Saturday On this day I decided to try out Cellucor Super HD . haah why not, I wasn't planning to go anywhere. I don't know how to describe the effects of preworkouts. Do I say the "come up" was kind of sudden? Or the energy "hit" me a bit intensely in the beginning? haha I'm just kidding. It did make me jittery and a little sick in the beginning. Also made my heart beat faster or maybe some anxiety kicked in. Soon enough however it tapered off and I had a decent cardio session. I think it definitely gave me some energy but was not very long lasting as I had anticipated. I did notice that my hunger and appetite was suppressed for a while (I was mildly starving when I woke up in the morning) but hey, this girl's appetite is never really gone :). I ate fine after my fasted workout. Hehe, I think I have 2 abs that are trying to pop out.. but they're a bit fatty. I'll take it though, progress is still progress ^_^. On this Saturday I also f...

{ VS  tulip workout tank// Volcom  shorts} Thursday : Did Kayla Itsines ' week 1 Monday+Wednesday circuits. Meaning I combined both days so I only had to do a circuit once through = 4 circuits in total! Wednesday's workout is a lot of ab work 0_o. Also cute workout shirts motivate me even more :) This tank makes my back look sorta muscular.. haha I've been doing  pullups/chin ups when restless and bored at home. Also been doing pushups . I think they have been beneficial especially since no gym membership yet. Friday : Was planning to do uphill sprints first thing in the morning, however not enough willpower for that and body is just so stiff. Good thing there's week 1 Friday workout + another good HIIT playlist I found. I don't usually crave sweets but was feening for cookies so decided to make protein cookies! :D I got inspiration from this super simple recipe:  Greatist protein cookie Roasted soybean powder Since I'm generally a bad baker I ...

On Monday I did ab tucks and ab pikes with the stability ball and crunches while waiting for dinner. I was still a bit sore from Kayla Itsines's workout and had a test to study for as well therefore no workout. And on Tuesdays I don't wake up early enough to do fasted cardio, so before lunch I did 35 minutes of jumping rope. :) Kind of had relatively lazy days the past two days, but back on Kayla's workout tmw! Can't wait to kill the workout! { Pacsun : Kirra black dress// Bullhead black jean vest} For some reason when I see people running around on bike paths and around the neighborhood, I think it's such a great sight. Maybe it's because seeing that makes me motivated as well? I'm not sure. Or the fact that there are a good number of people who jog around with their family and/or friends or even by themselves. I've tried to convince my family to take evening strolls with me, but ever since Daylight Savings, it's become much too dark once...

Yesterday I checked my mail and finally got this bad boy from Groupon: Jarv NMotion bluetooth earbuds with sports armband. It has changed my life. HAHA jk, but it's super convenient to not have to wear an armband and just have my phone in my bag or on the table. I can't wait to use this at the gym when I don't have to constantly take out my phone from the armband if I want to text or look up something (haha I know I know, I shouldn't be texting so much while doing my workouts, but at least I do it quickly and after a set is done, right?). o:) Imagining how it'd feel to have bewbs melon sized. Isn't this mini watermelon so cute though Last time I was doing a countdown, or more like a countup of workouts to Halloween, but this time I decided to just do a countdown of days til  12/12  since I seemed to lose count of when I worked out or not.. [12/12 is when I get to see Mr. Marshmallow!] Therefore I have almost 4 weeks to keep working on ma body. Usually at...

Okk. I only did part 1 + dancing around and jumping around because I was doing this fasted. But hey 1000/3 = about 333 calories. I'll take that! I started to look into youtube HIIT videos because I got a little bored with the Insanity workouts. It's also motivating to see "in real life" people working out too (Shaun T is like a workout guru/celebrity :P) Listening to great unce-lifting music really, absolutely helps! I came upon Mandy Lee 20  HIIT playlist today by random search on Soundcloud. Great for cardio for sure :)
