Day 21 - end of the beginning?

edlim Posted 4 May  in #Food #Sport #Lifestyle #Water #DukascopyMarathon #Drinkwater #Morningexercises #Meditate #Pullinstomach #Eyesexcercises
Final day status report:
Reaching this mile-stone now, I'm truly glad I went through this new routine and review for this 21 days.
Learn lots on how having quality meals and how making simple adjustments could make a good impact to my overall well-being and outlook to life.
As a whole, my mind is much re-charged and my body also felt healthier.
It motivates and opened my eyes to a much better lifestyle.
The benefits seen and felt makes it all worth while!
A journey well-spent!

Day 18

edlim Posted 1 May  in #Food #Sport #Lifestyle #DukascopyMarathon #Drinkwater #Meditate #Pullinstomach #Eyesexcercises #Replacecoffee
Side-track:
Since morning until 2 pm SGT, I've had 2 of apple and 2 of Chinese-pear fruit slices; then followed by a hard-boiled egg.
I may take a small meal/snacks (like nuts/fruit slices) later on to energize and push off my big meal until dinner time.
End of the day, I seek get a deficit on my intake of calories against my daily caloric need.
This method/experiment is part of my intermittent-fasting strategy to cut down my belly-fat.
Hopefully, it'll work to my favor more than otherwise.
Anyw…

Day 17

Current status for my day 17 of week 2 and day 2 for adapting into intermittent-fasting:
Had egg and lettuce with 1000-island sauce sandwich at around 1030 am SGT
even though I'm not hungry; felt a little lethargic after that small meal.
Happy to note that doing exercises and listening to some music help perk my energy level back up later on.
Lifestyle
  • #meditate - done with prayers
Sport
  • #pullinstomach - done 30 reps.;

As mentioned yesterday regarding my sudden interest on intermittent-fasting, today is my experiment on applying that which I've learnt from the youtube videos.
Current status for my day 16 of week 2:
Sport
  • #pullinstomach - done 30 reps.;
  • #morningexercises - did full-body workout (F.B.W)- 1 round at ~8 am and the next round at ~11 am;
Did 8-30 repetitions between each stations. Attempted 10 of the 11 fitness stations (without abs-benching) as I do not wish to have another almost-fainting scare epis…

Day 15

edlim Posted 28 Apr.  in #Food #Sport #Lifestyle #Water #DukascopyMarathon #Drinkwater #Morningexercises #Meditate #Pullinstomach #Eyesexcercises
Almost 9pm SGT here, been watching lots on youtube relating to intermittent-fasting and time just fly by so fast.
Increased my repetitions for some daily exercises as I'm seeing better muscle recovery to my current sport routine.
I know this tweak won't cause a drastic shift from skinny-to-buff physique within the 21 days;
but still it's another step closer to the lifestyle that aligns with my overall well-being.
As a whole, I'm pretty happy with my current progress.
Anyway, current status for m…
