The Pursuit 2 (June Assessment)

It's been a month but I feel like I'm still stuck from the before I started this plan. Although not much major factors but my trip to Singapore a week ago kinda had me stopped working out for less than a week, then it was only on June 26 that I manage myself to get back to the gym again.

Something to consider is getting the right motivation to actually work out. I notice that when I feel tired or sleepy while commuting back home, my body is urging me to take a nap by the time I get home which should not be the case. Getting a good sweat doing work-outs could actually help unwind the body. I managed to do that on several times on days that I get home early from school.

One problem though is I never get to record my gains so it's hard for me to monitor if on how far I'm doing. I decided that getting myself a notebook to use as a workout log to record what I do is the best way to keep myself updated. I'm also using it as a food journal to write all the stuff I'm eating. This way I know that what I eat and drink affects my body in one way or another.

Speaking of food, I think I'm getting good on this department. Not counting what I ate during my Singapore trip, I manage not to eat too much in a day. I'm also reducing my rice consumption especially at home. If in school, I guess a scoop of rice won't exactly hurt. I also manage to incorporate oatmeal into my regular food intake so that for the whole morning, I won't feel full.

One tiny problem is my urge to get a sweet fix. The only remedy I could think off is buying a peace of fruit (i.e. banana) for most days of the week. But every once in a while, in order to satisfy my sweet cravings, a turon or a granola bar a week should do the trick.

Oh well, there's still a lot of work to do to achieve this goal. I still have 2 months left before the deadline.

To be able to do this more efficiently, I'm planning on enrolling again to Eclipse 24/7 in Mabini. This time, I'm hoping I could find a partner so that I could be able to go there anytime. Back then, I made use of their offpeak promo because it's what I could afford. However, I enrolled there on a bad time because it coincided at a time when school demanded more of my time and I failed manage to make do with both. So I'm hoping for a fresh start in Eclipse as early as now.

Seriously though, Php1280 is no joke for a partner rate. It's fortunate that I manage to save enough money to last me a good two months. Just had to be smart enough to save enough money to do this every month.

As long as I take the effort on making the step, I know I could still manage to achieve my goal despite the odds.
