Last Follow-up (1/12/2011)

Hi,

Now m already back in my hometown in Kuching...The transition with this healthy lifestyle is a bit hard but again maybe time is what i need..

I can't believe that my journey with Kristy  already ending... i still got lots to learn but again it was meant to be this way...4 yrs in Auckland i only know her my last year,..It's been a very wonderful experience... Overall, i lose 10% of body fat with her since 30/6 to 1/12/2011..about 5 months... I will be internally grateful for the knowledge and experience that she shared with me.. i still deeply interested in this field but again i can't figure it out yet what to be... but i vow that one day i will give back.. i think the only problem that fat ppl have is dat most of the time they are lack of knowledge of what to do... i hope that i will stay strong enough in msia with 1001 food temptation and also laziness due to comfort of home...finger cross...

Forth Follow-up (17/11/2011)

It is my second last follow-up...How time flies so fast...it's only two weeks left before i go back for good... I lose 2 more kg which is quite surprising with my hectic examination schedule this month..but again, juggling is something that i am quite good with but most of the time I just too lazy to do so... and also due to exams i love to  go to the gym daily so that i can sleep easily at night... i got insomnia sometimes when i am not that prepared with my exams... when i exercise, i calm down, tired and sleep well..This is a technique that i used for quite a long time,.. running is not really my thing but i run a day before exam since my first year in university to help me sleep...

My this journey is nearly coming to the end... but like studying, healthy lifestyle will never come to an end... going back to Malaysia is quite tough an scary as it is called  the food paradise.. I hope i will never gain back what i lose... this so-called hard work is too much to bear to be repeated once again.. i hope i will always remember that fact...

Sometimes, when the scale keep on going down, u keep on obsessing with losing weight and keep on going too far... or sometimes when the scales don't seem moving,  we stop..but after going through all this, i think the key is patience... being realistic, there are times we are tired, there are times our body can't take it any more and don't seem wanting to change... but all along the way, we need to always remind ourselves of why are we doing all this... what is healthy lifestyle??... is something damaging to ourselves like 4 hours of training per day or super low calories food, are they considered  healthy?... but again as human being, it is our nature to rush everything, lack of patience and with this modern life, we want everything to be fast fast and fast... but again we should aim for something that we can manage for the rest of our lives rather than the fast fast fast thing usually quite temporary fix...in term of medical perspective, it is good to lose excess weight but again as we all know, weight lose is merely more energy out than energy in....so more physical activities and less eating... but again  if it mean doing something unhealthy, isn't that contradict the purpose of wanting to be healthier...

Third Follow-up (14/10/2011)

Had my third follow-up last Friday..for safety and also to avoid frustration, a few days before the weigh in, i already warn Kristy not to be hopeful and i just can pray i don't gain weight...but it turn out i did lose 1.2 kg... with not much attention paid to my diet and also super decrease in exercising it is still amazing that i did lose weigh... lose some muscle which is a bit frustrating... i did realise some jiggly jiggly in my arm...basically once you exercise and do weight training u cant stop...it is so easy to lose muscle...

it been 3++ months m doing this healthy lifetsyle... it been a roller coaster... one moment m super excited and disciplined...one moment i feel m ungrateful so far in my life never work really hard...and when trying to lose weight which require lotss of sacrifice from me, i realise how ungrateful i was... never being appreciative of things that i have in my life, never make full use of God gifted talent, making me becoming hard working and grateful with my life for a while... one moment i was a bit anorexic...i hav a compulsion to do excessive exercise when i eat or i eat really really little... then, one moment i feel people don't understand  and supportive of me... ... life is too short to not to eat so much delicious foods that the world got 2 offer and to exhaust yourself every single days... then now i think m becoming lazy... eating healthy no longer a really tempting thing to do and my muscle, bone and body are just too lazy to exercise... i already vow to myself that i will be discipline and motivated back in all this weight lose...basically, all this weight lose thing, is not easy... there will always be roller coaster... but u juz need to keep going and preach what you believe... :D

Second Follow-up (9/9/2011)

Hi,

yesterday, i did my second follow-up... due to some problems, my follow up is a little bit late... it is now week 10... it should be every 4 weeks... yesterday, officially mark on paper that i lost 10 kg... when we look in TV, when ppl lose 10 kg they look so small... don't be suprise i am still big as always... before when i was 14, i gain 12 kg n never weigh below 72 kg... then in 2 months, i was lighter than i was in 10 years... now i am already below 70 kg... maybe in 4 months, i will be lighter than i was in primary school....hopefully....OMG... this is so fast that it is starting to freak me out... it freak my trainer out also... because when things so fast, there must be something extra extreme... i didn't did any extra stuff just did whatever prescribed plus now i eat whatever sometimes... maybe i gain lots of muscle so even when i eat i still lose weight... but looking at my body hard to say it is muscle...hihihh

but as i said earlier, weight is not an indicator of anything... we just do the weigh in because juz 2 see how it goes... in term of body fat i lose 4.4% in 6 weeks i think... which is really a lot... but as i lose most fat from my back.. i cant really see it... my stomach is still big as usual... in 10 weeks,,, i lose about 7++ % of body fat which is triple what i should be losing... i should lose 2.5% in 10 weeks.. in one way, it seem extra positive... in other direction, it seem scary... i hope i am not malnutrition... but i think m fine... i also not sure.... will see how things will be..

yesterday also Kristy gave me free training session... as usual training with her is super hard compared to my own training session... and the intensity is double harder than before... but with the Italian rugby team training in the same gym with me i become extra motivated.. hihihh... now i think i need to slow down on losing weight... Cardio and less carb honestly is the most contributing to losing weight plus weight training... however, i am not competing in biggest loser so who cares how much i weigh... now i think i think i need to focus more on toning my body... it is easier to do cardio on cardio machine...rather than to do crunch, lunges, squat all dat... i will still do maybe 1-2 hours a wk of cardio machine n lotsss of Zumba..really in love with Zumba... n more hours of toning... plus nw my new prescription i need to exercise 6 hrs a wk only... 2 hours discounted...ahahha....i hope by the end of this, i will be as super athletic as Tara.. i x know whether u guys know or not from biggest loser... although she did not win, she become super fit... that is what i want to be... rather than becoming a broom stick...hihihh ... but again with my super crazy hons... due dissertation very very soon, every week assignments due, my marking and exams around the corner, i hope i will be still alive by the end of the year... sometimes, when u did things in extreme, u become amaze with so much energy and abilities u have.... but i cant just forget my 23 years of free will, easy, laid-back and lazy lifestyles,  sometimes when things super extreme, i will be super sick...this yr i need to hav paryers more than i ever i did in my entire life...May God bless my good intention..... to hard work workout and study smartly...:D

First Follow-up (28/7/2011)

Hi,

About 2 weeks ago, i did my first follow up with her... it is a monthly follow-up to see progress...we did measurement, fat test n photo her fav part but didn't do any weigh in...bcos as u exercise, u gain muscle mass sometimes... i lose 3-4 cm on every part of my body... when i look at a ruler, it seem a lot but still when i look at myself it don't see much different... she said the normal one is usually 1cm per 4 weeks n she is so impress with what i achieve...it is so obvious that what i eat and my laziness is contributing factor to my fatness.. i never really lose anything in my life so quick... but when i eat healthy and moving it seem to work... on the body fat test, i lose 2.5% of body fat... which she say is a lot... she wants me to lose 1% per 4 weeks but still she said 1% is not something really achievable... as i lose 2.5% it would be really good... but she said the more u lose, the harder for u to lose afta dis and the faster u lose, the harder to maintain... but again she said with discipline and dedication, this is possible... i don't know how true is all this..is it true what i achieve is as good as what she say maybe she juz want to keep me motivated... but again i can lose a bit also an achievement considering 19 yrs of being overweight... i hope this will continues...:D
