My Health Issues

It's been 6 months since my last post so pardon me if I come off a bit rusty and out of tune. I just fell off the horse, metaphorically, of course. I haven't had the time to do my workouts lately and unfortunately I've been drinking almost everyday and eating very unhealthy. I just endured the toughest 2 months of my life and most probably the most daunting ordeal a man can experience. Dealing with a failed marriage is just disheartening and takes a lot out of a determined bodybuilder, and I am not even one, so that makes it even harder. Well don't expect me to go into details regarding my marriage circus, this is actually a health blog not a counseling blog hehehe. I am slowly gaining my confidence and passion for exercising and living healthy. In fact, I will be back to lifting damn irons starting next week! Getting back to riding the horse again... I still have the nagging pain on my right shoulder after every basketball game or if I exert too much effort on it. I k...

Hey! I'm back and so is my tummy! LOL! (for those not so internet savvy, LOL means Laughing Out Loud, oh why not just type hehehe? would have conveyed same message, right? whatever!) I am done with my bulking phase and I must say I gained a bit of muscle and a lot of fat around the waist. I've been eating a lot and sad to say been drinking a lot too! But for whatever reason the scales says I only gain around 5 lbs, so that puts me around 155ish. I would love to continue gaining some muscle but the gut on my waist is just too disgusting to look at and I really want to see my abs so I decided to alter my plans. I will be doing cardio seriously and cut my calorie intake for two weeks in hopes of getting rid of the fat. I will be taking BCAAs to hold on the minuscule muscle I gained so far. From then I will be bulking again but this time do it with clean diet and no alcohol consumption. My sister sent the supplements I ordered and so far they're quite good and looks promising...

Happy New Year!!! 2007 was a great year for me, I was able to shed 60 lbs of fat and say goodbye to that poisonous cigarette. With that achievement, year 2008 poses a more serious challenge in the sense that I have to make strides to somehow outdo or just even be at par with my accomplishments for the past year. This year of the Rat started quite good for me as I am back with my workouts using loads same as that of which I used to workout with prior to my hand injury last October, and I am slowly but surely pumping heavier loads as I try to bulk up. I think I did fairly good in the last two weeks of December 2007. As expected, the last fortnight of the year came with food, booze and sleepless nights. It's a nightmare for someone treading on the threshold of loosing that poundage forever and gaining it back, and more. Countless studies show that 80 percent of people losing that excess baggage gain it back and then some, starting on the yuletide holidays. I am one of those who gain ...

A year ago, I eat what I felt I want to eat, drink a lot of beers four nights a week, and smoke till my throat bleed. During my rest days, I buried myself under heaps of pillows in front of my large-screen TV. DVD series are the usual target. The only time I get to stand was when I have to visit the comfort room or feel hungry, and hungry always I was! Roasted pig, fried chicken with skin on, roasted chicken liver, fried pork and everything that are so high in cholest erol plus sacks of rice are the usual meals awaiting me as I have my break. Immediately after eating as much as a thousand and more calo ries in one seating I go back to my room either to finish the movie or doze off. Exercise was pretty much taken out of my vocabulary. I was extremely obese, slouchy, slothful, and many other adjective you can think of to describe a young fat person. I don’t usually talk about this, but yes even my sex life was all gone. I’ve lost my energy and any exertion of force has become a great b...
