Hello intermittent blogging :) This semester has been extremely busy, but the hardest part has passed for me. I finally have time to take a sigh of relief and work on other aspects on my life I would like to grow in. I know I say this all the time, every year.. but heh, let's try to get some abs for my NYE birthday this year? I think blogging and documenting what I meal prep and what workouts I have accomplished will help me better stay accountable. So, this may not be the most interesting content, but welcome to real life that's busy with a healthy lifestyle! =) Workout today: stairmaster, box jumps HIIT, tire flips HIIT. + sauna Rotisserie chicken egg salad : chopped up apple, celery, onion, cucumber, and rotisserie chicken. Added in walnuts and dried cranberries. Sprinkled garlic powder and black pepper, then coated with greek yogurt. :p delish

Since I last blogged, I have generally been pretty good with my intake of food. Recently, my friends and I also started to snapchat each other of all our meals, snacks, and indulgments to help motivate each other. The idea of not dieting alone and kind of making this a team effort, help make healthy eating more enjoyable instead of being a sacrificing task hahah. But there have been a couple of days when I had some drinks and ate not so healthy according to my diet plan. I think realistically, I'll be having close to 4 cheat days in a span of 20 days. That's 80% healthy eating hmm..

Then you continue along

Well, every day is Mother's day , so I hope you remember to treat your mamas (& papas) with respect and love everyday!! Treat them to something delicious or better yet, make them a meal filled with so much love and thought. And instead of making up excuses and complaining, go with an open heart to answer their favors and help with errands. Our parents do so much for us. I only hope that with each day, we try to comprehend all their sacrifices, passion, and devotion to our families. What you know about meal prep Sunday?? With that said, this Sunday (Mother's Day 2016!) I had marked to be the day that I start dieting more wholesome and low carb !  So... my goal is to have 3 or less "cheat days" in the next 20 days. Oh man, it's going to be kind of hard to have low carb snacks ready on hand. But these are some quick bites I consider easy and convenient to make: hard-boiled eggs nuts, fruits protein waffle/pancake greek yogurt ham and cheese rol

BBGmeetupOC (April 30, 2016) On a endorphin-high right now cause I got to meet some babes IRL😍🙌, my @polarglobal watch says I burnt 416 calories, & tasted some delectable treats from @the_unbakery! Not bad for an introvert, not badd *insert success baby meme* Happy Saturday yall! . . . . . #polara300#workout#fitspiration#fitspo#bbg#thekaylamovement#bbgmeetupoc#squatspo#girlswholift#healthy#fitness#strongnotskinny#beachbody#justdoit#cardio#hiit#bbgla#nikela#asiangirl#iifym#squat#nike#gymapparel#shesquats#blog#gymlife#lornajane#progress#nike#operationbuildabooty A photo posted by D e a d l i f t s🍩D o n u t s (@rawrdianasaur) on Apr 30, 2016 at 1:33pm PDT I was lucky enough to sign up for the 10 am session. It's so strange on my part.. that I have this weird habit of mentally trying to come up excuses to flake out of an event. I think it's my social-anxiety and timidness to go somewhere by myself. But I'm really pushing myself to not have this mindset a

For some reason I was craving waffles today, but I've also decided I want to eat more wholesome & also less carbs (mostly from bread, sugar, rice however). Therefore, I decided to look up Protein frickin waffles! I noticed there were more "easy" ingredients for protein pancakes, whereas, for waffles there were "more" ingredients. Well.. I guess I'll try to experiment today and if it's a fail, I shall be eating chocalate-y egg scramble. Intriguing Luckily for me, today's attempt was a success! Here's another 3-ingredient no-fluff recipe :D . EASY PEASY 30 g whey protein (or like 1 scoop) 1 egg 1/4 cup water Since I didn't add baking powder, the waffles didn't rise but I'm totally ok with that. For some extra flavor, I drizzled honey and sprinkled some cinnamon. Then pretty much mashed everything into my mouth. Craving totally satisfied without any guilt. yesss I think for next time. I might blend some chia seeds to he

A photo posted by D e a d l i f t s🍩D o n u t s (@rawrdianasaur) on Apr 24, 2016 at 9:58am PDT I saw a super ripe banana on the counter, so I'm glad the little light bulb went off and I thought about Banana pancakes! I've tried it before but only with banana + eggs.. it didn't really come out very well and that day I had scrambled eggs that tasted like bananas. It was slightly off-putting. So today I tried to find a 3-ingredient recipe with oatmeal flour in it. And eventually came with this successful find :D ( Recipe link ) I think having the oatmeal flour helps add texture and a bit of dryness to make cooking these bad babes a lot easier. Although... I still had almost half my batter turn into pancake scramble. HAha! practice makes perfect however. I'm gonna stick with this recipe as long as I have ripe bananas Anddd, it's Sunday! I'm planning to get a workout sesh in today. Debating if I want to do another leg day or BBG. hmm hmm decisio

It's my weeekend, and got so many things to do on my list 😤. But no BS, except for some breakfast&squats cause today is a bootyful day to save lives 🍑😜. Hope everyone is finishing their weekends strong 💪👊 . . .. #workout#workoutmeme#breakfast#squat#yoga#abs#fitfam#fitspiration#fitchicks#fitspo#bbg#deathbykayla#weightlifting#squatspo#girlswholift#healthy#fitness#bbgprogress#strongnotskinny#beachbody#cardio#bbgla#nikela#asiangirl#polara300#eatforabs#gymapparel#selfie#motivation#operationbuildabooty A photo posted by D e a d l i f t s🍩D o n u t s (@rawrdianasaur) on Apr 22, 2016 at 8:47am PDT Although this week was jam-packed with studying and assignments, I somehow managed to take fat naps (11 hrs........) & plenty of restful sleeps. I call it time-managing done well *joking*. However, since I spent so many of my hours sleeping, I was unable to dedicate any hours to workouts this week. Pretty ridiculous xD! But in my defense, I do a lot of walking aroun

You know how sometimes you have a goal-dream-ambition & then you let go of it for a while and forget about it? But then like an intuition the drive comes back full force to you when your soul, mind, and body  are ready for it again.. Past couple of days I've been wanting to blog again. Nothing different has changes or occurred in my days (which I am thankful for because I am very satisfied & happy with the course and pace it is going at currently). I think I want to challenge myself creatively  a little bit and do a little passion project for myself. Maybe it's the spring forward daylight saving time change & my body somehow knows the days will be longer to get more shit done! hooray Maybe it's because I've been listening to podcasts on my commutes, and it has opened up my mind to other areas of growth again and Maybe it's because spring is here now and summer is upon us again soon. Which means, summer bodies right? and this is a fitness-lifestyl

#sweatwithLA The night before, I estimated that commute would take 40-45 mins, locating parking and walking to the meetup would take 15 mins. What I didn't account for was me snoozing the alarm and oversleeping for almost an hour. Luckily my timeline previously was to be at Grand Park by 8am; the workouts would start promptly at 8:45 am. I pick up my friend, and of course it takes us more than 10 mins to actually find parking. Then we speed-walk to the original location of the meetup, but there's another event happening, so we speed-walk to another area of the park. We made it right when they were finishing up the yoga warmup. This was my first BBG meetup and also the first time doing the workouts in a group/workout buddy setting. Although my friend and I whined occasionally: "omgg my abs are on fire; wehh; what, still 2 more mins??" It was a great experience to see so many other girls working out and pushing themselves - that truly motivated me to work hard

Sunday, Jan 17 Ended up cultivating mass|bulking from all the eating adventures - Not even mad 😏😏. BUT, how to not lose the boobies & booty when leaning down 😟?? #cardio#nikela#vans#iifym#bulking#operationbuildabooty#asiangirl#bbg#diet#eatforabs#kaylasarmy#fitfam#gymapparel#fitness#fitspiration#fitspo#girlsthatlift#girlswholift#healthy#selfie#instafit#kaylaitsines#liftheavy#shelifts#workout#abs#squat#stairmaster#belfie#foodie A photo posted by D e a d l i f t s🍩D o n u t s (@rawrdianasaur) on Jan 15, 2016 at 9:09am PST ok, confession : I ate so tremendously much during the past month. December is my birthday month! and also, winter is the season for bulking.. right? (I totally gained some fat in my glutes & chest area however! along with the belly, of course) Honestly, I really don't know how my appetite grew so much and my stomach was actually able to house almost all the things I saw with my hungry eyes. Pretty much, your girl ate very well, and my

Yes Yes, I am a bit late for the hello 2016 party. I've been relatively MIA from social media the past 2 weeks because I tried to stay in the present and embrace every moment spent with my manfriend & friends! While with him, I've hardly had any time to peruse through social media; I've realized how much time I have spent just browsing through instagram, fb, etc - but it's because I had so much independent time for myself. Now that I'm back from the 2 week vacation of visiting my manfriend, I want to continue not being so compulsively addicted to social media - skimming through the feeds a bit more than I'd like to admit. It was quite liberating not being on social media as often. I think I'd like to spend more time reading, listening to podcasts, and generally being better with time-management & efficiency. We'll see though! It's a work in progress and I still want to continue blogging & documenting my progress and adventures :)
