Week 4 - a recap

Tuesday, Jan 27

Workout: Didn't workout this day.
Still ate low carb/keto & kept full with the Costco Mamma chia blackberry hibiscus drink. A bit too sweet for me but the whole bottle only has 64 g of carbs and it can last you for a whole week. Also, I rearranged my clothes and truly found out how many sports bras I own! Seeing all the sports bras I own, I feel like I should be a buff girl by now! haha why is getting abs and growing a butt hard?
I must like food too much? That must be it.

Workout: Fasted cardio in the morning 4 rounds of 7 minute HIIT
Ate Souplantation but stayed away from the carby stuff (pasta and baked goods).
In the evening after work, I felt like doing more cardio since I had a buffet of veggies earlier o:). Did Kayla Itsines week 4 Wednesday (arms & ABs) workout. It also helped energize me to work on my research paper.

Finally done with my month long course that I had to wake up early and drive through traffic M-F. I. hate. traffic. and. commuting! O M G. I do not know how people commute to LA every day. I would definitely be miserable and annoyed.
Having my month long class made me realize that I took my time for granted. But now I appreciate even more the time to read, to workout, to blog and to basically prioritize my time so I can do everything I want to do in a day! I was never a morning person, but I'm going to continue to try to be morning person because I feel like I can accomplish more.

 HIIT 30:30; this is the interval timer I created :)

Today we decided to eat at Joe's Crab Shack for the first time. hehe they give you bibs for the steam pot. There's my "hangry" selfie while waiting for the food.

MMM  the seafood was pretty great! Our family decided it was a bit pricy, nevertheless we enjoyed the food.

-The crab legs were too tiny for us for too much effort.
-Mussels and clams were babies too
-Lobster claws were good!
-Scallops were too salty
-Seasoning was good good good
-The broth with the Samuel Adams was quite intriguing. I think I will attempt to make a seafood broth with beer in the future!

Today... I decided to make it a carby day since I spent the day with my family. We ordered a party tray from Sushi boy. Though I don't really consider this sushi, it was very filling. haha all dat rice.

I also alloted myself a beer and chips while watching the Silva vs. Diaz fight.
HAHA! I love watching UFC fights.

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.. Dinner: Cucumber salad with greek yogurt, tomato, avocado, salt, black pepper. Add chicken or tuna Wednesday Breakfast: blueberry chia

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 :)
