To those who are wondering what I look like… well… I mostly look like the last picture on here. I permed my hair a few weeks after I stopped watching what I eat. I must say, I’m stronger now. I love myself, but there’s just one slight thing I need to change: the way I work out.

From what I noticed last year, watching what I ate made a whole lot of difference than the times when I ate whatever I wanted. Maybe that’s why I’ve gained 5 pounds of muscle and fat this past 5 months. Today I ate a lot. Mainly chicken and rice and oreos plus milk and water. But that was about 2000 calories in total, which I was supposed to consume, especially for a person who runs at least 3 miles for 5 days.
Sunday: I am fasting. It’s all about water and hoping God will cleanse me spiritually. :)
Monday: I have to eat breakfast. Because breakfast gets your body ready for the crap Highschool will fling at you. Then I won’t eat until 5th period, in which I will munch on a banana and drink a full bottle of water. The goal here is to keep my stomach small, so that I won’t have to be hungry that much. Intervals are hellish though, so I might eat more than a banana for lunch.
Tuesday: Recovery run, probably Vista Del Val, so hillz. :( Same thing as monday, but I’ll have to eat less than 1000 calories.
Wednesday: A bit easier run, maybe a long run. <1000
Thursday: Track meet: Palisades and San Pedro, so a fosho’ loss already.. :( oh wells, preseason.
Friday: depends on how horrible I did on Thursday. If it was extremely horrible, I would do my ladder intervals after the given workout. If I break my PR next week, then I would do less of an interval. Either way, intervals will be on this day. I will only eat an orange and then collapse on my bed.
Saturday: <1000 lots of water and work on homework
Sunday: fast again :)
After about a year now… I’ve come back to this blog, hoping I’ll be able to contain some motivation to lose weight and keep it that way. I’ll even maybe make this a personal blog.
So here’s what has been going on after about a year:
I started worrying about my weight on February 17, 2011. I started working out during the February month and was currently at 100 pounds. Then school started, but I managed to keep that 100 pounds until about April-May, when I decided to stop losing weight because it will not benefit me.
I joined two teams that summer, the tennis team and the academic decathlon team. I stayed with tennis, not even having the mindset that I needed to lose weight. In return, I gained 5 pounds, I don’t know if it’s muscle or fat but my weight became 105.
I didn’t care what my weight was, because I was happy, eating whatever I wanted and knowing I didn’t gain that much weight. I stayed active. I stayed “fit”.
But why? why would I come back to this blog? Well, I just had my first pre-season track meet. I was a long distance runner and was forced to run the 1600 and 3200, which required stamina and brains. I finished 2nd to the last on the 1600 and on the 3200, I finished last, making me the slowest on the team. :(
I figured if I lost weight, I will get a faster time and beat my PR. Let us see how this will go, shall we? I missed this blog too much and I’m very much excited as to what to post now :)
I know I make them proud now, but I want to continue to live a goal-driven life, and to be someone that could contribute as much as you have to society.
