Image
Fasted cardio : Insanity cardio power & resistance + CHUCK (tv show). definitely need workout music next time and then evening Back/Biceps workout -assisted pullups, chinups, dips -shoulder pressdown -tricep pushdown -squatted back rows -close grip lat pulldown -135 lb deadlifts wooo Oh man so today at the gym I saw a girl putting on makeup with fake lashes and doing her hair. So I assumed she was done gymming for the day. But while lifting weights I see her strutting through the weights area to the yoga class all dolled up with a super cropped shirt and low, tight yoga pants. dang girlll, you do your thing! Tomorrow's cardio: I plan to try @Bskyfitness stairmaster HIIT routine. I'm usually doing steady-state stairmaster at around level 9-10 so I hope this routine is effective :D

Day 1: insanity plyo + 3 mile stairmaster

October is almost upon us! that means Halloween and scantily clad costumes? just keeding. However, just in case I have an outfit that bares the bellay... I am incorporating more cardio cardio.. *shudder* anyways 5 implementations for the next month: 1. CARDIO Well, today's plan was to ease back into cardio but I think I made a grand entrance. Did all out bawls out  fasted insanity plyo  while watching Once Upon a Time and playing a workout playlist on Spotify. 2. IIFYM/Low CARB less than 100 g of carbs daily and most of the carbs will be eaten for breakfast/lunch. iifym ratio 30c 40 p 30f 3. spice up my life Cayenne pepper + lemon water Turmeric powder + juiced apples and oranges 4. continue on with strength training because I love it more than cardio Plus it will make my metabolism faster and torch fat more quickly? :) Cardio + Weights = BAM BAM double whammy I better have abs for the first time in my life Oh speaking of abs. I came upon an " ab calcu

New food obsession

hehe, if you read my blog once in a while you know I have random food obsessions. This time it's: poached egg ! but more specifically MICROWAVED poached egg Gawd, poached egg is so awesome. That rich, creamy, runny yolk making love to everything it caresses. HAH here's some yolkporn  to remind you of how sexy poached eggs are (I have been too overeager to take pictures of my own yolky egg so I googled some hehe) Salmon eggs benedict Open faced poached egg sammich Oh holy moly, kiss me   poached egg burger fapfapfap. Oh but anyways, I did not know you can cook an egg in the microwave. The microwave at our house is kind of weak so I have to microwave for about 1:30 to 2 minutes, but I love this method of cooking perfect poached eggs. :) never have to wait for water to boil! On a fitness note, I have been avoiding squats for a few weeks mainly because I couldn't get over a plateau of 115 lbs and it is a little uninspiring.. But last week I

What I didn't do yesterday, is made up for today

Monday : lackluster fasted cardio Gym ("legs") -box jumps super set with lunges and split squats -box jumps super set with jump roping in place -box jumps super set with squat jumps -abductor machine -sauna I am very weak in lunges, it is so difficult for me. I think it may be a balance/core thing or maybe my right side is more dominant and my left. Therefore I do body weight lunges for now which still make me quite sore the next day. Lunges is an area I can improve on. So yesterday was like a cardio day because all the booty growing machines/racks that I needed were taken and I didn't have time to wait around. Anticipating a rigorous workout, I made yesterday a high carb day too (50 C, 25 P, 25 F).. oops don't think I worked out hard enough for that. (Keep in mind that I am trying IIFYM for the first time so I am really just experimenting with my body and fitness right now.) Tuesday: Today's battle plan. Have to make up for yesterday's -

IIFYM hot cheeto stains

You know you're doing IIFYM right when you realize your pointer finger and thumb are stained red from hot cheetos while you are paying for the low-carb Carl's Junior burger. HE HE HE So last week I tried macro counting/percentages/IIFYM for the first time and I think my body is liking it. However, at times I did indulge in junkfood (ie: ice cream, beer, chips, etc) and I am going to attempt to do macros the 'clean' way this week to see if results are faster. Also, I have realized that if I eat junkfood, it leaves less room for other meals thus I am a little hungry too (even though I eat 1500-1600 calories) We shall see! Experimenting :) Anyways, it is fasted cardio time this wonderful, gloomy Monday morning which I am hoping means rain shall fall upon southern California! Fasted jump roping time! but usually what i mean by that is shuffling, dancing, hip thrusts, belly dancing, booty popping, unce unce-ing while having either Insanity or Grey's Anatomy play

Curls for the Girls

I've kind of been obsessed with wanting a nice, cut back.. in addition to trying to grow my glutes and shedding stubborn belly fat while trying not to lose my God-given nicer mounds of fat above. I want so many things T_T. Does that make me a motivated, goal-oriented, go-getter? Yes yes, let's just say that instead of labeling me as someone who isn't satisfied. So, I started doing the Macros,IIFYM, Flexible dieting thing. hahah hype?? I'm not sure, but so far my body is going well with this uncertain flow. I've also been eating 1500+ calories when before I would unintentionally be eating below 1200, sometimes even eating at around 1000 (unintentional! I've just been eating 'clean food' that were not caloric-dense therefore I was always full). Now I have more carbs in my diet and I'm loving it! Anyways today's workout for Back and Biceps (did it in fasted condition): assisted pullups, chinups, dips one arm lat pulldowns closegrip la
