My Journey with my 1Pac

Hey friends, I'm back in OC.. I had the most awful flight getting back from NYC. It started of with the flight being delayed because the left engine wasn't powering up so having to sit on the tarmac for over 2 hours whilst they fixed the plane. Wait lets go back a few more hours.. the day began with me missing my train to the airport and having to call a cab to take me to JFK.. the cab driver was from.. PAKISTAN.. so guess what we spoke about.. politics!!! Checked myself in, requested an exit seat because of the extra legroom as I'm 6' 3" TALL (not wide.. but close tho) and sitting besides me was a 6ft5 dude.. and i thought to myself uh oh.. the battle for the armrest begins.. initially i thought i wont put my arm there and nor will he.. so there ain't any touching moments between us.. cos my flight was going to San Francisco (SF is famous for gays..and I've had my fair share of guys liking me). So anyway what does he immediately do.. take t

Greetings strangers, friends and family.. As you may have noticed there was a brief increase in postings and then it just went quiet. I think i should take a moment and explain myself. As you know i was in Orange County, California when i arrived, however I have now relocated to Long Island, New York at first it was for a few days but seems i will be here a wee bit longer probably 1st week of August. Don't worry i won't stop the posts or my journey as with anything in life we have to make detours, wrong turns and try not to get lost on the way. So thank you for your continued support and please keep reading.

Hiiiii everyone... Since Thursday.. I have dropped an incredible FOURRRRR POUNDSSSS (only way i could make the number appear larger than it is). OK so 4lbs my first reaction...meh.. just 4lbs...i need to up my game!!! I dunno.. consistency i guess is the key. Another amazing workout today. Walked to the gym.. 2.5 miles in 43mins (yes I'm precise).. cycle for 45 mins (it was like interval training.. level 10 ride at 75rpm+ for 2.5mins and then 100rpm+ for 30seconds) and finally 30 mins on the elliptical. Lets not forget the weights session also. In terms of food: Breakfast - protein shake, Lunch (i over indulged) 2 tacos with grilled chicken and lettuce, Snack - munched on baby carrots (sooo yum), Dinner - had some funky weight loss shake..that really filled me up.... Today, whilst at the watering hole (water fountain at z gym) a member of the club said they spotted me walking on the streets of Irvine.. i told them my story and they were impressed.. i felt it was a go

I guess my American followers won't get this (a cereal called Rice Krispies by Kellogg's in UK).. but boy are my joints snap..cracking n poppin.. not literally!!!! I'm not sure what its called... (according to wikipedia its called cracking joints) but all i know is my wrists (no i haven't !!! whoever is thinking that), fingers, shoulders.. basically everywhere i keep hearing cracking.. not sure if that's a bad thing.. I had a great workout today.. used a machine called an arc trainer.. this machine is like a funky elliptical the only difference being its TOUGHER and makes ME SWEAT!!! feels like I'm gonna drown in it. I'll tell you one thing.. makes you feel awesome when you look like you've just come outta a wet t-shirt competition. I also started my strength training programme that went really well (i no longer zap out of energy..YAY!!). The only niggle i have is my right ankle is hurting.. but its no biggy.. o and guess what... drum roll

you all remember that song by Aqua - Barbie Girl.. (here's the YouTube link if your not sure http://youtu.be/ZyhrYis509A ) well i was at the gym yesterday. There i was cycling and i notice this old lady walk up the stairs.. and shes STARING at me.. and I'm thinking why is she staring at me.. but as she walked away i realised that her stare was in fact static... and it was a moment of revelation.. light bulb moment.. the chick had obviously had a face thingy bob done.. and this was her normal look.. i suddenly noticed all the mature women looked the same like a factory production of OAPs (over aged pensioners) ..maybe they have the same surgeon (but who i am to talk..when my belly looks like im having triplets). I chuckled to myself and thought welcome to Newport Beach... where life in plastic is clearly the norm..

Its your lucky day people.. o BTW.. thank you for all your support.. you know who you are.. no names will be mentioned (no not cos there isn't anyone.. or that I'm being sarcastic) As your all aware.. or not.. the sports club is about 2.5 miles walk from my apartment.. so i walk to the club and back (and workout when i get there.. cos whats the point then.. duhhhh). So on Thursday i had a training session with the "legend" Sal.. So he tells me weights are as important as cardio.. as it helps build up our metabolism and your body burns more calories when its repairing itself.. etc etc... so he walks me through my routine.. and we get to the most dreaded machine in the gym... THE SQUAT MACHINE... omg is all I'm gonna say.. my butt was hurting for 3 days after.. at that point when working out on the machine.. i wanted to tell Sal.. i hated him for introducing me to my nemesis.. but i will conquer thee and my butt cheeks will be as sexy as Jessica Alba (

I've been getting a lot of people emailing me and asking me to update my blog more often.. I'm sorry.. I'm obviously still a lazy turd. The problem is when I'm at the gym or walking i think of what to write.. when i come home and nurse my pains.. i forget.. So what happened your all wondering.. on the 5 th July... Well.. we had a new dude move in..lets call him Sam for arguments sake. Sam is prone to drinking excessively.. when Sam returned home he was intoxicated and his GF turns up, realising hes drunk.. walks off.. as Sam pursues her she continues to ignore him..So he returns home and decides to go ape shit (crazy for all you American readers). As i sat in my room i came to the conclusion best place for me to be was as far as possible from this "event". When i came outta my room, Sam asked whether i could come with him to buy some fags (no not male prostitutes.. cigarettes) we are about 1/2 mile from our place and we see a fire truck.. 2 amb

Hi everyone.. Firstly i would like to apologise for not updating this.. for what may seem forever (it does to me).. i have much to write about.. but i guess i wasn't sure.. as to what the contents should be. Should i just talk about fitness and nutrition only.. or also discuss my emotional state.. what i mean to say is - make it more personal. Although at first i felt it would be quite invasive but i guess this blog is as much as for me as it is for you. I have always felt that I'm an emotional eater (not attempting to justify my size) and I suppose i couldn't leave this aspect of my life out because hopefully when i read this again it will remind me of various scenarios i may find myself under where i end up resorting to food to provide that quick fix.. but this journey is as much about making the right choices not only when I'm happy but also in any other given situation.. as life can't be just one happy tale. On a lighter note.. I will be posting pi

Hey Y'all (do i sound like an American ) I went today to the hottest sports club in Orange County.. first impressions as I walked up to the club.." WOW.. this place is huuuge and look at all those shiny expensive cars parked outside"... as i walked through the entrance.. i felt i was walking into a hotel lobby.. everyone was soo friendly.. so far so good. I had an appointment with Kathleen ( should have taken a pic and posted it here.. will ask her tomorrow).. she was AMAZING.. she took her time showing me around the whole place.. no hard selling.. just letting the facilities do the selling.. introduced me to Sal (the dude lost 140lbs... isn't that freaking AWESOME).. as well as the GM, Tom, he was very friendly and seemed like a cool dude..I am really happy about today..glad to have found this gem (get it.. gym...changed to gem.. funny right..oh come on laugh) I would like to say a BIGGG thank you to Kathleen for all the advice she gave me..probabl

I have created this blog for two reasons, firstly so everyone I know can follow my progress. Secondly so that I may hopefully inspire someone else to take a leap in a similar journey. I intend to bring together all the knowledge I have acquired into one place.. ranging from Nutrition, whats a good workout regime, how to overcome physical/mental hurdles. Well its Sunday.. I've left sunny England in exchange for Orange County, California. I arrived last week and I have begun my journey.. so far I have walked 12 miles to Newport Beach and back home..i loved it.. but my feet didn't. I've rested my feet this weekend, tomorrow I plan to check out one of Orange Counties sexiest gyms ( no not the eye candy).
