Fitness Journal #4 - Achievement Unlocked!

I've always been a skinny kid - ever since I was a little boy, I was small and skinny. When I had my growth spurt in lower secondary, I shot up, but I was still stick-like. I had those skinny 6 pack abs that every skinny guy who exercises has.

Anyway, back to my main point - I have always been skinny. Along with being skinny, my weight has never crossed the magical 64kg barrier. I'm not sure why, but the most I ever weighed in at was 64kg, and I would waiver there, and fluctuate down. And since my uni years I've been about 60ish.

Today, after about 2-3 weeks of a 5-6 meals a day diet (my diet is here), I decided to weigh myself when I came home...

65KG!


Woohoo!

Now I'm debating whether to continue pushing and try to hit my target weight of 70KG, or to start to add in cardio to my routine (atm just doing weight training 3x a week) and try to cut down my body fat while maintaining my weight. I'm leaning towards the latter, but I'm just afraid later I lose back down to 59kg then back to square one lol! But ok la, shouldn't, with my eating extra everyday. Gogogo wish me luck!

Fitness Journal #3 - The Weight

One of my goals for working out was to put on weight - the initial target was 70kg, but that seemed unrealistic so I lowered it to 65kg. But in actuality, I don't really care about the weight. I just want to look bigger. And stronger. And more muscular.

Got Diablo III a day before everyone else!

The title kinda gives away the point of this post, but before that, just a quick writeup.

Diablo III is scheduled to released on May 15th (tomorrow) worldwide, with servers going live at 3PM. There has been much hype about the release of this game, due to the makers Blizzard Entertainment being a reknowned game publisher, and Diablo II and I were successful franchises.

To be honest, Diablo isn't the best of games - it's pretty simple  in terms of gameplay (point and click) and is not as complex or visually engaging as some other RPGs that I know of. The skill/talent tree is nowhere as complex as other games (such as World of Warcraft or even, ugh, Maple Story). But somehow, the game is just THAT popular.
