I wrote in a previous post that I was ‘officially’ declared underweight by the doctor who gave me the physical exam. I was around 4+ lbs underweight, weighing only 103lbs and standing 5′4. This was last January 31, and I’ve been hitting the gym every other day and wolfing down 2 servings of rice each day since. I reduced my meat and sweets intake, though.

The trainor assigned to me at the gym will have a grand/hard time shaping me up.
They sent me some lovin'
