Week 3 - TGIF& the weekend

-

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 training deadlift, cycle 10 minutes, then finish gym sesh in the sauna.

Morning fasted HIIT cardio while watching The Biggest Loser
My meals the whole day were repeat eatings of steak, brown rice, black bean, arugula, tomatoes, onions, and Italian dressing. Yum! Somewhat similar to a chipotle salad bowl.

Sunday, Jan 25
Drank black coffee and did fasted HIIT cardio.
Today will also be my last day... till Vday weekend to eat carbs. I'm going to try limiting to one cheat carb day however. I know if I allow myself to cheat a few more times, I will eventually give myself too much leeway. HEH I ate a sandwich, haagen dazs, sweet potato, brown rice, and feening for a beer curently.
I dilly-dallied most of today but eventually went to gym to do volume training squats and squatted my PR! 145 lbs WOOP WOOP!

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 :)
