2012....New Year, New Goals, New Hope and New ME

Well, this is my first post in the year 2012. Every new year represents new beginning, new goals new hope....and of course new ME. Whatever happened in the year 2011 is already over, but we must always remember to look back at what we have achieved over the year, and what was not.

To many of us, a new year is just another day or year - well, mainly because our resolutions and goals were not achieved most of the time, until we sort of give up. This also means that we have started to feel comfortable with our position and feel reluctant to change - and honestly speaking, this is bad.


Looking back, what actually I intended to achieve last year? One of my goals last year was to gain weight. Maybe I did blog about it at first, but finally I stopped blogging about it, well, I think there is not a need as after I gained about 3kg, it kind of stuck there for like forever, until one day I weighed again at the health centre in my office, and it showed additional two kg, but by end of the year, I weighed again, my body gave the 2 kg away. Anyway, three kg gained is better than nothing. I hope to continue with what I am doing now.

Anyway, my other plans for this year including moving out from my comfort zone.......what do I mean by this? I am pretty sure that I have started to feel comfortable with my current lifestyle, so a change to it is a must....which is why new ME. :D Maybe I can start off by reading more getting more inspiration to blog, and maybe to further studies.

Another thing that I intend to do is to expand my network, and have more outings with my friends and going back hometown less to ensure I have sufficient rest, as I have been feeling tired due to driving back and forth like almost every weekends. I believe that sleep earlier every day would also help to restore my energy level.

So, what are your goals this year and how you plan to go around achieving it?

Gain Weight Progress - Update 1

It's been more than a month since I posted on my goal this year which is to gain weight. Refer to My Goal This Year Is To Gain Weight.


Since it has been about a month since I posted it and really serious into gaining weight, I believe now is the time to talk a bit on my progress and what are the things that I've done in order to achieve my goal.


So, over the last one month or so, I do some light workout daily, well, maybe just Monday to Thursday. My light workout includes push up, about 100++ daily, which is split into 20-25 times per sets and about 4-6 sets each day, depending on my mood and also how tired I am on that day due to other activities.

I also been going to gym, of course only if a friend of mine push me to go, else, I'll be too lazy to go also. At gym, what I'll do mostly is crunch, about 100++ also, which is also split into 20-25 times per sets. Other activities include taking dumbbell and even run on the treadmill. Gym usually took about an hour or so.

Besides working out, I also have milk and protein drink daily while maintaining my diet previously. Had about 2-3 cups of milk daily and the same goes to protein drink and seriously I have been seeing some gain in my weight lately. I managed to gain about 2kg over the whole one month plus, so I do hope to maintain the lifestyle so that I'll be able to gain about 10-12 kg in another 6 months and periodically update this blog with the progress as well.

My Goal This Year Is To Gain Weight

I made it a point to actually set a goal for every year. This year it is also the same thing.....I plan to gain few kilos by end of the year and to have a healthier body. Currently I'm underweight and in order to have a normal weight, I need to gain additional ten to fifteen kilogram.



Gaining weight seems to be the hardest thing to do, I am not sure why. I do not skip meals and I eat plenty of meat, to be honest. The only thing I'm lack of is doing workout. I admit that I've been lazy, but at the same time, I feel that if I just sit around doing nothing, I can keep the limited calories that my body can absorb, and guess I was wrong. A lot of my friends, old and new are gaining weight yearly while my weight was like maintaining for the past few years.


In order to do this, I plan out a light workout to build muscle rather than gaining fats which is not healthy. I will do a fifteen minutes workout either at home or at the gym in my office on Monday, Wednesday and Friday/Saturday. While I was taking of just building my body, my brother advice me to do cardio as well. So, in order to do that I might need another 15 minutes to jog....well, guess better to listen to him as he is the more athletic one in the family.

That's all I have for now. In the future I will blog more about it and maybe whether drinking protein and workout helps in gaining weight.
