Tomorrow will mark my 16th week since I’ve religiously started going to the gym again. I’m quite happy with the progress I’ve made so far though I think it could have been better. On the contrary, I don’t really need to rush it through. It’s not like I’m an actor who needs to shape up quick for a movie dateline or something. Why torture myself unnecessarily? Slow and steady wins the day!
To elaborate on progress, I’m visibly leaner and have gained some good amount of muscle. My tummy is perfectly flat again (although that 6-pack still eludes me!). Though weight isn’t my primary concern, just for the record I started at 80 kilos and I now weigh 77.5 kilos. My clothes fit a lot better as I’ve gone down one, maybe two waist sizes.
My diet consists mainly of egg whites, wholemeal bread, milk, yoghurt, cheese slices, tuna, ham and green leafy veggies. I have cut down on sugary drinks almost completely and try to stick to drinking plain water most of the time. I still enjoy my favourite food (Nasi Lemak!!!) on weekends!
Supplements that I take:
- Whey Protein Powder - Strength and recovery
- Creatine Monohydrate Powder - Muscle strength and endurance
- Nutrex Lipo6 - Thermogenic, gives energy and increases metabolism
- Glucosamine - For joint recovery
- Fish Oil - For joint and overall health and well being
- Multi-vitamins - Overall health and well being
The greatest challenge remains getting at least 8 hours of sleep every night! I work at pretty odd hours so it’s hard to keep a proper sleep schedule.
