…just thinking about how I grew up as a kid and how music was a hobby and slowly transformed into a passion. It was all a culmination of people - well, mentors who showed me the primary ropes of music.
I think about these people who could care less about getting popular, developing the “next…

So i’ve been slack with the updates, but to be honest, i’ve been trying to eat as cleanly as I can, but this work has proven difficult with late shifts and what not. I’ve snuck in a chocolate here and there and am feeling mad shitty about it. So will be changing that up this weekend with a visit to the grocery store.
Haven’t done much in the way of working out, but i have put up a weekly workout challenge on my fb :www.facebook.com/mark.t.reyes
Go check it out if you’re bored. Otherwise, have a good Friday and i’ll catch you soon!

Aigh so for lunch yesterday, i had a small cup of brown rice which is cooked by putting it in the micro and a can of green seas tuna in olive oil (drained the olive oil of course)
Went for a quick run around a path (and by quick run I mean I died) out at Sydney park (off Sydney Road @ St Peters). Did about 1.5 laps (will measure the distance later) but it was very hilly … Good guage of where i’m at with running. Afterwards I downed a tiny protein bar I had lying around as I didn’t have my protein shake on me.
For dinner, I ate pretty much after training, had half of my serving of pasta cos of where i was at which had chicken and mushrooms, tried to clear off as much of the cream sauce as I could (I know, carbs before training, but on early shift so still trying to figure this ish out).
Today (Thursday 18th), brekkie I had oatmeal again and a slice of toast with natural peanut butter on it. Munchin on an apple now and will prob cop a coffee in a sec (no milk, no sugar).
Will try keep posting throughout the day.
Be good! Peas!
On the drive into work, I downed a energize choc up and go (350ml):
Calories 301 Sodium 315 mg Total Fat 5 g Potassium 770 mg Saturated 1 g Total Carbs 40 g Polyunsaturated 3 g Dietary Fiber 5 g Monounsaturated 1 g Sugars 25 g Trans 0 g Protein 21 g Cholesterol 0 mg Vitamin A 17% Calcium 50% Vitamin C 25% Iron 29%Did this, cos I know i’ll be training today.
When I got into work, I had a bowl of uncle tobys oatmeal (original) quick sachet, mixed with water:
Fat 3.1g
Carbohydrates 25.5g
Sugars 6.5g
Oh … and drinking a whole lot of water and x1 cup of coffee and hot water. No milk and/or sugr.
As you can see, the nutritional values are layed out differently. Where I can, i try to use teh site www.myfitnesspal.com to determine the details of the food i’m eating, otherwise i’ll just dump it straight from the labels.
Lemme know what you guys think?

Aigh … so those of you who read this blog of mine know that i’ve probably made a thousand gazillion attempts at getting fit.
Don’t get it twisted … this is another one of those times.
Say what you will, but It takes a man to admit he’s failed a few times … I’ll be the first to put my hand up and say that my walk down the fitness path has faltered by the way side quite a few times.
Anyway … i’m not going to get caught up on the whats and whys.
I’m back … im making another attempt. That’s it.
Thanks to those of you showing mad love and support … I can only hope I can support you guys back in your endeavors.
To the haters … thanks for taking the time out of your day to hate me! Appreciate it.
Aight … on with it …
Weight: 110kg

Benchmark run:
x1 lap around the block (just under 1km) : 7mins 04 sec (1min run, 1min walk)
Ok … lets go.
