Been trying my best to integrate fitness while I’m on the road. I’m travelling for a minimum of six months in Southeast Asia and I know that I normally lose weight when I travel. I still want to continue going to the gym in the process and while I am on this process of slow travelling, I’m going to make sure that I have physical exercises done.
Edcel – a personal weblog mind games and then some.
Sautéed Vegetables
March 17, 2011 — edcelI’m going organic by eating more sautéed vegetables for lunch and dinner. I don’t mind considering that I’m already accustomed to having these types of dishes without any meat with them.
Fruits and Cereals for Breakfast
March 15, 2011 — edcelI’ve been jogging twice or thrice a week now and it gives me the added energy considering I’m able to sweat out the stress that I’ve accumulated due to my current working conditions.
Cebu Fitness First flop
March 14, 2011 — edcelOh well, I was not informed of the new promo by Fitness First for a one-month package was only valid for first-time visitors. Too bad as I was really hyped up to get back in shape and be more active in the gym. The bigger hassle was that I had to cut my sleep, get out of bed and head straight to the Ayala Center branch in Cebu to make use of the voucher. In the end, I was denied since they already have my records and it was stipulated in the certificate that it was indeed good for new visitors – a rule that an agent failed to inform me.
hitting it
March 9, 2011 — edcelMy bro gave me a ticket to a gym nearby with a discount. I’ll be able to use it for a month and after that, I’ll find a cheaper alternative to staying fit.
jogging in Cebu
January 8, 2011 — edcelFrom Lahug to Ayala to SM to Parkmall to IT Park (5 rounds) to Lahug. I wish I could take some photos of the places I’ve jogged. But I didn’t want to get mugged in routes I shouldn’t be taking in the first place. Besides, I’ve got no point and shoot camera to use.
fitness challenge
November 23, 2010 — edcelI’ll start running. I actually have; only I haven’t been as serious. I’ve been putting off this activity with the excuse that I didn’t have any running shoes to wear. I realized how pathetic a reason it was. Other people have ran using slippers – makes me wonder how long I have carried the feeling of being consious about how people would see me. It doesn’t really equate much because the goal of this pursuit is due to me being conscious. Maybe it’s the varying degree and level of being highly critical is what separates the two.
back to the gym
July 23, 2010 — edcelI have to head back to the gym. It’s been a week since my membership expired and I have to renew it again. Somehow, I like being a bum again. I won’t have to spend so much and I’m not as pressured to go out.
hit the gym
July 20, 2010 — edcelI need to hit the gym again. It’s been a week since I stopped and I’m afraid that I’ll develop some sore muscles again once I lift some weights. I stopped since I transferred to a new place and since I got swamped with all the workload that’s been given.
gloves for the calluses
April 24, 2010 — edcelBecause I didn’t want to find any constellation appearing on my palms, I went ahead and bought some gloves for lifting weights. I didn’t know that I’m really getting serious with working out. It’s been two weeks already and I haven’t seen any difference still. Oh well, I’m still waiting for my program from one of the PTs.
gym gym
April 22, 2010 — edcelI was advised by a colleague to have higher reps and less weights. My built is already okay, I just need to get the proper cuts. I’m still waiting for the trainer’s program when he said he’ll email them to me. For now, I’m just working on being able to lift more pounds than my body can take. I plan to take the whole gym act seriously.
7-day pass for health
March 29, 2010 — edcelI’m almost done with the Fitness First Seven Day trial run and I want to enroll but I don’t have enough budget in order to pay for the membership and monthly fees. I’ll probably just apply in another club. The week was spent on the treadmill and then lifting weights. I don’t notice any significant changes but I would like to continue this routine to look and feel better.
hitting the gym
March 26, 2010 — edcelBeen hitting the gym lately. I got a 7-day free pass and it’s my leave for a week that’s why I’ve been maximizing my time in order to at least become active again. I know that when I’ll be back to work, I’ll be having a hard time coping with maintaining this activity; maybe I’ll scrap the idea altogether or I dunno. We’ll see.
i was here — apo!
March 18, 2010 — edcelI wish I could still stay on the island, but I had pending work to do and I still had to catch up on pending tasks. Arrghhh. All this has proven to be taxing on my end. I’d like to de-stress again; maybe hit the gym to get some physical action done at least every other day — I’ve been sitting and lying down more than I should in a day and this isn’t doing me good with my health.
second opinion
February 27, 2010 — edcelWent to a trusted orthodontist to check how my procedure will be taken care of. It seems that going the healthy and fit road will cost me much. 60K for brackets? Not for me; I got a second opinion which will only cost me half. I hope that the amount will not compromise the quality of the experiment. Vanity has its price, but it’s a price I don’t want to pay considering that I don’t want to invest a lot.
