My Attempts in weight gaining and losing

First attempt:
Diet: In M'sia, most meal taken was eat out. (economic rice and etc).
Results: Gain more fat than muscle mass
Activities: Gym and some sports
Later: loss all of the weight gained and revert back to original state

Second Attempt:
Diet: At Aus, 90% home-cooked meal with literally very low fat and no spices (salt, sugar except tomato sauce). Eat in bulk and frequently.
Results: More muscle mass gained compared than fat.
Activities: Gym and some sports
Later: loss all of the weight gained and revert back to original state

Conclusion:
Dietary pattern is the crucial factor of weight gaining and losing. What you are eating now, is what will make you into.

3rd Attempt: on experimenting
Aim: To discover the burn and lose the fat while maintaining the body size and slower growth
Diet: same as second attempt but eat in moderation and quality of food
Activities: As much as i can get

Balancing energy input and output and theory in burning the stubborn fat

Crazily, since i got my shoulder injured though it healed a bit but i am not gonna let it beat me down (just gotta take precautions) which is the main reason i stopped gym for almost a month (Life's sucks without it) and beginning my jogging mission. Just part of the way to keep myself fit and not being sedentary. And now, probably reaching the over-training stage, incorporating more and more sports along my schedule and how to burn off the fat around the abdominal. It's mentioned by my lecturer that fat can be use as a fuel through aerobic exercises (oxygen needed). Though i know about it, but nvr realize it. LOL... And now, i kinda get drifted away from my study and attentions are on my body. I don't see it as a lot, jog and swim twice a week plus 6 days of gym. Food intake is in moderation and controlled compared to what i eat in my previous post. Gaining is part of it, but maximizing the fat free mass (muscle) and reducing the fat mass are more important. This is the third attempt of my doing in losing and gaining.

When i came back from Adelaide from my last sem break. Supposingly, i knew that most people around me are not that quite active and involve a lot in sports (this is back then in my first semester period). Miraclely, i started asking a few guys and the journey begins, recruiting the people on the way. I would say it's a not too bad for the turn up, around 6 peoples. The people who i invited to jog with me is my beloved Judah 6 group members. This is how i put on the initiative to send out email to everyone informing about this. It was cool and fun afterall. This is like what i used to study in uni, promoting public health :p

Issues, Meaning, Life, Health, Purpose

Life is not all about gain nor loss. The purpose of living and meaning of a life is what and everyone should hold preciously on. Without it, it's like the dark abyss, lifeless, meaningless. Basically, NOTHING.

I am also not too sure what's going on here but i know it is what i wanted to do most and go beyond the set boundaries. Seeing that quite a few of my friends have graduated. Sadly, 1 by 1 having no choice but to go back to their home country respectively. Honestly speaking, event like this is unavoidable cause you have no control over it, and you can't even you tried. Except God, who did the planning for us. Though i have seen, people cried when coming to farewell, the feeling and emotions are unsurmountable. In my eyes, life goes on. I really can't tell whether should i cry or feeling sad about it and what's the point of being in that state. Not trying to be ego or macho or whatever, i don't see it as a necessity. Ain't you should be happy for him or her that he or she is leaving us to carry on their journey of life though i know you would never know when you might get to see each other again. Yeah, not everyone is me nor me is everyone, if not what life can be.

Recently, realizing this, i would suggest that health is the essence of life. As my dad always said that, "No health, no wealth" or basically without a proper health, whatever you got in possession is nothing.
