Daily Happy Thoughts

Right.

That was the title of the post that immediately entered my mind (talk about being a blogging addict LOL) when I heard of the funny story recounted to me about our brother Andrew just this morning.

You see, Andrew has been on a mission to lose weight and he has been regularly working out as well as watching his diet in order to achieve it. Now, in the gym where he works out, an officemate of mine, Danny, also regularly works out there too. Danny’s is about 160lbs, and his build is nowhere close to the size of Andrew, who weighs around 210lbs. We have been teasing Andrew because his regular bench press load is just around 80lbs while that of Danny is around 120lbs.

Now here is where the funny part comes in. Perhaps our constant teasing has struck a nerve in him, as this morning, he tried upping his load to 120lbs. For his first 15 repititions, he had no problem. Normally, after that many repititions, a break was needed to rest the muscles. However, he tried pushing further and was on his 17th repitition with the bar close to his chest when he found out that he could no longer lift it, and was in danger of being buried under it. At this point of the story, we all burst out laughing as we could almost vividly imagine the sight of him perspiring and under the mercy of the weight. LOL!! I couldn’t help it. Even as I am writing this post, I still can’t help but laugh at his ordeal earlier. Good thing it didn’t take the trainor too long to see that he was in trouble and was quick to bail him out. Weightlifting, in this case, indeed is dangerous to the health.

With all the trouble he’s having at losing weight, I might just recommend that he try these weight loss pills. From what I’ve researched about those online, I found out that these pills works in three (3) ways. First, it contains ingredients that increase one’s metabolic rate, thereby helping you burn more calories. Second, it contains active ingredients that gives more energy, causing more calories to be burned during exercise. Lastly, these contain ingredients that suppress appetite. Now this is quite significant since in a survey conducted, appetite control has been the major factor 70% of dieters cite as the reason why they fail in their diet.

I do hope he will be open to this option as he is still quite pissed at me for repeatedly teasing him and mimicking the sight of him under the weights.
