Day 9: I want to be a badass

-
Been watching Chuck and seeing the female protagonist, Sarah Walker (Yvonne Strahovski) do killer moves and kick ass with hand to hand combat. All of a sudden I want to learn martial arts and become a certified BADASS.
 

I think it would also be awesome to have the skill to use a stick, pole, katana, sword. >:)
So, I am adding become a badass into my goals. Pretty excited!
Day 9 (Saturday)
I woke up well-rested and decided I didn't want coffee! On days I feel a natural motivation I try to stray away from unnecessary caffeine. I heard caffeine addiction and withdrawals are not so cool.
Anyways Saturday was supposed to be a SQUAT day but this day I realized it really means = do every other workout while waiting for the squat rack. I had a great workout sesh however:
-wide grip lat pulldowns
-close grip lat pulldowns
-deadlifts
-then finally some squats. 
Unfortunally by the time I went to the squat rack I was a bit tired, understandably, so I was only able to do about 4-5 sets. (I wanted to do volume training Squats 10x10). Although a busy gym may not allow me to have the perfectly planned workout at times, at least I didn't waste time and had a great impromptu back session!

Afterwards I headed to the sauna and did some yoga-meditating-stretching (kind of like bikram yoga). Great great great way to end your workouts. Also if you put your hair in a bun you can get mermaid-esque  hair :P
I'm obviously on an endorphin high when I took this picture. Was quite happy and ready to continue on with Saturday.

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..

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

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 :)
