Working It!09.02.09

I used to be active and thin but there was this episode in my life that I was eating more and doing things less. I was always at home sitting in front of my computer or the playstation for like 6 to 10 hours straight especially during weekends or holidays. At school was no different either and the only time we get to be active was when we have a film shooting. I didn’t notice that my weight was piling up until I saw myself in the mirror.

I didn’t care at first because Odd always told me that I look sexy all the time and I bought it. Though I wished he could have been more blunt but he said that he loves me and it doesn’t matter that I was fat or thin. I felt contented because of what he said but it was shortlived. Being overweight brought me a string of problems like hard-to-find-clothes-that-will-fit, heartburns, easily tired, high cholesterol level and etc. I was no longer healthy in other words.

I told myself that I should do something about this and luckily, I found a chance to reinvent myself when I travelled back to the tropics. This is what I did:

1. Enrolled myself to a gym and worked out 2-3 hours daily except Sundays.

2. Regarding with my diet, I have an oatmeal with fruits during breakfast, a full meal of veggies and meat on lunch and a banana or apple during dinner. On weekends I do indulge myself with some comfort food like chocolate, ice cream or a burger since they say it is also bad to deprive yourself with simple joys.

3. I sleep as early as I can (11pm is already late for me) and up around 6am. A good night sleep won’t make you look haggard.

4. Plus, I drink almost 12 glasses of water everyday. I heard it is also good for the skin.

5. Multivitamins! Need I say more?

Honestly, I find it funny that I managed to fix my life with a daily routine and loving it. Anyway, this is what I look now:

I lost a total of 20 kilos in a span of 5-6 months. I am happy that my hard work paid off but I am still striving to improve myself more and work on a path of healthy living. Soon I will have the body like these guys have:

They are my thinspirations! Travis is a model turned actor while Ellis is a model under Major Model Management.

Speaking of something healthy, I made some steamed napa rolls for dinner and I got the recipe from watching Rachael Ray. I used a lean grounded pork instead so there were no fats in it plus it’s steamed so it’s basically not oily. You can get a copy of the recipe here.

P.S.

Please drop me more ideas or suggestions on my Skribit (or click on the suggestion button located to your left) and vote for the one that I should write about on my next entry. Thanks in advance!
