It's been a while since I posted a blog and I couldn't be more excited to share this one. ☺ I celebrated my birthday last Friday, August 18, 2017. I am very grateful to have celebrated it with my family and friends. It was a very busy week filled with laughter, photo shots, and lessons from the word of God. It was tiring to say the least but it was very much worth it. Unfortunately, I've been dealing with a cold for two days now but it was mostly due to my bad choices in life prior and during the week of my birthday. Here are the lessons that I should take note: 1. Don't go on a diet half-heartedly - I went on a bulking diet to gain weight and increase my strength. I've been almost always on maintenance calories and I've noticed that I am getting thinner to look at that's why I decided to bump up my calories especially carbs for 4 weeks. I extended it to 5 weeks because of my birthday week and I never felt so lethargic in my life. 2. Always create new goals - After attaining the visibility of my abdominal muscles a couple of months ago, I became lenient in my training and nutrition because I thought I had it all. Neither did I know that some of my old eating habits that were not good appeared once again here and there. 3. Worry less and prioritize sleep - I couldn't blame Facebook for being such an addictive tool when it comes to being informed with the latest happenings around the world. Just hearing a notification from Facebook will make your endorphins rush because "Hey, someone noticed me!" Staying up late at night definitely made my pimples break out again. I don't usually post my goals for everyone to see, but I need your help this time to hold me accountable. Here are some of the goals that I would tackle: 1. Go on an Elimination Diet - I've watched a video on YouTube which discussed the side-effects of dairy with regards to pimples that is why I will limit my consumption of milk and cheese for three weeks to see if this has any truth to it. 2. Get more sunlight - I workout mostly at our garage and I've been feeling a little bit bored of it that is why I will go to the playground to workout for a change. I'll post a video soon which would be fun! 3. Limit internet until 9:00 PM - No more late night internet surfing! Sleep is a very important bodily function that is why it shouldn't be compromised. I will aim for 7 to 8 hours of sleep every night. Setting small goals definitely lit the fire inside of me once again! On another note, the last date of the #1MinuteBurpeeChallengePH video submission will be tomorrow. If you haven't liked my video submission yet, please do click the link below: https://www.facebook.com/german.amurao/videos/1476743299057719/ Liking my video will be close to giving me a gift for my birthday this year. With your help, I can have this once in a lifetime chance to enter the Spartan Sprint Philippines happening at Timberland Heights, San Mateo, Rizal on September 16. 2017. It's so nice to be back! Looking forward to more blogs in the future. Until then, stay tuned! ☺ |
