Saturday & Sunday - 19 days left

Image
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...

Brutal Bodyweight HIIT 3 - Christine Salus

Image
I have to say this is my favorite Christine Salus Hiit workout yet. It's great because there is no need for equipment, just your own bodyweight and what you put into the workout. Did this video right after work and before dinner. Honey can't eat until workout done for the day! So for a couple of days I was a bit out of commission in the working out aspect because while I was doing HIIT Sprints I must've tweeked my knee. X.x google said it's Runner's knee . Whatever it was it really hurt and I could feel my joints grating against each other o_0 grosses me out. So I let that rest and mend itself while I took calcium and glucosamine pills which I believe really helped speed the healing process. However, I also noticed that I really need to be active every day because I get restless, lethargic as well, and kind of low-key depressed. Need my natural endorphins I suppose. I might be able to blame it on TOM and depleted hormones messing with me as well. Hormones yo...

Yesterday I learned that ginger is a diuretic

I'm sure everyone knows ginger is good for you, but don't know exactly how it's good for your body. Personally I didn't know either but I just saw some ginger hanging out in our fridge and decided to make honey + lemon + ginger tea. And I've been peeing all day. At the beginning of the day I thought it might be the coffee making me use the bathroom so much, however finally by the latter part of the day I realized the culprit may be ginger. It is. Ginger is a diuretic. I've also learned some more key reasons to continue to use ginger and I'm loving all of them! Fights cancer, specifically ovarian cancer. And the American Cancer Society promotes ginger as a cancer treatment 'to keep tumors from developing.' Helps with irritable bowel syndrome - calming effect on our digestive system. I definitely need these for presentation days.. Slows down loss of brains cells (typically seen leading to Alzheimer's) Relieves/recovers muscles (useful ...
