5/12 til Hawaii - so far this week :)

-
ok so it is Wednesday and so far I have been pretty good with working out and generally keeping my diet low carb. Except, I am wanting, such want, a donut!
Must restrain and see how effectively one week of dedication can show me.

Things I have been working on so far:

  1. Documenting my food helps me stay on track and be mindful of the carbs. I've been letting most of my carbs be fruits (except sometimes I've been allowing myself cereal in the morning) hehe "healthy breakfast" food
  2. Satiating myself with lots of water & tea. And also drinking a full cup of water first thing in the morning.
  3. and also not dilly-dallying around much in the morning and forcing myself to do fasted cardio asap. Or, if I'm not planning to do fasted cardio, I try to eat breakfast to fuel me up for a lifting sesh!
  4. doing more cardio by adding it in after lifting. So, I have this pretty great rule: I only allow myself to watch Friends when I'm doing cardio. I choose to do stairmaster, cycling, and/or inclined walking. It's a great incentive for me to do my cardio and also makes it more enjoyable! :D

I'm definitely trying to push myself this week and prove to myself a week's worth of dedication will be evident. Which will then  push me onwards for the next 6 weeks! :D

General guideline of workouts for the rest of the week.
I'm not too strict on myself, but this gives me a great plan of action!

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 :)
