Bazaar Food
As usual, things going to go as planned yesterday, on the first day I decided to get myself out of this rut. My colleagues decided to cancel the trip because there were some family emergencies. So I stayed back in school to mark till 6 before I did my workout in the gym. Since at 6 I only had an hour before I broke fast, I decided to go with low weights, high reps and low rest time. Basically something that was quasi high-intensity.
1. 3 sets x 150 Bench Press (12reps) in between
3 sets x 30kg x Half Squats (12 reps)
2. 3 sets x 120 lats pull down (12 reps) in between
3 sets x 60 hamstring curl (12 reps)
3. 3 sets x Shoulder Press (12 reps) in between
3 sets x 110 Quadricep Extension (12 reps)
4. 3 sets x 120 Tricep Pull Down (12 reps) in between
3 sets x 20kg bicep curl (12 reps)
5. 3 sets x Leg raises (15 reps) in between
3 sets x Lower Back raise (15 reps)
20 counts of 8 of Jumping Jacks
Surprisingly I finished my weight routine at 630 and it was quick. This was done as a super set where there was no rest time during each grouping. The rest time was only meant for changeover from group to group. Meaning, after ech set of tricep curls, I immediately went on to bicep curls and vice versa without resting. After ll three sets were done, I rested for 1 minutes to get ready to start the same routine on the leg raise and back raise routine.
This way I more or less encompassed every single major body part, I was targetting. The Chest, Upper back, Lower Back, Shoulders, Triceps, Biceps, Quadriceps, Hamstring and the Abdominals. Oh no I missed the gsstronemius( i think thats how its spelt, bsically the calves). So this routine has to be improved upon. My trapezius and the forearm has been sorely negelcted. Same goes for the gluts, and both my leg abductors and adductors. I might need to include these in somehow, but I am not sure if the gym have the right equipment to support it. Ill just improvise.
T problem yesterday was my food consumption. I was fasting so for the entire day I did not have anything, until 7 when my mum prepared quite a few things. And because I was so hungry from the fast and the workout, I could not resist eating whatever that was on the table.
1. Two Mr Bean buns, 1 chocolate and 1 redbean( this was a mistake, too high in simple sugar intake)
2. Fried Udon Mee ( this was the main dish, there is no way to avoid this, because she took great pains prepring this and its irresistable, think seafood cryfish pasta, but a lot spicier)
3. Tea.
Initially I thought it wasnt that bad and was pretty proud of myself until my friends and I decided to visit the bazaar last night. Right at the beginning, I was really disciplined, buying mineral water and not tempted to buy the variety of scrumptious sinful delicacies being sold everywhere you turn. However by midnight, I was hungry again. Cptain Z and the missus wanted to get deng dengs( halal bak wah) and ramly burgers but the queue was very long. So we had to stand there waiting for them to prepare these dishes. Every second was torcherous because the aroma was literally seeping through the pores of my skin. Then, my other friend, Mr S caved in and bought fishball soaked in sambal with a cup of ice cold bandung. I decided that if it would not do me any good to stay there any longer so I decided to walk around while they waited for their food. That didnt help because I ended up being caught in the section of the Geylang bazaar that was dedicated to the sale of FOOD! So I took it as a sign to just hunt for the healthiest thing there and ended up paying 5 dollars on chicken kebab.
Hopefully with the end of Ramadhan, I wouldnt crve for food that much and my eating would be more structured and disciplined.
Its close to 6, and my entire body is sore because of yesterdays workout, but I intend to change up and do sprints under the block.
I need to do this. TF and FD was looking at photos of ACES Day last year, and they exclaimed at how slim I looked then. I took another look at the picture, and concurred. This was exactly one year ago. How did I put on so much weight in one year?
Never mind. Whats done cannot be undone.Time to move on and do the sprints.
Oh yes, TF has discovered that I am starting to blog again, and decided to tell everyone. And I thought I was going to be discreet about it.
