It’s been about 2 months since I graduated from the University & now I’m seeking a job. During this time I was sending my C.V. to many companies that has a relation to IT fields.  I met with some IT managers for interviews. Some of these interviews were like a normal conversation and some were very professional. For the latter, I think they even need some courses to manage to conduct these interviews successfully. I even tried to answer these questions at home but still can’t get a good answer. It is really a headache. Anyway, I got a good job so far. All what I need is to sign the contract with them and go ahead with them and improve myself.

During these 2 months, till now, at last I managed to hit the gym and started working out very hard.

in the 1st month while I was exercising my forearms I got my neck hurt "it suddenly got very strained to such a degree that I couldn’t breath for seconds", and that lasted for 2 weeks till I felt my neck was OK.

Keeping the short-term along with the long-term goals in mind will make people who are in fitness more focused.  It helps in keeping track your progress by comparing your current results and accomplishments with your desired goals.  Short-term goals will motivate you to work as hard as possible and so does the long-term goals.

So here I’ll mention my long-term goals.  Regarding the short-term ones, they can be seen from my BodySpace profile.

My Long-term goals would be like the following:

I wish you all reaching your goals successfully!!!

So, last 2 days were warm-up workouts of type circuit training as follow:

Sets: 3
Duration: 30 min each
Also, they were followed by a 10 min of Cardio Training
Status: Currently, I’m a little tired……To be continued next time!!

Last day of working out was on: Thursday Nov 8, 2007

Today is: Thursday Dec 6, 2007

Total weeks of this Hiatus: 4 weeks, about 1 month

Reasons:

1. got one of my relatives dead in a painful incident.
2. my grandfather got a brain stroke.
3. don’t have a car to go to the gym.

Alternative: I have some simple weight training tools, barbels & dumbbells, at home.  So, I’ll try to adhere to some simple workouts.  Circuit training would be great for the time being with the current situation.

Being busy at work and my academic study, that what has let me not to write my weekly blogs at all since I was admitted to work as a Co-Op trainee (this is part of my academic study).  So, I have to write my work reports and submit them to my professor.

Anyway, the most important thing is that I’m still able to pursue my daily workouts.  So, working out is so far so good. Progress is so great:

• It’s been about 5 months since I started this program.
• Weight progress : http://bodyspace.bodybuilding.com/Fitness_Lover/more.php?section=progress#weight
• Fat% progress : http://bodyspace.bodybuilding.com/Fitness_Lover/more.php?section=progress#bodyfat
• Rest break taken during this period:
• 2 weeks, Oct 6-19
• 1 week, Nov 10-16 (current week)

Thanks for reading my BodyBlog…

Due to my college examinations, I couldn’t log in to my BodySpace (I really miss my friends on the BodySpace (KatNap, Jelita, mmerwin, Rocio, Alicia, DawnMelanie)) and I had to stop working out for 2 months. consequently, my BF% has increased a little bit and my body has been screwed up. So now, I need to fix what the 2 months break did.

If you are curious about my examination results then I did very well, and grades were above the expected. Actually, if I haven’t stayed away of working out for those 2 months I wouldn’t have got what I got. So, great job from this aspect.

Regarding working out, those 2 months really screwed up my body and my BF% has increased, and now I need to begin a fat-losing stage to decrease that fat, so I’m intending to get my body shredded and ripped and that is intended to be done during the coming 7 months starting from the next week, hopefully.

My workout will be the same as the previous workouts but I’ll try to perform some types of Cardio training after the workout is done, also some types of stretching. So, to see my full workout please refer to following BodyBlog:

My Plan for the Coming Weeks

Regarding workouts distribution, the following table will show you how workouts are distributed on days:

On the free days, I’m thinking of doing some Cardio and Abs exercises. I’ll see what will I do on theses free days during the coming days
So, just wish me the best of luck.

It has been a month since I posted my last blog "Back to College".  During this month I made a little change to my workout plan.  I swapped (Wed workout) with (Sat workout).  So, it seems as the following:

The reason for swapping them is to take my time to do Leg-Stretching after Leg workout, since I’m free on that day.

Now, here was the dilemma.  Keep working out according to my plan and focusing on the academic studies.  So, during that month, all what I could perform was 2 weeks training according to my plan and then only working out once a week with a full-body routine, off my plan, just to keep my body active.  The reason for that was the college.  I was having major EXAMS, home works needed to be submitted, projects, meetings till 12:00 am “Oh my God” ….  and still, more duties are coming.

Any suggestion!!!

Well, college is back and I’m thinking in changing my plan. The following is my college schedual:

Mon: 9:00am - 5:00 pm
Tues: 2:00 pm - 5:00 pm
Wed: 9:00am - 5:00 pm
Thur: Free
Fri: 9:00 am - 2:00 pm
Sat: Free
Sun: Free

I tried to adhere to my training plan but it is really difficult to do so. College really demands a lot of time to be dedicated for studying. Also, the time I take to reach my home is at least half an hour, and to reach the gym and get back is at least an hour.

What I'’m thinking of is to make a new training plan. So, I decided to begin working out right after 5:00 pm when classes are finished. So, I’ll try to adhere to the following:

About the Sunday workout, this day has been also fantastic I felt my shoulders were like a bump (See the workout plan below)

Sunday: Shoulders & Traps & Forearms & Lower Abs
