On the last week of October 2007, my weight was 155 pounds. After five months of serious training in running and participation of road races from marathon to 10K races, I was able to reduce my weight. Few days before the Mizuno Infinity 15K Run, I registered a weight of 142 pounds. I was surprised on my weight reduction and all my contemporaries and subordinates who have not seen me for a long time were also surprised about my reduction in weight and “more skinny” appearance.

My training during the duration of the Holy Week in Jamindan and “no meat-diet” were instrumental in my fast reduction of weight.

One of the bloggers asked me about my diet which I have not answered yet. Well, this is it. I eat a lot of Mang Inasal chicken whenever I am in Iloilo City and Negros Island. I eat also a lot of fish and fresh vegetables whenever I am in Jamindan and have a taste of fresh oysters whenever I visit Roxas City. Fried sliced banana (native saba), Sweet Banana (Lacatan), and fresh pineapple slices from Passi City, Iloilo are my fresh fruits. I drink green tea and lots of water. But my favorite dish is Tinolang Native Chicken & Pinakbet. Two days before road races, I eat a lot of pasta/foods rich in carbohydrates.

I have to maintain this weight to be competetive in my road races and be able to improve my time in my weekend road races.

See you this Sunday at The Fort.
