. Also I want to gain more muscle in the upper body with special focus on shoulders and bis, and to get legs to lean out to the maximum, as that is where I keep all my fat!
Glad to see you back and posting your diet!!!!
. I guess I don't easily gain weight, which makes me less careful with my food.... and in the end I just stagnate...
I walk funny after leg day too. I dont think missing another day will kill you. Take care of what you need to do
Had no idea you started a new journal. I would have been by sooner 
Had a leisurly breakfast on the balcony this morning, the weather was great, sunny, and bright and without a cloud in the sky!! Then it was the gym time, and I took my time with both the workout and the sauna/shower/massage afterwards. I feel so relaxed right now.|

Im no expert.. but I think our metabolisms slows down as we get older.. due to that, we need to be-careful and notice what kind of food that bloats us and make us hold water

And besides I am not Asian!! , not much older just a little , they kinda think experience and skill come with years of working... but if you are the type that doesn't mind being away from home, and you are open minded to different cultures and customs, you should definitely give it a try as soon as you hit 25.

I think that would be really awesome to live out there for a while. I always wanted to live in a foreign country(Italy), but Malaysia would do! What should my area of expertise be in? I have a few years untill I am 25. |

Left me feeling like I just came out of the gym! Why you ask? Well this missy went out partying lots and lots over the weekend and forgot to buy her groceries! This morning I open my fridge and there's nothing in it, no eggs, no cottage cheese, no tuna, no bread, no oat groats..... Even if you let the bar free-fall, it moves ever so slowly. The gym is so big, it's not likely it will ever be full!! And they have grrrreat LOUD music!! And its cheaper than my gym 
. The only thing is, it's out of the way for me, too far and bad traffic on that stretch.... And a gym is never big enough . The gym I go to is hella big , but for some reason its full on mondays (people feeling guilty over the weekend) .

So in a way, you see yourself in the mirror perfectly well at your station, but U can't see very well what other people are doing, which gives an impression of privacy.
Good morning Dalila. Have a great day!
Wow that's will be great for me reading your log section and see how you work your plan as well and received good tips from it.
We have this huge wine gala at our club every December, and the wine is usually much cheaper and it can be tasted before buying, so that's when we stock up for xmas, new year and the year ahead.
Gosh, I wake up everyday and feel like its sunday and I have to work!! You are so nice, muscular, and lean, I am a little pudgy baby-bear! I am actually counting on you and people like you to help me transform into a beatuiful muscular, lean woman too!

I usually save them for my Saturday Cheat day, but yesterday Oh well, I got a little attack. When my grocery is not done, hell, I'm always running like a dummies to try to match something okay, but it always came up to screw up the day a little But lately I try to limit myself to 2 glasses twice a week only ( used to have a glass or two every day with dinner) but my fat-loss is just stagnating way too much, considering my diet and workouts... I figured it has to be all that wine... so 65 bottles or not, I am only drinking it twice a week from now on! .

Just kidding man
Im actually off to a friends party , everyone will be drunk except me I smell the designated driver --> just for the heck of it.
Have fun tonite! It's morning here, actually verrry late morning LOL and I just got up and I am off to the gym.
I shouldn't eat more than 1600 cals for a while, at 1700 I'll never shape these fatty watty legs. oh and I am only 166cm tall!
Bought loooots of fish, huge prawns, squid, clams, etc....So watch out for some nice meals in my diet-log. , I plan to have a glass or two of wine, from now till after hols as and when I feel like it, cuz the festive mood is on all-high around here already -we have celebratory dinners at least 4 days a week now, and I wanna be able to enjoy them ( while still controling what I eat to an extent).|

Oh and I managed to wake up really early on saturday morning to go to a wet market, and buy enugh meat to feed a small village!

Its the holidays , enjoy your wine sweetie , but dont get too toopsy (if its a word) |
I only get smashed for big occasions when I am with people I fully trust and NEVER with wine.... usually tequila or rum. As they start on November 11th for deepavali, and end on february 9th with chinese new year..... but it catches up with me only in december!
.. I think I read that is not good.. I will find out.
, I put the plates cuz otherwise my balance is completely off!! Dunno if you remember but before my back injury, I could never squat even with plates under the heels, so Jodi recommended I did initially squats while keeping my hands and weights in front of me, after that to progress to doing them properly but with plates underneath my heels, and then the real squats.. I am sure even if I went to see a doc he would tell me to find out which foods do this to me, right? Cuz if it was IBS or something I'd bloat all the time, woudln't I?
In terms of geographies, my fave are the chiliean wines, followed closely by australian ones. I generally, don't like shiraz and chardonnay blends, and love merlots and cab-sauvs , and rieslings and sauv-blancs.. There's Terarrum Merlot, Cockfighter's Ghost Cab-sauv, Mitolo G.A.M ( although it's shiraz it's yummie), Penfolds are usually very good too, Hugh Hamilton's Red Emperor Cab-sauv....

To me , it all tastes the same I must miss a sense or something If you like whine , you should try some frozen wine (if its what they call it ) Vin de glace in french. The raisins are are taken when its 0 to -5 celcius or something like that (Im not an expert) and supposedly it has a very good taste. Oh ya , its not from France , its from Canada , you might have trouble to get your hands on some , but Im sure it would be worth it if you ever do.

I'll find out as much as I can about it and I'll fill you in
There are times when I eat like a pig without any change to the intensity of my workouts, and i wouldn't put on more than a pound or two, sometimes not even that much... 
At least keep the white wine for me
tried waking up in the morning to get it done then, naaah didn't work! Can't ever wake up before 8.45am!

My saturday is looking awfull , but my sunday should be somewhat fun and relaxing.
It was in a jazz bar, and they had an excelent live band, but also anyone who could play an instrument, or sing well, would join them up on the stage, jam together, it was really spontaneous and nice.
I think from today it should be back to normal.
Anyways, how have you been?
.. would love to see paris too, but I am a little worried about the language issues, hmmmm... if I still decide to go to prague, will give you a tinkle . 
. Wait, I still run around like that. Dang!

. No tsunami waves didn't reach the capital,Kuala Lumur, which is inland, so we are all OK, just pretty much shaken by the abruptness and the magnitude of the disaster... it's unbelievable almost. ( since this is the IM forum ), diet's been realtively good, I am still staying away from anythign with sugar, and from most of simple starches, still working out, but less frequently... and warm wishes for a Happy New Year. Hope you guys have a blast!
Oh.. and will you take pictures for me? Pretty please?
And I am not rich, couldn't be further from it but you see, when I fly from Asia to Europe they give me 2 stop-overs free.... So I figure why waste it, right? Will take lots and lots of photos, I promise!! . But it was fun in a way, lots of drunken, silly and funy things happen . What were you up to?

Dont worry about it sweetie, it will all come back 
How are you Jakie? Thanks for popping in looking for me, that's sweet!! Was this your first taste of cold weather ?

And you are right my holiday was a blast!! I just wish I didn't have to come back to work at all! |
. I think you're talking about the Ice Hotel in Canada right? I was at the one in Sweden - near Kiruna. I stayed 2 nights and that was more than enough man, had to drink lots of schnaps to keep me warm! And there's no cuddling at nite there, let me tell ya, each to his own well-tied, well-padded sleeping bag! -25 not bad? OMG, a couple of times, especially when I was on a moving object, like dog-sled, I really thought my nose was gonna freeze and fall off! Since I wasn't lifting for 1.5 months, I decided to start lighter than where I left off ( I wasn't able to lift the same anyways), and do full body workouts for a while. 3 exercises major body parts, 12 reps X3 sets, and 2 exercises for smaller muscle gorups with same reps and sets - just to ease myself back into working out. Also, I am trying to eat a bit more, but still can only down 4 clean meals.

Today, I am pleasantly sore, the apetite is better, but no actual pain, which means I can go running tonite ). I think the best part about staying in the Ice Hotel was being able to do all the activites like dog sledding, visiting the Sami people, "driving" a raindeer slay, snomobiling, searching for the norther lights.... did you get to see the northern lights while you were in sweden? I am sure you did, right? I spent 3 nights in Jukjasjarvi, but the weather was bad on all three, and I didn't see them... .....

No I don't speak any swedish, so it was really difficult in stockholm... contrary to my expectations, not many people were able to speak english ( or maybe it was just my bad luck to come across people who couldn't speak it ).

Sounds like you had a great time, I miss Sweden. Been almost 7 years since Lisa and I left and plane tickets from the US to sweden are expensive. I definately liked the northern parts of sweden better than like Stockholm. I hated driving in Stockholm LOL.
