Fortune Cookies

I collect most of the fortunes from the fortune cookies...
Although, I lost a lot while moving back from Cali.

I was looking at some of them today and found one saying

"To Exercise the body is to purify the soul"

So true!!!
Since, I've been getting healthier, lighter, and stronger everything started to feel very positive...
No more depressed days... No more lazy days...
I see myself becoming more one with mind and body. I can control my physical desires...
I just want to do more things for others... it's so interesting
maybe because my self esteem had gone up a little?? I don't feel ashamed of myself anymore?
Whatever it maybe, I have clear thoughts about life...

It's weird talking about soul and spirits on here...
well, that's who I am...

When one is exercising, doesn't matter what kind of sports or activity it may be, all the side thoughts
vanishes and he/she is very focused on it and become one with mind and body.
Well, at least for me. It helps me to lose unnecessary thoughts and clears my head.

oh no...

Didn't think I can go 3 days without lifting any.... but I did...
Saturday, Sunday, and Monday...
and I feel very weak! but... I had a good night of sleep yesterday.
well, I should go do some right now.

Scoliosis...?

I don't have the best posture in the world... but I try to sit up straight and sleep straight...
but the problem is that I carry my camera bag on my right shoulder... 
and the bag usually weighs about 15+ lbs...
I've been using same bag and heavier weight for about 4 years now... 
80% of the time on my right shoulder...
and as you can see my body is tilted down a little bit towards the right side...


it bothers me so much... and it's so uncomfortable 
all of my clothes don't fit right because of this... and my chest is very uneven... 
and I found out it's call "Scoliosis" which is a medical condition in which a person's spine is curved from side to side. (wiki) 
It seems that to fix the problem, I'll have to wear a bulky back braces to hold my back straight...
or I could probably goto a chiropractor and get it fixed. 
or... I could start wearing the bag on left shoulder for another 3 years maybe it will even out??


haha anyhow.


the work out has been going good so far. I see the progress little by little... and since the Day 1 of exercise, I've changed quite a bit. 
I'm not satisfied, so I won't stop anytime soon... and I probably won't be satisfied with my body...
proportional wise.. haha Big head, short arms, and short legs... the worst combo I have...
But, I don't mind it at all!! 
I'm getting more confidence in myself...
I'm still very afraid of gaining weight again....... 

One Month has passed....

 

So... it's been a month since I've posted an entry. 

I've been trying to bulk up a little more... focus on high protein diet and been eating extra fattening food as well to add some size. Well... because it's really hard to keep running and focus on cardio on this weather and feel like since the winter is coming I'll just focus on the size for now. Once I get the size I want, probably won't get there anytime soon, I'll start cutting down the fat.

As of today, I weigh 192 lbs and have 15% body fat. 

I am not wearing arm sleeve... haha 

I was working last Saturday taking photos of little kids out in the sun for 10 hours and I've gotten a beautiful farmer's tan!! and I'm rocking it!!
