Rant
------

Tomorrow's THE day and I'm nervous. Because I'm afraid I may get disappointed. Everyone knows that I started the journey with tomorrow as my finish line.

I haven't check my weight n bfc for 3 weeks now and I have certain expectations on what I should be seeing. Doc says that it's safe to lose 5% of bodyfat in a month - not more than that, so I'm expecting to see at least 2kg body fat decrease on the scale. But what if I dont?

Mirrors dont lie, right?

Food. Hm.

I remember putting a slice of SecretRecipe's baked cheese cake in my gym locker and indulged on it after I had my workout in October 2006. Heehee. Now I'm proud to say that my last McDonalds was 3 and a half weeks ago, my last KFC was in November and that cheese cake was my last SR cake ever since.

Fat loss aside, I'm very happy to hv gained some mean FFM, strength, endurance & stamina from my workouts. I feel like a champion whenever I finish my 30 mins cardio, when 3 months ago I couldnt even last more than 2 minutes @ 7.5km/h.

Thinking of running a race next year. I wonder how fast I can finish a 7km race.

Commentaries
-The tshirt was fitted last time. Jeans was ngam ngam ho. Now both very loose dy biggrin.gif
- Face is still round. But I know the double chin will be the last one to go so I'm fine with it smile.gif
- Check out my arms brows.gif

Arm before (last week) and after (today)

user posted image user posted image

last week biceps barely visible hor. triceps still got lots of fat

today got teeny tiny biceps, triceps less fat rclxm9.gif
Personal Reflections

Things that are different now :

- my tummy has shrunk drastically
- my quads are getting uglier (more muscular) but I'm lovin it!
- i can squat, deadlift, bench (eventho not so heavy yet)
- i can run, i used to not be able to last time
- i can ALMOST do a full pushup. watch out boys tongue.gif
- bf% decreased by a teeny tiny amount. i dont think i care about it as long as i look better in the mirror
- oo biceps *poke* *poke*


Things I regretted :

- falling off the bandwagon early October - early December 2006 (hiatus from gym)
- not tackling the insulin resistance problem earlier
- didnt take any proper 'before' pics
- super proper diet only started barely 3 weeks ago
- I was fatter earlier this month compared to September when I first started the journal

Things I'm happy about :
- loose jeans (new clothes after this? aiyo no money dy. bought whey + supplements)
- fitness gadgets (scale, watch, ipod)
- girl muscles brows.gif
- doing things that I thought I'd never be able to do in my whole lifetime - doing full bridge, run more than 10 minutes, pushups on knees, proper situps
- BETTER FOOD! and I get to eat 6x a day brows.gif
Best thing that happened so far:

- BF looked at me and said, "dear, you almost look like the girl i fell in love with 8 years ago"  blush.gif . when I first knew him 8 years ago i was @ 50kg. Ballooned after couple for 2 years. He always call me 'tembam' but hv never intended/threatened to leave me because of it.

walao i feel so touching ... cry.gif
