Hand Injury

-
It's been a month since my last workout and I feel very sluggish and out of shape. I've been doing cardio but not as often and as intense as I should be doing. Last October 21, during a basketball game, I injured my right 4th metacarpal shaft. It's a complete fracture meaning the bone is not just dislocated but it's broken and disjoined. I was depressed when I got the x-ray results 25 days after the incident. It showed minimal callous formation and an operation is needed. But my Ortho Surgeon gave me and my bone another two weeks to heal after which, if my bone and I fail, I would have to undergo an operation. And since I have a heart condition, a general anaesthesia is needed before the operation. Several local anesthesia might do harm to my heart.

Two weeks is all I've got! Well I'm ready for anything, operation or not I just want my arm back in full capacity so I can get back to my workouts next year!

Beer, can I ever say goodbye to you?

So Here I am at my office, very excited to start weight lifting again tomorrow. I will be working rather late tonight, get a very good sleep, I am hoping I can sleep up to eight hours, and then kick off the day with a prayer of thanksgiving. I am just upbeat now that I want to go home and start working out. I feel like a child in a playground. Well, actually, this blog is not about my exercises, I am just so hooked to it that I can get back to working out in a snap like I haven't been away. This is about my love, my addiction, my craving, my thirst for a liquid called BEER... My day began with nothing unusual happening. A couple of texts, favorite hot coffee, and an Eagles concert playing in my entertainment center. Nothing out of the extraordinary, dull life huh? Then around noon, a very close confidant talked to me about my beer binges. Appalling as this my sound, but it has taken over my life. Since April, I've really been drinking a lot. I don't want to accept the fact

Beer and Rice

I’ve been thinking about this post for quite a long time now and I feel it would help me a lot with my problem if I see this blog quite often enough. It is very hard for me to do away with starchy white rice. For us, it’s a way of life. It’s like the meal, however the food tastes, is not fulfilling without it. But for the last couple of months I’ve learn to cut down on rice and it resulted to a considerable weight loss. I don’t crave for it as much as I did. I find other substitute for my tongue, usually, green leafy vegetables and green tomatoes do the job. I don’t usually go to parties because surely with the adobos, lechon (roasted pig), I will be tempted to pig out on rice. I only eat rice like four times a week only. On rice, I think I won the battle. But another thing just wont go away. An ice cold beer… Eleven months into my transformation, I’ve lose a total of 60 lbs! But in that same time frame, I’ve been drinking beer a lot, twice a week with my fraternity brothers. A sin
