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...

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 ...

My blog took a summer break along with me... I miss the long summer days and being less busy though. I don't want my blog to disappear off to oblivion so I'm going to try putting content more often, (goal for now, once a week at least??) We'll see how it goes, I have to be better with time management, and also find a way to stay perky all day instead of just from 5am-1pm. But no worries! I've been eating healthy, drinking lots of water, trying to get in an appropriate amount of sleep each night, and also squeezing in my workouts. Thanks to this video, it has spurred me to come back to my blog and share it :D

Sorry guys! I'm not sure how the week passed me by so quickly? It's funny how I've been waking up early and sleeping at a decent hour too. And I think I was quite productive each day, but still didn't give myself enough time and motivation to blog. I think I've been just kind of in a blogging rut - But I promise I worked out! hmmm, if workout is not blogged or documented, was there really a workout? haha jk Wait. I also think I had another culprit - LOL Youtube vids . Lately I've been obsessing over youtubers' apartment tours and morning routines. HAa.. I'm such a "voyeur." Youtube videos have given me other forms of motivation and inspiration, although it does create a lot of wants as well. (well, that's why there's so many ads and product placement right? exactly) Anyways, What I've learned this week : 1) Planning out meals in advance is definitely helpful. I do have to tweak couple times, but having a set plan helped preven...

Why yes, I do love Abs & BBQ still sore from squats & deadlifts! Not really complaining, since it means my muscles are growing :) Fasted AM workout : attempted to do week 3 BBG LEGS. did some jump squats and burpees, but eventually just ended up doing jumping jacks and jumproping while watching The Neighbors hahah! zemmm Zac Efron and his body that "is like a giant arrow that points to his dick" LMAO umm, other than the morning workout, I have been generally lazy and did work on my desk all day. Food-wise, I tried to not eat anything processed today. I also ate fruits after eating pork belly for lunch because I was still a little hungry - definitely helped satiate me. yahh nothing exciting or noteworthy today. LOL talking about fruits right hahah

Hurro, Jury Duty 2nd day at court, brought charger and listened to podcasts and snacked during recesses This week has been both fast and slow. I had jury duty for the first time and got selected to be a juror. I came with no expectations and left with respect, empathy, and insight. I've noticed how some people are so selfish and indifferent (those that were dismissed from jury selection), but also others who are moral and hold our laws to a high principle. As Americans, we really need to be grateful that we have the right to a trial and that 12 strangers spend X amount of hours and days to listen without bias and to be vigilant in upholding the laws. On the Go Diet In other news though.. wow so many breaks and recesses and long lunch hours. From Monday to Wednesday I was at the courthouse from 9am to 330 pm. And I did not plan nor pack my meals/snacks accordingly. One day I KILLED a Chipotle burrito bowl in one sitting cause I was famished and also had to rush to work ri...

I tell my manfriend this ALL the time. He's been patiently waiting lol. Last week (end of week 7), I was browsing through instagram and #kaylaitsines when I realized that it has already passed the halfway point of 12 weeks! I should be halfway to abs, but I'm not sure if I really am. My diet has not been on par, so it's time to kick it up a notch and really be closer to getting abs in the next (ONLY) 4 more weeks!  But first, lemme get a donut . FREE donut today at all krispy kreme stores! It's ok bro, I added it to my macros already :)) Flexible dieting  for the win But the bad thing about going to krispy kreme is that I just can't stop at just one donut. Haha I ended up getting 4 donuts total - to share with family of course! haha ;) I haven't had donuts since early December in Seattle. Unfortunately, we went to get the donuts in the evening so they didn't have much selection and also the donuts were cold. :( I have forgotten, hot, fresh don...

I'm going to try to input my calories and macros through myfitnesspal and just put up my food journal on here. LOL don't judge my random meals. And also even though my calories may not be "a lot," I eat intuitively and eat when I'm hungry. Also, yesterday's Monday, I woke up a bit late - a little before lunch time. That is why I only had 2 meals. Workout:  Fasted Kayla Itsines Week 10 Monday - Legs Mondaze are hard; have to get back to the weekly grind! Let's make the last week of February great! + saved my carbs for an evening beer o:)

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. Wednesday, Jan 28 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. Thursday, Jan 29 Finally done with my month long course that I had to wake up early ...

I need to be more on point with my diet this week. The past weekend I had japchae, tortilla chips & spinach dips, ice cream, frosted mini wheats, and salt & vinegar chips; carbs were clearly my friend this weekend... I even took naps after snacking. HAHA leap one step forward, fall back two steps is the name of my progress  Monday did Fasted cardio: Week 2 Monday BBG. need more energy! Tuesday August vs Oct. hahah not much gains or losses. No time for fasted cardio but eventually ended up at LA fitness and got a 2 month pass. Not sure if I got an ok deal because my gut feeling for some reason is that I got hustled and rushed. -_- but oh well... I did really miss going to the gym tremendously and feel like I won't take the gym for granted. I think the winning factor for me personally was that I can actually jog/run/walk to this gym if I am so inclined to - Extra CARDIO :) I shall make this one of my month goals before it gets much too cold and/or rainy. Sinc...

{ 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 ...
