OMG....

I'm gaining weight...
a lot of weight... I weighted myself today and I was at 197...
I had burritos couple of times last week... Maybe that's what it is?
or... maybe I'm taking too much protein shakes??

So, I've been to the gym everyday since I had signed up again.
Chest -> Back -> Arms -> Legs -> Chest
I need to hit my shoulders and add more cardio to my routine...
New sauna suit came yesterday so much nicer than the $10 one I purchased from the Dick's
so if I keep on exercising with the new suit on... maybe I'll be able to drop some more FAT

I can feel I'm getting bigger or maybe I want to think I am...
can't really tell much difference from the photos...
I need to hit my tummy more also...

Next week - more shoulders/more cardio/and more abs!!

24 hr fitness

I signed up for 24hr fitness again...

it's my 4th time signing up after cancelling each time. But, this time I'm serious! 

Well, I was serious past times as well, but I will be pushing myself a little more now.

I walked into the gym and was very intimidated by those huge guys that were lifting heavy 'big boy' weights.

especially when I was working on my arms... since I can't do so much weight for my size. 

but who cares. I'm doing my weight without cheating 'bouncing my body'... I didn't know before, but I started to notice all these little things people are doing and I know that's not the best way to do things.

But at the same time, I'm learning new ways to do things too. pretty neat.

I have more choices on weights and more machines to use. 

It's been awhile since my body felt sore after working out. 

and I don't have to workout for 1.5hr or more anymore. I don't have to spend much time changing out the weights and moving things around to do things. I can just focus 45 mins on hitting the spot and leave. 

well

Let's see how I keep up with this!

SO COLD!!!

It's been very cold here in Dallas...
and the garage is not the best place to exercise at...
I do have a sweat suit I can put on to keep me warm,
but I get tired too quickly with it so I try not to use it as much.
Well... body temperature drops very quickly when I stop moving around
So I lose my focus....

Maybe it's time for me to start watch what I eat...
I've been eating whatever I wanted to and thought it will be fine because I am exercising regularly
but! my weight is not dropping and... i'm not getting any definition on my body.
I feel like I am getting bigger... I tell myself 'I'm on bulking phase' but I do want to see some changes.

there's only so much I can do at home gym... with limited equipments I have
hmmmm maybe I should get a gym membership... maybe...
I don't like working out with lots of people around me... I get very shy...
I won't be able to hit as much weight... too many bigger and stronger people
WHO CARES! they were small, too at one point! hahaha

Also, I need to change up my workout routines... I think I'm hitting plateau...
and perhaps a workout partner... Justin Matos... hahaha
you need to come up here and help me bro... I know you'll read this sometime...
forget about Cali and come to Big D. hahaha

Today was my arm day...
so here goes the in progress photo...

and one day... 

craving...

Dang it.

I hate this cravings I get... omg
haha
I love wings! oh my... those hot wings!
well....

I just gotta run a little more...

and this cold weather is not helping... BOOOOO

New Year

Happy New Year!!

it's year 2011... and I just turned 24
oh my how time flies...
It's been almost 6 months since I started to exercise and tried to get in better shape of my life.
I started at 235 lbs.... and now I'm down to 187lbs with 13% body fat
size 36 pants were too tight but now size 33 is lose.

there was time when I hated looking at myself in the mirror after taking a shower cuz I felt so ashamed of myself

there's one thing I really want to do this year...
that is to goto the beach and take off my shirt without feeling ashamed.
I don't remember the last time I went to the beach or swimming pool and felt comfortable taking off my shirt.
I mean, no one really care how I look, but I did...

anyhow. it feels good to be healthy!

right now, the hardest thing is to keep being motivated.
I love eating and I love food toooo much... wish I was one of those people who never gain any weight.
I gain weight just by drinking water... and everything goes to my butt...

Happy new year! and let's have a healthy and strong year!!!
