It's been uplifting to listen to edm djs record their sets online during this pandemic-quarantine. It has also been touching that internet strangers have saved these sets for those who were unable to be available to watch the live streams. I haven't used soundcloud in years, however it has definitely been nostalgic to return to this and remember all the sets I saved in the past to dance along to in the comforts of my bedroom or garage. With the shelter-in-place, I intend once again to use these sets to dance and shuffle around to. Let's get back to uplifting ourselves and finding things that give us inner peace <3 But also, have you listened to edm while prepping and cooking?? It makes it so much more fun and hype! My schedule these days looks like Gryffin with my morning coffee, Tokimonsta while "WFH," ARTY for my workout, and Kaskade or Dab the Sky while I'm making dinner :)

I started this blog in my 20s, now I'm in my early 30s. It's funny how sometimes we remember our past, being nostalgic but mostly full of cringe. My creativity and want to indulge out of my comfort zone has ceased due to the busyness of life and complacency. You're so busy in life that you forget to live your life. And everything is piling up in the "do later" list. However, now that we are in quarantine mode almost indefenitely it seems, it's as if we have to reach into ourselves again to find happiness and satisfaction that is more foundational and simpler. For now, going to venture with the quarantine life and make the best use of this enforced self-discovery again.

I suppose the writer's block has finally been chipped down just a little. I'm ready to be inspired and motivated again. Maybe also eager to revolutionalize myself and continue to make a path for where I want to see myself in the future. It's a path for one, and I am embracing this independence of going with the flow revolving only around me and wherever I may want to explore. Most importantly, it's me truly finding my own happiness and self-confidence once again while strengthening my bonds with my family & close friends. I am loving 2017 so much. Before.. this blog was a timid, inhibited, superficial journaling of my workouts, diets, and adventures. I think I still may be timid and superficial (as in I may not scratch beyond the surface), but this time I will try to leave more lasting impressions and thoughts. The past couple of years I have been so absorbed in one area of my goals -mainly trying to get abs & squat booty while finishing up most of my schoolin

Hello intermittent blogging :) This semester has been extremely busy, but the hardest part has passed for me. I finally have time to take a sigh of relief and work on other aspects on my life I would like to grow in. I know I say this all the time, every year.. but heh, let's try to get some abs for my NYE birthday this year? I think blogging and documenting what I meal prep and what workouts I have accomplished will help me better stay accountable. So, this may not be the most interesting content, but welcome to real life that's busy with a healthy lifestyle! =) Workout today: stairmaster, box jumps HIIT, tire flips HIIT. + sauna Rotisserie chicken egg salad : chopped up apple, celery, onion, cucumber, and rotisserie chicken. Added in walnuts and dried cranberries. Sprinkled garlic powder and black pepper, then coated with greek yogurt. :p delish

Since I last blogged, I have generally been pretty good with my intake of food. Recently, my friends and I also started to snapchat each other of all our meals, snacks, and indulgments to help motivate each other. The idea of not dieting alone and kind of making this a team effort, help make healthy eating more enjoyable instead of being a sacrificing task hahah. But there have been a couple of days when I had some drinks and ate not so healthy according to my diet plan. I think realistically, I'll be having close to 4 cheat days in a span of 20 days. That's 80% healthy eating hmm.. "Going up on a Tueday," and feeling like a rebel.. lol 👵👵👵 A photo posted by D e a d l i f t s🍩D o n u t s (@rawrdianasaur) on May 17, 2016 at 6:39pm PDT Oh well, for each cheat day/meal, I've had great conversations and memories making every day worthwhile & meaningful <3 You have to give permission to yourself to be nice to yourself. Then you continue along

Well, every day is Mother's day , so I hope you remember to treat your mamas (& papas) with respect and love everyday!! Treat them to something delicious or better yet, make them a meal filled with so much love and thought. And instead of making up excuses and complaining, go with an open heart to answer their favors and help with errands. Our parents do so much for us. I only hope that with each day, we try to comprehend all their sacrifices, passion, and devotion to our families. What you know about meal prep Sunday?? With that said, this Sunday (Mother's Day 2016!) I had marked to be the day that I start dieting more wholesome and low carb !  So... my goal is to have 3 or less "cheat days" in the next 20 days. Oh man, it's going to be kind of hard to have low carb snacks ready on hand. But these are some quick bites I consider easy and convenient to make: hard-boiled eggs nuts, fruits protein waffle/pancake greek yogurt ham and cheese rol
