Kingston Liu — Mon, 30 Apr 2012 16:46:55 +0000

Just took a good advice as i am still hungry after my few pieces of chicken for dinner

So I ate a whole cucumber, and was wondering how many calories I just consumed.

Searched and found this…lovely read
Only 34! For a whole cucumber…the cucumber i ate was quite big….so lets say 50…still better than what i was thinking of getting…. A cup noodles with 250.calories…

Lucky!

T&F Journal: Day One

Kingston Liu — Sun, 22 Apr 2012 12:24:58 +0000

So T&F means Training & Food Journal.

Today is not really day one, but lets just reset and assume today is day one of this report since it is day one of my work out Blog.

Need to create a system to track.
So it will be Training & Food, training will track my work out and Food = Food.

Training

5km jog/walk
1-2 hours of weight chest training in gym

Bench Press – 60kg max
Incline Bench Press – 30 kg (weak for this)
Crossover Pull Down -
Pull Up
Weighted Abs pull down – Full
Crunches
Some crazy mike chang workout for 20 minutes of various cardio work out

Food

Did not eat well today, not cause I ate too much but I didn’t really eat much the whole day till dinner.

2 shots of espresso + soy before cardio work out
1 shot with protein and oats shake

That is all for the day..and bakkutteh for dinner

BKT = Very lean pork + vegies + bowl of rice

The dinner is not that bad since it is all lean meat and soup, maybe the bowl of rice might be a nono for dinner, but not the same without rice.

Room for improvement.

Probably will be taking 2 egg whites before bed since it was already prepared.

Really exhausted!

Fitness Campaign Launched

Kingston Liu — Sun, 22 Apr 2012 05:36:08 +0000

After too many failed attempts on getting fit over the course of 6-8 years since my very peak level in 2004-5.

It is time to start getting serious. As my metabolism is slowing down gradually with age, it is pretty hard to get my peak shape back!

I will start using my blog as a little fitness journal to track my daily food intake, workout and the progress update.

I did actually started my workout/food program 2 weeks ago, first week was actually pretty good but my hardcore discipline started to decline the following week.

Decided to purchase a treadmill in march, due to my work schedule as it is pretty troublesome to get to the gym for a good workout. Been using it but so far my weight is stuck at 86-89 kg since it went up in December due to a very nice and yummy European holiday where I put on 5 kg in 2 weeks.

I will try to prove that you do not need an expensive gym membership to lose weight and muscle up. My fitness first membership will be ending in May so I will have to manage with my home set up and maybe just tag along someone with a fitness first membership that I can go on the weekends to use some real massive weights.

So this will be what I will be working out on at home.

A reebok treadmill, a bench, and 10 kg weights. A tub for soaking in ice, milk and rose petals after a long work out. Motivational aids on the wall reminding me as I run.

So far the treadmill is pretty good, just the system is in miles instead of kilometers.
But I stick on some stickies to get the km conversion.

Let the fun begin!! Sometimes if I’m busy I’ll just post my meals and work out details

My current weight is 88 kg, target will be 75 for now. Main focus is losing the fats, and not bulking. I will start my muscle building when my body fat Is lower.

Stay tuned!
