PUSH chest press 3x12 squats 5 sets leg press 3x10 tri pressdown 3x10 shoulder press/y-press 3x10 Yesterday I kind of lagged so I did the workout fasted. I'm personally used to fasting till 1-2 pm so I was still energetic. I did eat a handful of peanuts just in case - don't want to be lightheaded and faint at the gym! After the workout, I realized I like to do cardio fasted but strength training should be done after a solid meal. I didn't feel like my performance was weaker or that I burnt out quicker, but preferably I won't be weightlifting on an empty stomach again. I thought it was so funny that my sweat marks made this face -___-. I call it the "weh" face But this is what I got to eat post workout. Chirashi bowl - some carbs and protein :)

It's kind of disheartening that I've been working out all year for a while; ok there have been lapses of weekday workouts and also falling asleep after dinner... And you know how they say, summer bodies are made in winter... Well, I'm still trying to get to that summer body. However, I have to admit it has been a learning experience and I feel like I am one step closer to understanding myself and my body and figuring out what works and what isn't as effective. I know the best way for me to get skinny and lose fat is an intense amount of cardio. Think of doing Insanity diligently or forcing myself to go through an hour of cycling class. My body needs to be shocked, needs to cry, and needs to sweat.   In these pictures I looked like a typical cardio bunny .  But I didn't have any definition. My stomach was still jiggly looking whereas the rest of my body didn't have much fat (of course I lost some of my boobs too). Summer-Fall 2013 I was the skinni

Stop lounging around  Make some tea and black coffee Pretty yourself up (optional).. yes I'm one of those girls who put on a little bit of makeup for the gym Put on a show/movie and have insanity on the side 

Sia - Chandelier Her voice is so mesmerizing and emotional. The dancing and symbolism of it was hauntingly captivating but Sia's voice captured me. I feel like through her I can experience the essence of her creation. It's amazing! Party girls don't get hurt Can't feel anything, when will I learn I push it down, push it down I'm the one "for a good time call" Phone's blowin' up, they're ringin' my doorbell I feel the love, I feel the love 1,2,3 1,2,3 drink 1,2,3 1,2,3 drink 1,2,3 1,2,3 drink Throw them back, till I lose count CHORUS I'm gonna swing from the chandelier, from the chandelier I'm gonna live like tomorrow doesn't exist Like it doesn't exist I'm gonna fly like a bird through the night, feel my tears as they dry I'm gonna swing from the chandelier, from the chandelier And I'm holding on for dear life, won't look down won't open my eyes Keep my glass full until morning light,

I've been fooling around with the idea of recording myself while working out (after I saw some youtubers record themselves doing insanity). Why? Because when you record yourself, for some reason it makes you more accountable and want to go all out in each movie. haha I workout by myself.. so in a way my sad phone/camera and I are kind of like workout partners. Also... this is basically my first time ever editing a video clip. It's not too bad right? hahah 1 round of Tabata is 8 cycles of 20s cardio + 10 s rest (I omitted the resting parts from the video) Int 1: Burpees Int 2: Mummy Kicks Int 3: Jump rope Int 4: Jumping jacks Int 5: Butt Kicks Int 6: Squat Jumps Int 7: High Knees Int 8: Dips I don't get feedback so I'm not sure if I should keep the 10s rests in the video. Well now that I think about it, it would've made sense to include the 10 s rests so that if anyone decides to workout with me, it'd be in real time.. should've thought of t

Lately, I've been quite down on myself. Feeling blue you call it. I've tried to come here many times to start a post, however I didn't feel like writing anything or putting on a front. I felt so uninspired and just so.. lost. But sometimes you have to fake it to make it. My mom also told me to just smile in the mirror and tell myself that I'm lucky, that things work out. There's the well known psychology fact that smiling, even when forced, can lift up your mood. I've been smiling in the mirror, breathing while smiling while working out (maybe creepy..), and also watching funny shows and trying to literally LOL Yea it does help. Temporarily. But I still need to figure out my life. Guess I'll do it while smiling at least.   Watermelon + Kale + H20 smoothie. Yes I know, it kind of looks like I bought the drink from Starbucks. But no I didn't. I just like to reuse clear drink containers temporarily since you can see how awesome your smoothie is an
