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

but I will do them one step at a time! haha how does time pass by so fast? And how come I have so many ideas to blog about when I'm being lazy on my bed, however once I feel like typing and reminiscing... I draw a blank? very strange But for now, I have overnight oatmeals in coconut on my mind. This picture shall be my inspiration.

This is what I drank after my Leg workout. The day before my mom boiled soybeans and then we put them in the blender and gave them a whirl. (we had Korean Kong Guk Su - Soybean cold noodles) So with some of the leftover soybean milk mixture I decided to incorporate into a smoothie. +frozen blueberries +fresh squeezed orange juice +strawberries +chia seeds I'm trying to add chia seeds to my daily routine because for nutrition-wise, they contain a lot of fat and protein and not much carbs. Also for that reason they also can help curb hunger. This would be useful in a keto/low carb diet since there's not much carbs (in your diet) to keep you full longer. :)

For brunch I sliced a banana, added fresh blueberries, threw in some walnuts, sprinkled cinnamon, and drizzled on honey. THIS BE BANANAS. PARTY IN MY MOUTH. It's so gratifyingly delicious. I also splashed some milk to eat it kind of like a cereal. I believe this is my current breakfast obsession.  For dinner I had the inspiration from  http://pinchofyum.com/chopped-thai-chicken-salad I just sliced the chicken however instead of shredding it. And I used kale since I didn't have cabbage. Also made some changes to the salad dressing by adding a sweet chili thai sauce to the mix, didn't realize the peanut butter was finished. It was a winner with the family :) However... I didn't go workout today T_T just stretching and yoga. So I also planned out my week of workouts and pledged to not miss any.

I think I have a pretty amazing data collection of food inspirations if I say so myself o:). OOh may I add a healthy  collection. One that I think could be so delicious, nutritious, appealing, and still not be calorically dense. However the con about that is that I forget what I have accumulated over time. I want to try to knock some off (at least one a week) my virtual to-do list. So I'm kind of having a sweet tooth yet I am too lazy to attempt the other ones that I have: I shall try to recreate a Raw banana split, so maybe watch out for that in a future post. I'm not sure the source of this picture but if it is yours and you'd like it removed please let me know. thank you. But here's how I might try to accomplish my version - soak chia seeds overnight in milk, cut a banana, and slice fruits, sprinkle granola & nuts, and if I had chocolate protein powder I'd mix that with milk or water and kind of use it like chocolate syrup. I also want to work on...

Just got asked if I wanted in n out.. can't refuse Saw a bag of chips on the table, had a few. handfuls.. Discovered 4 cartons of ice cream in freezer. Actually refrained myself! This is why I never buy junk food! Anywayss, I've been pretty busy and drained the past three weeks. Got to travel back to norcal to visit my awesomely cool friends for July 4 and time just passed by so quickly. Ate relatively healthy and did Insanity 85% of the days there. Then rushed back home via Amtrak with basically everyone and their moms and their families the Sunday after and found out I'm returning my car for another. And finally BAM waking up at 6 am every morning for school. It's been 1.5 weeks and I'm gradually warming up to my new 'family.' There are two girls that I seem to click the best with, but I most definitely have an easier time befriending guys. "WE NEED MOAR DUDES," as my guy friends would say. I got you guys, I'm recruiting. So my sche...

omg why didn't I think of using tofu in shakes before?? I sometimes love to just eat raw, silken tofu  because it's kind of like pudding... Tchh who needs protein powder anyways. I love this more natural alternative! < In this smoothie for my post-workout: Pineapples, strawberries, banana, 1/2 cup of tofu and some water. Delicious =) Happy Dianasaur The first two links are more information about tofu as protein source in smoothies and the last link is a recipe for a chocolate/tofu milkshake! http://www.livestrong.com/article/182441-how-to-make-your-own-gym-protein-shake/ http://www.livestrong.com/article/85985-make-protein-shakes-protein-powder/ http://chocolatecoveredkatie.com/2012/09/12/chocolate-protein-milkshake/ healthy, gym, fitness, workout, protein, proteinshake, cheaper, natural, smoothie, post workout, fruits, strawberry, pineapple, banana, tofu, soy,

Most of the classes that I'm interested in are scheduled at the busiest time of the day (at the gym) which is usually from 5:30 to 7:30 pm. I try to keep Monday evenings open just because my gym offers 'boxing boot camp' and you get your ass kicked in that class. Today I realized my sweats were all gone so I was looking all over for them so that I can wear them over my short, short workout shorts in the freezing cold. So.... I was too late for that. Therefore, I waited for the cycling class, but apparently you need tickets from the front desk to claim a bike. Boo. Had to motivate myself to go on a bike and do my own HIIT cardio on it. Was going to run on treadmill or go on stairmaster but of course they're all taken! SEE, lose-lose for me since it's so busy I can't go to class and the rest of the gym is packed like sweaty sardines. Though there is one silver lining: eye-candy be it women or men. Evening is the optimal time to see some cuties. Don't ask ...
