<insert witty line to represent rebirth and new beginnings here>

I think the title says not only how I feel about writing in this blog, but how CLICHE those feelings are. I couldve titled it something like "Rebirth" or "A Fresh Start" or some shit, but I feel in doing so plays up the cheesy cliche of: *flashes cape and smiles like a superhero* "Sorry to keep you waiting, but I'm back with a new resolve! Let's fight evil again!" and so on... *blech* So I left the title for you to name: "Another Try," "Hit The Reset Button," "The Adventures of Captain Blueberry Pancakes!" (my personal favorite), whatever you choose. We already know the meaning behind it, which is more important.

I'm not sure how long I've been gone from this blog. I assume at least since September. I started Graduate school in Sept 09, which effecitively kidnapped me from this blog and proceeded to rape me, project after project. There was so lube, I know that much. Regardless, somehow, I've found a way to still be able to work out, do school, and work my part time job (see: Capricorn). A lot has changed since we last where here. If memory serves me I was slim yet sloppy with a severe pudgy tummy due to west Indian genes I cannot escape. (For those who don't know, it's a common battle for west Indians. We could be skinny as Kate Moss or T.I. and still have a round pudgy tummy.) That was certainly THEN. To keep us on the same page, here is a pic of how I look currently:


This is a picture of the person writing this blog: Me. ...Hi. Waddup! Anyway, I'm currently in pretty fuckin good shape although I'm nowhere near my set goals (which I'll get into). Even though I say much has changed since I last wrote here, most of this physical change started only some months ago, in Feb '10. To answer what I did to get in such a way, I'll break down my methods seperately:

• Wii-Fit did NOT save my life: Essentially this blog now has an invalid title. Wii-Fit did not give me this body. The gym did, simply put. In no way do I claim that Wii Fit doesn't work, although for those who are athletic to a certain degree, Nintendo's charming product will not help bare concrete results unless you play 24hours a day and add methods towards an effect of added resistance to the Wii workouts. I WILL say though: That Rhythm KungFu game is the business. =D

• My Million-Dollar Body Methods: I'm probably the only person to make names and routines and methods as often as I work out. Every week I have a no idea or plan or regiment. Brace yourself as you review my ridiculousness:

1. Total Random Layout (TRL): I often found myself plateauing easily when working out, mainly due to myself sticking with a same routine on safe weights (aka weights I can do. ie. 30-45lbs.) In efforts to fix this, I decide that in every session I'd hit random machines. Did cable cross on Monday? Then do the chest fly on Tuesday! Then pushups Wednesday. Etc. Now as time as passed, the bench is still a mainstay with each workout, but I will switch between incline, decline, norrmal, and champagnes. In addition by swithcing up not only exercises but the weights used, my body is always doing a new action so it won't get comfortable.

2. Doing The Least/Manorexia: I DO NOT ENDORSE REAL ANOREXIA. That being said, this started when I spent $12 on White Castle and only ate $8 dollars worth. I had made a habit of not only buying huge meals and forcing it on myself, but these meals were often Right before bed, aka a BIG no no. It's no wonder I had a pudgy stomach. So I essentially cute out night meals (if I missed eating before bed and was hungry, OH WELL) and made it so that I bought the LEAST AMOUNT possible when eating. I figured that if I wanted more, I'll just buy more and it'll help towards having more meals but in smaller portions. =D I will not lie, the first 3 weeks of this are the hardest and I had moments where I'd "cut ya head bald for some Reeses," But I thankfully made it through and now my ratings have greatly reduced compared to 2009.

<<OMG THERES A HORNET ON THIS L TRAIN!! RUN!!!!!!! AHH!! omg it's MOVING!!!! Omg, stay calm, stay calm, continue the blog... Shit I lost it. Where the fuck is it??? Omg I look like the only crackhead, jerking around in paranoia!!!! ...... Ok I'm out the train, safe. Where was I?>>>

3. National Body Embargo (NBE): this actually starts tomorrow and it's "national" cause invited others to join in with me. Essentially it's a restriction where you may NOT eat past 10pm nor can you have any juices, just water/tea/diet oxygen. The goal is to finalize the goal of no night eating and since juices = sugar = fat = Jesus won't love you, it has to GO too. Besides, I could use more water in my life.

Those are the current regimes in place as of now and I wanna say, that's it's been working. As proof here are some pics as of today, 4/25/10:

If we compare the pictures of olde, the level of pudge currently went down. Especially when fewer from the side. You barely see any difference there :) for today in particular, Im moreso proud of myself because I worked up to 60lbs dumbells. Usually I dabble in 30-45lbs, but I won't get better by just doing what's comfortable. I have to push myself!! So I essentially did 4 sets of bench pressing. 45, 50, 50, 55... And 4 sets of incline benching. 45, 50, 50. After those. I did 2 sets of 60lbs on normal bench. Proud. Also to be clear. Sets were reps of 13-20 and in between each lift I did other shit: lat bar, cable cross, dumbell lifts, barbell curls, pullups, etc. =D #accomplished My short term bench goal is to get to 75lbs on dumbells, like the big boys do. As a reference, my goals for short term are:

1. Beach body for Miami trip
2. Bench 75lbs dumbells
3. Perform front and/or side splits
4. Learn to hip roll and make a video.

(See: )

Well that's all I can say for now. I hope I can still try to inspire though. Although last time only 4 people max knew of this blog. Lol... here's one more pic:
