Workout

I am still struggling with sticking to my workout plan, it’s not that I don’t go to the gym, but it’s because I just go in the gym and do the workout I feel like doing.  As silly as it may sounds, but I picked those workout to do because biceps, triceps and abs are only things that get attention right away.  I need to recognize that muscles need rest to growth, over-training is not a right decision and it could do more harm then good.  Goal achievable for this week is to stick to the workout plan by January 12.

Life

Today was my best friend’s birthday, he turned 31 and I dropped by for a visit and have dinner with him and his family.  Because it has been awhile since my last visit, I shocked almost everyone who know me and that basically the whole Chinese family.  I gathered some food to eat, and as you might have guess my interview started, "You look good, what do you eat", "How much do you eat", "Did you starve yourself", and the famous question "How much weight did you lost."  and "How long did it take you to get to that weight", "I want to do everything you do to lose weight".  I also get advices such as "You look death, you look so pale, you should start eating more.", "I don’t want to take vitamins, I want to get it from the food I eat.", "You don’t need to lose any more weight.", "Don’t look big, it’s ugly.", "I don’t think you loose weight right"
I am beginning to feel not guilty to lie to answer these questions, because I am starting to feel that people only hear what they want to hear, they want to see the result without willing to understand how much effort I have to put in.  Maybe, I should tell them I have gastric bypass, so that they would leave me along, because Cardio exercise and eating right are words that no one wants to hear.

Drive

Working out is the time I have for myself.  I love myself, I love the body that I was given and I am going take care of it, invest in it, because I know this investment would serve me tremendously well in the now, and in the future.  Just two and 1/2 hours per day, I have more confidence in myself Now then ever.  Just two and 1/2 hours a day, I feel fit, I feel more energize, I feel good, I am attractive, I am loved.  Two and 1/2 hour a day, I WILL GET THE BODY THAT I DESERVE.
