Also Can.

Now now, where do I start? I think I'll go with the end result: Sherhong's gonna explore her own solo gymming without me indefinitely.


This started out today. Actually, because of internship, she was only given two consecutive days off each week, so she could only gym once a week (prefers to gym once a week than on two consecutive days). I customized a once-a-week routine for her with quite some drastic changes, she didn't like it and went back to the usual routine. At the end of gym, after we parted our ways for home, she sent me an apology text for scolding me and dropping all the f-bombs (I only heard it once), and then she's decided to try working out alone because she wanted:

1. To be more carefree. She's always late (but that's not a problem to me) and that she wants to do things at her own timing without consideration of others.

2. To be able to adjust to her own so-called weird timing of gym and meals because her internship screws up pretty much most of her timings and she claims that she didn't want to screw up mine too. (This isn't a problem to me either)



I think the problem here is rigidity and flexibility. Personally I used to get angry if I don't get my food every 3 hours because of the 6 meals a day schedule. Currently at intermittent fasting, I'm totally flexible with the mindset of "Also Can".

Gym at 10am while fasting ends at 12pm, ALSO CAN. Fasted training lor.
Gym at 1159am, fasting ends at 12pm, ALSO CAN, reduce fasting to 15h instead of 16h so can eat at 11am lor.
Gym at 6pm, Feeding period ends at 6pm, ALSO CAN, shift the feeding period or extend it lor.

Intermittent Fasting is a LIFESTYLE full of flexibility and very suitable for people who needs to be very versatile, especially in the hospitality industry with freaking graveyard shift hours.

I think some time off alone gymming for Sherhong is good too, helps her to realize her own strengths and concentration levels. Where do I go from here then?

I like to believe that I'm a flexible person. Clip my wings, put me in a room, I'll walk from point A to B.

Remove the clips, in the same room, I'll fly from point A to B.

Now open up the windows, I'll soar wayyyyy past B from A.


I used to be tied down with 2 gym sessions a week due to time constraints in school. When I'm free from school due to the holidays, I was lazy to gym a 3rd time each week since Sherhong gym twice a week too anyway.  When she supposedly gym once a week, I'm sticking to twice a week still. But now, I have no more excuses for myself to slack or relax. Nothing is stopping me except myself (this has always been the case) from going all out to increase in strength and stay 'competitive' to my friends in NS. I've decided to go 3x a week.


3x a week also means SQUATS! I really didn't want to do squats anymore since Monday. I'm kinda sad that now she's no longer doing the squatting, it leaves me the freedom  mandatory exercise to be done.



So far, on intermittent fasting, I realized one HUGE problem I face on workout days. I'm supposed to be about 50% of my total calorie intake after gym, which is about 1300 CALORIES AFTER WORKOUT WTH! MY STOMACH ISN'T THAT BIGGGGG OH MY NONONO! But... Also can, I'll try to eat as much as possible every 15min or so for 2 hours after working out. Its a lot to handle, who knew eating could be the main problem.


I'm currently searching for a totally fresh workout routine from my usual one to give my body a shock and also to try out. I'm not going to stop myself, so nothing's gonna stop me! muahhahaha!
