RTP Group Shred Weekly Accountability : Week 1, Day 24


Today is the start of the 2nd part of my Shredding Phase. This is also the start of the weekly accountability of the RTP Group Shredders ("Shredder Council"- blog links on the right hand nav). I will be posting every Sunday to see for any visual progress. My goal is to shed-off the remaining fats in my body and become ripped on or before January 08, 2008. I weighed 150 lbs this morning and hopefully replace my remaining body fats with lean muscles as I run through this 2nd shred phase.


Here are my pics:

RTP Group Shred 14 Day Challenge : Day 14




The 14 day challenge started during my Day 161 of Week 23 routine (since I decided to shred fats on May 18, 2007) and finished on November 8, 2007( Day 175 of Week 25). The challenge was very exciting. I set my goal to be ripped by Day 14 on the challenge. It's up to you to judge if I made it or not. Here's what I've got:

It so fast!!! It is hard to imagine that it is the last day of the 14 day challenge. However, this does not mean as the end of my goals as well as the "Shredder Council" that was founded during the challenge. I think this is the start of a greater accountability for each and everyone of us and the start to kick-off for a new level, a new challenge. This challenge has ignited the fires to start the momentum towards fatloss and to have a controlled healthy lifestyle. With the purpose to gain back control of their lives, to gain confidence and overcome their old form to embrace changes in their lives, for the best.


My great gratitude to for RTP Shredder Council founded by Adam Waters and for the camaraderie I have become part of. A bond that was started with a challenge so must it continue to remain and put pressure on us all and remind us that we have set goals and committed with it. Your eagerness to attain victory, commitment towards the goal, focus on staying on track, appreciation given to each and everyone, and positive feeedbacks that boosted so much courage really helped a lot. As I have said, this is only the beginning, a stepping stone towards another level. Always remember that we'll be checking with your progress, "Shredder Council".





Keep on shredding hard!!!





Still and will always be on shredding mode,

A great day! I compensated my workout today due to the unplanned rest day yesterday. I started and finished my workout routine with interval speed cardio on the treadmill. Picture was taken before lunch after my workout.

RTP Group Shred 14 Day Challenge : Day 11

This is a non- exercise or shall I say, rest day. My whole day was hectic, got to do assignments for my 6PM to 10PM post graduate class. The pictures were taken at about 1AM in the morning after I returned from a 1.5 hour ride from the school.

Here are the pics :

RTP Group Shred 14 Day Challenge : Day 08

Halfway through the challenge. My first day for the new routine, it's harder than the first one, I think. I did not even use my ankle weights, but it required a lot of my strength to complete the circuit intervals with a minute rest. I will try to lessen my rest periods in the next session to 45 seconds and add my ankle weights for additional intensity.

Below are my pix for Day 08:







Keep on shredding guys!!!

Happy Halloween!!!

RTP Group Shred 14 Day Challenge : Day 07

This is a late posting for Day07, since yesterday is a All Saint's Day, a Halloween holiday and haven't found any access to any computers. I spent the whole day as my real rest day.

Here are my clean meals all through out the day. I do not count calories, I just make sure to eat smaller portions during my meals. Here they are: 1/2 cup taho, orange-mango juice drink, banana-Q(2 piece fried banana coated on sugar caramel), Bicol Express(Bicol delicacy composed of taro leaves, lean pork meat, coconut milk, chili), macaroni soup with chicken and veggies, plus two separate rounds of mixed banana & mango shake with powdered milk.
