[Nokie173]

Thank you everyone. I noticed a lot mentioned I should supersize the picture... he he he… maybe the next one.

I got up late and everything started out late… bummer!

9AM – Rice, eggs, sausage (I was sooooo HUNGRY)
12PM – Rice, chicken, broccoli
3PM – Wheat turkey sandwich
5PM – Lower body workout – Proteins hake
7PM - Steam green beans, fish
9PM – Protein shake

I think I need to watch out for my carbs more often… I ran out of fruits already… gotta go shopping again…

1 good thing
I love the weather today…. NOT hot at all…
Its beautiful cold breeze… I love the fact that I can wear a jacket!
I used to dislike the fog… but I rather want the fog more than the hot heat ( or anything over 80 degrees)

[feelin-great]

I love the pic, you look amazing! How are you feeling, everything better? Hopefully you will have a good long streak with no more injuries or illnesses!

[Boss Man]

You should be so proud of yourself Nokie.

You look pretty strong, you look healthy, and in good overall condition.

I'm proud of you, for always being dedicated, consistent and sticking to the task in hand.

Keep up the hard work, because you're ARE doing superbly well and you deserve to smile, for all hard work you've put in and what you've achieved.

You're a really superb person and I'm very happy for you.

WELL DONE .

Thank you all for you kind words and encouragements...

I've been eating the same thing... so I haven't been updating. Also, work have been very busy lately so I can't log online like I used to.
My workout have been going great until recently... hehehe.... that's my fault tho.
I did 50 push ups (5x10), Now my left should hurt again... (Now i know my limit... I used to do 100 (10x10) )
However, that didn't stop me from workout... I've been doing some cardio and plyometrics with lots of jumps and drills....

Hope you all are doing well

[Boss Man]

Workout… Still not doing Insanity Training yet because I know I will injure myself again with the intensive workouts (I already hurt my left shoulder with just 50 push ups). However, I am doing my own workout with light weights for upper body and a lot of intensive lower body workouts. (With all those various squats and lunges I’m doing… I better have one hard steel butt!!!!)

I hope everybody is doing well. When I have more time… I’ll be around and drop you all a line…. Until then... TAKE CARE and STAY FIT and HEALTHY!

1 good thing:
2 pounds gone… whew, such hard work!!!
(Dude… easy gain… f-ing hard to lose… But NEVER give up!)

You're doing brilliantly and you should be so proud of yourself.

Chin up, best wishes and good luck .

Update: 10/04/10

I thought I would have more free time after finishing a project. Instead I got 3 more extra projects…. Oh dear….

Weekends have been busy recently due to our friend’s wedding. I’m not sure if I mentioned it here that I was one of the bridesmaids… Anyways, the wedding was last weekend… tiresome and stressful… but successful… hehehe
Anyways, I didn’t make it to the weight goal that I wanted to for the wedding. Ohwell, it’s not like my life is over or anything… it’s just a short term goal I made for myself... No biggie. The main thing is the long term goal… which is to be healthy and eventually be fit.

My diet last week hasn’t been good. Sometimes I eat too little or too much at once. However, this week will be better.

M-W-F (workout 2 times a day) T-TH-SAT (1 time)
5AM – Protein shake ½
5:15-5:45 – Cardio – Protein shake ½
7 – Eggs and oatmeal
9:30 – Grilled chicken, raw cashews
12PM – Grilled fish, brown rice, steam broccoli
2:30 – FF cottage cheese
4:30 – Workout - weights – Protein shake
6 – Grilled chicken, green salad, side of peanut dressing
9 – Protein shake or HB eggs if still hungry.

My goal is to sleep earlier than usual so I can wake up earlier to do some morning cardio incase I don’t have time to come home to workout or go to the gym after work.

Certain days I will workout 2 times a day… the other days I will only do morning cardio. I have some obligations I need to do after work nowadays… no comments about that.

I will post up some pictures once I have time to load them on my computer. I’m a bit hesitant because I felt really big in that dress. Although the other bridesmaids think I’m too hard on myself… But it’s easy for them to say since they are small and the dress looks beautiful on them. Anyways… Hope everyone is doing well….

[Boss Man]

I think you are probably being a little hard on yourself in all honesty and you don't need to be.

Whatever you do keep on being proud of yourself, because you've earned that. You're a beautiful person on the inside where it matters most, so don't ever forget it and keep remembering what it's worth .

[musculargirl]

Nice to see you around, Nokie! I'm sure you looked good at the wedding! I think you are being too hard on yourself. You seem like your a really busy gal, are you still reading your comics?

[Nokie173]

Awww... Thanks!

No, I haven't been reading much comics. Been too busy and tired... Eyes won't open...
I hope next week or so will be better...

[Nokie173]

Wow… I haven’t been updating for awhile. I will start again with my diet and workout.

Little update:

October was one tough month ever… It has been an emotional ride.
Work was a major stress… Didn’t have time for breaks or lunch… eating and working is NOT the best thing to do but when it comes to deadlines… can’t help it. After work, straight to the hospital…

You know… When I was at the hospital I realized people could have avoided a lot of illness if they took care of themselves better. Daily exercise, better diet, don’t smoke, drink, and do drugs… etc… things they can do to prevent them coming to the hospital and have all kinds of illness.

Once you’re at the hospital… who knows what kind of medicine/drugs they will give you to cure your illness. If it’s the wrong drug… It can really mess you up even more!

In my case… the hospital gave a bad medicine to the person and that person became psychotic. The person didn’t even know who I was, became more ill then before and wanted to commit suicide. No one knew what happen until the doctors look over the changed of medicines and realized one of them had steroids in it. On our case, the steroids made that person psycho. It was very emotional for the whole family to go through it and to a metal hospital. After the medicine was discontinued… the person is recovering.

After one person was getting better another person happen to be hospitalized due to cancer. What can you do when you’re on stage 4? Just waiting for death? I’m at lost… I don’t know what to do… It’s depressing.

After stressing so much lately and having a bad habit of eating out and not working out enough is totally punishing my body and health. Being at the hospital the last month, it’s a really a reality check that I REALLY REALLY REALLY need to take care of myself better. If I can prevent some illness by continue to eat better and exercise and not do stuff that will harm my body…. I’ll DO IT!!!

I'll update tomorrow's Meal Plan later

MISS YOU ALL............

[Boss Man]

One thing you must do is be positive. Don't give the person who is ill reason to think their situation is affecting you deeply, otherwise it might make them feel guilty, as if they're putting through the wringer.

You'll have times to be emotional or feel down about things, but they need to remain away from the hospital, becasue the more the person has to feel better about things the better. If they are in a situation of no return, they need their final days making as positive as possible, because they are going through some unimaginably tough stuff and a few wobbly moments by you, pale into insignificance in comparison.

GOOD LUCK and whatever you do, chin up and keep on being you. You're a wonderful person, so don't underestimate it, because in this situation, you can be a great asset to someone in a seriously ill state.
