Accountability June 17~23

Hi guys! Last week's accountability report is a bit late because I just flew back from Peru. It was peppered with unexpected incidents, but over all it was a great trip--I got to cross Machu Picchu off my bucket list!

Because I was on holiday and didn't have access to the gym, I've decided to track my exercise by counting steps using my Fitbit. However, I feel that these numbers below don't do the physical exertion justice, as we were at 3500m above sea level and the air is literally thin. Imagine hiking! So with that in mind, below is my accountability report:

• Mexico City day tour 11,126 steps (at sea level)
• Cusco city tour 14,000 steps
• Sacred Valley tour 14,719 steps
• Machu Picchu 20,134 steps
• South Valley tour 16,340 steps
• Consistently followed intermittent fasting diet for 3 days (Very hard to decline breakfast buffet and scheduled meals during flights...)
• Personal milestone: I was able to climb up steep stairs/terrain at high altitude. I was a little puffed, but I wasn't puffed out--and it only took 1~2 minutes of rest for me to recover to resting heart/respiratory rate. All the training has paid off!
• Personal realization: I am very sensitive to racism. I didn't think I would be, but I am. During this trip there were times that I felt discriminated against; it takes all the positive thinking I have to not let it ruin my day nor turn to reverse-racism. I will go into more details in another blog post.
• What I can improve on: drinking less alcohol (something I neglected while on holiday), doing more yoga and stretching (I really haven't been doing this at all during this trip), studying more and procrastinating less (to make up for all the time lost). And spend less money!

That's all from me today! Have a great week ahead!

Accountability June 12~16

This week is cut short because I'll be traveling to Peru tonight! Hence from tomorrow onwards I'll be tracking my exercise in different ways. But so far this week this is what I have:

-Boxing circuit 30min x 3 times
-Brazilian jiu-jitsu 60min

I took some time off because of severe period pain this week... Sigh... But I've tried my best and that's what's important.

Accountability report June 5~11

This week the weather was wonderful so I was able to do more outdoor activities!

 

• Bike riding 90 minutes 
• Boxing circuit 30 minutes 3 times
• Brazilian jiu jitsu 60 minutes 
• Outdoor running 45 minutes 
• Outdoor strolling 150 minutes

 

• Consistently followed intermittent fasting for 5 days
• Personal milestone: got off my ass and started studying! And started up brand new podcast www.medonthego.podbean.com
• Personal realization: don't take everything so personally! Sometimes what we perceive as an offense or slight or embarrassment is actually nothing--we obsess because we care too much and are too self conscious. If we just stop doing that, the world would be a simpler place.
• What I can improve on: update this blog more! Do more yoga and stretching, use the roller foam more.

 

That's all from from me this week! Happy weekend for now!

Accountability report May 28~June 3

I almost forgot that one of the reasons I wanted to start this blog is keep myself accountable. So from now on every week I'll post a status report to track my progress towards better health.

For this week:

• Boxing circuit training 30 minutes 4 times
• Brazilian jiu jitsu 60 minutes
• Consistently followed intermittent fasting diet for 5 days (so far)
• Personal milestone: won a cute T shirt for an attendance challenge at the gym! I hardly ever win anything, let alone for sports!
• Personal realization: how people treat you says more about them than you! The problem is usually theirs, not yours!
• What I can improve on: drinking less alcohol, doing more yoga and stretching (especially before BJJ), studying more, and procrastinating less

There! Done for this week! Have a great weekend y'all!
