Sticking to it.
Yeap. Another long break from the blog. Quick re-cap of the months that passed. Went to Phuket and Bangkok for Songkran in April. Had a ball of a time with my cousins. Good times. Left at 94 kg and came back at 99 kg! And dropped it to 95 in 2 weeks. Everything has been ok so far. My weight loss has kinda stalled for a while. The weight does not seem to go below 95. Varies between some fat loss and muscle gain but I don’t think I gained so much muscle that it makes up for the lack of a drop on the scale. Other than that, diet has been up and down. Usually good on weekdays and a little binge on weekends. Well, maybe it’s the lack of goal setting. Used to have a weekly loss to hit, which I kinda neglected for a while. So I have done that up again.
Dad got really ill the last week. They say he basically flatlined for a good 2 to 3 minutes. He was in the Intensive Care Unit for a week. Was really fucked up seeing him stay alive with the help of only machines. The root cause was his drinking. He drinks a shit lot. This has caused most of his organs to directly or indirectly fail. This basically made me realise that all this sacrifices I am making now might be worth something more than just vanity . My granddad drank a lot and died because of this. My dad drinks a lot. He nearly died. This is one legacy I do not want to carry on. So I am sticking to it. ( The occasional celebratory knock backs/outs are not counted : ) Regardless of weight loss or not.
On a lighter note, today was the first day of the Rebel Boot Camp I had signed up for. Started at 6:30 a.m. and lasted for an hour. It’s a full body workout routine. Nearly killed me. I felt like I was paying to go through Basic Military Training all over again. It’s on Mondays, Wednesday and Fridays for a month. Quite exhausting. And I’m wondering if I should still continue my weight training on the alternate days.
Oh! And I have started training my forearms on their own as well. Need bigger guns for a forearm tattoo.

I’m sorry to hear about your Dad. I hope everything turns out fine. But I’m also happy, that it had a positive effect. All the best bro!
