I don't even know if I should write about this this early especially since the holidays have just finished, but I'll write about it anyway.
The past holidays, I ate my heart out and it was all good. I gained probably around 2 or 3 pounds, but I didn't care so much about that minor interruption because I lost about 15 lbs. last year. I work in the gym real hard and that's why I don't feel bad if I binge for a couple of days (but of course, I know when to stop).
To tell you the truth, I still don't have abs, but I am happy that I am stronger. Of course, I want to have abs one day, but that will come if I focus on building strength. So my mantra now is this: having abs is an extra treat-becoming stronger is my absolute goal.

Where am I in my fitness journey? To be honest, I felt a little stuck around November last year because I've hit that dreaded plateau stage again. My fats have switched on their 'preservation mode' and losing those last pounds was getting harder and harder as the days go by. From regular Strength and Conditioning, I've moved on to Athletic Strength and Conditioning (according to Elorde Makati's standards) and yet losing a pound was still so, so hard. That, plus I have also assessed that my trainer has somewhat lost track of my progress along the way. In short, I felt that I wasn't improving as much as before plus the gym is not that conducive to exercises that will improve my strength, especially the barbel- related exercises, plus the gym's quite far from where I live, to be honest.
In December, I've decided to move on to a new fitness regimen and gym. My Elorde experience was awesome-I owe a lot to the guys there who didn't give up on me, but in life, you have to keep on moving forward, you have to keep on improving.
So I enrolled myself in a new gym called 360 Fitness Plus at The Fort. A new chapter of my fitness journey begins there.
