Why I Do It...

A couple of weeks back, I hit a plateau on strength gains and body fat levels. I guess it's just normal as I've been training with the OVT program. So I took the liberty to change it and adapt into a new HST program. My plan would be to cycle the HST and OVT one after another. For a complete period of 10 weeks each. Hopefully that'll be able to break my plateau and I start gaining lean muscle.

I also took the liberty to really watch what I eat lately. Cutting out on saturated fats, alcohol and soda. Just had a couple of beers last night after a long while but they'll be accounted for through my weekly caloric expenditure. And once again, NO, I don't diet! I just watch what I put into my mouth. I still believe in the fact that we are what we eat. Eat shit, you'll be shit. Another thing that motivates me to eat well is the fact that there are plenty of people around me dying of high blood pressure, stroke, diabetes and all obesity related diseases. I just don't think I wanna pass on that way... A little early to think about it. But most of this diseases don't just develop on the spot right away. They're the product of the early years of life and they take years of being dormant before they show up at your doorsteps uninvited.

Anyway, been down with fever and flu for two days. Kinda affected my training but it should be catching up soon. After reviewing my work, I've got quite a lot of deadlines to complete. The few major ones would be the upcoming gig in Labuan followed by emceeing Mr. Novice Miri (do check it out!) a day later. Followed by my assignments and first final term paper on the 26th. Got lots to juggle. Not forgetting training, magic, and lab reports to submit in between. Somehow I'll pull through (as usual).

Till then...
