Monday - 25 days left

Yesterday I checked my mail and finally got this bad boy from Groupon: Jarv NMotion bluetooth earbuds with sports armband.
It has changed my life. HAHA jk, but it's super convenient to not have to wear an armband and just have my phone in my bag or on the table. I can't wait to use this at the gym when I don't have to constantly take out my phone from the armband if I want to text or look up something (haha I know I know, I shouldn't be texting so much while doing my workouts, but at least I do it quickly and after a set is done, right?). o:)

Imagining how it'd feel to have bewbs melon sized.
Isn't this mini watermelon so cute though
Last time I was doing a countdown, or more like a countup of workouts to Halloween, but this time I decided to just do a countdown of days til 12/12 since I seemed to lose count of when I worked out or not.. [12/12 is when I get to see Mr. Marshmallow!] Therefore I have almost 4 weeks to keep working on ma body. Usually at this time of the year I would gladly take out my winter clothes and ya know fill them in more as time goes by. But this year I'm not going to let the seasons stray me from trying to have abs all year-round (no, I still never had visible abs before).

 My plan of action for the next 4 weeks:

  • continue with low carb/keto diet and occasional "cheat" carb refeed
  • Fasted cardio & Kayla Itsines bikini body guide
  • 5 mins of abs/daily
  • go get gym membership asap because I need heavy weights to grow my butt (it has since deflated..)
I've been having a hard time making myself go scout out a new gym. I've gotten quite accustomed to working out at home and really enjoy just running around the neighborhood and sweating it out at home. I would love to have my own fully-equipped garage gym but that's for the future.

Funny story.. so I actually googled "how to get abs in 4 weeks." Eventually I came upon Kayla Itsines' bikini body guide. The before and after results are very motivating and convincing. sooo I guess I'm gonna try joining the bandwagon. Yesterday I tried Week 1 Monday's circuit. My understanding is that there are 2 different circuits and you spend 7 minutes on each then repeat again = 28 minutes + rests in between circuits. And in those 7 minutes you do as many reps of the different workouts as you can (there are 4 workouts in 1 circuit). I was able to repeat a circuit twice in the 7 minutes while just dancing around/jumping around. But it was so tiring. This morning my legs are a bit sore and I didn't use any weights; That's Great!!

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

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 :)
