To those that are following the Project Sexy Beast outline before... here's the results.
I'm still undergoing maintenance on the diet, but not much activities lately since I'm running on a tight budget.
But here's the outlook.
I started the plan around January 2010. You'll see a picture on how I looked before. Waist line was at 36 and everything I wore was on a Large size. And I weighed in on around 180 lbs.
When I finished the whole plan at around March 2010, everything went down. I'm starting to wear Small sized shirts now and waist line is at 32. I now weigh in at around 157-160lbs.

March 10, 2010: Post Birthday Weigh In
2nd week of march.
No Workout during the 1st week of March since I was sick with cough and colds.
Food trip since it was my birthday week.
Weighing in today was scary.
In this video I tell why.

161 lbs: Call for Change
Now that I'm clocked in at 161 lbs and almost everything is trimmed down from where I was when we started. Too bad I didn't take a picture of myself when I began to showcase where I am right now. Maybe Men's Health Phils should check me out haha.
Anyway, here's my current workout schedule on top of my daily 30-35 min brisk walking from work and coming home.
Monday - Basketball
Tuesday - Boxing
Wednesday - Boxing
Thursday - Boxing
Friday - Rest
Saturday - Basketball
Sunday - Rest
Everything is trimmed down. My weight went down from 178 or 180lbs to where I am now... at 161lbs. Everything is great, I feel light, and the buttons on my shirts aren't popping out. Despite those changes, I'm still not satisfied. I still have these flabs around me. This is why at this point I'm adding a little more body weight lifting in my regiment. Operation Sculpting is now in effect.
Mornings would begin with my usual 5 min ab-workout that includes:
1 minute front planks
1 minute right side plank
1 minute left side plank
1 minute crunches
1 minute reverse crunches
I'm adding 3 sets of 12 rep push ups with 30 sec rest period in between sets. This will help me build some muscle mass to help me eat up the remaining flabs I have on me.
On top of that I'm adding 3 sets of 15 rep squats with 30 sec rest period in between sets too. This would also help me out with burning more calories and start the day right.
Before the day ends I'll repeat a lighter set of that ab work out that instead of 1 minute of each, I'll just do 30-40 seconds of each. Pushups would still be there along with the squats. These would happen after the workouts.
Since we're in operation sculpting, I'm looking to change my weekly workout routine to this.
Monday - Basketball
Tuesday - Boxing
Wednesday - Swimming
Thursday - Boxing
Friday - Rest
Saturday AM - Weight Lifting
Saturday PM - Basketball
Sunday PM - Weight Lifting
I'm not sure yet if i'm going to enroll myself in a gym (per session base) or just stick with my weights at home and body weight lifting.
My diet would still be intact. With a little of 2 months left before my summer season begins, I'm looking forward to at least trim out the belly that I've carried on me since my youth. Let's see how things would go with this new workout plan.
Suit Down!

Day 21 and Day 27 Pre Feast and Post Feast
I haven't been up to date with my vlogs lately. Just been busy with the workouts aswell. And last weekend, I was busy with eating too.
Friday me and my friends went up to Tagaytay for a feast! Before, I usually end up having food coma after eating at Splendido.
Of course, I got my favorite there, Chorizo Carbonara and their Paella which has always been the bomb!
Saturday I went out and didn't go through my usual basketball night (same goes this sat since I got 2 shoots and my brothers birthday)
Sunday I rested
Monday basketball was cancelled. Instead replaced by the HSausages gathering which had me eating Steak!!! (not a whole slab though) but enough to make my intestines feeling all ripped out.
So here's the videos of the Pre Feast and the Post Feast.
Day 21: Post Boxing, Pre Feast
Day 27: Post Feast Morning Weigh in on my Wii Fit
HELLZ YEAH! 161.5 BABY!!!!! 1.5 more for glory!!!!

Diet Principles
from Mens Health Magazine
#1
To lose weight and change your shape, you have to raise your metabolic rate to burn more calories, even when you're not exercising. One of the main ways to keep your metabolism stoked is by constantly feeding it. If you eat six times a day -- in the form of three meals and three snacks -- you'll stay satisfied and free of cravings while avoiding the daily metabolic highs and lows that make you more likely to overeat.

The Rule of Two (The Wingman Philosophy)
The Rule of Two, what is it? What does it had to do with Project Sexy Beast? Uhm, I don't know... I thought it would just be cool to name out something... NO! In fact, it has everything to do with it.
The Project Sexy Beast is something that no man can do alone. You must need someone to bring along the ride with you. This is a challenging challenge right off the bat, so you need to dare and challenge someone to have this challenge challenged! You need a partner, a sidearm, a sidekick, a wingman. Off the annals of history, right before Lapu-Lapu defended the shores of the country against foreign objects, The Rule of Two was written.
Men, by nature, needs to be challenged, motivated, pushed… or be proven right. The Rule of Two is designed to do that very thing, and like what was said about 100 or so letters before this one, going through Project Sexy Beast needs this rule, The Rule of Two.
Project Sexy Beast is like life, in fact… Project Sexy Beast (or what henceforth be known as PSB) is life itself. It breathes by itself, it has its own identity, it is an entity on its own and that should be carefully treaded on. That being said, no one goes through PSB alone. Going through PSB alone would mean compromise every step of the way, it means that you’ll have a cheat day… PSB doesn’t have cheat days, PSB doesn’t have compromise written on its vocabulary, PSB lives and breathes as a dictator for your success and awesomeness to become THE Sexy Beast yourself.
The Rule of Two, is just simple. The Rule of Two’s gist is to have someone go through PSB together. This ensures that the two of you are going through the same thing together. Like I said, PSB is a tough nut to crack, it’s strict, and it deprives you of life’s pleasure, using your taste buds. With this rule applied, you will make sure the 10 commandments of PSB is followed especially the 9th (do not covet your neighbors food). This person should be as serious as you are and you should be as serious as the other person is. This is a partnership, a fellowship, a Jedi and Padawan… or it’s more of a Sith Lord and an Apprentice. Since PSB has an agreed deadline and goal… at the end of it all, there shall only be one Sexy Beast.
There’s no known directive or guidelines on how The Rule of Two is applied, all throughout history, The Rule of Two is unique in every application. In some occasions the rule is applied with a big bet along with it, in this way, the Sexy Beast will not only acquire the title, but have gained a prize for him/herself too. There are also known occasions that the rule is applied with morbidity having one kill another for the title (since there shall only be one in the end). This was written in the annals of what is beyond this world, in fact it’s from a galaxy far far away. A person who was formerly known as Anakin Skywalker killed the Sexy Beast of their time who was known as Palpatine who is also known as Sidious. Sidious did this with his master Plagueis too. The rule was also applied during the time of Maverick and Goose where Maverick made Goose appear to have met an accident during an exercise fly around the gulf. Goose never reached back the Aircraft Carrier alive, Maverick in the end challenged another Sexy Beast of another group who was called IceMan. PSB and the application of this rule goes hand in hand, it also consumes you as you go through the path of Sexy Beastdom, so I advice to tread carefully.
I will leave you with the guidelines of The Rule of Two.
Guidelines for The Rule of Two
1. The rule of two is bound upon the timeline and goals set under the article of the PSB guidelines.
2. There shall only be two people involved under the rule of two.
3. The two people that are involved in this agreement should be going through PSB at the same time with agreed goals and timelines.
4. You can be creative on what agreements that will befall between two parties with the application of this rule.
5. The rules that were agreed upon should be followed strictly and should have punishments ready for the failing party of the rule.
6. Honesty is vital.
7. Any party that is guilty of holding out the truth should be punished accordingly.
8. Any side bets made outside the rule of two is allowed for extra motivation.
9. Be careful of the other party for this rule will really bring out the worst of any person. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.
10. In the end of the PSB’s timeline… there shall only be one.
Good luck! Stay Healthy! Stay Sexy!

Day 16: Rest Day/Cheat Day
I felt under the weather last Friday so I didn't go through my rigorous training this weekend. Instead I tried to regain the strength that I need to go through the next week.
I had light meals from breakfast lunch snacks and dinner. during friday.
Saturday was different though, after my shoot we went to a local (in our village) food stall called Outbox and had the Quickie Cheesy Beef. It's a rice bowl filled up with blue cheese and beef. It's goood. I gobbled it up and had Tofu chips for snacks in the cinemas after the shoot.
This week is something anew... Basketball tonight, boxing in the next three days then wham bam! weekend again. See you!

3 Things You Don't Know About Fat Loss
from Men's Health Magazine
1. Squats may burn up to three times more calories than previously thought, according to a new study in the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research. They're also great for packing on muscle. Every workout in our plan features this classic move.
2. Aim to drop 20 pounds this summer and you can look great. Men who set higher expectations lose more weight, report researchers at the University of Minnesota Stick to the routines on this poster and you can expect to shed 4-5 pounds in your first 2 weeks, and 1 to 2 pounds a week in the months that follow.
3. The calories you burn in a 30-minute job may not matter as much as you think. More important is your calorie loss when you're not exercising. Intense weight training elevates your metabolism for 36 hours. So you lose weight all day, and build bigger muscles.
These are the things that I find helpful in my goal to hit 160 by the end of march. I'll continue posting more tips from articles that I find off of magazines and the internet.
Some of my friends who are reading my blog are already starting to join in on Project Sexy Beast and here are some of the stuff that I believe that could also help you guys attain your goal.

The New Workout Plan
Alot of people that I know are already asking what I'm doing that made me strip off with the fats that hugged me all my life.
I guess it's starting to show and I can't deny... I'm loving the attention! haha.
Well here's the update... Before I started this, I weighed in at around 175-178 lbs.
Size 36 pants were the norm for me, and my stomach sticks out like a sore thumb on every clothes that I wear. The medium shirt that my mom bought me for Christmas almost popped when I tried it on. In short... I was chunky.
After 2 weeks (currently on Day 14) Size 36 needs about 8 belt holes to keep the pants on. The shirt my mom gave me suddenly fits me. And my stomach that hugged me since I was a kid is starting to say bye bye. In short... I'm no more chunky. Now people ask me... "What are you doing?" to which I answer... ALOT!
I've always wanted to reach my target weight which is between 150 - 160 lbs. This year I just started to push myself to reach 160 by the end of my birthday month, which is March. So that should be a clue for you guys... if you're going to get me something (nudge nudge wink wink). To spice it up, I made a bet with a few friends. If I reach this goal... I might get a new shirt from either Topman or Zara and Board shorts from Billabong (I'll definitely going to need a new one now that my old ones are coming off as I swim). If I lose these bets, I'm going to get a friend new shades from Charles and Keith, her choice, and treat someone to dinner in Outback. Now that's motivation for you. This is a bet that I CANT lose.
Now... to answer the question "what am I doing?" here's the workout plan.
Monday - Basketball
Tuesday - Boxing
Wednesday - Boxing
Thursday - Boxing
Friday - Rest
Saturday - Basketball
Sunday - Rest
Now that's on top of my usual 30-45 minute walks from the condo to the office during workdays. And of course, you can't go on with losing that much weight if you're not following a strict diet. Here's the 10 commandments I gave myself.
1. There Shall be no other meat besides White (Chicken and Fish)
2. Honor your Fruits and Vegetables
3. Thou Shall Not eat anything Oily
4. Thou Shall Not eat anything Fried
5. Thou Shall Not eat anything high in Sodium
6. Thou Shall Not eat anything high in Sugar
7. Thou Shall not drink sodas and juice
8. Thou Shall avoid fast foods
9. Thou Shall not covet your neighbors food
10. Thou Shall not have any meals after 7pm
These commandments are strictly followed unless compromise is really needed. There are no other choices and you are already starving, yes I will rather eat what is not allowed than starve. Starving is still a no-no. Like right now, I'm in a meeting in a client and SBC Ensymada is served for snacks. Even if it's filled up with butter, cheese and everything that is not allowed, I'd still eat some because they gave it to me.
My usual meal intake are seen on my (almost) daily VLOGs. You'll see that I only eat wheat bread for breakfast, sandwich for lunch, fruits/bagels for snacks and veggies for dinner. I take alot of water and banana in between since Banana's help alot to lessen your sodium.
I would also like to share my mentality when it comes to going against the commandments. I would like to introduce "1 Step Forward, 2 Steps Back" Mentality. This is in ratio of my workout with my food intake. It's simple, write this down.
Whenever I work my butt off and sweat it out, It always equates to taking a step forward.
Whenever I compromise, even if it's just for a small serving, it would always equate to two steps backward.
This mentality always pushes me to workout more when I eat something that I shouldn't eat. I remember that day that I was in a client that served a Regular Yum for breakfast, T-Bone steak for lunch, and Brothers Burger for snacks. These meals are within 2 hours intervals. After our meeting, I went straight to the boxing gym and went for 6 rounds of boxing (2 more from the usual 4) then went for another 30 minute swim after. That's how guilty I feel whenever I compromise. Sometimes succumbing to these circumstances makes me want to cry. This is how dedicated I am to my goal (160 lbs by the end of March).
This plan has worked for me so far. It's giving me good results aswell. With alot of encouragement from your friends, painful results if you lost your bet motivation, and alot of discipline... you can probably get these results too.
Again, I began this program on the 15th of January 2010. Today, 28th of January 2010 marks my 14th day and I've already lost around 8 to 10 pounds. I started around with weight fluctuations between 175 and 178 lbs. I'm now carrying the weight of 167 (based on my weigh in this morning). 7 more pounds towards my goal of 160. And my friends, 160 is just a beginning... I still want to push to 150 lbs by the end of this year. I'm done being the chunky guy. Time for a change.
Additional Reminders:
Measure your waist line before you start.
Weigh yourself daily at the same time. (I do it before I eat breakfast usually around 6am)
By this way you can see how you're keeping up with the program.
Only have one mode of measurement. I use Wii Fit because you can easily see what your weight is compared to the weighing scale that usually hold small numbers and lines.
Be aware that you'll be burping and passing gas... ALOT!
This is, according to some reading, because of your stomach probably shrinking from its usual bloated state.
When you're hungry eat something.
We don't want to suffer from ulcer.
Stay safe, healthy and sexy!
Encouragement!!!

When you're hungry eat something.
We don't want to suffer from ulcer.
Stay safe, healthy and sexy!

Day 13: Post 9 Rounds.
After a 2 day back-to-back boxing training. I'm pooped, exhausted and fatigued. I slept at around 8:30 pm and never looked back.
Even right now as I type this blog, I still feel tired.
Anyway here's the log of Day 13.
Weighed in the morning (as seen in my previous VLOG) Wii Fit clocked me in at 168.5 lbs.
Ate wheat bread for breakfast
Ate fish and a few rice for lunch
Snacked on a bitesize dark chocolate Toblerone, Banana and a pack of Sky Flakes.
Veggies for Dinner.
It's all worth it. Because when I weighed in this morning (1/28/2010) Wii Fit clocked me in at 167 lbs. All worth it!!!!
Pushing it for glory! Woohoo!
Today I might opt to just go for a few laps in the swimming pool... or I might just box it out again, we'll know later. See ya!

Day 12: 9 more rounds of Boxing
Day 10 was a Sunday rest. Diet was still intact with some compromise. It's just hard when I'm in my parents house, home-cooking is just that awesome. Good thing in the condo I have my wheat bread, bananas and salad.
Day 12 was my Monday Basketball day. Went to work and had a good egg breakfast with tuna. We went to the client that served us pansit and chiz whiz'd sandwhich. Played ball then ate KangKong and Beef Siomai in Chowking (bad move...)
Day 13, Tuesday and that meant Boxing day. At work I just had a sandwhich for lunch and a bagel for my usual 3/4PM snack. Went to the gym around 5:40ish and went for 9 rounds of boxing! Awesome awesome. Core workout was tough with the medicine ball... my trainer rolls that ball on my belly hard! let's me harden up my core and rolls it there hard! haha anyway here are my vlogs for the day... and my weigh in this morning.

Breakfast: Small serving of rice, scrambled eggs, spanish sardines
Lunch: Beans, Beefsteak (didn't eat that much)
Snacks: Bananas, Wheat Bread/Spanish Sardines, Small serving of Spaghetti

Day 7: 6 more rounds!
Day 7.
After a tough day 6, I thought I'd get back to my usual diet on Day 7.
Little did I know the office served up lunch (Buddy's Pansit Canton and Pork Barbeque).
I had a few Pansit and 1 stick of BBQ. Small serving of spag in the afternoon to set the pace.
I brisk walked myself from the office (taking the stairs from the 10th floor down) to the condo (a good 30 minute walk) and changed quickly to head off to the gym.
Worked myself to another 6 rounds of boxing and gruelling core-workout.
Went home to eat a banana, drowned myself in water, a pinch of fish, and a few greens with cucumber to wrap the day up.
To sum it all up... I feel exhausted. Perfect for my rest day today.

Day 6: The boxing gym and the vlog
Day 6 was a bad day in terms of diet.
We had a whole day meeting with a very generous and hospitable client. If it was any other day I would've loved them very much!
So I had 4 slices of wheat bread for breakfast, tea and water (loads of em).
Sometimes I can't imagine how much water I chug down in 1 entire day.
And right when I arrived at the clients meeting room... Jollibee greeted us good morning.
It was a Regular Yum (TLC) regular fries and regular coke. Though I ate the burger and fries... I didn't get to chug down the drink.
Lunch arrived and it was a thin slice of, what I think a poorly cooked, T-Bone steak. Didn't eat that much of the steak and didn't get to eat that much rice.
So the meeting pushed through and a few more hours later... mid-day snacks arrived... and it was a Brothers Burger. I ate it. To much dismay... I ate it.
I wrapped the day up inside the boxing gym. Pushing myself for 6 rounds! with alot of running and sweating in between.
Ate veggies for dinner (with balsamic vinegar as dressing... yum.) with tomatoes and hardboiled eggs.
So that wraps up Day 6!
weighed myself at 6:00am this morning (1/21/2010) on the Wii Fit board, and I didn't gain nor lose a pound... Could've been better... could've been worse.

Day 5: 1/19/2010
So this is day 5 of our Project S.B.
So here’s the charts of what was eaten and done during the day.
Breakfast: Scrambled Eggs/Tuna/Whole Wheat Bread
Lunch: Mediterranean Chicken Sandwhich from Olivers (a half of it)
3 pm Snack: the other half of the Sandwhich
Activity: 45 Minutes of Swimming
Dinner: 2pcs Whole Wheat Bread w/ Cream Cheese and Banana
I also passed by the boxing gym that day and finally enrolled. So today (1/20/2010) I’ll start looking out for gears that I could use for boxing. Wraps and Gloves. They’re selling gloves over there in the gym for 2 grand. I guess I can manage to get some there if I don’t see any Everlast brands in Toby’s later.
