1. Woke up right in the middle of a really messed up dream. I dreamt I had slept through my grade ten science exam and the teacher was sitting in my closet, waiting to confront me. When I woke up though, I seriously thought it was happening for real. So I slapped my head in frustration and then laid there trying to think of the best excuse to tell my teacher. Upon opening my eyes however, I was so confused as to where the heck I was but upon realizing, I bursted out into crazy laughter... hahaha. That was one whacked dream!
2. Did weight training in the morning; trained chest and back. I use to be addicted to training chest once I started to see that it was taming the loudness of my 34D chest. I've dropped two cup sizes in the past year and so now I don't go so hardcore with chest training. Now my focus is going to be more so on my back on chest/back days. I'm aiming for a killer-V back.
3. It's a bit discouraging that I had to lower the weights for a couple of my exercises but I blame that on the two month break I took. Boxing is wicked cardio and really helped me to get more definition but it can't fully replace my need for area-targeted weight training.
4. Read an interesting article on Bodybuilding.com about "Carb Cycling". The main point of the article (two articles actually) stemmed on the notion of carbohydrate manipulation. The plan dwells on three different kinds of days: high carb days, low carb days, and no carb days. I love the thought of being in control and the power I have of sculpting my own body and the feeling that comes with seeing results, so I spent some time today revamping my routine schedule and eating plan accordingly. I've always been a fan of the 3-day split and getting into the gym 6 days a week so that each split can be done twice, but I'm going to try the suggested plan in the articile. I plan on taking tomorrow off of weight training and starting this new schedule on Wednesday. Should be interesting.
5. Yes, that was me some of you saw on the MBC ESPN Sports channel today. Actually, that was the big joke of the evening. Junior Mint claimed I got more air time on TV at his boxing match than he did... hahaha.
6. Junior Mint and I are both hoping that I'll be able to nab a fight on the second weekend of February, which just happens to be Valentine's Day. I'm trying to stay positive and focus on my training and dieting as if I'll get the fight but it's still in the "maybe" stage. I hate the "maybe" stage. repeat. It's hard, it's not fun, it makes me a bit cranky and makes me daydream about stupid things like bathing in loaves of bread, gasping to consume the air when I pass by bakeries, and thinking about robbing bakeries, but it definitely gets results.
7. Mi Nam got cardinally invited by none other than Junior Mint to come hang out at the boxing club while I train tomorrow... hahaha.
8. Got wicked news today... Buff Boy the Original is returning to Cheonan on Sunday, February 1st!!!! My wangtta days are soon to be over... or so I anticipate.
9. Q's obsessed with this Korean drama called "Left of Eden"... "Out of Eden"... something Eden. Thankfully it's only on Monday and Tuesday nights cause I can't stand Korean dramas. They always seem to consist of crying girls, fighting boys, and crying girls that slap the fighting boys and then expect them to buy them flowers and chase them. No wonder so many Korean girls have this whole "Princess complex"! I sit in my office while he watches it and I make him turn the volume down real low when the girls start crying or screaming... which usually means most of the show is watched quietly.
10. "I would rather live my life as if there is a God and die to find out there isn't, than live my life as there isn't and die to find out there is." This is a quote I read at the bottom of a forwarded email I got today. Honestly, for the most part I simply delete emails as soon as I see that they've been forwarded, but tonight I read this forwarded email. I love the quote but it kind of freaked me out too, to tell you the truth.
QUESTION OF THE DAY...
What's on your plate?
QUOTE OF THE DAY...
To keep the body in good health is a duty... otherwise we shall not be able to keep our mind strong and clear.
-- Buddha
As the story has it, one day I headed to the opposite side of the globe – the Flipside. I arrived in Korea February 16th, 2005 and thought I’d do a year, then leave. I was wrong. I stayed, launched my first company, Flipside Fitness, and then opened Korea's largest boxing club, Hulk's Boxing (now called Hulk's Club).
After 11.5yrs in Korea, I then picked up one day and returned to Toronto, Canada. But then I left again.
Now I live in the Philippines where I am the CEO and head coach of Empowered Clubhouse, the Philippines' first and only boxing clubhouse exclusively just for women. I also am the founder of the Lil' Sistas Project, CEO and designer of Slay Gear and Baa Baa Black Sheep .Ph.
