Words Can’t Justify It

24 Feb

Hey, I apologize for the lack of updating the blog recently. I have no other excuse other than being slacking off and lack of time commitment. Well hopefully I still maintain at least one reader, right?? LOL

Anyway there were things been going on for me and one of it was I finally joined a gym!

Yup you read it right, I joined a gym.

So what happened to home workout? Well I still do it if I don’t have time going to gym or if it’s a recovery day. The reason I joined a gym is because I want to take my training to the next level. I am planning to do more weight training so I could reach my fitness goal: to improve my raw strength!

It took me a while to realize that there’s a gym nearby my workplace and my workplace offers membership discount without any commitment! Before the offer expires this month, I decided to sign up. My workout schedule remains the same. I still get up at 3:40am and I just need to catch the first train to work and do my workout before I walk to the office.

In order to achieve this goal, I’ve also put together my own workout program that I will be doing for the next 4-6 weeks. Still tweaking it around but the main idea is already there. Pretty much I’ll be focusing on basic moves.

So far so good.

I am still doing my Carb Nite Solution and I think it’s been around 3 months now. I might not lose tons of weight but I could see my body composition has changed.
Note: I flexed my muscles in these pictures btw.

Yesterday I went to my friend’s daughter’s 1st birthday party.

I perfectly knew there would be hardly anything I could eat besides the salad and the hardboiled eggs. Luckily I had some pumpkin leftover and I made this Crustless Pumpkin Pie (recipe here)

It was my first attempt and I was crossing my fingers how it turned out! I took 2 slices and it tasted pretty good to me. Luckily my friend’s mom told me she LOVED it and even hid the rest of the pie.

Today I tried out this Chinese Crispy Pork Belly recipe aka Siu Yuk and it turned out not bad at all!

Made my own Coconut butter

I’ve seen people making this egg cup with deli meats so today I decided to make some for my weekday in between snacks. I realize I totally lacking of protein and fat snack to tide me over until my next meal. These should be good.

    You look great, Jos! Very slim and toned! But wow, you get up so early to fit in your morning workout! :O

    I still have a gym membership but haven’t gone there in months … *shame* Well, I think I’ll quit it now that I’m going to move away, and currently I don’t plan to get another one. Some day, maybe. When I went there regularly twice a week I found it very helpful for improving my back pain and feeling better overall, but I don’t put on muscles, I just get stringy. Now I don’t feel overly well in my body, I’m all sluggish, so I really want to have some exercise back in my life when I have recovered from exhaustion a little more.

    i still read! i wonder if that pumpkin pie would stick together without the protein powder? prob if i added more eggs? i kinda want to try the carb nite solution for a month just to see how it affects me.

      p.s. you look amazing!

        Thanks! I think you could use coconut flour to bind the pumpkins together if you are not using protein powder. I used protein powder to boost up the protein content to keep the fat ratio close to 1:1 with protein.

        If you want to try Carb Nite Solution, you won’t see much changes just a month. You need at least 3 months or even more, especially if you don’t have much weight to lose. CNS book is kinda outdated so you might need to scour the Dangerously Hardcore forum to read all the updates or I’d suggest you work with a professional to tweak it around. I’ve been working with Deborah Kaplan and she has helped me a lot with this CNS. :) Hope this helps.

    I recently started making my own coconut butter too. Its really simple and delish. I add a wee bit of stevia and vanilla while the coconut is whirling around in the food processor, afterwards, I line a sheet tray with wax paper, pour the coconut mixture, spread out, and chill for a bit in the refrigerator. Then after it sets up break into pieces…..tastes just like a sugar cookie! And all it is is coconut, stevia, and vanilla…..who knew???
