extraordinary in the making.


eh hi everyone! haha. it's been two months since my last post la.
and i haven't even started uni then.
now guess what, i'm already on my mid session break and after next week, i only have 5 weeks of classes to go. forever! (kinda, for now until i find smthg useful to do).

and then it's exams, graduation and boooom! scary huh? yeahhhhh.

anyway what have i been up to? i have been on a break from my trainings for about a month.
but now i'm back on track so it's day 3 and i will try to keep this up until i see abs or around august (whichever occurs first hehe.) it's all in the science la. seriously.

proper nutrition (and i mean proper i.e. regular eating every 3 hours, 5 meals a day, high in lean protein, moderate complex carbs, no refined sugar or processed foods including fast food and takeaways and the occassional treat once a week). pretty much all i mention here has a reason behind it. like why do we have to eat every 3 hrs and 5 times a day? to keep your metabolism high so it keeps burning off all those nasties. protein for muscle building (think abs!) and no processed foods for you know obvious reasons.

and then there's the exercise bit, pumping it up with a mix of cardio and resistance, strength and weight training and flexibility (i.e. yoga). see the thing is, you won't get abs only by running alone or jogging, or cycling or jumping on the rower or elliptical machine. weights, and i mean those really cool dumbbells you see lying around the male dominated part of the gym will be my best friend over the next few weeks.

then there's the proper rest bit and stress handling to keep your serotonin levels in control so you won't damage yourself over the long haul.

it's pretty amazing and i am so blessed to be able to study all this and know the science and mechanics behind losing weight, building muscle and maintaining them and you know what, i shall apply it all to myself and make me extraordinary. oh yeah. :)

uni uni uni has been good so far! yup, i mean i'm only doing two subjects anyway. my fitness course at tafe is also good. i kinda let it slip a little over the past couple of weeks but i regained and am in control.

work has been good! so i was asked for the third time over my 5 years in starbucks whether i wanna become a supervisor but this time i think my boss is very persistent in promoting me only cause it'll look good on her, me being her guinea pig, and i am the only one in the store with that much experience la. we shall see though. it's a good thing, but i dunno if it'll fit into my short term goals. we'll see. :)

alright that's pretty much it for now. oh and i am going scuba diving for the first time ever in 4 days! woooohoooo!!

xoxox.
