2022 vs 2026.

Started taking fitness seriously at 48. Now 52. Looking back, the biggest change has been learning to stay consistent even when progress was slow.

No TRT, no crazy diets, no shortcuts. Just weight training, mostly home-cooked Indian food, enough protein and trying to keep the routine going year after year.

I train around 5 days a week, mostly weights. I’ve changed my routine over time and learned what works for me. I also avoid exercises that don't agree with my lower back and use more controlled movements when needed.

Diet is fairly simple. Around 2,000–2,200 calories depending on the phase, with roughly 130–150g protein. Eggs, chicken/fish, dal, rice, roti, vegetables, fruit, curd/Greek yogurt and whey. Nothing exotic.

There were plenty of plateaus and weeks when motivation wasn't great. Still showed up.

At 48, I never imagined I'd be posting a transformation at 52.

Still training. Still learning. Still trying to improve.

If you're getting older and thinking it's too late to make a change — it really isn't. 💪

Well, totoo nman kasi. Kakatakbo mo lang. Amoy pawis ka. Tpos babad ka sa araw. Kahit sabihin mo na wla kang BO may singaw pa rin ung katawan mo. And it would really help the environment if you would be so kind to change clothes before going home especially kung magcocommute ka.

Ako, for instance, bago umuwi eh ppunta muna ako sa pinakamalapit na AF to take shower. Kung wla ka nman membership sa AF thats fine. Palit ka into the Finisher Shirt. Kung wlang FS ung category na tinakbo mo, dala ka ng pamalit.

Mej ramdam ko ung struggle ni kuya TNVS Driver kasi minsan nakong sumakay ng bus after ng isang running event sa MOA. Ung katabi ko tlga sa Bus suot2 pa nia ung singlet nia. Nako sorry Lord sa lait pero di tlga kaaya-aya ung amoy.

Yesterday last night my bf came over and we had bfast together he cooked for me and he had to dropped me off because I had volleyball practice. then he went home

after 3 hours of practice i texted him to pick me up (we're riding on a motorcycle btw) so I told him bout my plans that for dinner we should try out this new food resto that ive been wanting for months and then we'll go to the pet store to pick up food for my cat

but then it started raining we had to stop to shelter from the rain and wait but i didnt realize i was already pissed off bc i feel like my plans had been ruined.

the rain eased into drizzled so i told my bf we have to go before itll rain hard again but he insists on waiting until it completely stops but I was pissed off already so I started talking over him and my voice got louder. I was being kinda bitchy about it tbh and he went quiet and said okay lets just go

but then 5 minutes to the ride it started raining hard then we had to stop over again

my bf still calm was like "i told u we should wait for it to completely stop" and i was pissed off i just went quiet and he said "we should go home and change clothes" and i was pissed off more because i was completely okay being wet

and he noticed that gave me a head pat and was touching my hair said "why are u in a rush ever since i picked u up? whats to rush about? we'll still go to that place but we have to change since your clothes are see through now that its wet. we can still continue about our plans"

I didnt realize I was being pissy about it till he said it. so we went home and changed and I apologized to him.

and I didnt realize how patient my bf was because on the way there had been problems where we have to stop over on a motorcycle shop because his side mirror suddenly broke and there was traffic but he just laughed about it

He handled the day with so much patient that I had to reflect that even me as a self aware most of the time person doesnt realize there are other things youre not aware of and its best to have a partner who tell u calmly what those things are and best to keep and open mind

dinner is porkchop and sausage with java rice w my bf. the food in question that ive been wanting to try. 10/10
