Oplan Bawas Timbang


I was watching Franklin & Bash yesterday and I was struck by the line by Peter Bash "this is my temple" while pointing at his physique.

This year I became lackadaisical with my health and physique and as expected I gained 10 pounds of fat and not so good cholesterol level.

It's very hard to avoid fried food and meat because I rarely eat vegetables.


Last week, inulanan ako ng pangungutya when a friend uploaded some old pictures in FB (2 year old pictures).


Back then, small size pa ang shirt ko and I buy clothes sa teen section.

Ngayon medium size na ako, di na makabili sa teen section ng mall at kahugis ko na daw ang fez nito..


Ang lapad na daw ng fez ko at di na ako kahalihalina katulad ng dati.

I know I need to improve my diet and be more consistent with my exercise regimen.

Seeing those pictures and hearing those comments strengthened my resolve to eat right and to be vigilant with my exercise.

Last Monday I weigh 153 lb.

I'm 5'7 and the ideal weight for my height is 145 lb (though my BMI is still within normal limit). 

5 days ago I started my new eating habit and cardio exercise and I'm quite happy with the results. My goal for this week is to burn 1000 calories. I know this is minuscule, I don't wanna strain myself too much.

I achieved this weeks goal, tumakbo ako ng approximately 8 miles (2 miles a day) and nakapag burn ako ng 1106 calories.  Nabawasan din ang weight ko ng 3 lb.

Next week goal is to burn 1500 calories, to run 10 miles and to include weight training - thank heavens my multi gym kami sa work, gyms are too expensive for me.

Guys suggest naman kayo ng weight training regimen. Below is a picture of our multi-gym;


Nagpapasalamat na ako ng advance sa mga tutulong =>  ibibigay ko ang aking puri sa mga tutulong sa akin na ma achieve ang ideal weight ko. CHAR!

For home exercise naman, saan kaya ako pwedeng makabili ng equipmernts ng gaya ng nasa video...




Award di ba? I like the shaker thing, nakaka... =>

  1. Been there done that.

    The key here is confidence and self-esteem. And all else will follow.

    Continue your work out. Have a binge so you still enjoy things.

    -EJ pa rin ito. Haha!

    (currently writing my second post. hehe)

  3. Hi there!

    Well at least tinanggap mo ng maganda yung nakakalokang nilang comments. So go, exercise your ass off and get that ideal built that you once had/always wanted.

    You know your caloric intake and stuff, so gora lang, teh.

    I suggest super sumali ka sa mga fun runs. Tipong every week. Mayayanig ang adipose tissues mo nyan. Hahaha!

    See ya.

  5. Mas matutulungan sana kita kung free weights yang gamit mo. Pero just the same, gawin mo 10 reps 5 sets 1 minute rest per set ang workout mo para may regimen ka. 4 exercises 3x a week. Yun. :)

    Sana makatulong at goodluck!

  6. Hi Manila, Anyare! ma ulan kaya di ako maka run outdoors. I used to run from my SM MoA to CCP everyday pero magmula nung umulan, tinamad na ako gumising ng maaga. I started running again last Monday, buti na lang may treadmill sa work.

    Hi Sean! katuwa di ba? go go go lang tayo sa ating goal at hopefully ma achieve natin before the year ends.

    Hi Mugen! thank you so much, I used do 10 reps for 3 sets and a minute of rest period every set. 1 plate ang increase every set. I'll try your suggestion for a month. thank you again
