*Nods... I know.. not much this week. Been really sick. Some kinda virus. Even doctor have no idea what it is. LOL
So I had to eat and load carbs so my body can have enough energy to repair. Mmhmm. I take after my own adivce on this one and it is non-negotiable.
Still on target... lets hope the virus runs its course by midweek so I can put in some training time. Pfft.

Training Week 2
Week 2 (14Mar - 20Mar)
Start weight: 110kg
Target weight: 105kg
Diet: Modified Aktins + lots of water.
Exercise routine: Running, stair climbing, isometric weights, A LOT OF STRETCHING.
(The post regarding the original training is found here My Life: Start of training Week 1 )
I noticed something about my new found fats. I don't carry them well. Which is good. heh. They won't be around long enough for me to get used to them. However, the stress of my joints are very telling and in the course of this few training weeks, I will be putting my body to the test, carrying around such a heavy load.
Nah.. by week 5, most of the heavy load would be gone.. howver, I still need to have conditioned legs and hands to do what I want to. What better time than stairs climbing now *GRIN
If anyone ever wondered how a fat guy like me can move reasonably fast, that because I spend half my lifetime carrying around my body weight. And now that my weight has been greatly reduced, imagine how much faster I can move.. hmm? Or kick even.
But enough of that for an early morning post... I do have one very important caution for those following this plan of mine now....
STOP if you are feeling unwell. EAT carbs or regular food until you get better. You can always reset the training program once you are feeling well again. Nothing is worth losing your health or your life over.
Till my next mundane update,
Stay healthy,

Update on training week 1
A Recap:
Week 1 (7Mar - 13Mar)
Start weight: 115kg
Target weight: 112kg
Diet: Semi Carb to Aktins + lots of water.
Exercise routine: Running, weights, A LOT OF STRETCHING.
Current status: 110kg.
Heh..yeah you got it right, 12 Mar, the day before my training week 1 ends, thats my current weight.
It has been tough, no doubts about that. Tiredness. Late night food cravings. I don't want to make this seem easy or a fairy tale training program. But I didn't starve, I didn't hate my diet, I didn't hate my exercise. Just did everything as planned, normally. But one difference.
I KNOW I CAN DO IT.
YOU CAN DO IT TOO.
Tell yourself its one day at a time, and its a change of lifestyle that does it. Not just a diet. Not just a program.
Send me an email at swell_head@hotmail.com and update me your progress if you are joining me on this journey to fitness. It is easy doing this as a team :)
Well, I will post at the beginning of my week 2 and lets work towards that. I am generalising everything I post here so I don't mislead anyone. If you need help to fine tune your program, email me. IF you have my number, call me. *wink
Till the next post.

Start of training Week 1
Very tiring.... thats all I can say.
Every part of my body needs to be reminded to work.. and has to work a part of a team. Basically for the past 4 months, I have been reduced to just running and left hand work. Right wrist having been misaligned... sigh.
I realised how ineffecive we can be after an injury because we depend too much our body being injury free. I also realised after all these months, I have been training with injuries. I ALSO realised I have an OCD.
OCD being Obessive Compulsive Disorder. I love playing online games. CabalSEA, Dungeons & Dragons Online, Secondlife, etc etc. I get totally immersed in these games and I forget to train, I forget to eat, I forget to sleep. I forget about friends. I forget about everything except I need to log in and game.
First step to getting help is recognising you have OCD. It is a scary and real problem. I am saying it now because I admit I have a problem, and I need help. My help is inclusive of reaching out to my family and my friends, and my training.
I guess I am lucky because I still have everything around me. Remember the case where the real life baby died while the Korean couple were too engrossed in their online baby? So sad :( ...........
So now I cancelled my accounts. That stopped me a few times from falling off the wagon because I admit, 1 hour after I decided to quit, I was frantically logging on again just to "make sure" everything was alright... sure. Pfft. OCD!!!!!
Now, I cannot log on. No more accounts, cannot play. I am going back to training, and hopefully things get back on track.
But I digress. Going back to training is easy, getting back to the level of competency I want is tougher, hoping to maintain it at that level and beyond is even tougher.
I am happy Seow and Thong has been asking me back for training. I will, soon enough, but not when I am not ready. There are a couple of things going on in my life right now that has a higher priority than karate training or even personal fitness. As if dealing with my OCD is not bad enough... lol
Those who know me, knows my extreme dislike for politics in martial arts. I just want to train because I enjoy fighting, gym, discussing philosophies, or just argue for the sake of arguing lol.
So now I begin my training afresh... I will be updating my blogs more often. I have lots of observation I made during haitus(spelling??) and am going to discuss them here.
Oh this morning I just went SKA and gave my right wrist a good workout... it is working again... FINALLY... yay!! I also peeked at my weight... *HOLY CR.... too much food, no exercise.. aiyah my body is like that de lar....
Now.. to get rid of my fats. I will post my weekly progress, pictures, diet and training plans. Feel free to follow along if you want and see if you can help me lose weight. :) The more people, the greater the support, the higher likeliness we will succeed together :)
Program Duration (8 weeks, 7Mar - 1May)
Target weight 88kg
Diet type: Modified Aktins

Disclaimer: Works for me. Might not work for you. Also my training programs are suited generally for my body built (I know myself best). If you need advice, ask me or Pam. BUT don't blame us if it doesn't work for you. *GRIN
WARNING: Always check with your doctor before embarking on any hare-brained idea of weight loss like mine, which I, myself would think is incredibly stupid, impossible and dangerous.
