

Another 19 days to go for Standard Chartered Marathon 2009.
