Drunken Panda

Overall Goal:  Get healthy. Been in hospital with colitis for a week. Again. No more weight or 'bodybuilding' goals. Need to focus more on internal strength/energy to get and stay healthy.

Fit Status:  Healing slowly. Probably not going to get much training done before the New Year. Slow and steady.

Motivation Level: 2/10

When I Started:
How I Started:
I was born with a hole in my heart. As a result, all my life I was (and had felt) thin and weak. When my 17th birthday came, I made the decision I was going to change. I began training in my room using bodyweight exercises. When I went to University a year later, I joined the Kung Fu club and have busted my ass ever since. I now hold a Black Belt grade in both Contact and Lau Gar Kung Fu, and am a qualified instructor. With will and time, I will become a living titan.
Why I Love It:
Strength is an absolutely vital human quality - it not only encourages health and confidence, but one day might also save your life or the life of someone you love. How can you justify not developing this quality when the stakes are so potentially high? It's in my blood, heavy and hard, give it all you've got - I can't be any other way.
How I Stay Motivated:
Stop whining. Just do it.

Forum Signature:

Goal (Overall):
Get healthy. Been in hospital with colitis for a week. Again. No more weight or 'bodybuilding' goals. Need to focus more on internal strength/energy to get and stay healthy.
Goal (Long):
I was born with a hole in my heart and, in January 2006 was diagnosed with Severe Ulcerative Colitis. My health has taken a beating, my body has been damn-near broken...but I don't give up. Ever. I've finished hibernating, and I'm ready to kick ass and take names in 2009! 1: Live a healthy life, managing colitis. 2: Take my strength, speed, conditioning, flexibility and all-round physical capabilities to preternatural levels. 3: Do so while living a life of ethics, honour, creative power and titanic potential. I am not a man, I am dynamite. It begins…now!

Another aggressive flare-up of colitis. Another week in hospital, hooked up to all manner of tubes, chemicals and, at one point, an oxygen mask. Another terrible week in a year that has seen me in and out of hospital with this thing like a yo-yo.

I'm out now. All 158 Lbs of me....

Workout Program:
Due to another bout of colitis and subsequent cold/chest infection, Super Squats program has ceased. Which is a shame, because it was working.

New program coming soon...once I heal and get my baseline health/strength back.

Expect things to be more...internal.

Hey Panda - not much going on here - traveling as usual. Went to Louisiana a while back, New York will be next (2 trips for a total of 3 weeks), and then Japan. Hope you are doing well!

Weight is the same. Body fat is the same. I did have a few cheat meals the past month so I understand the standstill. It still sucks though! How are you?? Didn't you go on holiday (isn't that what you call it?)?

Not sure what my new goals are yet, but probably similar to my old ones...! LOL My digital scale broke a while back, so I am getting the old-school dial scale (less accurate, but less likely to break) instead. after I get my current weight, I will make some new plans to get back to where I was. Of course, I am still traveling all the time, so I may have to rely more on cardio, because a lot of hotels don't have much in terms of weight-training equipment.

Your plan of getting ripped sounds good - like you said, may as well look as good as you can! While I struggle to lose weight, I souldn't want to trade places with you. You have my sympathy, but more importantly - you have my encouragement! You are always trying to think outside the box,a nd come up with new ways to work through your condition - kudos to you & keep up the good work!

Hey Panda - somehow I responded to your earlier email with a comment intended for a new friend - sorry about that! Sounds like you are still having some struggles - sorry to hear about that!
