me, f, 1.68m, 60kg

Short term: 30th June
Carrot: Can see muscles definition without flexing much. (possible ah 21% bf?)
Stick: Flex also can'tseeshit.jpg AND have to wear long sleeve for 1 month in this hot weather.. T_T

Long term: Net Year CNY
Carrot:
1) Toned and fit body like fitness models.
2) <20% bf
3) look mighty fine first time wearing a cheongsam and can eat during house visiting without worrying the seam will burst.

stick:
1) look tubby in a cheongsam. even a black one.
2) can only eat like a bird when go house visiting.
3) my brothers calling me fat pig and it's because i rightly deserves it.

I know I'm not fat. BUT not toned enough. MUST lose the fats and pile on the muscles.




mine: 1406.5 x 1.2 = 1687.8...
goal: drop my bf from 23.5% to 21% & run for at least 5 mins nonstop @ 10km/h on the treadmill. Best I can do now is 1-2 minutes nia..
reward: tarak la.. kembang hidung only lor.


@pizzaboy: machine (bench press & incline bench press), is it a waste of time if i do both or should i just do one of it? on the same day i mean.

girl...

edit: nah, forget bout the gender. I'll just try what you suggest minus the pool of sweat and saliva. Thanks.

edit again: just noticed the pull ups, thought was push up just now. I got no strength in me arms for that.. T_T

what i conclude from reading around is that ppl use it to retain muscle mass?

me workout today following the recipe given by pizzaboy

- start with 20 reps of squats (still need to improve on this but by 20, can barely stand straight)
- machine incline bench press @ 30lbs x 3 sets x till i can't push (around 12 reps)
- another round of squats (still not perfect and i only manage to do 15 reps)
- didn't do the pull-ups though cos *gasp* no pull up bar.. or anything that i can use.
- replace pull-ups with wide-Grip Front Lat Pulldown & Underhand Cable Pulldowns @ 50lbs x 10 x 3
- 1 hr cardio of aerocombat/muay thai


me diet today:
0745: 1 glass goodday milk
0830: coffee + 2 yam puff (my whole wheat bun berkulat T_T)
1200: 2 small sweet potatoes, boiled chickin breast & veggies with mint tea
1600: forgive me for i has succumb to temptation

2000: 1 banana + lotsa water after gym
2030: 2 hardboiled eggs, some boiled chickin & veggies and 1 glass of goodday milk.

already had dinner...
instead of skipping dinner, i think i'm going to add 1 extra gym session for that sin..

ze banana is my post-workout meal. it took me roughly 1/2 hr to reach home and have a proper meal.

my gym punya boleh 0.5 increment too...
i usually set mine to km/h @ 5 inc for brisk walk around 5 mins then i'll alternate btwn running at 9km/h and slow down to a jog/brisk walk at 6km/h till i feel ligtheaded which is pretty fast (15-20mins).
sucky stamina.. need to work on that but i need to love running first.. T_T

bakchang!! it's bakchang season and i'm still thinking whether to pretend dunno about that OR eat and do extra gym session. huhu.. dilemma...
but i'm pretty sure i'll do the later..

last weighed is 60kg. forgotten to weigh myself today at the gym just now. i should after 2 free meals during the weekend. buffet on sat night and wedding lunch on sunday afternoon. and i ate more than the guys. both occasion.

gym session today:

diet:


and i made kimchi just now. my 2nd try.
1st try failed cos put too much chili powder. like eating chili powder so had to throw most of it away.

next project i wanna make kerabu anchovies. Syd G, you you got recipe for this?

^ somehow that sentence sounds so wrong..

ikan pusuk.. haha, haven't heard that for a long time.
yup, that's the one. no need goreng first the ikan pusuk?

hmm.. ok thanks..
i think maybe i'll toast them in the oven first..

i also like the version served as side dish in korean restaurant..

i see stars today after my workout session.. usually i just get jelly knees...
weigh myself and am 1kg lighter but then I'm sure it's water weight cos today a little bit diarrhea...

i'm craving junk food.. T_T

the idea of burning off the calories from the junk food actually cut off my cravings..

not related: my kimchi is a success..

still here la...

have not been sleeping well these few days.. tired even right after i woke up... T_T
characters from movies and tv series i watched are invading my dreams!!

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.

Been doing great so far. Upped my workout intensity and eat healthy most of the time.
Still suck at this calorie counting thingy so i don't know if my input is more or less than my output.
Weigh the same (i think, no scale la) but i hope my bf% level has decreased. please do... T_T
i'll only know end of this month!! arrggghhh!!!


erm, i've been doing doing cable pulldown (wide/close grip) for quite some time.
so i was checking out myself (flexing-flexing infront of mirror ) and i noticed my lats (or not?) is not balanced.
left side is more v than right side. i'm not even sure if the cable pulldown i've did is working cos i don't really checkout myself much before this.
but if it is, what do i do? focus more on the other side? how? cable pulldowns with 1 hand?

weigh myself at gym just now. as predicted, still same.

not satisfied with my performance today. punch and kick like a pansy and got tired fast!

it's Saturday and I'm heading off to gym now.
At least better than just rotting at home...watching anime..

so i took pics of my legs.. sorry la if can't see clearly, my phone cam no zoom function one..



sometimes i think my legs are ok ok size.. sometimes i think my calves is a lil too big..
how to make it smaller?

my thighs and calves still ache from saturday's workout..

hopefully will be better tomorrow.. *cross fingers*
