Week 4 - Monday

Image
So yesterday (Sunday), I had a guiltless Carb day ! I made a sandwich, ate BBQ chips, chomped on Haagen Dazs, peeled at a sweet potato, gulped down sugary cereal with milk. The only thing I didn't get my grubby hands on was beer... :( Maybe I'll let myself have one this weekend. Though Sunday was guiltless and fun, I woke up today feeling a bit bloated. haah oh carbs, we had our fun, but now I am going to do KETO until V-day weekend. Wish me luck. It's only been one day and already a bit hard. But I realized today that chia seeds do indeed help curb hunger, especially since I've been a bit busy and didn't pack myself keto-friendly snacks. This morning I did Kayla Itsines Week 4 Monday Legs  workout, while fasted. Then afterwards I had a bit of fun practicing the forearm headstand.

Although this week was shorter than other weeks (bc of MLK Monday), this week felt so rushed. I am definitely cherishing the weekend right now even though I still have plenty to get done on my to do list. TLC first, I need TLC. Friday, January 23 I had to rush out the house but I wanted an outfit that was versatile and interchangeable from day-to-gym clothes. Think this one hit the mark. Both items are from Macy's and each cost less than $10 a piece! The Ideology tee is lightweight, breezy, and is made of material that wicks your sweat. And the Material Girl geometric leggings are loud, vibrant and.. were probably not meant as gym clothes originally, but no one needs to know :). Friday seemed like a long day, so in the evening I drank some coffee and convinced myself I couldn't waste a perfect outfit by not going to the gym. Forced myself to do volume gaining deadlifts while  looking both cute and badass. Friday night's routine: warmup cycle 7 minutes, volume trai

Jan 20, Tuesday Did Kayla Itsines BBG + HIIT in the afternoon before lunch. I'm kind of a cheater because I only do her circuits one time through then do 2 circuits of 30:30 Jumping jacks. Total is still 4 circuits, each 7 minutes long. This is what I mean: 1st circuit = Wk 3 MON circuit 1 Legs 2nd = 30:30 jumping jacks/jump rope HIIT 3rd = Wk 3 MON circuit 2 Legs 4th = 30:30 jumping jacks/jump rope HIIT Then in the evening after work, I went straight to gym and did squats fasted. Getting stronger! I can actually squat 135 lbs 4x! Where did that strength come from? Must be from "bulking" haha Jan 21, Wednesday - Lazy, Rest day Jan 22, Thursday HIIT 4 circuits of 7 minute 30:30 jumping jack/jump rope Most likely will go to gym in evening and workout the back muscos. Then afterwards sweat it out some more in the sauna. wooo Currently, I enjoy having a countdown timer on the screen while doing my cardio and watching The Biggest Loser . The cast is working
