Week 1 workouts

-

haha this is a little embarrassing.. putting pictures up of my progress but I want to be more open and candid with my fitness journey. So I'm kind of laughing at this before and after for my first week because of how 'drastic' it is. The picture on the left was from the past Sunday after July 4 celebrating of eating, drinking, and no working out. And the right is a pictures from a yesterday morning after almost a week of lifting, eating low carbs mostly, and morning cardio sessions.
Quick advice. The night before the 'before' picture, make sure to eat some pizza and a burger then wash it down with a cold beer. When taking the before pic, remember to jut out your guy and then you'll have a 'drastic' picture ;) It can possibly trick you and motivate you because of how much progress you have made in a week!
haha actually, I lost 4 lbs though. It's mostly water weight I'm assuming but it's been stable at -4 lbs :

Anyways I kept track of my workouts this week. I think this week I will work on adding more cardio because my endomorph belly needs it :(

Tuesday - Back/Biceps 
Assisted pullups 4x15
Wide grip lat pulldown 4x15
Seated cable row 4x15
Bent over barbell row 4x15
Standing/squatted row 3x15
DB curls 3x15
Hyperextension 4x15

Incline DB press 4x
Cable flyes 4x15
Butterflies 4x
Straight arm pulldown 3x15
Plate row 3x
Tri pushdown 3x15

Thursday
Deadlifts til failure
For this I usually start with 95 lbs, then keep adding weight. 115, 135, 185. For a few months I have been stuck at 185-190 but after a week and a half of not deadlifting I jumped to 205 lbs :D I am super ecstatic about that. It's crazy how I had such a difficult time deadlifting 95 lbs when I started around Dec 2013. I more than doubled that in half a year! And I train by myself too, no workout buddies :/ 

Friday - Killer Legs day (It's Sunday evening and my legs are still incredibly sore)
Squats 5x and mostly to failure
Leg press 3x10
Standing leg curl 3x10 
Butt blaster 4x10
Abductor 4x10

haha wow today I spent quite a bit of time on Pinterest organizing my old likes and boards. It's one of those sites that really suck up your time because you invested so many things you want to save for a future project or for your future in general. But the one disadvantage is that I've collected so many things that I pinned to look at later, which I have forgotten. I want to kind of get into a habit of looking back at them (while not wasting too much time) and bringing them out into action. Monday Breakfast: Banana, cinnamon, honey Lunch: Chopped Thai chicken salad   http://pinchofyum.com/chopped-thai-chicken-salad Dinner: Chicken, egg, cranberries, apples, nuts, onions, greek yogurt salad eat with veggies Tuesday Breakfast: Omelette wrap omelette wrap Lunch: salmon with yu choy inspirations.. Dinner: Cucumber salad with greek yogurt, tomato, avocado, salt, black pepper. Add chicken or tuna Wednesday Breakfast: blueberry chia

One thing good about having gone to a small private school was that... everyone knew of each other, or at least recognized their faces. Obviously, that could also be a huge disadvantage. But being an alumni means that we have this small yet strong connection of 'networking' and when you bump into someone from your school, it's not that strange to hang out with each other even though back in school the only contact we might've had was taking a course together or bumping into each other at a social gathering. Well that isn't really the case here because I'm close to these awesome ladies here and Mr. Canada (let's call him that) was my ex-roommate's big so we're all interconnected and I have fond, fun memories with him from my undergrad years. hokay.. that was a slight tangent, my bad FRIDAY Anyways, I haven't seen Anabelle and Lexi in a while so through their beckoning I answered their call and sang/drove my way down to SD. I first meet up

Check out this link for some laughs:  http://www.buzzfeed.com/snuggalo1/the-10-stages-of-trying-and-failing-to-get-in-shap-9yb8  Oh I freaking love the memes Basically it is a short summary of our lives, possibly? Break free from it though! I want those abs and a booty! It's still spring so there's still plenty of time to sculpt :)
