Everyday except for Sundays I go to the gym and work out about 2 hours total. It is my leisure, habit and addiction. Yes, I am a gym rat and feel nervous if I skipped it. But, those who know me in person should be aware that I am no buff, but rather a skinny.. or lean. I would like to get a bit bigger, but it isn't easy.
Recently, I have shed about 9 pounds that is about 4 kilos. When my weight was at its highest, it was 184 lbs (84kg) but now I weigh around 176lbs (80kg). This year has been quite experimental because I've tried various methods to control my weight. After changing the gym to the current one, I met a new trainer and he's taught me a lot of things e.g. workout routines, regimen and so forth and it has been very helpful. Gradually, I've gained more power to control my weight by eating healthy and working out more efficiently.
The most important thing that I've gleaned is that eating snacks at night was the primary reason that I could not lose weight before. I love chips and after workout, I'd run to the the convenient store next to my house and grab a bag of chips. Not anymore. As time went by, I've lost fat around my waist and now can see some of my pacs. It is quite amazing. Now the pants that used to fit are kind of loose.. I've lost about 2 inches around my waist. Above all, that I don't snack at work or drink has always been conducive.
At the same time, my overall physique has been reduced to a certain proportion. My pants when worn are bit loose. and I DO NOT like it. So, now I've shed some fat, it is time for me to gain some pure muscles .. or intake some low GI food to carb up for. More pasta? More fruit? More whole meal bread? More tuna? More meat??
Now I somewhat understand the feeling that when fat people lose a great deal of weight and hold their pants in the picture with a big smile in their faces. Well, not exactly tantamount, but a bit similar. but a little bit more of muscles... ah.. am I getting addicted.. or getting paranoid..or obsessing??????????
